The Federalist society wants a return to the original constitution in which women had no voting rights. Meanwhile the Heritage Foundation plays the same tune in a slightly different key arguing that massive voter fraud exists (it doesn't) and is attacking other rights including workplace protection

Looks like RFK Jr. Stadium now

Maybe this is why he hates Black people. It all comes down to the dozens.

Some quick-fire yo mama jokes had him crying to his actual mama.

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

One immediate winner to emerge from the encounter has been Jack Posobiec, a far-right podcaster and activists who was recently credentialed as a member of the White House press pool. As Mr. Trump and Mr. Mamdani fielded questions from reporters, Mr. Posobiec, pressed the mayor-elect on his campaign policy proposals, asking whether Mr. Mamdani intended to increase property taxes for “white people” in New York City.

What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

Everything wrong with political journalism in one graf. This is not a policy proposal that exists but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone “won” by asking it bsky.app/profile/larr...

Just a PSA to the men out there who are mad about not getting what they want in this world: Being a man is like playing life on easy or at most normal difficulty, you need to get your shit together, the world is not against you because you're a man

YouTube video by Global News Cameras capture BC sea wolf raiding crab traps in first possible ‘tool use’

Heiltsuk First Nation set up video cameras to investigate why crab traps were being damaged. Cameras captured a sea wolf pulling a buoy with its mouth. Then it pulled the attached line to bring up the trap and opened it to eat the contents.

Possibly learned from watching the traps being set

Secretary Kennedy has spent his time in office spreading doubt about vaccines.

Now measles is back.

He is a threat to our health and must be fired immediately.

The Reuters article is more illustrative than the headline of course, but “DOGE doesn’t exist anymore” is a misleading premise because more than 100 former DOGErs have become deeply embedded in federal agencies to generally fuck around with our data and arbitrarily disrupt budgets.

what the fuck is this delegation

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

the economic success of the U.S. is significantly built on the land grant universities and in particular their excellent agricultural science tradition.

(1/X) A quick thing about the Heritage "uproar"To recap: Tucker Carlson did a softball interview with a Nazi and the head of Heritage wrote a defense of it filled with antisemitic dog whistles.

The "uproar" is like two people quit and someone criticized in National Review. Not much...

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

how did they settle on this number? was there a meeting where it was like 'well anybody can try to traffic people for sex thirteen, fourteen times, that's just normal. sixteen? dubious. and seventeen is right out'

The Nuzzi story is in this sense the Epstein story, & the J6 story, & the Supreme Court protests story, & the Palestine protests story, & the BLM story, & the MeToo story: that much of what we consider liberal media believes in Wilhoit conservatism as strongly & unhesitatingly as any Trumper

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

And whether it’s continuing to use his social media platform or passing along his wild fantasies and fabrications unchallenged, huge swaths of the press still grant him legitimacy.

Putin's in a hurry. His economy is crumbling around him. He's running out of troops and ammunition.

every year, hundreds of people log on to tell the rest of us that they elect people who cannot cook to make arguably the most important dinner of the year. i'm sorry you had a fucked up life, but i didn't.

Crypto Crash Is Eroding Wealth for Trump’s Family and Followers In President Donald Trump’s second term, crypto assets transformed his family’s wealth. Now the Trumps — and their followers — are getting a crash course in the wild volatility ingrained in digital cu...

Any speculator who bought Trump’s memecoin at its peak after it was announced inauguration weekend would have lost almost the entire value of their investment by this month.

Precisely my point.

If there are more Senators who support Ukraine, then it is more likely you can impeach on a Russia sell out, bc you have the numbers where you need them.

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
