I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Chevy Chase! Line the Streets: Connecticut Ave.” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

We aren't learning.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

The way the media spins stories like this is “look how the dogged cops cleared this terrible quadruple-murder 34 years later” and not “oh by the way they totally accused and convicted the wrong guys before, oops lol” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Describing authoritarian acts as authoritarian doesn’t incite violence. Decrying fascist acts doesn’t incite violence. Dehumanizing language is a precursor to violence & genocide. Never call any person an animal, scum, bug, vermin, parasite, or garbage. www.ushmm.org/antisemitism...

Get. Off. Twitter.

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

ok my most tinfoil hat health theory is that the reason melania has reemerged and is always holding hands with him now is because he needs it to walk in a straight line

also, urge folks to read Katie Johnson's testimony [transcribed and contextualized by Kate Manne here] katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

A must share

Unusual helicopter traffic around Walter Reed, including USCG, which I’ve not seen before.

Saturday Night cold open… Chevy Chase sits behind a news desk, receives a piece of paper from off screen and says “This just in, Donald Trump is…”

New in PN: Alert the media — the WH is lying about Trump's health "Something's clearly up & the official explanations don’t make sense. That’s not a shock given that Trump is a liar surrounded by toadies who surrendered their shame long ago. But it’s past time for reporters to ask some questions."

Current, continuous mood:

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...

This is your Democratic campaign message for 2026

Notice how he does his best throughout to hide the back of his right hand from the pool camera.

A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

So here is your Saturday question: Does American get it yet? Do we — by which I mean citizens, institutions, and former guardrails — understand the full scope of what is happening? Do the courts, businesses, law firms, universities, media companies get it yet? open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Fuck it. I’m releasing these. The police seized all of my lasers during this operation. I have a court date in my future. #FreeLordLaser #FreeLadyLaser I will tell the whole story later. But it was all worth it to release these images on this day. “Good men must not obey the law too well.”

This is the truth!

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad

Why is it so hard to believe the President of the United States ordered the assassination of his only friend to cover up the fact they raped young girls together?

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

America has the most corrupt political system in the Western world.

NEWS: The Trump administration just announced it will eliminate the EPA’s Office of Research and Development and begin firing hundreds of government scientists. For months, the Trump administration denied they were doing this… even after a leaked document exposed their plans.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.
