Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

people are getting disappeared, innocent men sent to foreign gulags, the civil service hollowed out, thousands left to die without foreign aid, and schumer is saber rattling about iran. these people make me fucking sick.

What state has the most Republicans? California. What state has the second most Democrats? Texas. The Red State/Blue State dichotomy does a lot more to "other" than it does to inform.

Hey would be really cool if people stopped trying to murder American Jews.

"According to three witnesses who spoke to NBC News, a tank fired on Palestinians crowding around an aid distribution center near Rafah." www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Read this horrifying testimony from Israel's massacre of people just trying to get food:

Sorry, you need to have a PhD in middle eastern history in order to be able to say if this is bad or not

Happy Pride month!! 🏳️‍🌈

While we’re on founding fathers, I think people actually *underrate* the Gothic horror of Jefferson and Sally Hemings. She was his slave, she was also his dead wife’s much younger half sister as a result of Jefferson’s father in law raping *his* slave.

just checking in on the president before bed… he just reposted some qanon brain rot about how joe biden was secretly executed in 2020 and replaced with a clone and/or robot 👍

Hey instead of upending wheelchairs to see if people are scamming you why don’t you try to get the film industry back in this country or better yet fall in a big smooth-walled hole

jared polis and gavin newsom both clearly think they can be president and also clearly have the worst advisors and donors whispering in their ears that the key is to simply do really horrible shit and betray their voting base.

This is what the Matt Yglesias theory of politics gets you. Even if he's right that it wins you more elections, it doesn't end up mattering

“This is Megha Vemuri. After dedicating her speech to the liberation of Gaza yesterday, MIT banned her from today's graduation ceremony. #FreePalestine”

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

democrats should be talking all the time about the republican obsession with childrens genitals, women's wombs, and their love of corruption and crime. but irl democrats think theyre going to get millions of people to vote because of sleep inducing arguments about kitchen table economics

During the pandemic, the US implemented the most effective social welfare policies in our history -- programs that worked because they were big enough, simple, and universal. And then we withdrew them. This remains imo the central economic-policy story of our times. davisvanguard.org/2025/05/3hou...

these numbers are a decent indication that the whole "the left is ostracizing young men" thing is, if not entirely fictional, at least very overblown

Deeply looking forward to watching Gavin Newsom’s national political ambitions eat shit over the next couple years

We now live in a country where the President can personally threaten a 16-year-old girl in the morning and by the afternoon a Democratic state will agree to target and segregate her from her peers for the crime of being transgender.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

“Reuters examined the data from the Gaza Health Ministry to look more closely at those who have died. It found that more than one-fifth of those killed in the territory were children under the age of 12. More than 1,200 families were completely wiped out”

responses to yglesias, ranked broke: how dare you throw trans ppl under the bus woke: popularists are selective by issue bespoke: popularists make specific predictions (eg, dems talking abrego will backfire bc trump "owns" immigration) that are wrong; agenda optimization comes off insincere

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

It's Miles Davis' birthday. A man of unparalleled sauce. A career that spans collaborations with Charlie Parker all the way to Prince. Listen to Kind of Blue or My Funny Valentine or Nefertiti or Relaxin' or Filles de Kilimanjaro or In a Silent Way or Dark Magus or Jack Johnson or Porgy an #JazzSky

Rahm loves to talk about how tough he is and yet I find curiously few media discussions with him where the name Laquan McDonald comes up

lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there
