Are you still a believer in Trump? Because at this point it's marginal, right?

“A noun, a verb, and national security.” #IYKYK 'National security': Trump's windmill vendetta gets new excuse from Pete Hegseth

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

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

For a man that regrew his ear it’s strange that his hand is always in recovery mode

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

R.I.P. lower cost mass-market paperback books - I, for one, will miss you. Growing up, bought a lot of mass-market at the local Kresge. Purchased a handful a year or so ago as well (mostly classics).

Think of all the fun I’ve missed.

You have to understand that the world’s largest oil reserves are in Venezuela. Not Saudi Arabia. That the war crimes and murder committed by the U.S. upon “Venezuelan drug boats” are not about drugs.

One of my all time favorite books. (A couple of books away from being re-read for the 10th time or more.) This essay will help to bring a new perspective to this masterpiece.

Shorter Dan Bongino: I WAS a whore THEN But trust me, I'm NOT a whore NOW

I don’t know when it happened, but we are no longer a functioning democracy. Might as well cancel plans for next July now. 249 and out.

I said this would be the Republican justices play. Let Texas use the racist maps now. Later they’ll say it’s “too late” to change them.

Kagan: Court “announces that Texas may run next year’s elections with a map the District Court found to have violated all our oft-repeated strictures about the use of race in districting. Today’s order,” she continued, “disrespects the work of a District Cour that did everything one could ask..."

Fascist Rhetoric

Two splendid historical moments to celebrate today: the 25th anniversary of the news of Sooty the guinea pig’s sexual excesses, and the 1,009th of Edmund ‘Ironside’ II getting done in by being stabbed up the bum while on the privy. Possibly. As you can see, we’re starting with the ‘Romeo’ rodent...
