someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

Drop a crush from your youth.

Never has so much US combat power been assembled with so little explanation to the public, allies, or Congress regarding why or how it will be used. Never.

They think punk means *acting without consent* not *acting in defiance of power*

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Because that's the Chicago way...

This is so true and I swear people try to project more shit into that guys pudding brain than anyone else I've ever written on. This is why it isn't hard to predict moves by this administration. Just imagine everything is driven by revenge/spite and you can see the next play coming twenty miles away

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

Duck smashburger from Frontier. It's good for what ails you.

I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.

Gotta say it's AMAZING watching the abridged clip on the official White House YouTube channel and then going to the full version. On the White House version he TRASHES the decision-making of the "Democrats" on the Supreme Court justices and then the clip cuts out. youtu.be/h-M8MsGzArQ?...

Aide Wearily Begins 5th Explanation Of Why Trump Can’t Pardon Prince Andrew https://theonion.com/aide-wearily-begins-5th-explanation-of-why-trump-cant-pardon-prince-andrew/

A very easy message to run on at every level of government is “MAGA politicians are stealing our money for their own desires,” because it’s true. We see it here in Huntington Beach! We see it at the state level! We see it nationally! We need to stop these assholes from stealing our money!

Also, because I haven't shared this week's drone shots...

It appears that once again I have inflicted a "This dude has ISSUES!" book on my book club.

Thanks so much — people used to get so rattled when I’d get to that part at a reading… 🫢

Potsdamer Bahnhof train station, Berlin, winter 1936, ahead of the upcoming one-party parliamentary elections. Departments of Justice and Agriculture, winter 2026, Washington D.C., ahead of the upcoming congressional elections.

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too? TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

Trump's insight that being openly corrupt makes him immune to the conventions of "political scandals" is perhaps the greatest example of his peculiar political genius.

Forgot to mention I got a HUGE DEEP cardboard papercut opening a box of Spindrift this morning. This is what "suffering for my addiction" looks like in 2026.

Just remembered I had a dream last night where the Rolling Stones were doing Red Hot Chili Peppers-style no-clothes concerts, except they weren't even wearing strategically placed socks, so I definitely saw some body parts I didn't want to see. Even Mick was like, "This isn't a good look for us."

"...writing for men's magazines as a young 22 woman is its own form of fiction..." Lovely @saralippmann.bsky.social interview. (And I'm not just saying that because she says nice things about me.)

ok but how is the opposition party supposed to win over his supporters now, have they even thought about that

Ohh! This is a good one.

this is the soundbite and we can make it stick

A Russian soldier spent about 6months in Kupiansk,Kharkiv region.After failing to receive supplies&support from his command,he decided to surrender To do so,he used the I Want to Live chatbot,the head of intelligence of the🇺🇦 Khartiia battalion tactical group coordinated extraction 📹Khartiia Corps

he's stealing billions of dollars of taxpayer money for his personal slush fund the most corrupt, criminal administration in history and despite how high a bar that is it isn't particularly close

I'm no Wes Moore expert but he sounds like a far better man than Trump will ever be.

Let me explain what this genuinely EVIL memo does. The admin is doubling down on its plan to arrest, detain, and interrogate tens of thousands of legally present refugees; people already vetted who’ve lived here legally for 1+ year. Hundreds were arrested in Minnesota before a court blocked this.

I'm with my son on a CPS outing to a Timberwolves game...basically the Allstate Arena is full of elementary schoolers. There was a big fight on the ice, and let me tell you, these kids CHEERED.

Wait, today is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's BIRTHDAY? OK, the rest of this is awful but THIS is funny.

Awfully hard to square the claims that ICE is focused on removing violent criminals that are so dangerous we can't let them be around with the fact that ICE tricks their targets by pretending to need help and waiting for neighborly types to respond by offering to help a stranger for free.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.

NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Countries that do not clean up my dog poop could be "left behind," says my dog.

I think sometimes folks on the left forget that the most successful progressive leader in American history was a Baptist minister who used Christian faith to argue for racial and economic justice. Don’t buy into right wing framing that they have a lock on faith.

Well which is it? Are you for birthright citizenship or against?

On this day four years ago, Putin once again denied that Russia was preparing a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Six days later, Putin himself would give the order to invade.

Nobody ever acknowledges that if we ditched employment-based healthcare, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO MANUFACTURE THINGS MORE CHEAPLY HERE! I am going to become the Joker on this issue.

Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will have the opportunity to question Les Wexner about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Survivors told us from day one: follow the money. That is exactly what we intend to do.

I am ALL FOR criticizing Dems when they fail - which is often - but the flip side of that is you need to acknowledge when they succeed. Despite understandable fears, they have consistently stood in the way of Trump’s attacks on trans people, in substantive ways. They deserve credit for it.
