The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

POST THE BEST CRASHOUTS PLLLLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🥰

Fight. Win.

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

Mike Johnson: I Am Tuning Out the News Cycle to Focus on Self-Care Don’t ask me about the news. I am protecting my mental space.

STOP ASKING MIKE JOHNSON ABOUT THE NEWS! HE IS PROTECTING HIS MENTAL SPACE!

Asking kids to show their parents’ tax returns before I give out any candy. There’s a sliding-scale depending on household income. Thankfully we’re ensuring no one who can afford a tootsie roll gets a free one. The downside is that it takes 45 minutes per kid to determine whether they’re eligible.

I don't think incentivizing the insider trading administration to jack up volatility in everything is going to end the way they hope it will

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

I also spoke to one of the inflatable protesters, a very intimidating pachyderm

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

As my PhD student @mikesenters.bsky.social says, everything is gamergate (and these men from gamergate have been activated by the right). This is the tail of Bannon and Milo’s work beginning 2015…

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube.

It would be a shame for you to share it

Kimmel’s refusal to capitulate stands out because so many other well-situated people—those with the resources, platform, and power to stand up to the president, including, initially, the leaders of ABC—have surrendered, withdrawn, or become Trump sycophants themselves. One by one, American leaders supposedly committed to principles of free speech, due process, democracy, and equality have abandoned those ideals when menaced by the Trump administration. These cascading acts of cowardice from the people best positioned to resist Trump’s authoritarian power grabs have made Trump seem exponentially more powerful than he actually is, sapping strength from others who might have discovered the courage to stand up. Defending democracy requires a collective refusal to acquiesce to lawless behavior from many different sectors of society. All of these powerful people trying to save their own skin have effectively multiplied Trump’s attacks on constitutional government, by enhancing a false sense of inevitability and invincibility.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Noem simultaneously is demanding that politicians tone down their rhetoric about ICE while also saying that anyone who believes in due process is a supporter of terrorism.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

In private conversations in recent years, Trump has referenced the opening scene of the de Palma movie SCARFACE in discussing his claims that foreign governments are nowadays loading caravans and what not with criminally insane & violent people; no I’m not kidding

“They should accept it because they looked a little Mexican. It’s the price of a free society.”

Kavanaugh, J., concurring.

A good illustration of how traditional journalistic neutrality runs into trouble with Trump, these people are required to live in a Trumpist halluciniation that demands they invent and believe total fictions to remain in good standing bsky.app/profile/mmas...

The Friendly Nazis Next Door Everyone says that this new crop of American Nazis is really mean, but I, a white journalist, went out to talk to them for this profile, and they w...

Where @kashana.blacksky.app absolutely obliterates a certain kind of media profile...

Every Supreme Court Precedent Bows to the Principle of “Donald Trump Gets What He Wants” The conservative supermajority is willing to throw process out the window if their favorite president asks nicely.

I have no idea how law students are supposed take seriously anything they learn in constitutional law when the Supreme Court's entire approach to precedent and stare decisis is just "does Mister Trump want us to overturn it right now" ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

That is not a denial.

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

Questions for lawyers out there related to the Homan cash bag story.
Do you get to keep the money from a sting operation if they never charge you?
If Homan did keep it (Leavitt says he didn't), do you think he declared $50k on his taxes? Section 61 says income is income from whatever source derived

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

In the oral argument in the immunity case, Trump's lawyer's answer to the question, "What would be the check on the President just using his officers to break the law?" was, "People will not follow illegal orders."

We're about to find out whether that's true.

Apropos of very little:

I have a bunch of knowledge about navigating the healthcare/eldercare systems when a parent’s health is failing that I had to teach myself and I now have a compulsion to use to help others.

If anyone knows of, like, networks that one can plug into for volunteers, lmk.

Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children The state’s elimination of vaccine mandates is a courageous first step toward decluttering itself of any excess kids.

no price is too high to pay in this pointless war against lifesaving science!

"CBP arrested Retes for assault" is actually the first I've seen confirmation of which agency arrested George Retes

Retes was released w/o charges, said he was never told the charges against him & has still not been charged

Do you have more info on this? DM me or Signal is nicolefoy.27

Powell: "In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside -- a challenging situation."
