We are so (repeatedly) stupid

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

oh god

I would hazard a guess that Legal didn't review this

I just....

What the ever loving fuck

Bluesky is extra depressing today.

I want to know how many staff hours have gone to this

who among us has not hacked up a journalist with a bone saw or hung a college activist from their ankles until death

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

I think I did some good work here overall, but my guess is that most people are going to want to fast forward to the 34:30 mark to hear me and "David" from North Carolina. www.c-span.org/program/wash...

/3 There’s a tension between “leaking is good actually because we learn more about the operation of government” and “it’s not great for the government to attack and punish people through leaks,” and I don’t think the media has, as a culture, ever really figured out that tension.

Gotta include the Maron reply

I don't recognize most of these people but they can all fuck off into the sun

Not a great ham sandwich

I imagine generals must be great at disguising eyerolls bc otherwise how do you make it to general, am I right

Hahahahahaha Taylor Swift doesn't need exposure

Extremely funny things are happening www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Every day is more embarrassing

AI is making everyone so stupid

And it's only Tuesday

OH MY GOD

You can't write a letter this lunatic and just tack "don't tell anyone" on at the end JFC

Oh dear he strikes again

calling autism a “tragedy” and saying that there should be fewer autistic people are eugenicist talking points. Everyone who opposes such views also needs to recognize the ways in which everyday ableism left the door wide open for a person like RFK Jr.

Jesus what an OTT tongue bath of a profile

JFC

Because his companies use H2-B

tl:dr - Judge just told Trump "I ain't reading all that shit, go try again." The order starts with the phrase "As every member of the bar of every federal court knows (or is presumed to know)..."

Ok "gawrsh" took me out

Saying mean things to Donald Trump is not a RICO predicate act. Even YELLING at Donald Trump is not a RICO predicate act.

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years. Speaks for itself.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Listening to the sleepy time podcast by @johnmoe.bsky.social who asked if they remembered a best night of sleep ever and now I super do

"you can do what we like but not what we don't like" -ass SCOTUS

FFS

so his argument is that someone used an autopen to forge a private birthday card in 2003 to frame then real estate guy donald trump?

Good god

Not a great sign when the NRA is doing more to speak up against trans people having constitutional rights stripped away than a lot of our actual supposed allies are.

Bro what

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...

And then every single year they tell me I have dense tissue and should really pay out of pocket for an ultrasound like....

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.

Ouch SCOTUS

It's not like I had plans to go to FL anytime soon but wow I might truly never go back

The Trump admin dumped half a dozen men with serious criminal records in the Kingdom of Eswatini, where they are being jailed indefinitely despite all having finished serving criminal sentences in the United States. It’s a disturbing situation.
