He should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church

MacKenzie Scott: *donates $50M every 10 hours° Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir: "I want to see people hang"

By “sovreignty” he means “states should be weak enough so that billionaires like me should be able to treat them as feudal vassals” bsky.app/profile/lora...

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

What did yall think this was?

“The president inhabits a position of moral leadership. When the president and his officials sell their policies, they’re selling a version of what it means to be an American” I wrote about the Trump administration, the boat strikes, and St. Augustine. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/o...

A prominent physician told everyone last December it wasn’t worth to fight RFK.

A heroin addict who writes bad porn poetry says eliminating the Hepatitis B vaccine will make kids healthier. Medical experts say it will kill thousands of innocent children. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to believe.

Monster

Is he covered by the pardon?

No "two different realities" bullshit. One side is calling for release of the video, and the other is not.

Nor could that boat, before it was bombed, reach the United States. That’s important because it refutes the laughable claim of “imminence” necessary to wrap the strikes under the auspices of a lawful armed conflict.

It’s as fake as department of war

The problem with mainstream dems moving slow is annoying ones fill the gap.

i like dunkelman’s book as well but this argument really ought to grapple with the fact that trump’s agenda is mired in lawsuits and even the signature parts of it, the deportations, fall far short of the president’s ambitions

I was about to dm @donmoyn.bsky.social this garbage oped

Ironically, it says that they understand what it means to be a journalist. Thanks for asking, though.

Initial thoughts: - Natl political landscape has shifted 8+ points towards the Ds, making flipping the House likely, and putting the Senate in play - @aftynbehn.bsky.social was a tremendous candidate, and deserves our thanks - Let's win Miami next Tuesday 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/despite-rs...

Even accounting for the new congressional maps, a swing like Aftyn Behn's (Trump+22 to D-8.6) would net Dems 259 seats in the midterms. Even if the swing is *half* of tonight's, Dems win the House with 229 seats Data: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Good take.

Why wait until the polls close to start that most beautiful pageantry of Democratic politics, the ritualistic Blaming of the Left

Also important to remember: This Republican didn’t vote for the Big Brutal Bill or against releasing the Epstein files.

🚨👀 Pope Leo who spent years of his life as a cleric in Peru asks the Trump admin not to deploy military for regime change in Venezuela. "It is better to search for ways of dialogue, or perhaps pressure, including economic pressure".

David Sacks is someone who is being recognized more and more these days. www.theverge.com/column/83693...

This is like elite dems not understanding trump’s dumb dance, his stupid poem, and his meandering worked.

@princeton.edu really should apologize for Hegseth.

conservatives basically want to implement the caricature of affirmative action for conservative students. acceptance without meeting qualifications, good grades and degrees without having to do the work.

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

Worth noting that the Afghan shooting suspect was five years old on 9/11

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

When troops are deployed overseas in places they absolutely should not be because of a warmonger ass president, and they are killed by someone who acted on their own accord, we typically don’t have a problem blaming the U.S. commander in chief

I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

"There are costs to performatively deploying members of the military—one of which is the risk of endangering them" From @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

So wicked for good is very much for this moment

Is there a gdoc of the Lizza substack?

NEW: Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), who is running for Gov in 2026, says Colorado should not turn over Tina Peters to the Trump administration. Gov Jared Polis (D), who is term-limited, has not said if he will free Peters from state prison under pressure from Trump.

I really don’t think we can overstate the harm that the tech ethos of move fast and break things (followed by the unsaid “and then just move on”) has done beyond tech. Government, ngos, universities, public schools that have invited the folks who think like this in keep ending up gutted

President @vanhollen.senate.gov

Nothing about this feels fair.

Move over Dem Govs Josh’s. We have Dem Govs Walz’ now.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

This is achingly beautiful and almost too painful to read in places (but you still should). The cruelty of cancer, the longing to be with your children — and the twist of fate, being RFK Jr’s cousin as he unwinds U.S. health research.

That’s my Oval Office.

President Van Hollen!

Trump is better at the media than anyone. And folks stay focused on the fight ahead.

Seeing a lot of folks who don’t understand this moment.

From Puerto Rico to Brooklyn, Rep. @velazquez.house.gov has always been a champion and tireless advocate for immigrants, small businesses and working families. Your grace and fight showed us what real leadership looks like. From the bottom of my heart, thank you La Luchadora.

NO ONE TELL ROBERT KENNEDY.
