Here’s your recurring reminder that Trump does not have the unilateral authority to ban US companies from providing services to the ICC chief prosecutor (and Microsoft and its 1,000 lawyers know this).

Someday someone will write a history of the Trump administration that consists entirely of graphs that suddenly go unexpectedly vertical.

WOW. Breaking news from ABC that has the potential to cast serious doubts on today’s indictment of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

Unfortunately on here it’s a badge of honor to be proudly incurious about this stuff. It’s a real shame. If the water stuff was actually true, I would way *less* worried about AI’s social effects: it would cost more, be more expensive, and likely be more thoughtfully used.

It is weird and a problem to have a problem president who is completely divorced from his admins own policy actions. Except on tariffs, I guess.

Trump just reposted on TruthSocial that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced by "clones, doubles, and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities."

REPORTER: When could the administration resume interviews for foreign students visa? TRUMP: On what? REPORTER: Foreign student visas TRUMP: For the French? REPORTER: All the foreign students TRUMP: What are you referring-- foreign visas for what?

Your periodic reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - dating back through torture to Iran-Contra to Watergate all the way back to 1865 - is because there are never any actual consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.

After 19 months of genocide, a U.S. newspaper tiptoes towards the truth

BREAKING: FDA says covid boosters now only for those over 65 or with preconditions. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

the moral and creative vacuousness of having AI generate this stuff is less surprising to me than the prevalence of people who use AI constantly without the slightest understanding of its limitations

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

When the Mormons invent their own Shen Yun they can just copy the "5,000 Years of Civilization Reborn" tagline exactly.

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

I feel as if making Stephen Miller the National Security Advisor could result in us all dying in a really innovative and non-cliched way. Like not a Tom Clancy disaster but like some kind of John Kennedy Toole way where our demise is the manifestation of incel inadequacy

they are literal segregationists apnews.com/article/scho...

Jesus Christ, man

This administration is rushing to create an actual, technical dark age for future historians and scholars. I can't think of a punishment serious enough to fit the magnitude of the crime

is this dark woke?

destroying everything they can in a fruitless effort to find the wokeness button

So, basically, the real plan is to invade Panama. “The officials cautioned that a U.S. invasion of Panama is unlikely and would only come under serious consideration if a larger American military presence in Panama does not achieve President Donald Trump’s goal of reclaiming the waterway.”

The question is settled, this is going to funnel money to quacks and grifters to create a CDC-approved fake "study" that supercharges vaccine misinformation. It's not just a public health failure, it's a terrorist attack on public health.
