LOL you gotta hand it to South Korea for gifting Trump a Silla dynasty crown. For those that don't know; that dynasty fell to financial instability, incredibly high taxes, wealth inequality and widespread rebellion against their king. Trump is too dumb to understand this is a prophecy and President Lee is basking in this moment, deservedly.

Definitely don’t grow up to be a cowboy

No. Don’t. Let them find out.

The Art of Letting Trump Claim a Win, While Walking Away Stronger

Trump bungled China policy so badly he had to run to Xi to beg forgiveness and surrender. Everyone knows it. In the "deal", America gets nothing, not even a return to status quo.

Trump has now totally abandoned his promise to "get tough" on China.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.

You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

All my apes, gone

It is Twitter! Like guys I’m telling you the thing that is collapsing basic norms and making white supremacy mainstream again and giving our formally centrist pundits a Strange New Respect for completely overt neo-Nazis is Twitter! You HAVE to stop ignoring it. It is going to destroy our society

The Jolly Roger flag

With me so far? 1/x

The New York Times’ “Moderation Advantage” Is a Statistical Illusion After accounting for money and incumbency the supposed electoral bonus for moderate candidates vanishes entirely.

NYT pushed its “Dems must go moderate” take again yesterday. In a new piece out today, @adambonica.bsky.social shows even more clearly why the data don’t support it. It also shows what a skilled empiricist and teacher Adam is.

Very proud of my pal’s public work.

Its Gaius Crassus Pompey isnt it

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Isnt this the guy that Łink called out and got nuclear buttoned literally a day later? This guy worked for Blackwater! And hes got a Nazi tattoo? And hes unapologetic? Why is he still in the race?!?

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.
