What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

"I’m raising a kid... I’m working really hard, and I’m not really paying enough attention and the kid is kind of getting miffed at me, and then I get locked out. [Kevin’s son] won’t let me in… and he’s the one setting traps for me." - Macaulay Culkin. 🏡 #HomeAlone bit.ly/45e2ke9

That fuckin sucks guys. This deployment is wholly unneeded and paints the National Guard as the faces of facism even tho they signed up to help their communities during times of crisis. Now they cant *have* a holiday, much less spend it with their families.

CBS News caused a controversy after it pulled a report about Venezuelan men who were deported by the Trump administration to a brutal prison in El Salvador. But the segment, as originally edited by “60 Minutes” staff members, soon surfaced online in full.

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

BREAKING: Huge loss for Trump administration at Supreme Court, which rules that the Trump administration had lacked authority to federalize and deploy the National Guard to execute laws in Illinois. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Good call. They’ve put out so many false leads already hoping to muddy the waters. Let’s not rush to break news and fall into their traps.

very specific to DC complaint here but when trump is threatening to take over the city's historically significant public golf courses so he can privatize them and make them another getaway for the 1% i don't think going "well maybe they shouldnt be golf courses to begin with" is helpful or realistic

(With tears in my eyes) sir no one has ever mastered that ceremony better

Zendaya poses for sweet family photo with fiancé Tom Holland and actor’s parents

...yes, that's pretty much exactly what happened, just like the weird fake suicide attempt video that's also been going around

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

Thank God these MAGAssholes are fucking stupid

The minute by minute battle between people uploading the video and companies taking it down is a real early internet idealism information wants to be free cyberpunk situation

UPDATE I have updated my story linked below with a high-quality broadcast version of the 60 Minutes segment that was pulled by Bari Weiss. Here it is (no paywall): bit.ly/4qn6Jn5

All of the processing power at YouTube right now is being diverted to remove the 60 minutes episode uploads.

Fair use.

Counterpoint: racists should be punched in the face in the moment at every available opportunity by anyone who hears it

I have seen infinitely more people saying they don't understand the hate for Nolan Odyssey than I have seen any actual hate for the Nolan Odyssey, so all I can say is I've curated my timeline appropriately.

When the hangings begin, this cocksucker needs to be included in the first batch

Over a dozen Heritage Foundation employees recently walked away from their jobs. Heritage has been wrapped in controversy after its president defended Tucker Carlson’s interview of Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist who routinely espouses antisemitic views.

On a call just now, Bari Weiss tells staff she held the CECOT story because it wasn’t ready & to advance a months-old story, they need "the principals" on record. Yesterday, CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi warned if they can only do stories when government responds, it “gains control” over 60 Minutes.

JD Vance might be the most powerful openly antisemitic person in the country.

When I say that it's grim that Jewish people on the right are about to find themselves unwelcome, I am referring to rising antisemitism, which is dangerous and bad Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens aren't just against Israel. They are actively promoting antisemitic tropes. This is a problem!

Asked by Erika Kirk what her advice to young men is, Nicki Minaj says, “don’t be like [Gavin] Newscum.” Nicki then refers to Trump as “our handsome, dashing president.” She then referred to JD Vance as “an assassin,” and remembered whom she was on stage with. Erika Kirk then assures her it’s fine

Once families were separated and rights eroded it’s suddenly recognized that the liberal-left was mad about stuff that would actually be bad! “Triggered?” Yes, the ideas are triggering emotional responses in people who realize the implications thereof! Yes! It is wrong to do these things! Yes!

SCOTUS will stop it, but I want the fight and I hope they do it.

But when the time comes to turn that into concrete policy, suddenly that wiggle room doesn’t exist. Suddenly a lot of people feel like “I didn’t vote for *this*!” because they thought they were voting for a different thing to happen to a different kind of person.

There’s also something deeper here: when a lot of your rhetoric boils down to “your problems are caused by the bad people. our policy is to get rid of the bad people,” that will resonate with a lot of people who fill in the blanks according to their own prejudices.

Do Dems actually think there’s any return to “normal” if they don’t exercise their power? Because there isn’t. This is just normalizing gross abuse of power.

It's a mix. We're talking 77.3m people, so there's bound to be variation within. I don't know exact percentages, not least because poll respondents aren't the most reliable about explaining past decisions, but my sense is maybe 10-20% of his voters didn't believe him, and that is a decisive margin.

That's the crazy thing (well, among the crazy things): Some didn't. Seriously. A bunch of Americans, likely numbering in the millions, saw the Mass Deportations Now signs and thought "only the violent criminals" or "that's just typical political exaggeration, everyone does it" or "triggered, lib?"

This is a crowd of people who chose to become delegates to his RNC coronation, holding slick, mass-produced signs. They bear as much resemblance to Trump voters as a Georgetown cocktail party does to Democratic voters.

A Trump-appointed judge was so upset with the living conditions in which ICE detained an immigrant in Long Island, New York, that he threatened to hold the government in contempt. “I have never encountered anything like this." trib.al/0xSiFOr

The gall to treat the 2024 election like it was a binding referendum on American culture, a lasting “vibe shift” to which others must accommodate, then within a year proclaim the cultural change over, as if a bystander, not an active contributor manufacturing vibe shifts by overdetermining results.

When I scrolled down and saw the song and the artist I busted out laughing

I really dislike this new trend of attacking politicians if they don’t attend memorial events, by claiming it shows they don’t care about your community, and also booing them when they do attend, because how dare they show their face in your community.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

These assholes will be clerks for Neil Gorsuch in a few years, most likely.

Find yourself someone who will look at you the same way Sam and Frodo look at each other

So weird how stuff like this keeps happening apnews.com/article/rele...

I'm just saying, @davemilbo.bsky.social can really write a headline.

Look if we just go around beating the absolute shit out of social media assholes there’s bound to be some sort of long-term theoretical negative externality or something Anyway be careful out there Nate Silver

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

The power outage and spotty cell service sending Waymos in San Francisco into a total meltdown is pure comedy.

Just learned from our younger child what the current version of “first world problems” is. YC - “So my friend told me he couldn’t fit in his slacks anymore because his glutes had gotten bigger from working out, and I was like ‘oh no your lobster’s too buttered’”

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

It’s maddening that the same people who were rabid cold warriors and claim to be staunch anti-communists are the same ones cheerleading the former head of the KGB reconstituting the Soviet Union. The amount of cognitive dissonance for these people live with and function is mind blowing
