JUST IN: A federal judge has thrown out DOJ’s lawsuit to compel NY to aid in immigration arrests at state courthouses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ok so yeah he's a better writer than her...ish...but holy hell I can't imagine how bad that book would have been with both of them adding to it. Also yeah that last sentence takes a major turn.

Personally, I think it's terrific that no one around the president is willing to tell him he sounds completely delusional and out of touch here. Just let him keep telling voters they're not paying what they're paying.

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten. For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

Oh they’re cooked

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:

In case you writers out there have ever felt imposter syndrome, "From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible" is an actual sentence in whatever this is.

Not gonna let big government tell ME that I can't burn my house down frying a turkey!

ofc they didn't learn anything from Iraq. The New York Times opinion pages will always be thirsty for bloodshed via endless wars.

so how's that tiktok ban coming along......... www.theverge.com/policy/82216...

Everything Alex Jones feared would come to pass has been brought to fruition by his own party. He's so partisan that he won't admit that it was Trump and his cronies who have deployed everything he claimed to oppose.

Happy to be of service.

The drink is called Stop Yelling At Us

Cuts to NIH grants have disrupted at least 383 clinical trials, with infectious disease research hit especially hard. A stark example of the real-world repercussions of Trump and co.'s health policy 🧪 my latest:

True clown-show, five-year-old lashing out here.

Jeff Bezos received a quarter of a million from his parents in 1995 to start his online bookstore idea.

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

Feels like we're at the stage where Nixon caved to the pressure and released transcripts of the Oval Office recordings, which turned out to have been heavily edited and misleading. We might be jumping ahead to the 18 1/2 minute erasure, though. But I'm not sure the 1-to-1 comparison really works?

I think the universities didn’t convey clearly enough to Larry Summers and Laurence Krauss that they were expected to get sexual harassment PREVENTION training

Not really sure how much clearer Republicans can be about not wanting international tourism, but here you go. Yes, the World Cup is here. Yes, you can pay exorbitant prices to come here and see it. But we don’t want you here and you need to get out immediately.

i was going to ask, did men online get more normal after the "literature of smell" PhD lady got hers, and the answer to that is "no, men got worse"

I cannot stress enough that there are ways to make this point without bringing up the old "dual loyalties" trope.

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I'm just going to take the other numbers off the 'Days Without Pedocon Theory Being Confirmed' board. They're never going to be used.

Trump flipped on the Epstein files last night because he knew he would face more than a hundred Republican defections. They can vote for release all they want, but Trump will say there are ongoing investigations so his tiny hands are tied.

It's literally true. Remember when Biden called in airstrikes on the Western Kansas beef processing plants?

Larry Summers (Nov. 10): The trustees need to investigate the Harvard Crimson! Harvard Crimson (Nov. 16): Mr. Summers, while we have your attention... www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

They're going to ruin tolkien and homer for us

Any journalist who has reached out to the federal government for a statement this year can attest to the unhinged responses they always get. I picked a couple of examples www.liberalcurrents.com/the-war-on-p...

Think about how much the press obsessed over Barack Obama’s “relationship” with former Weatherman Bill Ayers, a relationship that consisted of their serving on the same nonprofit board of directors for three years.

A discussion sparked by a piece whose opening argument was that Larry Summers was the tragic, rational victim of a feminized woke mob

at the very least, it was the beginning of 25 years of “because I said so” jurisprudence that has completely trashed SCOTUS’ aura of nonpartisanship, which will not be recovered in my lifetime

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE PRICE TAG, CITIZEN!

The Trump economy, as expected: "Applications are up and turnover is down for jobs with low pay and tough working conditions."

My wildest WILDEST take Is that the pandemic double scared these people They found out money couldn’t protect them the way they thought, and that they weren’t that great and it’s been the Fox and the grapes ever since

Dani Rodrik in the NYT the other day with a pretty compelling argument about making service sector jobs into good jobs www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/o...

what is he supposed to do? tinder? be reasonable, michael.

Rolled. Note that there are Mueller report-type expectations being created that the documents will almost surely not fulfill even if they are utterly damning.

This is one example of what people meant when they warned that Trump wanted to go back to a time before the civil rights act and before the fourteenth amendment.

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

a notable thing here is that Jin is about as powerful and privileged as you can be - first-tier Chinese aristocracy, basically, super-connected - and that still didn't prevent her from being harassed by Summers

I am sorry, but the first party to take up the banner of anti-corruption and accountability is going to have a hell of an easy time making its case and I honestly don't know why an opposition party isn't doing that already from every streetcorner they can.

If the parties were reversed here, we’d currently be blanketed with ads and speeches detailing all the crimes that were later committed by people who assaulted police but were pardoned by the president. Think Willie Horton, but true, and a much larger scale and, uh, not racist?

It’s sort of clarifying to see him describe this dynamic so directly www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Like it or not this technology is here to stay and if you don’t use it you’ll fall behind in your industry
