Trump and Vance are doing so much winning that Iran is now allowed to sell oil—at market price!—to America. That's right. Thanks for Donald Trump you can now pay the Iranian regime for the privilege of filling your tank. www.thebulwark.com/p/thanks-to-...

Trump's "American flag blue" reflecting pool is looking quite green. With the pool covered in algae and debris, Brendan Hartnett took a water sample and the results weren't great…

In two days’ time, we will have the biggest IPO in history. SpaceX will shatter records. It’ll be the most obscene financial orgy in a century. Like watching John D. Rockefeller and Louis XIV spitroast Caligula. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-war-of...

1) Platner is not a Nazi. 2) He’s a sonofabitch and the cult forming around him is bad. 3) There are real Nazi-types out there, who hold (or held) government power and want to get rid of every black and Hispanic person in America. www.thebulwark.com/p/nazis-real...

It's funny that Bari's minion complained about Scott Pelley being "rude" b/c one of the lessons of the last decade is that authoritarianism exploits politesse. www.thebulwark.com/p/scott-pell...

This entire thread is solid gold.

This is why people should support independent media like @thebulwark.com

This is mass political violence. “More than 10,000 times, judges have said those detentions, typically carried out with no opportunity for detainees to plead their case, were illegal. That’s roughly 90 percent of all cases — a staggering rejection of a core piece of Trump’s immigration agenda.”

Donald Trump has unveiled a golden statue of himself at his Florida golf club, raising concerns about the Obamas' uppityness.

The Republican redistricting project is about creating an Electoral College for the House of Representatives. Not great, Bob. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-civil-co...

You should check out their convo on @thebulwark.com’s YouTube. Another thing @adamserwer.bsky.social touched on was as a father (of two girls) what his answer was to young men who are increasingly getting radicalized to the right including by The Influencers, he said: he didn’t really have an…

Doctors say that a Vitamin K injection given at birth saves the lives of hundreds of newborns. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for "further study" says the injection can create mitochondrial challenges. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I can tell you a version of American history as a startup company. Let's call it by it's ticker symbol, USA. USA launched in a move-fast, break-things mode. It shipped tons of products (a central bank; territorial expansion) and attracted lots of users . . .

I don’t want to call this evil. Trying to make life harder for severely disabled people, is just a bad policy, like marginal tax rates or Section 230. Anyone who takes this eugenic stuff as a sign of anything deeper than just a bad policy is on a weird crusade. www.thebulwark.com/p/maga-has-a...

All of these cute stories about robots running sub-4 min miles during a half marathon fail to mention how terrifying it will be when these things are hunting us for sport in 2029.

revising history as it happens is the primary role of the news media

@jimswift.bsky.social sorry I didn't have a spot left for you. 😄

The real ceasefire is the friends we made along the way 🙏

DHS spox Tricia McLaughlin previously said that "Brown made a 'deliberate attempt' to run officers down. A D.C. police officer, however, testified that no LEOs were standing at Brown’s car, and Brown’s attorney told a judge that the bullets entered the car from the side, not the front."

the PE boys will have cops patrolling on bicycles armed with truncheons and a single-use pepper spray within 9 months, I can tell you that much

I get that "defund the police" may not be a viable political goal in the US, but letting private equity have their way with the police seems like a reasonable compromise

And the three exceptions, who were Afghan, had their protected status stripped by Trump.

A lovely tribute to a courageous and extraordinary life well-lived.
