The next insurrection attempt will be far more lethal.

Tesla is trading at $488/share. IRobot was trading at $125/share 5 years ago. The lesson here is to never actually make the robot product that you'll have to sell. Just talk about it a lot.

One thing I'm increasingly struck by is how often this administration flexes when it's doing something deeply unpopular.

Not only is the head of US intel aping Russian propaganda, it doesn’t make a lick of sense. NATO/EU want to pull the US into direct war with Russia?!? The US is in NATO. The Russia-Ukraine war has been going for nearly 4 years. NATO could’ve gone to war but didn’t. If anything, been quite cautious.

Trump seems particularly invested in getting her out before the midterms.

I don't know if throwing fights is gay, but it's for sure illegal.

Where all the anti-Harris lefties at?

Lol

I am hearing that “working out” rather than “creating content” is a better strategy for winning prizefights.

So now that Heritage is experiencing a mass exodus, over concerns about the fascism, can we call them fascist, or still no?

Patel running the FBI has been just awful for the country, but I kind of admire the big baller energy coming from a guy who knows he's absolutely peaked and is milking every last perk regardless of the optics.

Jim Beam, America’s largest bourbon distiller, is closing its flagship facility for 2026 after more than two decades of rapid growth. The move underlines the immense challenges facing the country's whiskey industry.

This legitimately reads as if it was written by the Kremlin.

JFC, can't this man take a week off around the holidays where he's not profoundly embarrassing.

100% true for legal work

Moyn in 2017: Trump isn't a threat to constitutional democracy. The courts will stop him. Liberals, and their "Tyrannophobia," are the real problem. Moyn in 2025: The Court is illegitimate and must be destroyed. Liberals, and their unwillingness to see this, are the real problem.

Now I kind of hope that Paramount wins.

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.

It's important to note that the polling on supporting Ukraine has increased even among Republican voters. JD supports RU because JD supports RU. This is a loser as a campaign issue.

Our publication, @theunpopulist.net, published the definitive piece on the journalistic shortcomings of Weiss' Free Press project.

"A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen and threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil." - President of Colombia Gustavo Petro.

In which she confirms the newsroom's critique: She's handed the WH an editorial veto that they may exercise by simply declining to cooperate. Anyone who believes she will do this with a D administration is a fool.

I can't get over how insanely overpriced WBD is. The good will line on the balance sheet required to make the numbers work is going to be a fiction of GOT proportions.

The US blockade of Venezuela is having the unintended effect of improving the effectiveness of economic sanctions against Russia. This will hinder Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. Trump will thus likely ease the blockade. euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/21/f...

/1. Overnight, Russia’s Port of Taman on the Black Sea was hit by a drone attack, causing fires and damage to port infrastructure. According to Russians: "UAV debris" damaged a pipeline at one of the terminals, triggering a fire. Additionally, two piers and two vessels were damaged.

at least in the old days reporters killed a story because jimmy hoffa sent a set of nuts in a jar and said kill the story, now it’s just plastic surgery silicon valley guys being sad and owning the network

So what context was lacking? Which *critical* voices were missing?

I suspect that: (1) They don't have a political partner for subtlety and nuance; and (2) they've acquired power by eschewing those concepts.

Great, now I can’t trust everything I read in The Free Press?

Yeah, the latter is the silver lining.

hey, just want to circle back on this, you utter joke of a pundit

Why does Weiss, specifically, deserve the benefit of the doubt? Also, what doubt, specifically, is Jonah claiming actually exists here?

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

Given CBS’s ownership and the Trump regime’s censorious nature, that segment must have been rigorously reported, carefully written and edited and reviewed at a dozen different levels. Then it was heavily promoted before being killed a couple of hours before it aired. These people are so clumsy.

JD's going to get like 35% of the popular vote if he's the nominee.

Fox News (!!) poll showing Climate Change is a top 10 concern for voters — slightly more than illegal immigration. www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

I think a good New Year's resolution for Bluesky would be to fully process what it means for Democrats to be the minority party in both the House and Senate. We're coming up on a full year of it folks.

Amazing that Putin never bears any responsibility (despite all the launching an invasion, kidnapping kids, and bombing civilians stuff).

Yeah, they'll hold it together until the midterms (or at least the primaries before the midterms), but if it's as bad as it looks for the GOP, things will get very fractured very fast.

Homeland's last two seasons were not good.

Also, the Constitution already allows Congress to issue letters of marque, but then Congress would be responsible for deciding who, specifically, would be targeted.

I don't think Rubio has processed how unelectable he's going to be after this.

No future administration should feel bound by whatever putative agreements arise from this.

What could go wrong? www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

Guys, there's a Pop-Tarts Bowl.

Seems like this should be a bigger story.

The word is *subordinate* not *secure.* If you're going to advocate for this, be honest about what you're advocating.
