I would love it if the country would wake up to the fact that America’s billionaires are almost universally sniveling cowards who won’t actually do anything about anything.

The administration won’t need to kill American journalism when so many of the latter’s ranks are intent on its suicide.

You can doubt the postcard's validity all you want, that's fine, I'll entertain some level of speculation, but if you tell me we simply can't take for granted that Trump is really into underage girls I'm mocking you relentlessly.

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of pieces of circumstantial evidence that suggest the President likes young women, including from his own mouth, and his own daughter’s. This evidence spans decades. We know he’s a sex abuser. We know he was best pals with Epstein. Is this really that complex?

I will quit my job and work for any candidate who promises to put the leadership of this administration in the same overseas gulag they've been shipping people to

I think language needs to be even stronger than this. They ought to say “if you work at the DOJ or FBI and your hands are on this, hire a lawyer because you’re absolutely fucked.”

However stupid and incompetent you think these people are, double it. There’s been no plan here since the beginning - they are just trying to last another day at all times.

Genuinely think DOJ/Bondi are circling the drain. These are not master strategists or crisis managers - they’re constantly just trying to make it to tomorrow and are fucking up at every step. Eventually, the runway is going to run out, and I think it’s coming pretty soon.

Yeah he’s gone. Watching this live, he’s just completely, utterly gone.

I just can’t imagine living in a world these billionaire brains want to create. A race to soulless efficiency.

Seen some people disappointed that these aren’t more explosive. But I’d suggest that these people openly socializing with an already convicted child rapist is *in itself* explosive.

The most Red Scared party in human history elected a Politburo.

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

Jimmy Fallon is everything wrong with American society and everything that led us here. A man who can’t see past the end of his own nose and worse, has no desire to.

My dearest-held belief about movie theaters is that they should have regular showings and silent showings. I avoid the theater because I’ve had too many experiences ruined by rude people who prove themselves unable to adhere to the most basic of social contracts.

This, but I’d add slightly. It’s not just eliminating friction, it’s that almost everything you hear is pure sycophancy. We really can’t process what it’d be like to have everyone in your orbit adore everything you do and say, all of the time.

“Do you see?”

If you’re a Republican in Congress, you really do actually want the Epstein files released, because it’s a potential off ramp from the below that you can’t possibly be held responsible for by MAGA.

Once again, the red threat of MAGA is unselfconscious stupidity. They have no interest in interrogating what they perceive to be common sense.

Trump thinks about words as having something akin to monetary value. He layers on superlatives and garnish to get him closer to the deal, like bidding up an auction. So when he posts an exhaustive list of his policy “wins”, know that he thinks you’re going to take a LOT of persuading.

My political strategy take is that it makes perfect sense for Rs to walk hand in hand with Trump all the way to the ledge. If he’s not in there, they were loyal. If he is (he is), it’s big enough to be a clean break, and they can say “I trusted him, I’m as shocked as anyone” and throw him overboard.

Anyone who even intimates this sentiment should be cast out.

Democrats will mildly annoy you at work. Republicans will impoverish, beat, or starve you to satisfy the God of their death cult.

I’ll never understand business leaders in this moment. You bend the knee to Trump, so Dems hate you with a burning passion. So you kowtow to the right, only to backtrack when reality bites, so now they hate you too. What was accomplished? This is the fruit of cynicism.

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

I think the calling card of MAGA-thought (and to some extent, today’s republicans generally) is the inability or unwillingness to interrogate ‘common sense’. If it feels right/intuitive, they have no interest in looking deeper.

Look, I understand the journalistic importance of getting people on the record, etc. but at some point, CNN et al ought to decide whether having admin lackeys on to a) lie incessantly with little/no pushback and b) saying exactly what Trump says 100% of the time has any value whatsoever.

I never really hear Swalwell as a 2028 name, but every time I see him he’s clear, courageous, and informed. Have I missed something major with him?

A rare case (but increasingly normal under Trump) where both leaders utterly humiliate themselves and their countries in the same moment.

In my administration, Bill Kristol would chair the Department of Government Excess (DOGE), which seeks accountability for human rights abuse done in the name of the USG. Its reach will extend to ICE, DOJ, the State Dept, and wherever Nayib Bukele decides he wants to hide from swift American justice.

Notice how the media ignores standards when they immediately jump to “reported trans/antifa messages on bullets”, but becomes suddenly blind to content and context when they say “shooter was critical of Kirk’s views” without saying from which vantage point he was critical.

the permission structure created for a bloodthirsty maga rampage the last two days by mainstream media, all before any facts were known at all, deserves some real introspection by the entire industry

As grim as this story may be, there's still much to be inspired by. Look no further than this attorney for the children, who rushed to the airport to stop the planes. She stood near the tarmac, warning any officials she saw that they’d be complicit in violating a court order if the planes took off.

It’s not great if your only objection to political violence is self-interest

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”

The shooting of Charlie Kirk will have almost exclusively extremely negative consequences for American society in general, the stability of society in specific, and the safety of everyone living in it.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She was a traitor to this country. She was part of a violent mob that tried to overthrow our democracy...She didn't die protecting our country. She died trying to turn it down...She wasn't a martyr. She was and is a traitor."

I’m so tired of triangulation. For my money, it’s as simple as this: we will not fund this lawless government, and we will never afford it the benefit of the doubt on any topic. Let the chips fall where they may. End of story.

When this national humiliation is over, the elites who presided over it are going to try to return to the fold. You’ll see them at the next inauguration, and they’ll say “we did it all out of respect for the office and the hope that we could influence a bright future.” Don’t fucking let them.

The Post and Matt Viser are suggesting that 22 yrs ago someone impersonated Donald Trump in response to a request from Ghislaine Maxwell to Trump and created a fake card to embarrass him 22 yrs later when he would be President. I'm not going to dignify this nonsense with anything but laughter

What could the interpretation of this image possibly be, other than “Jeffrey Epstein grooms young girls then flies them to Mar a Lago to sexually assault them, and we all know he does so”? Seriously though, what other reading is there?

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point

You can tell Republicans are engaging in a cover up because they keep saying “we don’t need a discharge petition because the House Oversight Committee is already doing what it seeks to do.” If that’s the case, just let all your members vote on/pass it, bank the credit from the public, and carry on.

The saddest part about this problem is that it’s so easy to remedy. The press doesn’t even need to do any sort of mea culpa - just start covering this admin with teeth and ethical rigor from this day forward. And yet most of them decline to even do that.

Kamala Harris said they’d do this and the press called her a liar and a fabulist.

Tim Burchett is a total fraud. He works the media into believing that he sincerely wants transparency on Epstein, but whenever Trump is implicated we see that he only says that stuff to get booked on cable. He'll happily partake in a coverup to protect his Dear Leader.

One thing I admire about Bill Kristol is that he’s already in a headspace we all have to reach to end this: “what could they possibly do to me that’s worse than the shame of standing by as the country burns to ash?”

This country is being destroyed by apathetic journalists, cowardly politicians, activist judges, and greedy billionaires. Why? Because it’s asymmetrical upside - they think in our desperation to return to normalcy, we’ll welcome them all back after this is over. That simply cannot happen.

“Tepid legality” - you can see in these two words how they see the law as little more than an inconvenience created by woke poindexters.

On left Rubio 2016: "We write to express grave concern about the campaign of extrajudicial killings...by the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte under the guise of his so-called 'War on Drugs.'" On right Rubio 2025: Praising presidential killing of alleged drug traffickers
