If I told you ten years ago all of the Jeopardy winners, doctors, lawyers, stat-focused sports nerds, and premium shitposters escaped Twitter on a pirate ship to a website that was completely inhospitable to Nazis and phrenologists……. I don’t know, man, I’d be pretty excited.

Introducing 250 to 250: A series of one-minute stories of the many people, places, and events that have built our country and remind us of the power of each person to make history. #WeAreAmerica250

Just wow. The Watseka Theatre (1931) in a little county seat. Designed by Louis Skidmore whose firm would later build the Sears Tower.

Rubio says that US-led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine "were not fruitful." Not fruitful? ​Let’s look at facts: your negotiators visited Russia seven times, and Ukraine zero times. You demanded concessions from Ukraine before negotiations even began, and throughout the entire process.

How many times did we hear that lying lunatic Trump bray about Barack Obama "giving" (it was not a gift—it was a settlement of a dispute) Iran $400 million (with $1.3 billion in interest) on "pallets"? Trump is giving Iran almost FIFTEEN TIMES that amount of money. What a shameless hypocrite.

Yes, the joy. Love it!

Btw. In losing to Iran in a war he started, Trump has found a novel way to end another war. Nobel Peace Prize, Baby!

Final laptop edit: the moment we've all been waiting for when we see baby geese on street. 🪶 🐣

These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

omg this is insane

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

Google's CEO saying that the reason there's intense backlash to AI is because humans aren't "evolved" enough to understand it youtu.be/RgV57kDzcng?...

Time travel. It's a MAGA thing. Like Waffle House teleporting.

He did not “accuse” them of it. He’s a judge. He “found” that they had, in fact, done so. JFC NPR, do better.

I’d encourage everybody to watch 12 Angry Men. It’s a film from 1957 about a murder trial and it applies to everything we’re seeing today with cognitive dissonance and anti intellectualism

I didn’t know Greenland had entered a teen beauty pageant.

Just so I understand correctly, leaders of countries can now go to OTHER COUNTRIES & actually arrest the elected leaders of those countries if they feel the leader is guilty of crimes? Hello, Canada? DID YOU HEAR THIS?🤔

I mean, he’s right but…

Thune losing control of the caucus

I'll never get over how wonderful this scene is. It's a DEElight.

It's worth reminding yourself of what happened on January 6, painful as it is. Turning its villains into heroes rewarded with our/taxpayer money? Crime compounded.

I think a lot of people should go to prison when this is over

Woot!

"‪It would emit more CO2 than the entire nation of Jamaica."

Way to go, Allison!!!

It could not be more obvious. Trump wouldn't have any need to shut investigations down if they would find him innocent.

Good for the Colorado Dems!! Exactly the sort of thing we need to fire up.

The Biden Administration also wronged me, and I will now apply to Trump's "slush fund" and demand millions of dollars. I recommend that every American flood the system. Thanks @muellershewrote.com for the tip. I am no longer a silent victim!

oh

This is a truly disgusting, antisemitic comment. I’m appalled at the level of bigotry and xenophobia that has become normalized in our politics. We cannot accept it, and we must call it out regardless of what party or individual it comes from. (1/2)

So TECHNICALLY this isn't illegal. It needs to be codified into law explicitly to make it unquestionably illegal. We can't rely on any president to follow "norms" ever again.

People need to get cute with language QUICK. Slush fund ain’t cutting it. Something like BANK HEIST Highway robbery Something better than I can come up with but head this off at the pass. Get his supporters pissed that their money is getting wasted while they struggle (that’s a peeve of theirs)

Oooh, I hope there's a way to do this!!

Beat cops for Trump and not only will you get a pardon, you'll get a paycheck.

What's to stop Trump from suing the national Park Service, and then taking Yellowstone for himself from the "settlement"?

recorded this just before news broke that the settlement shields the trump family from IRS audits which is OUTRAGEOUS youtu.be/hraZ4tIuDWA?...

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

There’s no way Trump could have won his frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in court. There’s no way the J6 criminals and conspirators could have won any lawsuits in court. But they didn’t have to, because Trump installed his criminal defense lawyer to steal our money for them.

turns out it was a bit of a whoopsie to focus on low level j6 rioters rather than throwing the ring leaders in jail immediately and tossing the keys. oh well, better luck next time!

Now this will make me feel old. I was born in 1971. I’m 55 now. 55 years before I was born was 1916. World War 1 was going on. My mom was born in 1945 She’s 81 now. 81 years before she was born was 1864. The civil war was going on. The past isn’t even past. Act accordingly

It's important to understand that rightwingers see debates as an exercise in dominance, not a display of adherence to objective reality. From that perspective brazen lying and saying ridiculous things is empowering, not humiliating. Sartre had them pegged.

WOW, this is news! He's breaking his word more and more obviously to his own supporters instead of only to their shared bogeymen.

bill cassidy wants you to know he still loves watching children die of measles in large numbers. he wants that to be his legacy.
