New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom. Alt title: Matt Yglesias is wrong about Democrats and Abrego Garcia🧵

watching CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD and had a chuckle thinking about the in-universe tell-all book about the aides who knew president ross was the hulk the whole time

Make me the Batman writer. I have a pitch where Nightwing’s long lost brother shows up and his name is Balls Grayson.

Gavin would gladly throw all of California under the bus to raise his Primary polling by a single point. Ironically he would also refuse to help California even though that would guarantee that he gained a point.

“We at the Democratic Party must strive to have a big tent. We shouldn’t turn away Elon Musk simply because he’s a neo-Nazi who tried to destroy our government and opposes everything we claim we want. But Ms Rachel and those dying children can fuck off!”

Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...

The same way a lot of people didn't realize how big the QAnon problem was until those fuckers literally stormed the capital, I fear we're a year or two away from a shocking discovery of just how many "seemingly normal" people have lost their minds "talking" with ChatGPT.

Anyone obsessed with releasing the Epstein files is telling on themselves. A lot of the victims have already come forward to share what happened to them. But the people who want some official document refuse to believe the victims’ firsthand accounts.

I finally figured it out: the new Fantastic Four looks like an Old Navy commercial

"The Catturd army"

its always super funny when the dems spring into action and get On Message: this time it's "stop paying attention to the president"

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

I've never wanted to create a fake Elon Musk account before...

More bad news for tech wunderkind Elon Musk - a photograph has recently surfaced that appears to show Elon associating with Epstein Files alumnus Donald J Trump

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

So many bangers today

the president wont see your cheap dunks against jeffery epstein . But your friends who have ties to state sponsored pedophilia will

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Chuck Schumer, Corey Booker and Hakeem Jeffries tonight.

Even as we speak, somebody is preparing their ‘It’s all very well enjoying the Trump/Musk feud but I, a serious person, remain focussed on the issues affecting society’ post. And that person needs kicking in the shins.

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

This is basically like Christmas morning for me, the guy who goes around posting "and this surprises you how?" under people's political tweets

A good start. Let’s keep escalating though

I ain't gonna pretend he is a perfect politician but it is truly buckwild remembering how a year ago this dude was turning the tide, calling the GOP creeps and calling out their weird behavior to great success and then all The Dem Machine made him shut up and keep doing the same old shit

I've hit season 5 of The Wire on a rewatch and wow does the whole plotline of a reporter that simply makes shit up and never gets called on it seem more than a little quaint 20 years later

“That child deserves our support,” @governorwalz.mn.gov continued. “Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

they would! they figure the more he hurts people, the less they'll have to do to win next time

being intimidated by bluesky is so funny. yeah i keep getting my ass kicked every time i go to bath and body works

So since union membership is the lowest it’s been in 100 years, we must be living in Abundance! Right?

The republicans are hiding this guy because he’s such a charisma vacuum, and he’s out here scoring layups on the DNC

Ah. So, all the attacks on Harvard are supposedly about stopping antisemitism on campus... but they need to hire a holocaust denier in the name of "diversity of viewpoints." Got it.

They don’t really believe this. If this was true, there would be no reason for his huge video game company to exist.

Hey remember how adding this guy to the ticket had the party base inarguably the most excited they ever were during the 2024 cycle

My two cents on Hakuho leaving #Sumo #相撲 Sumo 相撲 白鵬 #白鵬

donnie drumpf is too much of a chicken to sate my bloodlust with hyperviolence. this is all i dislike him for

man can i just wish for a dude to fuckin die is that okay with you guys. is that fine right now

If I can be real for a moment, what frightens me most right now is that David Brooks is more upset about Trump-Musk than many, maybe most, liberal pundits and Democratic leaders are.

The left: “This bill is destructive!” Democrats: “Shhh!” Elon (mad because it’s not destructive enough) “This bill is destructive” Democrats: “Elon, thank you. We may not agree on much but
