“The COIN-operated Presidency” 🤡 @nytimes.com @karaswisher.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

a big sign that media wanted trump back in 2024 was the collective shrug at vance's close ties to the extremist right

elect rahm for president, for when you need someone to cover up the summary execution of a teenager by police www.wsj.com/politics/who...

The issue is Consultant Dems are reading the word "weak" in crosstabs and have figured out an answer: "pander to racists, but more thuggishly." They are not reading "strength" as "actually believe in human rights and make decisions based on that core tenet." The good news is the latter is winning.

Proof that a live action Angry Birds movie could work

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

Instead of accepting his role in electing Trump, he's jumping on the MAGA gravy train. Gonna sell books by trashing the Dems. Also isn't it a Dads job to instill values in their kids. If the Dems offer nothing for his son Tapper is the cause.

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

sure there are nazis, CSAM, insane bots, and racist slurs on twitter but they are mean to AI supporters on the other sites

@jaketapper.bsky.social is provably, demonstrably, unethical, sleazy, and prone to horrible decision making

today in objective journalism. imagine @jaketapper.bsky.social ever saying this about don jr or eric

There's a lotta concern about the short run (ie recession or not) implications of Trump's agenda. Dani is right to point to the long run as far far more consequential.

in addition to being brazenly unprincipled, this is evidence that the conservatives KNOW trump is a mad king, but still want to imbue him with royal authority — against the well-documented history and tradition of the united states — out of their blinkered devotion to a narrow ideological project

The line in Bush v. Gore that’s like “uhhh our holding applies to uhhh this election only,” but for the sake of the current conservative justices’ investment portfolios

NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives. Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate votes to block California's rule banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. #StatesRights

For everyone who said “We need to keep the filibuster to stop bad Republican bills!” the Republicans just casually nuked the filibuster to pass a bad bill they wanted.

The anti-Tesla movement is one of the most successful cases of social coordination in American history. In the span of six months the Tesla brand has been made radioactive. This isn’t a subjective view. You can see it in the data.

INBOX: Bloomberg publishes an “atlas” to the Trump family’s “money-making machine”: “.. In any other era, this scale of presidential moneymaking would threaten to be the story of the year, but political uproar has hogged most of the attention.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

RAMAPHOSA QUIPS: I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE A PLANE TO GIVE YOU.

Democratic Senator Brian Schatz questions RFK Jr. on DOGE using terms like "gender," "equality," and racial terms to cut medical funding for critical research and studies based on "DEI."

"Do these CNN people work on commission?"

Jon Stewart roasts CNN for their nonstop promotion of the Biden book.

the book hype will continue until sales improve

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

“you should have a choice” means “we get to choose for you”

This is how to treat Jake Tapper. www.showbiz411.com/2025/05/20/j...

CNN is pushing Tapper's book so hard, you'd think they work on commission

Incredible chart work. 🙏🏼 #90dealsIn90days

Counterpoint: Bribes. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/t...

the DOJ is literally **arresting Democratic members of Congress** and Senate Democrats are voting to pass Republican legislation

really wondering what the point of booker holding the floor for 25hr was if he's just gonna vote to advance trump's criminal nominees anyways

Class and dignity in everything.

Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles. I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc. Unprecedented levels of flop! www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-...

Khanna: "I appreciate that he's trying to get a deal with Iran. I don't like the fact that the biggest AI center, research center, is going to be in Dubai. I mean, what happened to America first? Why don't we put that center in Pennsylvania or in Ohio?"
