I am being so very entertained by all the Trump fans who are just finding out that both Star Wars and Bruuuuce are “woke.” My dudes, if it took Andor and Bruce’s speech to realize whose side you’re on then you really need your “are we the baddies” moment.

Put aside the stunning corruption of a $400m personal gift from a foreign govt - am old enough to remember we demolished the Moscow US Embassy because it was crawling with bugs and impossible to secure. They’re going to take a 747 from a foreign government to be used as Air Force One? WTF?

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Since people seem confused about who is entitled to due process and who is not: “No *person* shall be … deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”

Wow. Pete Hegseth just texted me the galley proofs for “The Winds of Winter.”

This is Abu Ghraib II. The stain on America will be of that magnitude.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Every March at @TPM we hold an annual membership drive which kicks off tomorrow. If you're not already a member I hope you'll join for all the benefits and to support our work. I also want to reiterate our invitation to every recently fired civil servant to a free membership.

@nytimes.com needs to gin up some gumption and get @nytwirecutter.bsky.social off the Amazon teat. It's a matter of journalistic integrity. They're in bed with Bezos - who's quashing fair and open journalism every damned day - so they can get their thirty pieces of silver.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

The juxtaposition is delicious. “We are telling you we can’t do anything and you should call the Republicans but don’t you dare say we are standing by passively” Stop asking for money until you fight back.
