Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

They panic about fertility rates, say families need to be having more children, then they starve the kids and ensure health insurance is impossible to afford. Plus all the other things that would dissuade people from having kids: houses impossible to buy, diminishing middle class, ICE everywhere.

Musk does not get 1/1000th of the grief he should over this absurd claim about 20 million dead people getting Social Security. Social Security is run far better than Tesla and provides a way more valuable service.

Mamdani got 1,036,051 votes and had 108,000 volunteers. One out of ten people who voted for him also built the campaign. Amazing.

All of us olds live in constant PTSD about Obama's campaign purposefully unwinding its volunteer army in 2009.

Good news: Mamdani's team says it's doing the opposite.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

Predator Badlands understands that the secret to a good Predator movie is 70 minutes of toxic masculinity and 30 minutes of "toxic masculinity has failed, time to build elaborate booby traps."

15 percent of American homes lacked indoor plumbing in 1960.

The idea that everyone in 1955 America lived in a split-level suburban home with two cars and three kids and one income is, quite simply, a fantasy borne of media consumption.

Elections in democracies determine who administers the government; they do not alter whom the government is for. Under any administration, Republican or Democratic, the United States government exists to serve the people of the United States, regardless of their partisan affiliation. Besides, Americans are not as easily divided as Trump might think. Millions of Republican voters live in New York, just as millions of Democrats live in Texas. He cannot tell whom he is punishing by glancing at an electoral map. But even if he could, Trump’s acts of extortion have no place in a democracy. They belong in a protection racket: If you support Trump, you are protected; if you do not, you are vulnerable. If you donate enough cash to Trump, you may receive favorable treatment, including immunity from the law. If you oppose Trump, you may be prosecuted.

This is not how a representative government works. It is how the Mafia works.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Because I seem to remember …….

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

There's a free iOS app called BitCam which only takes pictures like this, and I absolutely love it.

Takes me back to my earliest days with the first Mac I ever owned, a Mac Plus.

Soldiers are going to food banks while Trump rolls out a mortgage you can’t pay off until you’re 90 and the New York Times is still convinced that this whole socialism thing is a fad like the Labubu.

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance

Did he eat the kids…?

A man is wearing a color shirt that seems to fit like a size too large. His hair is the shoveled. His eyes are wide and green. His upper teeth are sticking out of his mouth. Probably a artistic rendering of Mr. Hyde, but I can’t remember. He’s facing us with the eyes cast downward facing somebody off panel and replying, “Yes, yes… I like those kids. Those are good kids. I have to go to the bathroom.”
