Reporters need to start following up along the lines of: "I didn't ask if you saw 60 minutes. I asked if it concerns you that Trump admitted to not knowing someone that he pardoned."

If Trump shoots someone in the middle of 5th avenue, as long as he discloses it, Comer thinks that's acceptable.

4. Can you cover the No Kings protests half as much as you did the tea party protests?

God the reporters that the White House allows into the room these days are all insufferable sycophants.

Leaked texts on Scott Bessent's phone suggest the White House got played bailing out Argentinaβ€”and U.S. soybean farmers are the casualties | Fortune β€œThis is highly unfortunate,” the text said. β€œSoy prices are dropping further because of it. This gives China more leverage on us.”

Good thing the Trump admin spent $20 billion bailing out Argentina... Who then removed their export taxes and began selling soybeans to China.

In the early days of social media, it did help movements against authoritarian regimes organize, but then the wannabe dictators caught on and started using it as a tool for surveillance and spreading divisive propaganda.

Especially when their definition of "hate speech" includes things like... *checks notes*... saying gay and trans people have rights.

Trump is literally declaring a civil war via social media.

I expect 0 congressional Republicans to say anything, Democratic leadership to write a strongly worded letter, and news media to tell us that we shouldn't use the "fascist" word.

Trump is going to start a war with Venezuela so he can use the Alien Enemies Act to circumvent all that due process stuff the courts have repeatedly said people are entitled to.

Remember when Republicans were claiming that the ACA had "death panels" that were going to deny care to seniors?

They just became the death panel.

What a stupid question from a literal fake news "reporter" and an equally stupid answer from the minister of propaganda.

I realize it's unlikely because they've probably done the math, but it would be such delicious karma if the Texas GOP's attempt at redistricting spreads their margins so thin that Trump's shitty job performance is enough to tip the balance so that instead of picking up 5 seats, they lose 5 seats.

She's complaining that she wants to indict people for wasteful contracts. Surely she'd be handing out those indictments if not for the DoJ memo that a sitting president can't be indicted... Right...?

The popularity has nothing to do with them being good literature and everything to do with giving selfish assholes a veneer of phony intellectualism.

Memecoin implies that it's a joke... I think we should call this a bribecoin because that's what it is, and unfortunately not a joke.

I'm confused by the USDA's involvement in the enforcement of title IX in any capacity, let alone Trump's weird discriminatory interpretation of a part of the law meant to fight discrimination.
