Were the book sales worth it @jaketapper.bsky.social?
You really are an insufferable sellout.

But it would, as always, be irresponsible not to speculate.

Editorial cartoon by artist Marian Kamensky titled 𝘞𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘍𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘗𝘢𝘤𝘬 depicting a drunken, shirtless, and drooling Pete Hegseth passed out on the floor against a wall. Next to him on the floor is an empty liquor bottle, a red paint can, and a paint-soaked brush. Red paint droplets are also splattered all over the wall, the ground, and Hegseth himself. On the wall is a row of four signs, three of which Hegseth has crossed out with the red paint: • Department of Defense ❌ • Department of War ❌ • Department of War Crimes ❌ The fourth box, directly over Hegseth’s head, is labeled "Department of Drunken War Criminal.”

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Look, people, there is no evidence that Senator Tom Cotton was caught pleasuring himself while watching the video of those survivors clinging to a portion of a wrecked boat until they were murdered by a second missile.

There's just no truth to that at all. Stop saying it.

The constitutional right for Republicans to win elections no matter how hostile the electorate is against them

It is not a good thing for the world that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff met with Putin for 5 hours today.

literally hundreds of super talented authors doing great work who can't get you clowns to mention the title once but you'll be out here trying to make bank off literal garbage while winking knowingly at the camera, FOH

LIAR!

This!

Goddammit!! Goddammit!! Goddammit!!

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07.

If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

NEWS: Leaked memo exposes flimsy legal basis for Trump boat strikes DOJ's classified, "legal authorization" for the missile attacks is beginning to collapse.

"This explains why the administration refuses to declassify the memo...If the public saw how flimsy the legal footing is, they’d see the president is using wartime powers he does not have to kill civilians he cannot legally target..." open.substack.com/pub/defiance...

Hakeem Jeffries is a Republican. Stop pretending he’s not.

That moment when even Bill Kristol would be a better Democratic minority leader than Hakeem Jeffries.

No, you got it right. Unfortunately, Hakeem Jeffries is a jackass.

PRIMARY HAKEEM JEFFRIES

Hakeem Jeffries is the Merrick Garland of House minority leaders.

I didn't have Hakeem Jeffries praising Trump for pardoning Henry Cuellar as the thing that would absolutely ruin my day, but just...truly...how in the world can people defend Hakeem Jeffries? How morally lost do you have to be to go to bat for someone who will never even pretend to protect you?

I am starting to truly hate Hakeem Jeffries.

Hakeem Jeffries is literally a republican.

Primary Hakeem Jeffries.

🧵to enjoy - Hakeem Jeffries is a problem. He stymies his caucus. How many members might like to come out for impeachment but fear being punished? How many of them, in their hearts, want to fight for our democracy?

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.

He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.

I wish people could finally accept this.

Senate Intel Vice Chair Mark Warner on the Signalgate report: "Hegseth endangered the lives of American pilots based aboard the USS Harry S. Truman as they prepared to launch a mission against terrorist targets."

He is calling for Hegseth to resign.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

I’m partnering with Rep. Massie & @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social to introduce a War Powers Resolution that will force a vote in Congress to block Trump’s insane escalations against Venezuela.

No one except Trump wants this war—so I’m going to use every tool I have to stop him.

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”
