By definition, there are more band members than band leaders. If you're a band member, I hope you have a band leader who not only recognizes your talents and contributions, but takes joy in them.

1. He wasn't fired. 2. Imagine giving this quote to defend your support for ICE. "I'm sad bc things escalated quickly and I was taken away from my kids." Tell that to Pretti, Good, or 1000s of others who've had their lives, careers, and families brutally ripped apart by ICE.

Dawsey on the byline. @emptywheel.bsky.social calls him the Trump Whisperer.

With due respect, do we need to "take a moment to reflect on" our President's blatant racism? Birtherism was 15 years ago. Mexican "rapists and murderers" was 11 years ago. Neo-Nazis are "very fine people" was 9 years ago. Dude is a racist. Those who support him are racists. Full stop.

Rare to see a reported statement of fact that is both objectively false and yet also unquestionably accurate.

Are you suggesting Jonathan Ross shouldn't put his feet on the desk in his fancy new Christmas Adventurers Club office?

Lines up perfectly with yesterday's video of an ICE goon saying "Didn't you people learn your lesson the past few days" before batting away the female protester's phone.

Protip for the young lawyers out there: try to avoid filings that lead a judge to sua sponte order you to explain why you didn't just violate 6 different disciplinary rules.

As someone who grew up in a time and place where "polack jokes" were standard fare, it is deeply funny to me that of the two Donalds, we got the stupid one.

I heard "turn the volume up" as a double entendre. Not just "listen closely, old man" but also "be louder when you lie about how great you are."

Agreed, but "recent" doing some heavy lifting here. I'm 56, don't have an encyclopedic memory but I don't recall another legislative infusion of cash into US manufacturing in my lifetime.

The Framers saw Donald Trump coming a mile away. The problem is they didn't plan for Mitch McConnell and Mike Johnson.

Any chance his staffers are showing him episodes of Deadwood and telling him it's Portland?

This is going to end with the Roberts Court holding that "Snowflake Crank" is a protected class, isn't it?
