Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

once again, "the supreme court will act as a bunch of partisan republican hacks" is the single most accurate heuristic for predicting its behavior, putting any coherent legal theory to shame

Itโ€™s true. We shouldnโ€™t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against Americaโ€™s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes "Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they wonโ€™t be able to do, rather than what theyโ€™d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldnโ€™t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Asked for comment by Sky News, the IDF responded: "Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them.
"Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the suspects in order to remove the threat."

Brentford win 3 straight Premier League home games for the first time since Dec 2024.

Igor Thiago got his 10th & 11th league goals of the season, the quickest a Brentford player has hit double figures in a top-flight campaign (13 games).

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

You're right, it's my fault the elected Democratic senators folded. My anger at their lack of will to fight made them so sad that they lost their will to fight.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itโ€™s about peopleโ€™s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
