When Trump starts talking about having to “force” himself on the opposition, that’s not law-and-order language, that’s coercion language. You’ll notice how power slips into the vocabulary of domination when he wants obedience instead of consent.

Crime prevention isn’t something you “do” to people.

RFK brought out “The Gimp”.

First thought: Is this Josh Homme?”Second thought: “Is it Josh Homme!?”

Rep. Ted Lieu just went straight at the president over what he says is in the Epstein files.
That’s not the kind of thing you float unless you’re real sure of your footing, reputationally, legally, politically.

Budd Dwyer?

One of my favorites!!

“There go the goddamn brownies!”

Trump Can’t Steal the Midterms The case for being vigilant without panicking.

Gerrymanders? Already happening. Voter intimidation theater? Entirely possible. Ballot box conspiracy cosplay? Wouldn’t shock anyone.

But here’s the part the authoritarian aesthetic depends on you forgetting:

They need you to believe resistance is futile before a single vote is cast.

Passing a Constitutional amendment in this environment is just not gonna happen.

They spend what they need to and realize the importance of saving. They have to work for the allowance to be transferred to their Venmo card.

Hey, just don’t give Brando a stick of butter when you get there. IYKYK.

No more Epstein files will be released, DOJ tells Congress - UPI.com The Department of Justice said in a letter to Congress that it has released all the files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Department of Justice has now informed Congress that every last Epstein file that can be released has been released, which in the dialect of Washington, roughly translates to:

“We have conducted a thorough investigation into ourselves and have found nothing further we would like you to see. “

That…is the most bitingly accurate description of Elordi, I have ever read.

Oh yeah, same for dogs apparently…no idea why I brought up that comparison.

The SAVE Act won’t secure elections. It’ll just make citizenship something you have to re-earn every other November. (8/8)

Turns out making it harder for Americans to vote doesn’t just stop imaginary foreigners, it stops actual voters who don’t have a filing cabinet for their birth certificate from 1972. (7/8)

Nothing says “election integrity” like disenfranchising your own base because you confused immigration enforcement with a scavenger hunt at the county clerk’s office. (6/8)

States with the lowest passport ownership rates, Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, also tend to vote… Republican.

So the SAVE Act is basically a poll tax with a red-state friendly fire setting. (5/8)

Rural voters? The elderly? Working class folks? The same people who don’t live next to a passport office or have $165 lying around to prove they were born here?

Yeah, they’re about to discover the franchise now comes with paperwork and a processing fee. (4/8)

And here’s where it gets fun: millions of married women don’t have birth certificates that match their legal names.

So congratulations, you’ve just turned “I do” into “I can’t vote.” (3/8)

Because under SAVE, your driver’s license isn’t enough.
Your voter registration isn’t enough.
Your sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury isn’t enough.

No, now you need documentary proof of citizenship. A passport. Or a birth certificate that matches your current legal name. (2/8)

🧵 The SAVE Act is supposed to stop non-citizens from voting, which is already illegal, vanishingly rare, and punished like a bank heist. But what it will do is make millions of actual citizens prove they’re citizens like they’re checking into an airport in their own country. (1/8)

My brother, you speak no falsity in your statement.

The…fuck!?

Yeah, because if the roles were reversed he wouldn’t be “grieving wrong,” he’d be in an interrogation room while a panel of podcast guys explained how his tone felt off.

But when it’s her, suddenly everybody’s a body language expert with a YouTube channel.

Peter Thiel preaching about the future of humanity from the tech pulpit is like your landlord explaining oceanography because he once owned a fish tank.

CCTV footage: Looks like DHS agents pulled the old “can you help me with something?” routine, allegedly posing as folks with car issues to get their target to step outside before arresting him.

Which is less “serve and protect” and more Buffalo Bill asking you to help him load a couch into the van.

“Reverse racism” has always sounded like something someone came up with in the shower and then refused to workshop.

If a guy’s name shows up in the Epstein files more times than the word “the” in a Russian novel, and we’re still being told this was a tidy little solo exit… you’ll forgive some of us for not buying the IKEA flat-pack suicide kit theory.

Great recs!
