I broke a nephew's use of "skibidi" by using it and explaining its relationship to dadaism. By the end the word was so boring and uncool he couldn't bear to say it again.

I'll vote for anyone who promises to throw this man in jail.

It’s so wild how the wealthy are destroying the Amazon that potentially has the cure for all the cancers in favor of an Amazon that’s creating new types of cancers

when you have had it with these iconoclastic snakes on this consecrated plane

it’s fun watching people see what trans folks have been warning of for years. the media has no capacity to inform about the politicization of health care

I feel comfortable and secure in my belief that democratic leadership should not be pulling their slogans from venture capitalists. That this, at minimum, is a significant indictment of who they are listening and talking to. It’s not that complicated.

How did this guy and a drug kingpin buy their pardons from Trump? This is our-in-the-open corruption, and Republicans are accepting it.

Wonderful news for the next New Deal Democrat—the current pop of super rich people are comic book villains.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

what do you even do about journalists like this. biggest megaphone on the planet at the times and choosing to promote lies. it doesn't do shit if we all block her, and we can only cancel subs so many times. i guess you hope for a sense of shame that you know isn't there

it’s Vogon poetry, isn’t it

The number of people who fold to Trump when he is deeply unpopular and disliked on every issue indicates that they really just agree with him. news.gallup.com/poll/699221/...

The media treated Biden's pardon of Hunter for trumped-up gun possession charges as more scandalous - far more scandalous - than Trump's pardon of war criminal serial killer Eddie Gallagher. And here we are:

trump will pardon or assist any head of state who has been convicted for crimes. acting out of self preservation, basically

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

I mean, as fighting words as it gets here from a GOP official against the White House.

I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

In case you were waiting for @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social's take on the Zohran/Trump meeting, wait no longer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxi1...

Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

Honestly, the audacity of Heinlein fans who give romance readers shit. ASTOUNDING!

Gillibrand's decline doesn't get enough attention but if tomorrow the crypto industry came out in favor of military servicewomen getting sexually assaulted she'd abandon that cause so fast it would snap your neck

believe it or not this is how it BEGINS

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Never forget who dove head first into defending this. Remember them every time we hear about a kid who dies of whooping cough.

I have doomscrolled enough and you probably have too.

gonna have to do ag reform if you want to fix the water. sorry. they’re the problem.

she’s a villain, and she’s worse than most of her peers, but she’s not a shot-caller, every editor she had and every employer she reported to (and reports to now) is worse

if you get your credit card out to find out what happens you’ve strayed too far from god’s light

An ancient times, a person did not simply *tell* another person that they cared about them; person A in this scenario, in a totally normal way, spent several days making a mixtape of the most choice Oasis b-sides OR the best Guided By Voices tracks obv

I kinda like the New Model Hochul

that’s the nice thing about dating RFK, his love language is skeletons

One of those people being Mike Johnson. Her future in the House was either continuing under a Speaker she loathes or being in the minority, which while tolerable in the Senate is miserable in the House.

Resign and announces a tell all to take down people she doesn’t like on her side, big media tour into primaries.

this is just one of the many things the GOP doesn’t do to itself but Beltway Dems are addicted to own goals

I’m gonna implore everyone here to take the W if only to experience the feeling again.

“Oval Office love fest.”

Not for nothing but the “bromance” stuff is as made up cope as anything else. I haven’t heard a clip of Mamdani saying anything other than “I appreciated the invitation to discuss things with him” and agreeing that he called him a fascist

I think having a swastika tattoo should disqualify you from a government job actually

men will literally make liking marmalade their whole personality

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States: - Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party - Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children - Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats Those are just factual statements.

Maga and Latinos voted maga thinking he was going to release the Epstein files and get all the pedo dems and get rid of illegals who are violent criminals. Turns out we don’t have a GANG problem in America. We have a LYING problem. A FOX problem. And an ICE problem.

This is definitely true, but the moment in which reporters can call out the president for calling a woman a "piggie" is not finite.

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation" As opposed to doing what with their children??

They also know that Minneapolis will show the fuck up if they try something. They did a test run here a couple months back and it almost kicked off another uprising.

the thing that’s really under my skin is that I’ve learned nothing new about Larry Summers. I’m not some hyper-connected politico. I’m a random guy and I’ve known for *years* that he’s a misogynist creep.

bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on

Rats fleeing the Trump ship give me glee because they are a signal about structural integrity, but I don't have to hand it to the rats.
