yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Not for nothing, I really think JD is misreading the room ahead of the 2028 general. Woke 2 is gonna eat him alive for saying stupid shit like this

I thought this was a facile, childlike sentiment at the time. It’s a badge of honor.

i know one view is that "they don't intend to lose power" but i honestly think this gives them way too much credit.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

I am just a random dude. I have 300 followers & mostly use social media to see news/funny stuff/learn things. It is not a moral imperative that I try to use my accounts to persuade hearts & minds. My time & money, as opposed to my posts, way more effective ways of fighting the hard right.

they're coming to him with tears in their eyes saying sir, you have no juice, you have the least juice we've ever seen

I’M LOSING MY SHIT THIS IS SO FUNNY

He's the God Damn Motherfucking Super Bowl MVP who has played the best in big games. You don't bench him. Period. For what, to get the most out of a Sirianni, Patullo offense. Man fuck that shit. If you can't win with Hurts, find another job.

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.

Very strong piece by Jack Goldsmith: “But there can be no conceivable legal justification for U.S. Special Operations Forces kill[ing] the survivors of a first strike on a drug boat off the coast of Trinidad who ‘were clinging to the smoldering wreck.’” open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

the food looks unappetizing too

Good.

We get used to it, but it’s shocking to take a step back & realize how totally, unbelievably disingenuous this is.

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

Tired: taco trucks on every corner Wired: trans swimmers in every pool

This is a jumbled, word salad answer that means nothing. It is part of the reason why Jefferies is so bad at his job. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

I can’t believe our elites are going to force me to know who this person is for the next 20 to 40 years.

Maybe this sounds naive, but this is a shocking degree of open racism. Like a standard deviation above what we were previously dealing with (which was not the best).

this is exactly what's happening

Bump

No shit

Go Birds, fuck ICE

Part of the problem is the Thiel-types have an incomprehensible amount of hubris—they literally think they’re an expert on anything & everything, despite knowing minimally about it. &, of course, they’re the ones who *actually* live in a bubble surrounded by yes-men.

No. No No. NO NO NO NO.

A fantastic, insightful piece on something that I’ve thought a lot about in our era of politics: why are there no penalties for openly lying or displaying enormous hypocrisy? Thanks @eric-reinhart.com

These women are fuckin awesome. Honestly, the DNC should hire them to vet congressional candidates. Immediate subscribe. @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I read Caleb Nelson's piece on the removal power and I was taken with a reference he makes in the conclusion.

Can I give Harrison Bader my groin for tomorrow

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you. And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it. This is not about politics. It's about people. Let’s break it down:

Kristi Noem's goons raided a car wash in August and shattered a guy's leg. They then held him in custody under 24/7 supervision in a California hospital, hiding him using various fake names. They interrogated him but did not charge him. It took a judge's order to make ICE let him go. What?

Their slogan hasn’t been “Arby’s: we have the files” for nothing, to be fair

When Stephen Miller hijacks the Major League Baseball social media account

My official position regarding tonight’s baseball game.

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

I haven’t had my jaw hit the floor like this since reading Das Kapital. Patrick Cosmos, a true public intellectual

Yup. 👇

He thinks he should have gotten the Pulitzer Prize, & the biggest revelation was that Biden’s campaign politely asked Twitter to take down posts from conservative accounts sharing pictures Hunter Biden’s penis

Ths is just all Republicans now. They interact with bots they pay for, go to retreats where everyone claps and cheers at their dumb ideas, talk shows where they just blow smoke up their ass. it colors so much of their thinking like they really thought thought trump would be greeted as a liberator

Can’t we furlough the fuckin Nazi running this account

David Cross folks.

This is how you know Rodger has put it on his hit list to start the year. They were so ready to run that segment after complaining about it.

I have always believed ‘ole Kevvy P had that in him.

Why are the richest people always so stupid? The billionaire mind virus is a real problem.
