The Times' real argument is "changes in gender make me feel old and out of date, they must be wrong somehow." Everything else is result-driven backfill.

Okay, this is legitimately very funny.

This is what passes for smart in the right wing ecosystem: "talk about prices, which hurts Trump? Or about Epstein, which hurts Trump? Checkmate, Libs!" Honestly, "but Clinton is in the files, too" was smarter than this.

Germany is building a conscription database. One might think that's bad news for Europe, but in context it's bad news for Russia. If Russia dumps Putin and decides that it belongs within its own borders, everything will be fine. If not, fine with me.

Line chart of median homebuyer. From just over thirty in the '80s, and under 40 after the Great Recession, it has now spiked to 59.

Median homebuyer is 59. Nobody who bought in the cheap lending era is giving up that rate. So only Boomers stepping down are selling. So supply is low, so prices are high, so only Boomers can afford to buy. We're stuck waiting for a generational exit.

I want there to be no coverage of Nuzzi. The penalty for her misconduct should be that she has no audience -- not that she's barred from one, but simply that nobody cares what she has to say.

The power to get this done isn't formally driven by Trump's popularity, but it totally driven by it. If he was at 55%, it would be done already. He's hanging onto 40% by his fingernails, so it's impossible.

The Murdochs had to sign off on this graphic. They're decided to try to be rid of him again.

Fascist movements always kick the Other.

Michael Flynn, DOJ in Settlement Talks Over $50 Million Claim The Justice Department has been discussing settlements with two former officials from Donald Trump’s first term who — like the president — claim they’re owed major payouts from the US government as vi...

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption

"We have sixty days to find a killer app for these AI models, or we're in violation of our lending covenants and you're all fired. So we're not leaving this room until we have a marketable product."

this LITERALLY raises more questions than it answers.

No one cares. This is media narcissism. Olivia Nuzzi needs to be the answer to a trivia question. (But Journalists hate that. The idea that they could lose their voice in the sense that there's just no audience that cares? Nightmare fuel.)

The minute he pardons her, he loses control. He does not trust her as far as he can throw her, and rightly so. He is doing to her what he tried to do to Eric Adams: condition her day to day circumstances on his whim.

Haha bullshit. Trump pardons people all the time before “all avenues of appeal have been exhausted.” I do not believe this statement by Maxwell’s lawyer for one second. He also still hasn’t told me who waived her sex offender status, or whether she intends to be furloughed outside the facility.

Miller needs to face the consequences of his words and actions. The laws for Treason demands it.

So… mortgage fraud?

NewsNation just dropped a jaw-dropping reel: Trump loyalists, including JD Vance and Kash Patel, on camera demanding the release of the Epstein files before Trump ever took office.
The same people now dodging questions once called transparency “essential.”

haven't seen a single congressional Democrat comment on the Trump administration's unprecedented designation of Antifa as foreign terror orgs

Antisemitism watchdog slams ADL’s ‘hyperbolic and aggressive’ response to Mamdani win Head of Nexus Project says ADL’s plan to ‘monitor’ mayor-elect for antisemitism deepens divisions and plays into far-right agenda

The head of an antisemitism watchdog has come out against the ADL and other groups for their “divisive, hyperbolic and aggressive response” to Zohran Mamdani’s election, warning that a combative stance towards the NY City mayor-elect is a gift to the far right.

After Trump nearly destroyed the US by mishandling COVID, inflation rose to nearly 9% under Joe Biden

Biden then fashioned the best economy in the world-and inflation dropped to 2.9%

Trump promised to lower costs “on day one”

But inflation is now 3%, and rising, because of-you guessed it-tariffs

Every single person on the Epstein list deserves a life long prison sentence without any chance for parole. I don't care what the predator's political party, political position, or religion is.

Release the list, prosecute each one of them, & send them to prison for the rest of their lives.

House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed" Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein provided the Justice Department with "precise and detailed" information about 20 alleged co-conspirators, House Democrats say.

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

NEW: US District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia has revoked Lindsey Halligan's US Marshal's access to the Alexandria courthouse. Halligan's appointment, based on a separate hearing today, appears in jeopardy.

Julie the propagandist, who has been adopted by Pam Bondi's administration, posted this before the Currie hearing yesterday.

Note, while it's surely something else I DID call the Clerk's office and ask how docs in the no-billed indictment got fixed.

I did not forget this. Jeffy Beau Secessions adopted norms of DOJ independence and Trump never forgave him.

These are the Whiteness police. They don't care where people came from. Their job is to violently reassert control of White-led institutions over people of color.
