"In a just world, where the career of a political pundit was somehow tied to his ability to analyze politics, this would be an extinction-level event for these morons."

once again, "the supreme court will act as a bunch of partisan republican hacks" is the single most accurate heuristic for predicting its behavior, putting any coherent legal theory to shame because fuck you, that's why

Lawless ass Court

If the Supreme Court pulled something like this while FDR was president, he would have had them escorted out of the building and nailed the doors shut. When the Dems take power, they should consider that.

When partisan politics is the best predictor of how Supreme Court justices rule in all the high-stakes cases with real-world electoral implications, the correct thing for journalists to do is describe the justices as "Democrats" and "Republicans"

So many people committed to making others suffer.

This book reads like one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s jade vagina eggs became sentient

if your spouse was murdered less than three months ago you’d probably be grieving or spending time with your family, and that’s why you’re not invited to the Dealbook Summit

Senator Mark Kelly has seen the Trump admin's classified justification for the boat strikes and said they should be released to the public. Kelly can release the info himself due legislative immunity; but when asked if he would, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

"How can the judge justify blocking this law from taking effect, since people can simply elect leaders who will repeal it," I ask myself in the mirror, excited for my first day of high school debate club next week

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes. Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

interesting to see her leaning on the argument that pro-palestinian voices are unfamiliar with the relevant history, as if any amount of historical context could justify what's happening in palestine

I've had enough of your cockamamie schemes. it's high time for cuntamamie schemes #feminism

The President has 2 settings: diarrhea and asleep

Very similar to the trans-kids panic, where the prestige media narrative is that it's far too easy but you talk to any trans person, expert or parent and it's obvious that it's way too hard.

in reality i think ONLY trans people should be teachers

“It is reductive to say that the central fantasy of contemporary conservatism is Punching The Teacher, but it is not really wrong.”

A lot of ChatGPT power users are guys who watched Weird Science when they were 8, and thought, “What if I could do that *without* being smart?”

every artist can easily do this when this happens, and if they don’t, we should ask why

Wild to me that anyone treated Antonin Scalia's opposition to affirmative action as sincere or intellectually honest, when all anyone did at his Supreme Court confirmation hearings was gush about how meaningful it was to FINALLY have an Italian American justice

it’s kind of insane it came out that the president might be one of the most notable pedophiles in modern history and he’s just still the president

👍

they're literally just LARPing as the federal government i hate them all so much

i love it when kids just tell random lies that make absolutely no sense, io just matter of factly told me he checked out some hashbrowns from the library

trans people have a a biological advantage at making pundits insane

Nature Begins Reclaiming Chuck Grassley

"Republicans are driving up your electricity bills so they can generate AI memes about their war crimes" should be a political layup

We are in peak French heist season.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit. All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

there is no comprehensive list of dangerous criminal undocumented migrants. nor are there many of them in the country at all. “mass deportations” are by definition gonna be almost exclusively peaceful immigrants and sweep up LPRs, people on visas, these are the easy people to locate!

it would be nice if @chrismurphyct.bsky.social did a lot reflection on his own rhetoric about the border and migrants and whether that’s contributed to a political and social culture permissive of this depravity

Conservatives after I enjoy anything in life.

everyone knows the number one quality of rigorous, responsible journalism is waiting months and months to reveal urgently newsworthy information until it can cause the most harm in your personal vendettas

Writing about my wife’s naked political corruption like a Dan Brown novel

Somebody could have ended all this by handing her a single book

Plyler v Doe (S.Ct. 1982) held that the 14th Amdt EPC applies to "any person within its jurisdiction" regardless of immigration status: "That a person's initial entry into...the United States was unlawful...cannot negate the simple fact of his presence within the State's territorial perimeter."

The "reporter" lady fucking sources and running catch and kill ops is a huge part of the issue with journalism but so is the corrupt sack of shit ex who knew about all this and said nothing till he felt personally betrayed and is now tossing out tidbits in planned instalments to have you pay him

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

Today I passed a billboard w/ an ai-ass nativity scene beneath a giant cosmic Jesus and big text asking "Do You Love The Man As Much As The Baby?" and I choked on the coke zero I was drinking while driving and I stifled a cough and the bubbles foamed up through my nasal passages. I felt so present.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

It’s amazing what a country can achieve when its accountability mechanisms function without fear or political interference.

Old white dudes fantasizing about going John Brown on ice agents? This shit might really be heading for a tipping point

the main thing we’ve learned is Olivia Nuzzi does all her sexting in the form of try-hard poetry
