So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

After ICE barred her from a detention hotspot in Manhattan immigration court, @velazquez.house.gov told me, "I stayed there listening to some bullshit." A judge later ruled ICE was out of bounds for preventing members of Congress from visiting these facilities talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/how-...

By the refs' own ruling, the ball should have been placed 15 yards from the previous line of scrimmage and the clock reset to 0:02 when the play ended. The Lions should file a protest.

In contemporary America, evangelical embrace of the MAGA fraud operation has rendered the term "Christian" meaningless. If a stranger told me first thing that he was Christian, I would know nothing more of his beliefs and morals than I did before he spoke. This seems like an inflection point.

As Arendt and Sartre and so many before have told us -- the goal is not to replace truth, but to render the entire concept of shared truth to ruins. To fray all bonds of fellowship and shared ethic among a free people.

This is legitimately prima facie proof of a cover-up. Bondi must go.

God hates me. Yet again.

If relocation is a human right -- and it is -- then so is immigration.

President Nixon released all files according to court order.

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

Let's talk for a moment about the Trump-Kennedy assassination

At least my fave Dallas band Chomsky isn't in the Epstein files

David Brooks is now the third alleged Jeffery Epstein associate at the New York Times. This potentially includes A.G. Sulzberger, the current chairman of the NYT board. The NYT published this piece by David Brooks about Epstein less than a month ago. Why did their executive leadership allow this?

Thinking about MTG's long game for a minute. It's apparent that Republican retirements are going to flip the House in 2026. Whether it's for the joy of fucking Trump over, or the political profit, MTG is about to lead enough R's out to give the D's subpoena power. 1/

The cat formerly known as Sly shall henceforth go by the stage name Purry Como. Mr. Relaxation sends his best

Johnson is on the brink

We need to ask ourselves what an enemy of the US would do to destroy the country from within... and compare that to what the GOP and 47 have done in 2025. You'd need a microscope to see any difference.

Has anybody started a public campaign to call Vance's office to demand his invocation of the 25th? This seems like the time to get this started in earnest. Vance is insidious, but he's not insane. We need a sane person in charge, stat.

His referring to himself in the third person seems new

Our stories so far have focused on the activists fighting mass deportation. In the coming days, we will share more stories from migrants in their own words. This was not easy. There are language barriers and people have deep fears about coming forward. However, it was very important to include.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

For the past few months, I have been looking at what President Trump's mass deportation agenda really looks like on the ground in NYC for a TPM series. We're about halfway through it and I'd like to show you what we've done so far. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/life...

Heartbroken about Rob Reiner. Times are hard enough without stories like this

Charlie Kirk was a useful idiot for foreign interests working to destabilize the United States. Change my mind.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Black voters know a conman when they see one" which is why Black voters voted for Kamala Harris. Black women the number one highest vote for Harris with Black men being the second. Trump is such a fraud and liar!!) 92% Black woman 81% Black men.

Every day that Donald Trump remains in office is a testament to the cowardice and malfeasance of Congressional Republicans. Every day, Trump embarrasses the United States and demonstrates his inability to discharge the duties of his office. Every day, enemies of the United States take advantage.

And when the world reciprocates, how do we ever get out?

"From Camelot to Scam-a-Lot: The Fall of the American Republic 1963-2025" I name it, you write it

I'm starting to question the wisdom of electing the American capo of the International Crimino-fascist conspiracy President

What's the remedy when the Supreme Court rules against the plain language of the Constitution? Impeachment and removal, right? Democrats should commit to impeaching the corrupt six if they try to overturn the 14th Amendment

Long live the ACC

Thinking of changing my name to The Artist Formerly Known As Prince

Our nextdoor neighbors are throwing a huge party with live outdoor music and it's the best thing ever

If that wasn't pass interference I'll eat... something I probably shouldn't. I'm old, so that could be just about anything

We need a national conversation about the easy availability of firearms and the effect that has had on Republican politics, where the base now rules by death threat

the thing is that blowing up drug boats is just murder. no law licenses it. it is just war crimes. but to say out loud what the penalty for committing them is puts us in the position of accusing high government officials of capital crimes. it is critically important to be able to say the obvious.

I give up

If you don't believe that everyone has the right to express themselves and their identities as they see fit, then you forfeit that right for yourself or be damned as a hypocrite. The social conservative hangups about sex need treatment in therapy, not a place in the public discourse.

How long until Trump turns his back on Whiskey Pete? Don't need a number, just your appropriate unit of measure. I'm going with days

As a matter of realpolitik, there is no path forward for any impeachment resolution sponsored by Democrats. But it sounds like there are Republicans who want him gone. What they lead can succeed. So it makes sense, for the moment, to wait.

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up. If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer. If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

When Pam Bondi pretends to uphold the law and take down criminals, I remember that she took an illegal $25K bribe from the now orange convicted felon back when she was Florida’s corrupt AG to help him cover up the fraud he committed with his fake university. She’s a criminal’s criminal.

Why have Democrats never -- and I do mean never -- attacked Fox News over its foreign ownership? Fox News is not an interested party in American politics, save for whatever money they can drag out of the country into their pockets. Their ownership doesn't have to live in the country they tear apart

Joe Biden was always the Senator from MBNA, and Hillary Clinton threw away her reputation when she backed the invasion of Iraq. I like Claire but her memories of these two seem to be very foggy.

There has never been a more opportune time to be an enemy of the United States
