The phrase “who is responsible for the deaths of st least 9.4 million people” should appear inside commas every time the names of Musk, Vought, Trump and Rubio are mentioned. They perpetrated a mass slaughter.

The Cabinet this week
*RFK Jr. bragged about snorting cocaine off of a toilet seat
*Lutnick acknowledged taking his family to Epstein island
*Bondi “The Dow” / refuses to look at victims
*Noem blanket
*Hegseth loses to Kelly, tries to tweet through it
*Bessent “tariffs don’t cause inflation”

a reporter could get trump to confess to everything by asking him if he just wasnt famous enough to go to the island, just say youve heard he “never had the juice”

I didn’t even know that I needed this but I really really did. 🥹✊🏾

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

New StarTalk episode I did with @chucknicecomic.bsky.social and Neil Tyson just dropped.

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

Genuine question: why don't I see NYT and WaPo reporting of the six men in the files named by Raskin and Massie on the house floor? Guardian is running with them, why not NYT?

“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience

McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.

Our “president “ is such a cruel lying bastard.

On a day with so much awfulness just taking a moment to note with admiration a dignified leader

Again, if you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

But I think we could respond to ex-mil people that knocking people down, zip tying them and carting them off to Cropper and Bucca happened plenty in Iraq. Nothing war crimey about it. The affect of the 'operator' is what ICE goons aspire to and GWoT provides the template.

Coraline?

I'm very sorry to read of the death of David Gelber in the latest Literary Review. He was my editor there and we had struck up a friendship over email. We were planning to meet in the new year. A warm, generous, perceptive and principled man.

nobody has ever been more cucked than pro-Trump China hawks.

man has the spiritual presence of mucus

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else.

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

Imagine working for this paper lol

hello. longtime reporter here. also nyt subscriber. this piece is a credulous, lazy crock.

Finally, the balance of equities and public interest favor a stay. The Government does not cite any reason termination must occur post haste. Secretary Noem complains of strains unlawful immigrants place on our immigration-enforcement system. Her answer? Turn 352,959 lawful immigrants into unlawful immigrants overnight. She complains of strains to our economy. Her answer? Turn employed lawful immigrants who contribute billions in taxes into the legally unemployable. She complains of strains to our healthcare system. Her answer? Turn the insured into the uninsured. This approach is many things—in the public interest is not one of them

this is a good one storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For once, David French is making sense. He writes about serious threats to the mid-term elections from Trump. Gift article. Please read and pass it on/reskeet.

Nick Adams Tweet I am settling in for a showing of 'Melania' and the theater is PACKED! Earlier, a bystander asked if I was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead in my tracks. "Avatar? No, son," I curtly replied. "l don't watch woke movies. I'm here to see the groundbreaking documentary about our incredibly talented First Lady" The man's two little girls began jumping up and down, pulling on his sleeve, and begging, "Daddy, we want to see Melania!" "But. But.." he stammered, "I thought you girls wanted to see Zootopia 2?" "No, no, NO," they said, now nearly shouting. "We want to see Melania!! She is the most beautiful First Lady Ever!”

Nick Adams Tweet: Their father was scrambling, stressed out, and disoriented. "Girls, I'm afraid you aren't the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife," I said, kneeling to get on their level. "Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it's been sold out for days." Tears began to well up in their eyes. "But." I said in a hushed tone, "l happen to have a few extra tickets with me, and I'd like you and your dad to have them." They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile.

Nick Adams Tweet: I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. "Raise these girls right," I whispered. "Teach them to be classy conservative women of faith like Melania, don't let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?" He hugged me and thanked me profusely. "What are you going to do now?" He asked. "Don't worry about me, son," I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. "I've already got tickets to the next showing"

I’m sorry but nobody does it like Nick Adams. Hang this up in a museum.

Sorry to sound snarky but this would be a better cover if the grouping were more plausible.
