There should be no punditry on the news. Just anchors and experts.

Elon Musk and Stephen Miller both tweeted against judges today.

A South Carolina judge's house burned down and almost killed her family.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

How can 78% of Americans want the ACA tax credits extended, but only 27% approve of Dems handling of the shutdown? Could it be the way pollsters ask questions? Is it propaganda? A corporate media issue? A messaging problem?

Absolutely bonkers how excited I was when mine came in first.

seeing bluesky get more upset about a bad PR move by the website’s owner than the occupation of major american cities and people getting shot in the streets is making me want to throw up

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

border patrol shot a woman in chicago plain daylight and that story is getting less traction on here than folks making mildly transphobic jokes about kristi noem being denied a bathroom

liberal snark is an infestation

SIX MONTHS.

Dead lolol

I'm listening to the new Taylor Swift album & enjoying my Friday, as my conscience is clean because I voted for the Black lady who didn't threaten to kill everyone in the Middle East on a random Friday to cover up for troops in American cities, a depressed economy, & charges of pedophilia.

100% but also applying for special dispensation re: Kid Rock fans.

Now that “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is over, will Amazon finally let someone adapt various Joan Rivers biographies into a long running miniseries?

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

How dare you

The thing that bothers me so much is not the “we have to enforce our borders and laws.” We do.

It’s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate.

Always punching down

“Doodoo rice soup cake” is SENDING ME

The next time Mike Johnson lies that he hasn’t seen the latest Trump screwup that the rest of the nation is discussing, the TV anchor should just quietly say “that’s ok, not everyone follows politics.”

Utter and complete

This is the best thing I’ve read all day. 💙

You and me both, my friend. I have relayed this tidbit many times to many friends. My jaw dropped when I was reading it the first time.

This this this this this a billion times!

People who spend a lot of time talking about Democrats meeting the moment after they themselves failed to meet the moment on November 5th, 2024.

You should have posted about his recent job working for blackwater as a mercenary. Be honest about his record and his past.

He did this last time too. On top of America being misogynistic and racist America is also very stupid and suffering from extreme memory loss. I don't even understand how these people can even say the shit that they say and forget about what they went through the first term. It's crazy.

Not gonna lie, this makes me unexpectedly emotional. After 15+ years as a working NYC playwright, with dozens of productions & scheduling near misses & pleading press agents, not to mention 5 published books, this is the *first* time anything I've written has gotten any coverage in the NYTimes.

When I read this, I went on Libby. They don’t have Mary but they do have The Nestlings, so I put that on hold. Then I went to chirp.com and bought the audiobook of Mary. Thank you!

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then
