No cattle though.

the great thing about Musk's comp package being heavily incentive-gated is that it guarantees a decade of systemic financial fraud at the heart of the market. good job everyone

We really need a constitutional amendment to limit presidential pardon power even if it is only possible to pass it after Trump’s term. The founders obviously never envisioned any president using it this brazenly and corruptly while remaining impervious to impeachment.

New rule: if you have enough money for a private island, you have to stay on it.

Trump is threatening the one thing Senators love doing most of all: never doing anything

I don't think Bannon should go to prison. I think he should enjoy a long soak in his hot tub

Should women be hated as witches or patronized as overgrown children? The paper of record debates the two available options.

i have a pretty strong bias toward assuming at least a middling level of competence but it really does feel like the biggest companies in the world are all just making shit up right now

I ate snacks and I'm still hungry wtf is this bullshit

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

the message that people should take away from sandwich guy is that getting blackout and picking fights with cops always ends well. I am a lawyer* and this is legal advice** *this is disputed by the bar, whose legitimacy I do not recognize **for the court of life, before which all are plaintiffs

Packing the Court isn’t enough, they need to give Justice Jackson a gun

Uggghhh

I like how this is completely dystopian, incredibly stupid, and pointlessly expensive but it’s fine because it’s just vaporware.

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

Per a polling memo sent to donor’s after last night’s wins, the Senate Democrats main Super-PAC it is expanding it’s focus to more aggressively target Texas, Iowa, Ohio, and Alaska. We are fucking back

So they acquit Subway Luigi, but they convict and imprison Subway Jared? Someone in the Grand Old Pedo party is asleep at the wheel.

what exactly is the thought process behind refusing to refer to the airports named for Harry Reid and Daniel Inouye correctly, but keeping JFK?

As with Bernhard Goetz in the mid-1980s, juries are sympathetic towards Subway vigilantes.

The Problem Solvers Caucus says “Some problems were not meant to be solved”

the jury nullification take is wrong. If that’s what had happened they wouldn’t have sent a note to the judge asking for definitions of relevant terms. They just didn’t think he did the crime after considering the evidence and following the given instructions. Don’t charge sandwich cases.

Wife comes down, looks at me I look at wife Wife looks at me I look at wife Wife looks at me Me: "50 year anniversary" Wife: "Okay, I love you" Gordon Lightfoot continues playing from my desk speakers

RIP to Gordon Lightfoot. Here's my best attempt circa October 2021 to find every cover of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1LJJI5rkWqzv4EgeRBNmLM?si=8930f6123ef74179

bluesky is going to be so normal about this

Sandwich Guy '28

"average person loses 400 pounds by midterms" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person loses zero pounds by midterms. Asteroid Georg,

People really shat on the Jan 6th commission, but the video of Pelosi taking control and conferencing multiple people on cell phones, dead set on resuming the peaceful transfer of power, was a powerful one. Can you imagine if Trump's coup had succeeded in delaying the certification for *days*?

The law is what n̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶j̶u̶d̶g̶e̶s̶ twelve jurors say the law is

On my way to the protest

And of course there's still my Greasy Roll theory of a second sandwich thrower, still on the loose, the one whose mustard-and-onion laden sandwich struck the agent with such force that it completely vaporized, leaving no evidence but an odor. We know this happened, because otherwise the agent lied.

The jury trial, ladies and gentleman teachingamericanhistory.org/document/the...

Blatant visual metaphor manufacturing continues to soar in America thanks to the policies of Trump

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This is part of what I see as the biggest obstacle to Trump consolidating authoritarianism. He has been as successful as he has because people see what they want in him. This amorphousness makes it very difficult to enforce the kind of discipline needed to consolidate.

Lmao Detroit, man

Like the women I know who are actually GOOD AT PILATES are furious right now, I fear them

The government doesn't want you to know this, but you can throw as many sandwiches as you want at ICE. No one will stop you. I have thrown 15 subs, 8 grinders, 3 cheesesteaks, and 1 wrap at ICE.

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

maybe for the last time: if you told me in 2005 that the future mayor of New York was the foreign-born child of a Columbia human-rights professor and an award-winning filmmaker, my rebuttable assumption would have been that the future mayor of New York was a Jew

Vaxxed?

The next president isn’t gonna have to demolish this because it’s gonna collapse under its own weight during a state dinner.

we're losing a lot of nuance here he jokes about murdering the Republican Speaker of the Virginia House of Representatives he said he hoped his children died in front of him, but he did not actually talk about murdering them they are different things

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.* Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

This is what I imagine it's like being in the military right now.

compare to this to their very upbeat reaction to the 2021 elections

I found the enlistment center. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

The FBI is trying to unmask the owner of infamous archiving site Archive.is, according to a subpoena the site posted. No other information given, the site quietly posted the document a few days ago. FBI telling domain registrar to hand over all sorts of ID'ing info www.404media.co/fbi-tries-to...

The implication of a lot of Trump admin action is that the US can never be good at green tech so it has to lock the world into its rent driven fossil resource economy. A really bleak view of American potential.
