At this point the White House asking people not to, basically creates the ethical mandate to do so.

Life is full of metaphors

All I am saying is try to live your life so you never have to make those nice young men on Pod Save America look visibly miserable trying to rehabilitate you

Oh, I know this one! They do. They need to be reminded of this.

So no terrorism then?

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals  You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Seth Moulton announced he is running for Senate instead of reelection. We deserve a Congress that understands technology & fights for us. No matter who my opponents end up being, I am in this race. If you also believe America can have good things, join us at bethforamerica.com!

TOP: Prem shares a clip of Noem saying “we’re going to take the same approach with Antifa” as they did with the boats they bombed (without evidence) BOTTOM: Ingraham’s latest segment saying “they’re all Antifa now”🤔 BOTTOM LINE: We are over the cliff here, folks

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

She'll figure it out on her own

I will repost every portland frog joke

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials. I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

This joke is both internally and externally valid.

It absolutely is.

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed after this. It ended up being a perfect representation of what she would do.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

ANTIFA:

Historians argue that Trump indicting his enemies one-by-one rather than having them murdered in a single night proves he’s not a fascist.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

typically you don't receive play by plays of what a grand jury is doing

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Shit a brick!

I wrote legal editorials for the Post for a hot minute many years ago, and I was constantly anxious about making sure I got the details right. This editorial is just humiliating for everyone involved

If #trump holds his end of the bargain up, I am willing to put him on a coin.

This civil war will be different, because this time we will win. by Pete Hegseth, Steve Miller, and JD Vance

I thought the one where he was a Black Panther was in poor taste

Stephen Miller called for violence after a ruling by Judge Goodstein and then days later her house goes up in flames. We’re not talking about this enough and how we bring awareness to the violent rhetoric this administration is using to further their agenda and incite these acts.

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

Same thing happened in LA, same thing happened in DC: prosecutors charged people with assaulting a federal officer and then furiously backpedaled when the evidence didn’t support it

And if you're not, for whatever reason, that's valid, too. But you need to be ready to step up and help support those who are in whatever ways you can.

At #IEPEC 2025. The poster session is on the 38th floor. This is my view right now: Denver's a pretty cool city.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

God bless the EIA

A time honored retreat for a certain political milieu.

Here’s an idea for a reporter: Gather some retired cops or MPs together and show them how ICE handles hecklers and protesters. I guarantee you’ll get some amazing copy. Especially if your outlet lets you reprint profanity.

Is it a little cringe to write about how the latest viral thing actually teaches valuable lessons about politics? Yes. Did I do it anyway? Absolutely yes, because this time it's totally true. And because I genuinely love KPop Demon Hunters, having had to watch it 10 times already.

This is one of those motions that never succeeds. This is a final guardrail working.

@rparloff.bsky.social Thank you for re-centering the horror of what's going on with DoJ right now (I think I'm 2 Lawfare Lives behind). I was listening to discussion of Comey's indictment and trying to figure out how to ask "Y'all sound pretty sanguine about this but how freaked out is reasonable?"

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

I'm running the Portland, Maine TRACON airspace specifically the welcome new (and newer) pilots to the VATSIM network. All are welcome, GA aircraft in particular are encouraged. Got push-to-talk anxiety? Looking for chilled out airspace? COME FLY WITH ME! twitch.tv/phdipo #avgeek #studentpilot

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Thread. Depressing, but thread.

The capitulation is almost as bad, to be clear. Your profit margins won't save you.

‘I’m just saying, Teddy, we gets lots of treats and cuddles. Maybe *this* is Valhalla’

A lot of people are going to be asking this, now that Kirk’s killing appears to be right on right violence.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate
