The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

“It’s inconceivable to me that law enforcement would recommend the program continue.” Andy McCabe on CNN.

If this was, in fact, an active shooter situation, treating it like a minor inconvenience so you can go back to your fancy dinner is the most end-stage American capitalism display I could possibly imagine

Every publication should publish the names and outlets of the people who attend tonight because most of us will want to be sure we never make the mistake of listening to them again.

this headline is such a great example of “racecraft.” musk isn’t passively posting about “race,” he is actively writing psychotically racist agitprop www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

As happens often, @espiers.bsky.social is pretty much on fire here:

Nothing he can say to them will be as degrading and disgraceful as their own decision to be there in the first place.

The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse. You just got outplayed

Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.

The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears. Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽

My statement on reports that the Trump-Vance Administration may send Afghans, including those who served with the U.S. military and more than 400 children, to the Congo:

The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane. (Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden) popular.info/p/the-media-...

You may have noticed: American politicians are really old. You, and everyone else who follows American politics. But you may not know that American politicians are exceptionally old compared to other democracies. leedrutman.substack.com/p/why-americ...

I think we understand the steps to this dance: 1️⃣Damaging article against Trump or ally 2️⃣Subject claims defamation 3️⃣Sues immediately 4️⃣A month later, media entity files motion to dismiss 5️⃣Months after that, it's granted. Case dismissed. 6️⃣Appeal. Takes a year. 7️⃣By the time appeal fails, world moves on.

Astonishing levels of hypocrisy from the "free speech" social network. Half of the content on X is more incendiary than this! Ironically, this will only bring more visibility to Gil's work.

We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

The Supreme Court will decide whether Colorado violated the First Amendment's free exercise clause by requiring schools participating in its universal pre-K program to abide by a non-discrimination policy that Catholic schools reject. (Exceedingly ominous.) www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Accept that it will be terrible. Sit down fully committed to writing absolute dogshit. Then fix it.

We murdered three more people in boats today

We live in a country where an average of 70 women are shot and killed by a current or former partner every month, but people will still say there is no threat to the general public? I have a question. Since when are women not a part of the general public? 3/3 dot-connecting.ghost.io/its-the-guns...

I think you have to be drunk to use logic this poorly

When you’re desperate to keep your job….

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

They run back the same playbook with the same players every Sunday.

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it. Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

You failed in your analysis during the campaign. Now we reap what you have sown.

In which seals clap because Biff just <signed his name> like a big boy Hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.

Trump’s “complicated relationship with the Bible” is a lot like my complicated relationship with Charlize Theron

NEW: In the middle of the night, the House tried to pass a bill that would have given President Trump and Stephen Miller the power to spy on Americans without a warrant for years to come. It failed due to pressure from the public — but they plan to vote again in just 2 weeks.

CASAR: You've met with CEOs, you've met with billionaires. How many have you met with that have lost their health insurance? RFK Jr: I've met with the advocacy community on virtually everything C: Have you met with any of the 1.4m who lost their coverage? K: They're almost all illegal immigrants

We're watching the open web as it existed die in real time.

my conspiracy theory is wall street is doing everything it can to keep everything from collapsing until dems take the house and senate so they can blame the implosion on them

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

If you think Trump depicting himself as Jesus is blasphemous, wait until you hear how he cut food assistance and healthcare to poor children.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, the youths are super into IRL human interactions, no AI, and “physical media” (vinyl! DVDs! tapes!) right now and it’s glorious. Like there are 20yo influencers that just read old paper books and talk about feelings.

incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope

None of the American Orbán fans know much about Hungary. What matters to them is an imaginary place called “Hungary” – which they imagine as a stronghold of white patriarchal Christianity, where men still get to be real men and punish the “wokes” and the “globalists.”

The thing where voters don't believe republican policies could be as evil as they are apparently extends to the republicans actually in charge of the government just mindlessly implementing them

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

This is culturally really dangerous. Functioning societies depend on most people mostly following the rules even when they could probably get away with not doing so. That breaks down very fast once a critical mass decide that makes them saps and suckers.

This is NUTS www.thehandbasket.co/p/trump-usai...

I don't think my day can recover from "I thought it was me as a doctor." Let's call it a wrap.

Domestic actors should note this too. Trump has no institutional or personal constraint, so his credibility is zero. Making a "deal" with him is like making a deal with a roulette wheel.

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

They’re never going to stop trolling.
