Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it. A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

the H1-B thing seems unlikely to withstand a court challenge, but it's still deeply funny that it's basically a nuclear warhead aimed at businesses and executives who've been grandiosely and publicly kissing his fucking ass for nine months

Far from ending the global clean energy revolution, the Trump administrations attacks on wind and solar only serve to relegate the US to obscurity All while China emerges to dominate every global supply chain that will matter in the future You couldn't produce a more pro China policy if you tried

It is an extraordinary loss of intellectual expertise that the American people invested millions in developing Every scientist who earns a graduate degree in the US is the product of an investment by the public This is like setting money on fire

I like how Adam thinks

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

This is insane. There is a madman in Washington creating fiscal policy that will bankrupt America, stifle innovation, and is just morally reprehensible. But a “socialist” who wants to be mayor of NYC is what causes Wall St to panic? Just clowning on themselves.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

Generally speaking, one swaps out license plates solely to commit crimes

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

The MAGA youth might get sent to Iran because Joe Rogan got them all worked up over 10 trans athletes across 50 states.

This is America now. "We will kill you" says the sheriff. www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/u...

Raise your hand if you were dumb enough to have believed this.

This is sick.

shoutout to every idiot who believed that trump would "end the wars"

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

i'm calling it, today is officially funnier than when Trump got COVID

Don’t get distracted by the drama between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Keep your eye on the ball. The budget bill is pending in the Senate and will decimate healthcare access for millions. Every Senator should vote no. Keep telling them that.

I can't predict the future but close to 100% of Elon's past interactions with other human beings lead me to suspect this will continue to escalate

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

My dude, you ruled that he was free to commit as many crimes as he wants.

To be fair, he did warn us all that we were never going to survive unless we get a little crazy.

See if I were a Democrat I'd be printing out talking points now accusing Trump and Bezos of colluding to hide the costs of his tariffs. Call them Trump's "hidden fees" "sticker shock" a "Bezos bailout"

Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.

my hope is that the terminally online elder millennials like jd vance and nayib bukele who are driving the resurgence of fascism will keep displaying their anti-social wretchedness until enough people realize they fucking suck and no one should listen to them

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

Unless it's measles. Or COVID. Or syphilis.

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy. These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do. prospect.org/economy/2025...

When they said they were voting Trump because of inflation, I didn't realize they meant they wanted more of it.

Monstrously destructive, incoherent, ill-informed tariffs based on fabrications, imagined wrongs, discredited theories and ignorance of decades of evidence. And the real tragedy is that they will hurt working Americans more than anyone else.

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

If Joe Biden had promised to lower prices on day one and then flip-flopped and said pain was coming instead, the press would be asking him why he lied to the American people.

The sheer existence of DOGE and the incredible access it has enjoyed is failed state shit. It simply couldn’t exist in a country on anything but a rapid downward trajectory.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

the endgame here is him withholding federal tax dollars from blue states entirely unless they let him personally rewrite all their laws it is the end of the “states’ rights” conservatives claimed to believe in so fervently in favor of absolute dictatorship

Schumer's logic here also dictates getting rolled on the debt ceiling and on next year's budget. I think he's got to go

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.
