“We refuse to pay the troops and also we’re doing indiscriminate firings of people for no reason”

I’ve never seen an administration so faithfully committed to self-immolation in my entire life

Lots of excitement over SB 79—understandably. I would add, every single bill California YIMBY sent to the governor was signed today. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/10/g...

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Their interview, described in a federal lawsuit filed last week by Mr. Driscoll and two other recently fired senior FBI officials, began with benign questions about the gravest threats to the nation and possible adjustments to the FBI's structure, but then took a swerve: Who had Mr. Driscoll voted for? When did he start supporting President Donald J. Trump? And had he voted for a Democrat in the past five elections? He declined to answer those three, noting to the 29-year-old attorney and former podcaster that the questions were inappropriate and potentially violative of the Hatch Act. Mr. Ingrassia asked another question that would in the ensuing weeks take on greater significance: Did Mr. Driscoll think the FBI agents who had "stormed" Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 should be held accountable? Mr. Driscoll said no, since they had been executing legal search warrants.

One way of thinking about the Trump administration is that the worst people in American government are pushing out the best people in American government

Kind of a big deal

The cabinet meetings are no different than every "bros sitting on a couch" podcast

“.. the first time a Republican governor has questioned the interstate deployment of National Guard troops over a governor’s objections.”

It takes 67 Senators to impeach a SCOTUS justice but only 51 with sufficient will to add 6 more justices

This headline 🤣🤣🤣

Reptar!?

no I think Trump v US was pretty much the killing blow and it's just a matter of making the normies, including the electeds, understand that

Well, helps to read the article, but I think after Amy McGrath and Jaime Harrison raised a total of 220 million dollars and then lost by double-digits in no-hoper campaigns, it's a reasonable question to ask whether those kinds of candidates are a good idea.

a way to understand Bari Weiss’ ascendance is that capital absolutely does not want to “turn down the temperature” on culture war, au contraire they understand culture war to be their most successful media project and want more more more.

Marco Rubio whispers into Donald Trump's ear.

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

This is the lesson of 2025

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

Jeffries: "Mike Johnson and this group continue to cover up for the pedophiles. That's crazy."

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers. Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

@evanhill · 11m Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Portland Frog:

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

It nags at me that people are dancing around the fact that one reason centre-right think-tanks are in an intellectual crisis moment is because we've spent over a decade where lots of their ideas were tried out and didn't pan out as advertised.

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

My wife and I met at a wedding, remained loose acquaintances on it for a year or two, she asked me out via a DM because of my Skill at Posting. This is an outlier case

I just got done watching the Ken Burns Civil War stuff and this game would have made me pick up AC for the first time

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction
