I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Telegram is still on the App Store after being linked to multiple mass shootings.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

There are Morley cigarettes in the film version of Prozac Nation, which i think puts it in the same universe as X-Files.

my latest is expanding on the observation that your view of the politics of opposition to the administration depend largely on your view of the election (gift link)

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Hegseth: it’s hard to fly with the eagles…when u are surrounded with turkeys. Guy who has spent 40 years in military leadership: alright Hegseth: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step Guy who has spent 40 years in military leadership: alright Hegseth: you can lead a horse to w

Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the Border Control, provides a master class in how they engage in racial profiling: Thanks @chipmitchell1.bsky.social for your reporting & for this transcript.

The English in 1685: ehhh Americans in 1776: absolutely not Katie Miller:

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Matt Walsh advocates for mass murdering people with schizophrenia by convicting them of who knows what and then killing them. This is political violence btw.

dunno what else to say except we told you letting corporate conglomerates have control over democracy & technology was a bad idea that should be thoroughly undone. "Private equity… like BlackRock & Blackstone are buying local utilities [for AI] data centers, sparking ratepayer & regulator concerns"

jesus christ

A clear explanation: "further westward, Moscow’s goal isn’t to fight but to have us wake up one day to find NATO’s guarantees void, EU institutions ruined and transatlantic solidarity gone. No need for Ru to fire a shot if it can convince Europeans that defending themselves isn’t worth the effort."

BREAKING: Supreme Court lets Trump unilaterally freeze billions in congressionally appropriated foreign aid money apparent 6-3 vote with liberals in dissent @courthousenews.bsky.social

Once again, this illegitimate court has ruled that the law does not apply to this administration. The court of a joke that should not be respected.

2025 in the USA: New York schoolkid gets typhoid fever. Cool cool cool. I'm sure Bobby Brainworm will make sure we're responsible in handling the public response. 🙄

Again, “I will place conditions on our NATO treaty obligations” would have ended any presidency from Truman to Obama & should also do so now

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

How it started // How it’s going

Antifa is a pregnant woman taking a Tylenol for her back pain.

The defamation lawsuit it going to be delicious.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

Is it Christian to publicly call for the murder of all homeless people? That's what Brian Kilmeade did on Fox a week ago. He still has his job.

😕 💵

No one could’ve seen this coming

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

Good point.

Opinion | If Marco Rubio can simultaneously be Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, and National Archivist, there's no reason Greg Gutfeld can't simultaneously be the host of The Late Show, The Tonight Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Had to double check if this was real. It is.

I remember when the GOP said we can't have a public option for healthcare because of death panels. Well well, look who is actually creating real death panels.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

Today is a good day to cancel Disney+

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Trump is trying to destroy our democracy. He is trying to silence free speech... The only way we save this nation is if the people of this country rise up  in peaceful protest...We're not gonna let them silence us."
