The Republicans deflect to fraud in social welfare programs to deflect from the cruel realities of the suffering of the people who are hurt by the Republican cuts to these programs.

💯! But more likely to happen if the MSM happens to forget in 2016 that Trump had no govt experience; routinely cheated his suppliers & contractors; ran a fraudulent charity; ran a ripoff real-estate school; called news orgs using an alias; & manipulated stocks. Instead, it was ... Hillary's emails.

Oh… Core PPI just exploded in April under Trump’s “genius” watch. It smashed forecasts and hitting 5.2% yearly. Nothing says “winning” like tariff-fueled inflation and corporate greed jacking up business costs while Americans foot the bill. We told you so.

For a moment I thought "am I being too mean" and realized that no, this whole segment is meant to ridicule Europeans for making any effort to mitigate climate change and if anything I am not being mean enough

The best edit cartoonist of the 21st century, by miles and miles

won't this pull prosecutors away from going after Trump's enemies?

again, i don’t think any of this is necessary. just say that the court was out of bounds, that it may be correct on the definition of “election” but that this technical matter has no bearing on the results of the referendum, which occurred in a free and fair contest.

the court failed to provide the appropriate level of deference to a constitutional referendum and no one is obliged to honor its conclusion that the results should be invalidated.

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

"Great news! Your commencement speech went viral! No need to check what they're saying about you."

This has every sign of being a permanent bargaining impasse, that nothing will resolve. Well, except for a cratering U.S. stock market and recession prior to the midterms.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Backseat driver that crashes the car as soon as he takes the wheel.

Where does the Constitution say "major questions" gives the Supreme Court more power as determined by the Court? Why didn't anyone notice it for 224 years? Where does the Constitution say "official acts" make a president immune to legal consequence for crime. Why didn't anyone notice for 235 years?

here we go again, the new york times calling an increase of 115k jobs under Trump "solid" while it called similar or considerably bigger gains under Biden "disappointing" or "weak"

He crashed the economy. Government, markets, and media will pretend he didn't for as long as they possibly can. But he did, and that will become increasingly apparent in the coming months. The country and world cannot adjust to an energy supply crunch of this size without economic disruption.

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

The initial coverage was all like this: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

A big middle finger and the umpteenth told-you-so to the many parts of the media that have spent the last month repeatedly told everyone the war is over. “What are we supposed to do, not uncritically put whatever the serial lying White House says in headlines regardless of veracity?” Yes, exactly.

But, didn't Vietnam prove the then-prevailing theory that overwhelming air power against a lesser military would bring about a surrender in a few months? bsky.app/profile/john...

Media in the U.S. is a totally captured and servile joke

still thinking about that Goldman Sachs “analysis” that predicted we would be at 120% of normal traffic in the strait of Hormuz by now

This is only a big deal if you’re into food.

Until my final breath I will never understand how January 6th wasn't an instant dealbreaker for every single American voter

Checking with my lawyer wife whether "Assuming the other side agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is a big assumption, unless they dont" typically means a settlement is ready to be inked

Objective journalism language is fucking wild.

Ukrainian housewife. ✊ Europeans are cowards for forcing Ukrainians to fight and die alone in defense of all Europe against Russia.

SHAFT

Zero pushback from Kristen Welker when Todd Blanche said you have to show your ID every time you walk into a restaurant. What a joke.

The White House press corps doesn’t have time to push back on this because they’re busy trying to reschedule the correspondents dinner

A project for some reporter/wonk with time to kill: Scrape Trump’s posts/speeches/interviews for uses of the phrase “low IQ” and figure out what percentage of the time it’s aimed at a black person. Because my sense is it’s in the ballpark of like 80%+

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

DOJ indicting someone for posting 86 47 on social media is far more dangerous to Americans than someone posting 86 47 on social media. The real crime is the indictment itself.

"We should not follow in the footsteps of Lincoln and Jefferson, both of whom expanded the Supreme Court, but should instead leave in place a deeply corrupt and rabidly anti-democracy Supreme Court supermajority of illegitimate origin so it may thwart our every initiative."

Is it going to turn out that Pam Bondi lost her job over her refusal to do this?

Yeah I think pretty clear that there is a BIG chunk of MAGAs who are mostly in it for the racism

Five uncomfortable truths about Saturday's incident at the White House Correspondents Dinner. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Kash Patel finding out his girlfriend was holding another man's hand hiding at the White House Correspondents' dinner wasn't on my bingo card for tonight.

Every school in America is going to need to build a ballroom.

Oh by the way…. The economy is in the shitter Prices are too high The war has failed Our health care system has been battered Everyone hates us Trump is epically corrupt and historically unpopular And tomorrow is Sunday.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Probably not suspicious that Trump fired his Navy Secretary in the middle of a naval blockade.

"It would be really bad if they don't work out this Hormuz thing, so they'll figure it out some way" is still the prevailing attitude. Can see it in markets, media, politicians, public. Bad can't happen, people in charge know what they're doing, it's all content anyway. I find it... unsettling.

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars. I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

Simply filing this lawsuit is an impeachable offense.
