you know what i just realized, watching this guy compete Trump went out of his way to personally call Team USA athletes losers but, unless I'm missing something, hasn't congratulated or celebrated any athletes who have won Olympic medals for Team USA they don't actually like America or Americans

Could you imagine voting to give this man impunity under the law and green-light 90 percent of his heinous agenda only for him to say this about you to the entire planet? World-class losers on the Court.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

wtf are we doing

over the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

please kill me

They are creating a new military (lacking even the controls of the real, old military) to wage war on U.S. citizens and residents. No member of Congress with a conscience can approve a single dollar of funding to either of these agencies.

I don't know whether to buy if this is real but ABSOLUTELY NOT DEAR GOD

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

the entire difference between kyle rittenhouse and alex pretti is that kyle rittenhouse was there to shoot people the cops wanted to shoot and alex pretti was there to protect people the cops wanted to shoot

"They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times. "I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him.”

i think about this picture of fred shuttlesworth looking at his bombed out house every day because it is in my classroom and so i see it five times a week. tired and defiant. a face that says well, on we go

Clarissa explains it all to the DHS Instagram account

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

Although there are so many examples now, this is one of the most chilling things I can imagine a member of the United States Congress saying. We are officially at, "You no longer have rights."

they are actively trying to get these officers killed and have been for some time

it looks like you covered fat guys in glue and rolled them in a dumpster full of the tactical gear they sell on the ACC network

Indiana? The football school?

We got an Indiana national championship before GTA 6

the leaders of the civil rights era could not propose or veto legislation. they had no "power." but they had legitimacy because they were out there. Letter from a Birmingham Jail was written...FROM JAIL. But with these guys "Hey it's crazy right now and we can't do much, but give us money." LOL ok.

"we can touch you anywhere at any time of our choosing" (known as the "Trumpstein Doctrine")

In many ways, letters and words (as part of a badge, let's say), are a sort of "QR code of the mind." Eyes are the phone in this scenario. Brain is a website.

The NFL experience is lacking vs the college-football experience in so many ways, but there's nothing *quite* like a January game between pro teams from freezing industrial cities that hate each other

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

Holy fuck they actually did it

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Finally someone in a position of power explaining what is happening with the frankness demanded by the gravity of the moment.

that's so crazy. i'm sure you put him in prison and banned him from ever holding office again right

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

You can put CHRIST in CHRISTmas but you leave him OUT of the POP-TARTS BOWL

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Be happy more people are without jobs right before Christmas because I fired many of them. Donald Trump

St. Cheney has blessed us with a brand new oil war! All rejoice at this Emirates NBA Cup Day miracle!!! 🛢️🛢️🛢️

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

the law is real until it gets to SCOTUS at which point it becomes fake, which doesn't bother the six reactionaries at the top but does undermine literally everyone else in the profession

This is while they're executing people in the Caribbean for imagined drug crimes! No brain can practice this level of hypocrisy without frying and melting itself.

Because Dave Portnoy is sad today it’s really more of a victory for America

FIELD CONDITIONS UPDATE: Brutus Buckeye drew a Script Ohio in the snow and X’d out the M in the end zone. ❄️ ❌

Does the AI model also predict either a run play or a pass play
