I'm fine with this response to Budget Goebbels Stephen Miller. Pearl clutchers should go live inside a cave and write an essay about civility.

Fuck this demented bigot and fuck everyone who supports or apologizes for him

Anyway a federal judge fucks a cop repeatedly in chambers so law clerks have to hear it, yells at the law clerks, lies to the Chief Judge about it, and escapes public or meaningful consequences, you’ll forgive my skepticism about the rIgors of the judiciary self-policing.

This reminded me of this old one

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

i love her make her president

this country is mortifying.

A masked man in an armored vehicle, dressed as if he is in the middle of a war zone, training a weapon on unarmed protestors. This is simply incompatible with democratic expression.

On this day in 2007, the Fair Minimum Wage Act was signed into law, raising the federal minimum wage to $7.25 an hour. A child born that year is now old enough to drive in 2026. The minimum wage is *still* $7.25. It's long past time to increase it.

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Only Donald Trump has what it takes to bring triumph to a nation and humiliating defeat to its enemies. Unfortunately that nation is Iran

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the U.S., or any of them.” [i.e. state govs]

Repost with the Russian agent who spies on your posts.

All the centrist/conservative Democrats who wanted to allow Abrego Garcia and everyone else Trump sent to CECOT to rot in a slave camp should be embarrassed with themselves and think deeply before saying anything about anything.

I like this site and I think people who have a really hard time here are kind of babies. Sometimes I get yelled at on here and some of those times people don’t have a point, but who cares? If anything, I should evangelize for this site more as the last place on the internet I still learn stuff.

I mean it sure looks like we wasted billions and many lives and lots of diplomatic credibility for nothing, but at least we can be sure those 160 schoolgirls won’t build a nuke

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

It isn't even a pivot. They've been doing this from day one.

A big reason for governmental clemency is when the person shows true regret over what they did. Tina Peters is a dyed-in-the-wool conspiracy chucklehead, and will use Polis's act to further the far-right cause. Just a clown show all around.

Today's Daily Cartoon for @newyorker.com by Kevin Maher and me.

Prosecutorial misconduct is nearly the norm, it almost always goes undetected and un-investigated because most defendants lack the money to expose it. I believe the presumption of regularity has never been warranted, and I think they're all a bit crooked, and that's what makes the system "work".

Excellent headline. No notes.

Go fuck yourself @gluesenkampperez.house.gov

/26 But I digress. This gets worse and worse. And even when we get a different administration, DoJ will be permanently crippled by this. You can’t get that trust back. There need to be severe consequences. Personally I think a lot of this is less truth-and-reconciliation and more pock-marked wall.

/22 Heads should roll. Careers should end. If DoJ won’t do it, the legal community should do it for them. This is appalling and unacceptable behavior throughout, at all levels of this office. The lower attorneys committed misconduct. Boutros was complicit in hiding it from the court.

I keep coming back to the words of Judge Perry in today's hearing: "I put even more reliance on Department of Justice attorneys. Your sole goal is to do justice. Your client is justice itself." .

The $1,000,000 Delta Air Lines donated to Donald Trump’s 2025 presidential inaugural fund is really paying off, isn’t it? Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Seattle are all Delta hubs—and sanctuary cities. Well done, Delta!

KAT WON. FUCK ICE.

every single democrat in the senate voted to confirm marco rubio as secretary of state. every single one.

At this point, it's less about disciplining Polis. He's made his decision and has chartered his course. But Colorado Democrats need to remove him from office if only to put fear of God in any other Democrats thinking of following in his footsteps.

"Bravo, first responders are en route. Prep a double-tap." "Sir, it'd be my honor."

Cold open on a 360 slomo shot of an airmen proudly blowing up a girl's school.

Interesting that the Trump administration is laying down a marker that a military attack on an unarmed craft can be the basis for prosecuting senior government officials who supervised the attack in home countries of the vehicles' occupants.

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris. With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

Republican voters in Kentucky who presumably spent much of 2024 banging on about Epstein just ejected from Congress their own Republican congressman, who helped get the Epstein files out, in order to please the close friend of Epstein, Donald Trump.

Ask yourself: Why would a settlement over leaked tax filings include a prohibition on examinations of previously filed returns? One answer, which lots of people are missing: For years, Trump has been fighting an IRS audit that could have resulted in a $100M bill. No longer, apparently.

Tells you who Republican voters are though. Not people I will ever feel sympathy for.

Every GOP primary story is like “syphilis loses to pancreatic cancer”

Every citizen of Minneapolis, please step up 💥

Jared Polis should resign today and never return to politics.

We are still a long way from a second civil war or breakup of our country. But, if it did happen, I think a breakdown in Full Faith and Credit and fights over long-arm statutes could be triggers. A nation of many sovereigns can't survive if they don't respect the laws of the others.

Pleasantly surprised by this Chuck Schumer quote on Trump's new $1.8 billion slush fund: "Trump pardoned violent insurrectionists who assaulted your Capitol to overturn your votes and now he wants to give them your hard-earned tax dollars as a reward."

It’s bullshit for the Washington Post to call this looting of the Treasury a “deal“ and an “agreement.” The Trump regime is self-dealing to create an agreement between Trump and Trump, with no judge allowed to weigh in. It’s a dictator stealing from the people.

When a regime clearly holds the rule of law in contempt, and views itself as completely above the law, it and its agents don’t have any moral argument for the protections of the rule of law.

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society," Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first" Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates". Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media. None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty.
