Steve Madden comes with the receipts on why tariffs do not work.

Just listened to the Hur interview tape and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Yeah ok, but did you hear Biden is old?

When will voters ever learn that the GOP is not the fiscally responsible party?

IT IS NOT AN IMMIGRATION CASE

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Why is the Daddy Party allowed to rant & rave & do impulsive, stupid shit & never, ever be held to account, while the Mommy Party is endlessly scolded & lectured & second-guessed by everyone, even when it is earnestly trying to do the right thing? Gosh. What a puzzler.

"Its only plagiarism if its a Black woman doing the writing, otherwise its just sparkling not-so-serious oopsies" Bill Ackman, 2024.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

That fear you have, that maybe even small decision to limit what you say or where you go, even for US citizens, it means we’re living under authoritarianism.

It can be true that both tariffs are bad and denying due process is also bad

Feels like any capable strategist would look at this and say “here’s an issue that is Trump’s main strength and he’s just given us an opportunity to obliterate that strength by *waaaay* overplaying his hand, let’s take it and run with it”

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process

Gonzalez: Are you on the side.. that sends them to foreign prisons without due process? No. I’m on the side of the fucking constitution

Bill Ackman joins the resistance

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

This means I now have negative 4 security clearances

Oh dear. I wasn’t kidding about the sorrows of poor Elise.

If Donald Trump was a Russian spy actively sabotaging the United States of America... what would he do differently?

I'm usually the first to say that presidents receive way too much credit and blame for economic conditions that they have little power to control or influence in the short-term. Not this time. This is 100% self-inflicted by the president and totally unnecessary.

I think we have to agree that JD is such a sniveling little bitch.

If you didn’t find today to be an absolute disgrace to the United States, I don’t recognize the country you want us to be.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

If Trump and Musk were trying to weaken the United States and sell it to its foreign enemies, how would they act any differently from the way they're acting now? Not at all, you say? Maybe you should wonder why that is.

Jennings: This salute trutherism is outrageous.  Rampell: Do it right now on TV! If you think it’s a normal way to greet people, do it right now on TV. Why won’t you?!

rampell is living my fantasy which is telling jennings to eat a dick (they will never let me on that panel show)

“We will execute drug dealers” and “I have just pardoned the man who made the largest illegal drugs market in world history” seem to be slightly contradictory.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

I cannot tell you how tired I am of this bullshit. Republicans nominated and voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Republican politicians endorsed him and refused to impeach him twice. Nearly every Democrat fought him every step of the way to protect democracy. Stop gaslighting us!

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

every single one of these guys is an incel loser who thought that being rich would make them popular and well-liked and when it didn't happen they lost their minds even further
