We are at the Midnight coup stage of trumps presidency. Only 3 more years

The /SeattleKraken have won five of their past six games! 🦑

The world’s richest man is an explicit white supremacist whose personal LLM publicly produces and distributes CSAM based on real people. He has also built a compound to hold the dozens of children he has had with nearly as many women. This man has a TS clearance.

Classic holiday news dump of testimony that makes it clear Trump is a criminal traitor

Democracies cannot function like this. The President is a public servant of the people, not a diety who doles out government services based on perceived personal slights.

On Jack Smith deposition, now released: 100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning. Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print. What Smith says is far more incriminating.

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Christopher Caldwell is a regular contributor to the @nytimes.com by the way, if you want to get a sense of what opinions the intelligentsia think are respectable and intriguing and which they think are beyond the pale.

It's a good commentary on 2025 that the US President announces a major military attack on a foreign country and even the straightest arrows think, 50% chance it's an attack, 50% chance president is on another cognition bender.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

True, media should frame this honestly when bad actors are involved.

lol big if true and it’s definitely true DOGE canceled that

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Ya'll the footnotes. I have never seen anything like this.

Governor Bob Ferguson endorses millionaires’ tax on high earners, unveils austerity-centric supplemental operating budget The proposed operating budget, presented ahead of the 2026 legislative session that's slated to begin on January 12th, would make $797 million in cuts, recover $391 million for…

BREAKING: I support a Millionaires’ Tax on income over $1 million a year. The fairness of our tax system ranks 50th. Let’s make this historic change this session. This is a separate proposal from the budget I announced today — revenue would not be realized until 2029.

Worth adding here that SpaceX is almost entirely funded by government contracts and subsidies, and so this really amounts to embezzling taxpayer funds to cover up the losses from his stupid idiot boxes.

every day we draw closer to this becoming reality

Oof

Search your camera roll for "hell"

can a deranged president and an administration staffed top to bottom with the most incompetent idiots every to take power get public support for a war without putting the slightest effort into swaying public opinion? I guess we will all find out together!

constantly bewildered by the number of ostensibly intelligent people on this website who can watch a republican look directly into the camera and say “i am doing this bad thing because this bad outcome is the outcome i want, and i will not be moved by the consequences” and look at congressional dems

why would immigrants do this www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Too many oopsies recently for them to all be bad luck. Thanks for making even our police worse Trump.

As always the NYT nailed it with their puff piece last year

A previous AmericaFests, I’ve seen a local militia that was sued under the KKK Act as a sponsor, basically every anti-LGBTQ hate group in the US, and last year their Israel365 sponsor handed out material saying that Palestinians don’t exist. This is the kind of event Meta and TikTok is sponsoring.

That Charis Bible College sponsor underneath Meta is ran by a pastor who publicly supported the “Kill the Gay” bill.

Another first with the Meta sponsor just added to the Turning Point USA mega conference

The flooding in the Snoqualmie River Valley is absolutely jaw-dropping. Here's a bird's eye view captured yesterday by NPI's ED, who flew a drone over a section of the valley in between Carnation and Duvall. You can see the floodwaters reach across the valley almost from edge to edge! #wawx
