…and backed straight into my old wardrobe.

Gotta get those fresh rows!

I suspect that’s the point: trap everyone on the sinking ship.

It’s almost like the twice-impeached, convicted sexual predator, and his Republican conspirators, want to tank the U.S. economy in order to really get the 1930s Germany cosplay underway.

Agreed. I wonder if referring to it as just “crime” would be a step in the right direction?

If corporations are people, then people should go to prison.

The Boy Genius Who Killed 14 Million Poor People What is the moral weight of responsibility for the men who carried out DOGE’s work?

i think i disagree with the idea that the ferritor should have been allowed to follow his own path during his schooling, neglecting assignments and being coddled for his apparent genius. i think, in fact, that this was the problem. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-boy-ge...

He’s taking the piss, right?

Cuz “make their kids elite at reading and writing” might be the dumbest combination of words I’ve seen outside of the executive branch.

"How can we communicate with optimism about the future … when we're living in the here and now where American democracy is in peril? … And we're supposed to ignore it? Leave it to others to wrestle with …? No no no no no. …

"That is tonight's Last Word on my last day at the Washington Post."

If you’ve got one, chuck it out posthaste.

If you want a security system, buy a real one.

The way people will numb their consciousness for the sake of convenience will always amaze me.

There’s a brand of political thinker (call them “normie optimists”) that reflexively treats this all as ephemeral.

“Just wait for the midterms. Focus on the right messaging and win those swing districts.”

I just want to stare at them and say “Emil Bove has been confirmed to a lifetime judgeship.”

You may be wondering what the Senate is up to tonight… or what a rescissions bill is… or how Donald Trump is trying to gut public media and important foreign aid. Let me explain it to you.

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like.

I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.

Correct.

The common tactic we can see in the last ten years is that mixed-race politicians who claim Black international/ or African heritage are "not really Black" -- so as to dissuade Black Americans from supporting them.

See Obama, Harris, Mamdani.

Clockwork. Nasty work.

Wild that this is a “scandal” when there’s a convicted felon in the White House. 🙄

adjudicating this case. But if this Court wishes to permit the Government to flout the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Due Process Clause, it cannot avoid accountability for that lawlessness by tasking the lower courts with inventing a rationale. The Court's continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions in this case, even as it faults lower courts for failing properly to divine their import, is indefensible. "In a democracy, power implies responsibility. The greater the power that defies law the less tolerant can this Court be of defiance. As the Nation's ultimate judicial tri-bunal, this Court, beyond any other organ of society, is the trustee of law and charged with the duty of securing obedience to it." Mine Workers, 330 U.S., at 312 (Frankfurter, J., concurring in judgment). This Court continues to invert those principles. Today's order clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial. Respectfully, I dissent.

Justice Sotomayor: "Today's order clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial."

Anytime the conversation starts with “so I was talking with ChatGPT this morning about this,” I want to vomit.

They’ve gotta be taking the piss.

If not, I’m about to start a series on “water-based” hygiene.

Did The NYT Pitchbot write this and how much is TNYT getting paid to ignore the current occupant of the White House?

This shouldn’t be so hard.

The first time I heard it, we were driving back from Stonehenge and had BBC radio on. They were talking about break-in’s and one caller said they were recently “burgled senseless.” I died.
