ICE is thug scum

This is a textbook case of political asylum.

trumpcard.gov is live and the million dollar fees are all referred to as “gifts” or “contributions” to an undisclosed party lol

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Well fuck. Live Updates: At Least 10 Killed, Including Gunman in Shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney

Trump making H1Bs prohibitively expensive at the same time software companies have figured out it’s far cheaper just to set up offices in other countries is like the absolute reverse of 4D chess. We’re now actively encouraging tech to offshore what were white collar American jobs.

thanks brett kavanaugh!

wow if only the people who wrote our constitution had anticipated this, if only there had been some language about searching and seizure but alas

periodic reminder that the crusade against MSG was just racism and it is actually just magical science salt that gets you More Yummy for Less Sodium

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw

"This inquiry is not some academic exercise. Approximately 137 men were spirited out of this country without a hearing and placed in a high-security prison in El Salvador, where many suffered abuse and possible torture, despite this Court’s order." —Judge Boasberg

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.

FFS Congresional Democrats… read the room! If you’re not gonna lead the resistance, get out of the effing way and #FireJeffries

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

The people who support $12B in corporate welfare to farms and forgave $80B in auto bailouts and forgave $700B in bank bailouts and forgave $755B in PPP loans want you to know that forgiving medical debt and student debt is socialism😐

They used to pretend that AI would detect cancer early and now it’s “don’t you want to make yourself into Pluto while he fucks Goofy”

Yes this is good news but important to understand it happened partly because *it wasn’t good for Indiana state GOP either*. Cracking the 2 Dem districts would have weakened safe margins in the 7 GOP districts so lots of safe races would have become competitive heading into a blue wave election.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left. And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking." It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Days after FIFA awarded Trump a fake peace prize, DOJ moves to drop charges in FIFA corruption case www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

fuck the Democratic party 👍

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

It’s a very tiny bright spot that grand juries aren’t just assuming govt tells the truth anymore (because it’s awful and expensive for the accused even when govt case is shit) but it’s such a terrible indictment of how much goodwill the Trump administration has destroyed with the avg citizen.

Some people have asked what I mean when I talk about the need for anti-corruption reforms. Here are some ideas.

ideally you'd block all media consolidation, but I think the smart play here is for Democrats and Netflix to join forces, piggyback on the recent Riyadh Comedy Festival backlash, and hammer Saudi involvement in order to scuttle the Trump/Ellison quest to dominate state media

Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him

Wins 2025 hands down

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

Some people asked why farmers supported Trump in 2024 after he fucked them over so badly with tariffs in 2017-20. Answer: he didn't fuck them over! He mailed them all checks!

New York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.

Bill Clinton clone in Mitt Romney’s skin is the best description of Newsom I’ve ever seen 😂 You can admire his social media game but HE IS NOT THE ONE

(Some of) the kids are alright…

The chef for the Norwegian Embassy in DC is producing sexy food videos and they are amazing! 😂

The onion just prints the news now

He is just the most vile petty piece of shit

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Wondering if they’d classify Pantone’s color if the year as rage bait?

This is an American patriot.

IIRC, it doesn’t just make America sicker, Hep B kills like 25% of those infected? But Cassidy pretending this wasn’t entirely predictable and that he didn’t specifically enable this by being the deciding vote to confirm the guy who was obviously going to do this is performative bullshit.

What if it turned out Mamdani’s exuberance and his campaign that showcased the joy of NYC life actually attracts rich people?

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales. Tesla makes up less than 2%. The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
