Do I believe doctors, scientists, and decades of research or believe a walking cadaver and his leather goblin sidekick?

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still in Virginia and Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk are still free.

Giving Trump the at-the-time experimental monoclonal antibodies during his first COVID bout was, in hindsight, a terrible business decision by Big Pharma.

at some point we are going to discover where the shakedown money Trump is taking for his various "deals" is going and it is not going to be what anyone would understand as being "the United States government"

So is it one big organization that everyone's part of now? Is that how that works?

so much of what this administration is doing is based on creating the perception that he is inevitable and unstoppable and it’s not true and he can lose and it’s important that people see that because the only way he does win is if everyone gives up

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

they got Dedra and Syril in real life

"kristi noem and corey lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together" absolutely cursed sentence

fuck man, he actually gets it

everyone be quiet, this rapist has reproductive health advice for us

can you imagine how mad gina carano is right now

(if you cancelled prior to the Kimmel situation, this logic is absolutely correct. if you only cancelled since last Thursday, not re-subscribing actually reduces the power of your cancellation to begin with. do whatever you want but just know the implications of the actions you're taking!)

Trump -11 on immigration now despite every single enlightened centrist intellectual saying Dems should not talk about it because surely public opinion can’t ever change!!

Taking more tylenol so my kid is good at math

Taking more Tylenol so my kid enjoys trains

I hope that when RFK Jr dies someday, someone has been hired and trained to capture whatever crawls out of the body, so that it doesn't find a new host

Kenvue (and probably Johnson & Johnson, somehow, even tho it spun off) should probably paradrop a C-130 worth of biglaw attorneys into every federal court it can to sue over this, like this is "we cease to exist as an industry if this goes unchallenged" territory

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

"The Regime will find you if you put your name on a list" motherfucker they couldn't even sack Jimmy Kimmel

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

!!! *DISNEY SAYS JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE SHOW TO RETURN ON TUESDAY

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

Ngl this goes hard

regrettably have to report the Italians are being cool

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.

There are a lot of depressing people in my little corner of the Catholic universe, but an old prof of mine from my extremely rightwing Catholic alma mater is out there, Never Trump banner in hand, asking better of bishops, getting yelled at by all his friends on social media, and I love him for it.

This is what I’m saying, they have gotten *way* out over their skis on this, and in an area where people have a broad, direct, and easy way to make their disapproval immediately known.

It's another way to police pregnant bodies and it's medically inaccurate, unnecessary, and fucking cruel

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

I’m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral

⚡️ZOHRAN PULLS OUT OF ABC TOWN HALL IN SUPPORT OF KIMMEL: “The message it sends Americans is the first amendment is no longer a right that can be counted on… we cannot normalize these kinds of acts nor offenses.” www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

would subscribe to a weekly "Jamelle Bouie giving the intellectual equivalent of HEY REF I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL speech" service ngl

Mamdani made the comments at Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt Island...picked the location to evoke President Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union address, in which he listed freedom of speech and expression as one of the fundamental “Four Freedoms” of American democracy.

do we think it's good that entire economy is based on the same entities passing money back and forth on speculative investment without anyone making anything that someone outside the loop is buying

Zohran already understands his role and his clout. WABC needs the guy who's going to be next mayor more than he needs them. Jeffries needs him more than he needs Jeffries.

a Dem that would walk away from free airtime over principle? a Dem who wouldn't give us a "it's better for me to be there and try to convince people" excuse rather than standing up for something?

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

Glad to see Cassian Andor himself (Diego Luna) and Tony Gilroy in the list. And many actors and filmmakers I like, in addition to people who are always committed for justice and fairness (George Takei, Pedro Pascal).

YES. FUCKING FINALLY

Thats right 😤

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

If a man shoots a Democratic congresswoman, he’s a mentally disturbed individual. If a man shoots a Republican congressman, it’s because Bernie Sanders brainwashed him and turned him into a sleeper agent who is activated by the phrase “tax cut.”

Seriously how hard is it to say “This is an outrageous attack on our friends and neighbours who are in this country legally and have followed all the rules to get settled status, who are valued members of our communities, get to fuck frog-face”?

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.
