CONFIRMED: Neri Alvarado, the Venezuelan man imprisoned by the Trump admin without due process for 4 months in El Salvador because of bureaucratic errors stemming from his autism awareness tattoo honoring his brother, is FREE.

NEW statement from Dow Jones, the parent company of The Wall Street Journal:

"We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit."

I’m looking forward to Stephen Colbert sharpening his knife over this year to show the capitulating Paramount what free speech is all about.

Brenden Dilley is a genuine psychopath. I highly doubt he’ll be reasonable unless you threaten legal action.

@tizzyent.bsky.social @tizzyent.bsky.social any chance you can help me? I’m getting doxxed on X over a screenshot of an email that I have absolutely nothing to do with. It’s from a proton mail address and I have never owned an android.

If you voted for Trump and depend on safety-net programs, congrats—you voted against yourself.

SAY IT PLAIN: ‘Overhauling’ means cuts.

📌 Trump’s advisers and Republicans are already planning to slash Medicaid, food stamps, and more to pay for Trump’s massive tax cuts.

the idea of endlessly commentating on these evil, rancid, huckster monsters as they strip everything valuable in the US for parts every day for possibly the rest of my life makes me want to go hide in a cave and cultivate knowledge of the orphic mystery cult

Same. It’s shameful.

As a GenXer I am embarrassed for my generation

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

🤩

Over/under on when they 25th Amendment Tr*mp and install JD V*nce?

The cutting irony is that the two big things Kamala supposedly “broke” and that Trump will “fix” - inflation and border crossings are…already fixed! He doesn’t have to do anything! All done!

Ducked over to Twitter for a sec and saw I've lost 50k followers in a week, so it seems a lot of people are finally shitcanning their accounts there.

i think my position on this is that if it happens, it's unconstitutional. if the supreme court affirms it, it's still unconstitutional. it's an illegitimate and unlawful action and should be treated as such.

I’m glad to be here.

It’s genuinely impressive how this site has recovered after the drop in users caused by the Bluesky Strangler

I did my doctoral dissertation (1986) on the idea of a public informed by the press.

I'm not sure that idea survives this.

any court vacancy that exists as of 1/1/2025 is a massive failure

Why some Democrats want to create their own Joe Rogan after Trump’s win The popular podcast played host to Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance in final moments of the 2024 election

We'll never find a single Lefty Joe Rogan, but we surely could exploit the fragmentation media with more, smaller properties that speak credibly to our communities of interest that they could then use to drive votes for Democrats who support their issues, and hold Democrats accountable who do not.

seriously if there any durable goods you want/need and can afford to buy now, you should go for it.

Completely insufficient demand. The demand should be: "Fill all vacancies. Blue slips, tight schedule be damned."

After all, Amy Coney Barrett was nominated, vetted, confirmed in 30 days. Plenty of time to fill ALL openings.

Glad to follow you here! I loved your content on *the other place.*

Thank you for this!!!
