the one thing that i don't think Bari Weiss (the fucking moron) recognizes is the fact that if there's one the press loves, it's about reporting on internal reporter drama

We can only assume this delay is for a good and normal reason

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

for all people make fun of falun gong, it's wild how much this is basically the same thing as shen yun

SANCHEZ: You're talking about the boat strikes. Here, Susie Wiles is talking about essentially regime change. Is that not something that should go through Congress? REP, BEN CLINE: I haven't read this Vanity Fair article you're speaking o SANCHEZ: I bet it's worth your time

Imagine how good a film list has to be for When Harry Met Sally to be number 6. #RIP editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/rob-re...

Randomly came across Disney artist Frans Van Lamsweerde in one of those posts that casually boasts, “My father was an artist at Disney.” And my follow up, “What was his name?” Then the unfamiliar name, followed by a Google search. And then, “Holy Cow!” Pictured here are his private Christmas cards.

So many posts about Susie Wiles but not many links to the actual Vanity Fair article so here it is.

If you give multiple interviews to Vanity Fair and don’t know whether or not you are on or off the record - then you are not qualified to be a chief of staff. Speaking as a chief of staff.

fuck right off with this too please. Chomsky has been quite clear that he doesn’t think his relationship with Epstein is anyone else’s business and we can and should draw adverse inferences from that. sorry he wrote some things you liked; bold thinkers can be monsters too.

a lot of MAGA people have basically an imagined vision of Trump and i think the Reiner post is a good example of them encountering reality for the first time

If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

I really wish I lived in a country where the press reported on the current President's delusional bullshit fantasies and scalding racism with as much passion they as they covered the former President's age.

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SKIPPED A GANG OF EIGHT MEETING????!!!!

Trump demands an apology from CBS (or else!) says, "The only reason Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!)."

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Turns out that the reminder from Congressional Democrats that members of the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders was timely. Read the details here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

As always, I recommend people be skeptical of influencer marketing like this. Don't let people leverage parasocial relationships, trust, and political identity to sell you things that ultimately aren't in your best interest. And question the integrity of those those who do.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence. Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say. Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible. But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

do you think God hates us

"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

what the fuck is the president talking about

Trump: "How about the places that think they're gonna save a fortune so they spend a lot of money where the water turns off. You press the thing, which you hate to do. So you get the towel & you press it. You wash it & the water stops. You get like 4 drops of water. Do we really get rich with that?"

Trump: "I said, 'why is the Gulf of Mexico called the Gulf of Mexico?' I said, 'We're changing the name.' And now it's the Gulf of America. Has nothing to do with McDonald's, but maybe it does."

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning. The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

we need a department of kerning

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

Who's gonna tell him

All of the same MAGA idiots that called Zohran an Al-qaeda jihadist will support Trump welcoming a literal al-qaeda member in the White House because these people are sick.

This is the Surrender Caucus:

Ahem: runforsomething.net/run/

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year. All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

i fully endorse this foray into dishwasher autism

I'm very concerned about my party's popularity. that's why I constantly highlight internal divisions, stir up intrafactional strife, and loudly broadcast and complain about anything allegedly unpopular any party member has done, at any level of government
