DR MARIO: you have a tumor ME: i have two more what

Happy Mario day!

I confess "Cato Institute allies" did not seem realistic a decade ago, but here we are

“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

NEW: An events company whose associates helped plan the Jan. 6th insurrection have raked in millions in contracts with the U.S. government since Trump's election. The firm had previously netted only $50,000 in government contracts over the past decade.

Notice that both the mainstream press (owned by oligarchs) and most of the tech press (which passes every idiotic whim of "founder disruption" uncritically as acts of genius) have said nothing about this and it's 4 days old.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh. He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.

the best part is she really thinks she did something here

He slaughtered dozens of their children, then accused them of slaughtering their own children, then admitted that, hey, he was just popping off, who knows really.

I know nothing matters any more but here's the president admitting that he accused Iran of bombing a school full of their own children based on absolutely nothing.

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

It's bad the president is completely clueless, but even worse that he's being influenced by his failson-in-law who doesn't actually hold a government role at all. Is he getting tips from cabbies, like Tom Friedman, too?

He doesn't remember saying it.

So important to ask questions like this 👇

From dick-thickening ski jumpers to hump-plumping camels, hyaluronic acid does it all!

Trump can just openly say “I am doing this to bring in a one party state for 50 years” and commentators will hem and haw about the intricacies of carrying off a talking filibuster

Normally when someone is this deluded, you'd ask them to name the president to see how far they're really gone

She literally had her passport with her at the airport and still got detained. AND THEN ICE lied to her family about where she was even though her phone location was being shared. abc7chicago.com/post/sunny-n...

This is a lovely idea

it is genuinely very funny how many big name/shop analysts have gone on tv in the last 24-48hr and been like "man we didn't think this administration would be so stupid" like, come on

Out of approximately 4,000 yearly truck accidents, only 17 were caused by non-US citizens. A new nonsensical Trump rule barring legal immigrants from getting commercial drivers licenses is based on nothing but prejudice. We are asking the court to strike down this illegal & discriminatory rule.

Now we know why Hegseth was wearing brown shoes with a black suit.

Wow, just wow. And this ignoramus is exactly why DEI exists in the first place, so entitled white guys with shit for brains don't automatically fail upwards.

“We’re going to be insider trading very strongly, folks. Insider trading like you wouldn’t believe.”

I remind you all that last May the NTSB Vice Chair, Alvin Brown, was also fired by the administration with no explanation. No one has been talking about what happened to Brown. Now, Inman is fired. apnews.com/article/nati...

"To show I am not in the mob anymore and will NEVER do any dirty political tricks, I will run to be a member of the United States Congress," is not a thing.

It’s even worse than that, because the administration’s policies have radically contracted admissions to PhD programs. Not only have they gotten rid of PhDs, they’ve bombed the pipeline of folks who might one day replace them. It’s scientific infrastructure terrorism.

It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...

okay but what about this thoughtful, persuasive response from our decaying president (WTI crude oil is currently at $114.71, double what it was at the beginning of 2026)

NTSB is the last exemplar of independent professionalism in federal government, because we used to think stopping plane crashes was a goal beyond partisanship

He heard there were “micro fish” and got excited. He didn’t quite understand but it was impressive to even get close being a raccoon.

I know assigning forethought to any of this is dumb but it really is wild to be like "we're starting a chaotic regional war exactly where all the oil is" and then be like "uh shit, right, gas prices, um, well,,"

This raises the obvious question of what kind of thing the Trump admin might need the National Transportation Safety Board to do that a conscientious Board member would reject.

Grift upon grift upon grift

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

folks, the Wall Street Journal is not the NYT, it is a paper for people who want a headline like "New Dictator Installed, Stock Market Up." they do not mess around if they're getting worried, there's reason to be worried

nothing warms my insides as much as seeing crying maga people on tiktok complaining that other countries aren’t being nice to them when they won’t tell who they voted for when out of the US. i have never once been uncomfortable telling someone who I voted for. funny how that works.

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.

Nothing but respect for *my* international woman.

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes. (1/3)

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

when the internet was new, random Limewire users were sued for 6-7 figures over downloading individual songs today, if you're an AI company, i guess you can just steal entire people's identities with no repercussions

🚨“For the first time in Arizona, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are using a Cold War-era law to ticket legal immigrants for minor offenses like not carrying their immigration documents, a break from the agency’s longstanding focus on people in the country illegally.”🚨
