ORACLE TO SERVE BREAKFAST ALL DAY

“I can’t understand why DHS is hiding us when we are handing them strategy on a silver platter,” Bovino wrote to a contact listed as “Diz.” Minutes later, Bovino followed up: “Massive disturbance at apartment complex in Kenner. We are running tags and such.”

one reason "great power competition" is a bad description of the emerging order is that an interlinked global kleptocracy does not care about national interests or rivalries

This the core problem with the White House Press Corps encapsulated: Karoline Leavitt just lied right to your face, you know she's incorrect, and you just move on to your next topic. It matters that she's wrong and/or lying about it! Stay there!

this is especially frustrating because there probably will be a time when we correctly accuse the Trump Administration of fucking with economic data and the more people are crying wolf the less effective that will be. truth is our ally and more than that the existence of truth is our ally.

Seems legit

When you hire a white man because they’re a white man that’s not identity politics. Identity politics is when you get hired and you’re not a white man. The anti wokeness hysteria was always a backlash to integration of white collar jobs bsky.app/profile/jami...

I think it would be good to have a president who has a vague connection to the reality of how things work

Whether it's a hawkish cut or dovish cut, the important thing is you panic

Luther Burden, YAC machine

One of the things that irritates me about defunding the Post Office is that the Post Office is just a great place to go to. People getting presents, sending off Christmas letters, the hustle and bustle of American Capitalism, people meeting people, babes and hunks, get laid at the Post Office folks

You know what works: Small class sizes Teachers with support from admins Engaged, rested, properly fed students not freaking out about EVERYTHING You know what doesn't: The race for the latest technology. Yes, even that one.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I don't know if folks who didn't grow up in the Christian church grasp how painfully clear the Bible is about treating all humans with dignity and respect. Jesus was like PRETEND THOSE PEOPLE ARE ME IF THAT HELPS. And yet!

they need an Obesity Lenin to deal with the Obesity Tsar

By the end of the ratification debates, everyone understood that the 14th Amendment would grant birthright citizenship to the children of immigrants. The only live question was whether that was a *good* thing. Some senators argued it wasn’t. But they lost! applyliberally.substack.com/p/birthright...

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Pirro said the pipe bombing suspect had "not a lot of social media". She should call me, because I have now found his: Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud, YouTube channel, songs he made on YouTube, Steam, and about five fanfic and gaming forum accounts.

Algorithms are not all bad, there's place for them. But when it comes to the serious business of understanding the world around you they are a prison and a distortion field fueled by our own most base impulses. Having a space where the algorithm is totally under your control is freedom.

if we have proven one thing it is that the median voter does not put all that much thought into who they are replacing the bum with when they throw the bum out the important point is: there is a bum, and he needs to go

Groups of dudes who self-segregate & talk each other into believing that they are uniquely brilliant & everyone else just doesn't get it ... are responsible for some of history's most florid horrors.

They’re calling him the world’s most sober man:

Pete Hegseth bears responsibility for THIS (hat tip @natashabertrand.bsky.social)

Scoop: FBI aims to escalate its inquiry into 6 Democrats who made video for troops by pressing domestic terrorism squad to launch a formal seditious conspiracy investigation. Washington Field Office leaders are pushing back b/c they don't see a crime. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Hard disagree. The official BLS jobs numbers are still the most reliable data we have, and it's not close. And there's no way the Administration has (yet) fiddled with its data. I promise to let you know at the first whiff of interference.

Hey, can my deleted BlueSky post get re-posted?

“'It needs to be a dog that is rock solid, not upset by things, a dog that is unflappable,' she said. Cultivating that disposition takes intensive labor and extensive time — the program for most dogs, who begin as puppies, lasts 18 to 24 months." [Frank Bruni]

Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

Isn't running the football beautiful?

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Good morning.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.

god bless a good crossfade. undefeated never lost

It wasn't the Biden administration who approved this asylum case though.

Romeo Doubs’ helmet gets 9 percent bigger every week

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention. Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Wife: "Thank you for putting up the Christmas lights." Me: "Actually those are NBA Cup decorations. They come down on the 14th."

by all indications “literally all of society mildly likes this abominable scam homunculus” is much closer to the truth. I don’t see how you can win if you are actively in denial about the reality you’re resisting

So currencies. Much medium of exchange. Very store of value. Stablecoins are no more a replacement for dollars than Mexican or Argentine pesos were a replacement for dollars in the 1980s or 1990s. They're the equivalent of a fixed exchange rate peg with ever-present credibility/reserves questions.

If you're wondering what the NBA Cup single-game scoring record is (as all god-fearing people should), it's 60 by De'Aaron Fox in 2024. (Luka has 32 at the half tonight.)
