What an utter disgrace Marco Rubio is.

"'I can say to you with confidence that President Trump is deeply committed to your success because your success is our success,' Rubio said during a joint press conference with Orban after their meeting."

Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart I do loathe all the stuff about how you have to use AI or you're going to be left behind. If it's going to be that disruptive, then there's probably not much that you can do. And also there's no skill involved in using it. There's no learning curve. Can always pick it up later. 6:26 PM · Feb 13, 2026 · 47.6K Views https://x.com/TheStalwart/status/2022452441623531818

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

Where did the word verbiage come from? Im seeing it everywhere in place of language. Any idea what started that transition?

what

Why is that trump has surely been there

I'll die on the hill that even allowing the torture debate was corrosive to the soul of this country.

It should've begun and ended with "No, this is illegal, fuck you, you're all going to prison now."

Allowing it gave room to rationalize torture and normalize it. Everything else followed suit.

Having spent most of my working life in transport policy, this is the essential truth that so many people - including politicians with responsibility for transport decisions - don’t or won’t get.

To reduce congestion, you reduce capacity and reduce speed. The empirical evidence is overwhelming.

The conservative movement is the leach they decry. Cut taxes in their states and expect federal money from blue states to fill in the gaps. Fuck that

If they do this no federal road funding for them. No bailouts

President Trump, welcome to the war on cars

Nominal gdp targeting for the win

Gonzales is older than bad bunny. Bad bunny was 4 when this happened. What the fuck are these people on

As @eschatonblog.com would say… “that fucking newspaper”

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.

Like, there is no legal way to immigrate to the United States, unless you have one of these: a relative who is a citizen here (and wait a very long time), are turbo rich/skilled, or win the green card lottery. Thats it.

A player in massive trade rumors owning part of a prediction market where people can bet on whether he gets traded is a MASSIVE conflict of interest.

This is so far beyond players doing sportsbook ads.

who called it Heated Rivalry and not Fuck Ice

Russia is trying to maintain their honeypot

the cable bundle was as ben thompson put it "socalism that works" and the newspaper is too. Atomizing that means an an inability for readers to afford all the writing that matters to them becuase of cross subsidy losses. Dead weight losses of individual writer subscriptions are staggering

Jesus christ

he is so guilty omg

He has a 12 word vocabulary and seemingly struggles to form a simple declarative sentence. How he can cause this much mayhem is a sight to behold

I talked to a woman who quit an AUSA job recently. She was asked by main DOJ to dismiss a Medicare fraud prosecution because the defendant was the daughter of a girlfriend of a MAGA figure.
