I have been saying for years that Democrats should run against Republicans on the issue of corruption. Make fighting corruption the centerpiece of their hopefully populist campaigns. Well, if they don’t run on corruption this year, against Trump, then they deserve to lose.

It feels weird that none of the people paid large sums of money to think about this stuff seem to have identified this fundamental problem

Insider reporting from an unnamed Sacramento Kings official says the work to build a championship team is “95% done.” The remaining 5% of work is focused on acquiring superstar players who fit together and hiring an elite coach.

If anything turns me into the Joker it will be how the power button for phones ant tablets is no longer a power button but rather a "Hey, maybe you'd like to try AI now, even though you've shown no previous interest" button, and you have to press power plus something else to turn the damn thing off.

I gotta say, I think maybe it’s time for us to be concerned about these time travelers who keep getting killed around the White House

"who was president from March 2020-January 20, 2021?" is one of the most fiercely contested questions in American politics

As the most litigious person in the country, Trump hasn’t sued anyone who’s openly and publicly stated that he’s raped children. There’s a clear reason for that.

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

Putting this in the Little Free Library in no small part to get it out of my house and keep the people I care about from accidentally reading it. Also I want to see if it magically disappears in the next five minutes. (CC @kathleenmrooney.bsky.social and @martinseay.bsky.social)

congrats to jared polis for getting played like a chump

When I was a conservative kid I remember outraged reading stories about criminals trying to sue the government (because of being injured in an arrest, or whatever) and make money from their crimes. Looks like conservatives are OK with this sort of thing now. (H/T @schooley.bsky.social)

It used to amaze me when Trumpists got worked up about things that actually happened in 2020 but hey, even Donald Trump forgets who was president at certain points of Donald Trump's presidency.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Everybody thinks when he's rich he'll be a different kind of rich person from the rich people he sees around him; later on he finds out there's only one kind of rich person, and he's it. —Thornton Wilder, The Matchmaker

I love this song so damn much

The fact that four high-ranking women in this administration have already been dispatched is perhaps an argument that Donald Trump has a deep misogynistic streak. On the other hand, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Tulsi Gabbard are all utter shitpieces, confounding that argument.

Farewell, Tulsi Gabbard. You didn't stop any regime change wars, but at least you pretended you would.

Fantastic fricking news. This is actually a solid couple of days, news-wise. Let's enjoy it, folks.

NGL I would frame these if I were Kat.

it’s timeeeeeee! time for what? for your quarterly reminder that when we are angry we take a breath. drink a glass of water. talk to our therapists and friends. and we don’t do what? post anything that could be read, in any way, even ungraciously, as a threat of violence. that’s right.

One thing I definitely learned in J-school...writing headlines can be 10,000x more fun than writing the story.

“America has always been like this” responses to “Orange Man Bad” posts annoy me. Obama didn’t post a video of him dumping his own fecal matter from a F-18 on his critics, then threaten to go to war with Denmark. That isn’t true.

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

There’s a rogue “O” in the book title

a thing I occasionally keep in mind is that the own-party dam broke on Nixon in August of a midterm year

Scenario: I see a missed call from my daughter What I think it means: She is running from a crazed madman who followed her home from school What it really means: She's playing music through her phone in the car, and my wife is driving, and she wants to know if I want pizza #catastophizemuch?

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get? LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.

When a woman says 5 minutes, think like 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter and both teams have all of their timeouts.

Tonight is the last show for Stephen Colbert. Let's all watch to give him the biggest ratings ever. CBS will die tonight after his final show. You know what to do.

there's clearly a massive scandal in these GJ transcripts. And the public deserves to know what it is.

The destruction of Palestine absolutely had an effect on the 2024 election. People just chose wrong. They were convinced that what they were doing was going to help and they actually made things worse.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

Let's see how it goes

You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

Absolutely heartbreaking story.

FACTS are their Worst Enemy.

Massie & any of the other Republicans who will still be in Congress for 7 months after Trump defeated them now have no reason to vote for anything Trump wants. This could be good. 😁
