The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war. Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Lieu: How scared are Republicans of talking about the Epstein files? They would rather talk about the criminality of Donald Trump in trying to steal the election and stealing classified documents than about Trump's associations with Epstein

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

“If they’ll murder a U.S. citizen in broad daylight in front of dozens of people filming it — and still lie about it — imagine what they’re doing to immigrants when no one is watching. Imagine wtf is in those Epstein files.” bsky.app/profile/acyn... bsky.app/profile/flip... bsky.app/profile/uncl...

Alabama wants to lower the bar for executing disabled people—if SCOTUS lets it

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free. Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

Could you please clarify to your followers that what I actually said was: "In some respects this government under Keir Starmer looks more Tory than the Tories". I had just spelt out exactly which respects I meant: its anti-protest laws and the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Thank you.

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

Thunberg said, “If Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors.”

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Occam's Razor always rules. Always.

Right now, I’m reflecting upon whether, given how the world might look in 30, 20 or even 10 years, whether that extra decade is even worth passing on fries, ketchup and mayo. #longevity -vs- #philosophy

A photo of the California #Nebula I took from my driveway… if you dropped the Earth into this scene, it wouldn’t even be the teeny tiniest speck… #astronomy #astrophotography #perspective

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

The term Antifa is a shortening of antifascism. It's NOT a formal organization. It's a belief. A really good one. The stupidity of trying to declare it a "terrorist organization" is just ludicrous. It would be like doing the same thing with the word democracy. What the hell is so hard about this?!

Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

“Maybe I met him on some boys’ trip? I feel like I’ve seen his penis before. Have we ever gone swimming at the same time? You have a mole right here under your rib cage, right?” said Trump

Add to the weapons-grade cringe her use of "P word", to avoid having to write Epstein's side-hustle in full. “As you know, I did not, absolutely not, say the ‘P word’ [paedophile] about you but understand it was reported that I did.” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Actually, when only 97% of the stories about a person who is 100% bad are bad, it means someone is the media isn’t doing their job.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Campaign group Everyone Hates Elon have installed a spoof tribute to Jeffrey Epstein from Donald Trump on a bench at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, Scotland. It comes after US lawmakers published an Epstein 'birthday book' with an alleged note from Trump.

The White House landscape now matches our national political one.

“So to the Biden and Trump administrations, to Democrats and Republicans in Congress, to the US media, I say this: history will judge you. For non-stop complicity in a genocide; aiding and abetting the crime of crimes.” My latest op-ed for the Guardian:

Molly Ivins's quote about Dan Quayle applies equally well to Trump: “If you put that man’s brain in a bumblebee, it would fly backwards.”

This clip...I have no words. Gaza Humanitarian Fund whistleblower Anthony Aguilar describes ordering pizzas for their site while Palestinians starve.

🚨🚨🚨 Jeffrey Epstein during a 2010 deposition: Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? A: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.

lol

Hugely significant that Court agreed foreign interference is a threat to our right to free & fair elections & there’ll be cases when states must investigate. Tho disappointing they found UK has done enough - our democracy still isn’t safe ⁦‪⁦‪ @the-citizens.bsky.social @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

A wildlife photographer joked that his wife managed to capture an extraordinary photo that outdid him: a European eagle owl, one of the world's largest, perched on his camera lens.

not to be the flyspeck nyt copy as if it's the most important thing guy, but seriously wtf is this?

This is equally sad and funny!!

George has been catty since the year . Great to see he’s not lost it. Forty years ago, he was the first man ever to appear on the cover of Cosmopolitan, when gender-bending raised eyebrows and not blood pressure, and “real women” meant something else entirely.
