I mean, if they were true to their word, they'd call for his impeachment, but they're just going to roll over and play dead

1. Release the Epstein files!

2. The Epstein files are sitting on my desk and I will release them very soon

3. There are no Epstein files and the case is closed

4. There are Epstein files but they are forgeries created by Obama and Hillary so if you like me you will never talk about them again

No.
You need to pick one.
That's the law.

"Essential to grasping the cultural/political salience of football on the left during the Harris–Walz campaign is the relationship between Swift and Chiefs’ star tight end Travis Kelce." @bassab1.bsky.social in ‪@journsporthist.bsky.social‬ on @projectmuse.bsky.social‬ : muse.jhu.edu/pub/34/artic...

We talked to 12 independent voters who support Trump about whether Taylor Swift is still hot and Bruce Springsteen's skin is too dry and "86" means "kill" or just "get rid of" and how important the issue of Joe Biden's mental acuity will be in 2028. Patty, a dermabrasion specialist from Tulsa, says

And his bday! Yesterday I think!

Warners Reverses Course: Changes Max’s Name Back to HBO Max WBD CEO David Zaslav announced the move, with the company declaring, "no consumer today is saying they want more content, but better content."

i am endlessly amused by the ongoing story of David Zaslav: America’s Worst CEO www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

David Zaslav was paid $51.9 million last year.

"Well, there went my shoe business" permanently ingrained in my mind

Every time I hear “Chicago pope” I think it’s either a new Martin Scorsese film or I look for Christine Lahti.

Tim Naftali's tweet on the termination of the HAC members without cause.

Unhappy to confirm that the entire Historical Advisory Committee at the State Department received termination notices this afternoon (myself included). The HAC, set up by Congress, oversees the office that produces the FRUS series. history.state.gov/about/hac/in... 1/

Trump shut down program to end human waste backing into Alabama homes, calling it 'illegal DEI' A $26 million federal program to help residents of Lowndes County, Alabama, who have dealt with inadequate sewage systems for decades was stopped by an executive order.

Former President Biden launched a $26 million program to help Alabamans who have dealt with raw sewage and human waste ruining their homes and making them ill for decades.

President Trump ended the program through an executive order describing it as "illegal DEI."

Jalen wins and then he wins again.

"This play runs two hours and forty-five minutes with no intermission."

So not to be an alarmist or anything, but if Pete Hegseth was their FIRST choice, can you imagine what his replacement might be like?

I assume all of these folks who are crying foul over the JD-killed-the-Pope memes are strong proponents of due process.

Does Kristi Noem realize that without her passport, she won't be able to vote?

Between Greg Abbott's desire to see as many children die on his watch and Ken Paxton's goal of committing as many crimes as possible in office, I often forget that Dan Patrick is almost as vile.

Quite a lineup. Are Texans just masochists who hate themselves?

I do love a country that is not to be reckoned with.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

This is what judges should be doing right now.

If the Trump administration is going to insist that it can’t bring back anyone once they’re removed, then federal judges should put the brakes on any and all removals until the *full* legal process—to ensure the removals are valid—has run its course.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Why would you expect WH to know?

I feel like a lot of ordinary Americans who are numb to "They are unspeakably cruel and evil" are maybe surprisingly NOT numb to "They are a bunch of incompetent dolts who don't know what they're doing."
