Prince Andrew to seek asylum in the United States and join Donald Trump’s cabinet to avoid further persecution.

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and he went on to became an Oscar-winning screenwriter.

Okay. Let me say this as a voter and a student of poli science. There is no fucking healing the country with letting folks escape who are routinely breaking the fucking law. There is no kumbaya in letting this slide. This country has done this already and it never helps.

How do you fucking expect to heal when you allow corrupted officials to disappear into the sunset with bags of cash and comfortable living while those they fucked and sometimes killed, receive no justice? This is irrational in that context

Parents are arrested, children taken when "parent" deny medical care due to religious or social pressure. This is obviously child neglect and all children in that household need to be removed and examined, perhaps placed in other homes.

Huh…Just stumbled across this. From the Berkely studies, 1950 🤔 “[Theodor] Adorno distinguishes between ‘genuine’ conservatives and ‘pseudo’ conservatives, and argues that the latter misuse conservative values to promote fascism.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authori...

I live in CT. I vote in CT. You cannot vote by presenting a debit card. That is a lie. Larry Kudlow is a liar. Fact: you must present verifiable evidence of living in Connecticut, proof of residency. You have to produce the same documents to get a gov't-issued photo-ID. They're all liars.

"It’s time to get aggressive and get the f**k out because they’re trying to box us in." Key word: "they." They ever feverishly imagine they're facing coordinated group attack, even when there is no "they"--just a single individual avoiding conflict by getting out of their way.

"Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit."

There's case after case now where you get quick charges, almost certainly demanded from political appointees. Discovery producers evidence that rules out guilt. Prosecutors usually aren't willing to hide that evidence. Charges dismissed.

Does it seem this not getting as much attention as it deserves? This is a four-alarm fire of an event. This *particular* set of facts suggest some seriously consequential shit is going on out of sight. And this in a regime that revels in doing the shit right in our faces!

I might not live to see it, but I do look forward to the day when people start lying about having voted for Trump. Now THAT would smell like victory!

I’m *VERY* pleased to see “The Epstein Class” is gaining traction in our discourse. We can’t achieve a *sustainable* progressive coalition unless and until we take *very* seriously that we are engaged in class warfare. Make extreme wealth almost impossible if not outright criminal.

Actually, no. They were all vanity projects, all aimed at self-glorification. Elon wanted to be the world’s hippest, most relevant guy; his incompetence and odious personality made him one of the most disliked, pathetic ones. Trump wanted to put his brand on one of DC’s premier cultural +

So, here's my question about Bezos. He is rumored to be negotiating to buy Conde Nast, which publishes Vogue, @newyorker.com, @wired.com and a slew of other publications. Is there any guarantee that he won't grow bored w/ this purchase & just drain each of these of their life before shutting them

Bread and circuses in the modern age are real.

Great work here from @meiselasb.bsky.social and @meidastouch.com open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

“What Epstein shows us is that we live in a paedophiliac culture.”

Some religious views should not be more equal than others. The mainstream media constantly forward right-wing religious groups' victim fantasies, while playing down serious infractions against religious opponents of Trump.

Seems like almost every day now Trump does something to get the attention of people who don’t follow news or politics who are outraged, shocked, or infuriated. This guy has broken through to forums of people who don’t even care about politics & pissed them off. That’s hard to do.

Oh my…this is a brilliant take!! 👏👏👏👏

Net approvals from 10% - 87% Are you kidding me? You normally can’t get three Americans to agree on where to have lunch. Of 18 actions to curb the federal goon squads, 17 show net approval of at *least* 10%

"All the journalists are still on Twitter" kinda explains a lot

Now this is a front page. This regime is really leaning into promoting “Trump fatigue syndrome.”

Trump is spending over a billion dollars to tear down, build and/or remodel the WH, a ballroom, a triumphal arch, the Kennedy Center, and several DC golf courses, while spending most of his non-golfing time on interior decorating. MAGA: This is what I voted for! He loves us!

An internet search looking for articles of large media outlets who have reported on the president posting a video depicting the Obamas as primates should leave you disgusted with large media outlets. There are a few who did stories, but not many. I guess nothing matters anymore.

I think you know the answer. The “negotiations” have been an excuse to hold back necessary equipment and aid.

in a democratic republic (and really in all times and places) the slavish hunger to be in the thrall of a strongman or a king is the ultimate moral degeneracy.

A few years ago, the IRS got additional funding. What happened? More audits of wealthy tax cheats and better customer service for everyone else. Fast forward to now and the IRS is so understaffed and underfunded that it’s using HR employees to process tax returns. Trump delivers for the oligarchs.

Courage is contagious. Let’s keep going.

This is horrific and I can’t find this info in any legacy media. Have they really become so inured to this? www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Democrats should defund and restrain ICE to the degree possible. And they should insist on this condition at least: No ICE (or Border Patrol) anywhere near the polls or early voting election locations this fall.

Teaching Adam Smith shortly. Always worth highlighting his views on education:

Johnson is SUCH a scrofulous toad!! 🤮

$1.5T military budget $170B for ICE and Border Patrol (over 4 years) $100B on tax cuts for the 1% (per year) $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $496M to send National Guard into cities $200M for Kennedy Center renovations $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $100M for Trump's golf outings Priorities.
