40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

The more we learn about Zohran Mamdani's upbringing, the clearer it becomes that he owes everything to his connected, well-to-do parents. by A.G. Sulzberger, Andrew Cuomo, Bill Ackman, and Donald Trump, Jr.

it's true and they should say it but it's a real bad sign it's winding up in print

"A team of independent forensic analysts examined their testimony. The experts called it consistent and credible, saying most of the acts described met the United Nations’ definition of torture." In our name, with our tax dollars. Trump II is an indelible stain on our national honor.

So he’ll know how to reach out to Christian conservatives is what you’re saying?

Many people are, in fact, saying this

Even Pravda at the height of the USSR wasn’t this groveling and obsequious

Just a pathetic, needy, egomaniacal cult leader

He’s a lumberjack and he’s not okay…

Kathleen Graham & Ben Bradlee are spinning in their graves

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

Of course, their job is actually to defend the Constitution and uphold the rule of law, which might explain why they’re taking an unprecedented number of Ls

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspaper. The actual existing Democrats gained two seats in the House in 2024, & they would have won control were it not for the late, illegal GA/NC gerrymandering.

Tell me again why it was so wrong for Hillary Clinton to call these people deplorable?

Republicans: We are the party of free speech, and religious freedom. We will protect the rights of oppressed Christians everywhere! Also Republicans:

Given Bezos’s newfound love for fascism, the comparison with Franco might be understood as a compliment

It’s basically just The Washington Times now

Christian white nationalism is a powerful drug

Look, it will be a tough pill for many to swallow, but for the good of the country Democrats must work in a spirit of bipartisanship to advance the president’s policy priorities of making private insurance illegal and eliminating the filibuster.

Racism & misogyny are extremely powerful and addictive drugs

A decade and this is the “concept of a plan” he comes up with? Joe Biden could be comatose and he’d still be a massive improvement over this

Haven’t Washington football fans suffered enough?

Putin’s investment continues to pay massive dividends

Sorry. Best we can do is a wastewater treatment plant

"There are times when legal ethics is indeed murky and rife with pitfalls and complexities, but this isn’t one of them. This is one of the more straightforward instances of unethical conduct that I’ve seen in the Trump Administration’s first six months."

We need to normalize thinking about large-scale prosecutions of this admin as inevitable. Cabinet members on down to ICE stormtroopers are going to face justice for their rampage of criminality. And the public needs to know details of what happened. The murders, the bribes and embezzlement.

Ah, lovely: a Kava-napping.

“It is the duty of the poor to support & sustain the rich in their power & idleness. In doing so, they have to work before the laws' majestic equality, which forbids rich & poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets & steal loaves of bread” - The Supreme Court of the USA

It would help if the Supreme Court would stop acting like it’s a 7 Eleven

/2 1. Real human beings will suffer from even a brief stay. 2. The government's position is transparently dishonest and in bad faith. 3. The Supreme Court has lost any benefit of the doubt. They have lost the mandate of the heaven that is the rule of law.

Exactly how it works when playing Conservative Judicial Calvinball

The President should have complete freedom to decide which Americans live or die, as the Founders intended. - Alito, Thomas, & Kavanaugh concurring

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Question Presented: Can the President illegally withhold mandatory Congressional appropriations from States because he thinks it's politically advantageous to starve people? The answer is plainly "no" but there are several guaranteed "yes" votes on SCOTUS, potentially even a majority.

And the sad part is that the Conservative majority will almost certainly let him

From the outside US evangelicalism is a very puzzling religious group because ostensibly they are very concerned with the moral teachings of a publicly accessible text but also they seem to have inferred completely the opposite lessons from that text than what everyone else thinks is the plain read.

Bringing back monarchy and taxation without representation just in time for the 250th

A reminder that white folks in Alabama could have voted for the guy who courageously took on the Klan & helped bring them to justice for torching a church & killing kids but in their inestimable wisdom decided that this guy would be a better US Senator Because merit or something
