This isn't correct. Kugler was only appointed to fill the remainder of Lael Brainard’s term, which expires in January 2026. So she's only stepping down a few months early.

Trying to figure out why Jake bothered positioning Norman as a "hardline conservative" as if being conservative has anything to do with covering for Trump's bad behavior.

The absolute best.

im like the 5000th person to make this point but its nuts that we're in a spot where bill kristol is more willing to say trump is a pedo than hakeem jeffries is

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:

- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval

truly insane that while the NY times was trying to beat chris rufo the the scoop on mamdani's SAT scores, the murdoch owned wall street journal was uncovering evidence of trump's close ties to the leader of an elite pedo ring

Also let’s note that JD Vance has the kind of Christian who thinks you should apologize for saying “bullshit” but not for lying about a group of immigrants stealing and eating pets in order to fan the flames of immigrant-hate.

Transgender bathroom bill added to Texas flood-relief special session None of the 82 bills proposed Monday, the first filing day of the forthcoming special session, were actually flood-related, according to KXAN-TV, NBC’s Austin affiliate.

has anyone noticed yet that texas is going to pass anti-trans and anti-abortion bills as a part of their flood response

A lot of institutions have failed in recent years. Can't recall one that has repeatedly stabbed itself in the face the way the WP has.

Tedious to point this out, but:

- When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story.

-Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

This is actually extremely noteworthy.

A siting U.S. senator is suggesting here that two Trump judges in Washington have been unjustifiably blocking a contempt proceeding into DOJ and Emil Bove until he can secure a lifetime appointment and become untouchable.

Sounds very sinister when you put it that way, but he has a point.

Russell Vought is a fanatic. But he's in charge now. But please don't call him "budget chief" going "rogue". The man is on a bizarre, quasi-religious mission to bring down the entire US government. He is a dangerous, dangerous man.

It’s so fucking crazy that in the closing weeks of the election that Trump’s former chief of staff called him a fascist AND tapes of Jeffrey Epstein saying he was Trump’s closest friend were released—but neither story was considered a major scandal.

Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."

An email from Yaakov Roth to Erez Reuveni and others describing that PADAG "advised DHS last night that the deplaning of the flights that had departed US airspace prior to the court's minute order was permissible under the law and the court's order."

Emil Bove said under oath that he never ordered DOJ lawyers to blow off Judge Boasberg's order.

That was a dodge. Erez Reuveni showed smoking gun proof that Bove ORDERED DHS to ignore Boasberg's order.

Imagine. If. Biden. Had. Done. This.

Kind of love it that Trump thinks he took an IQ test when it was actually a senility/dementia exam

The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

And yet, one of the oldest tricks in the book.

Petty, punitive actions that are created by administrative, loopholes and timing. Every small town law enforcement officer knows this maneuver.

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

In 1996 Al Gore caught hell for making fund raising calls from a White House phone!

Many of the world's problems are not STEM problems.

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.
