Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

Unreal. "Under the plea agreement which dismissed the felony charge of grand theft, former Glenn County sheriff's deputy John Sanzone agreed to return the $3,500 he stole from a homeless man who had been saving it for badly needed dental work."

Highlight from last night's focus groups with older, base but not fully activated, white women and Latinas: Moderator: What about a metaphor? What Trump is doing is like... Woman 1: Mafia Woman 2: No, they have a code of honor.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just corruptly commuted the sentence of Imaad Zuberi, a figure in the 2019 NYT bestseller Proof of Conspiracy. Below is an excerpt from one of the citations in that book... ...and it underscores that the Zuberi commutation should send up every red flag imaginable.

To be clear: CBS offered to pay 15 million to Trump for editing an interview with his opponent in a way that he didn’t like. The world has gone mad. (Also, shouldn’t Harris now sue Fox for their editing of Trump interviews that she didn’t like??)

What's so alluring about doing Trumpworld Kremlinology is that both "this is all kayfabe and Elon is pretending to step away for PR reasons" and "Stephen Miller executed a power play against Musk as revenge for fucking his wife" are both totally plausible and we have no way to know which is true

What I've learned since Trump took office again is that doing business with the United States government isn't worth the hassle because they can simply cancel your contract and any money you've already spent on the project goes up in flames.

The first thing you need to know about Elon Musk is that he’s a liar. And like Donald Trump, he doesn’t lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. He lies because it works. And he lies because when he’s caught, he generally suffers no discernible consequences.

Seems like a big deal. It would be nice if we had well-respected media that could contextualize this for the American electorate (before the RW media throws a bunch of shit against the wall to see what disinformation sticks)

We're all pretty used to the idea that our phones are listening to us, that algos know our preferences, and that ad companies have a very good idea of who we are and what we like Right now, they mostly use this to sell us stuff. We are on the cusp of them using it to do something very different

The Trump regime has gutted the govt; assaulted the constitution; apprehended immigrants off streets w/o due process sending them to foreign gulags; blown up alliances as economy hurtles towards uncertainty. Yet here is POLITICO fawning over his media appearances while throwing shade at Biden.
