The most absurd thing about this is that Maher was like "Wow, Trump in person isn't the angry, mean, divisive demagogue we see on TV! Guess he isn't that bad!" A rational person would have the exact opposite conclusion: that it's alarming that a gracious host would be so inhumane and destructive.

It's really something. People are so pissed and hungry for leadership that they're turning it in droves to see Bernie and AOC and Tim Walz, and then you have Gretchen Whitmer hanging out in the oval office and John Fetterman insulting people for speaking up.

Just look at this pile of soulless grifters. "Creating and multiply financial resources for Kingdom impact."

SSA's exclusive public communication channel is a glitchy, shitty, ugly, unpleasant app overrun by Nazis and other assorted cranks and weirdos

If one is confident in the cogency one's beliefs, one will engage with contradictory beliefs and seek to disprove them. If one is is not confident in the cogency of one's beliefs, one will attempt to wipe out any mentions of contradictory beliefs.

"Mr. Burns, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?"

Seems that a defining feature of the MAGA grievance world is that anything that requires a little extra effort is dumb and therefore must end. Communicating in any language but English, making cars more efficient, not dumbing garbage everywhere, getting a vaccination, generating power cleanly

The thing about all this stupidity is that these Republican-backed voting restrictions in red states screw over Republican voters, too.

New consumer sentiment data just out for April: Americans’ expectations for how the economy will fare over the next year are now at their worst in 45 years. Consumer confidence is down 40% since Trump’s inauguration, including a 20% drop among Republicans.

Hey Times writers, in case you ever wondered what you would do during an authoritarian, Soviet-style "crackdown on higher education," it turns out the answer is friendly interviews with the architects about their political strategy

All this chaos, but Harry Enten says he's soaring like an eagle

So when actual experts with actual knowledge at research universities promptly say he's full of shit, does this mean more cancelled funding for them?

So after the Ohio Repubs reduce the budget for the Ohio Elections Commission to $0 (effectively eliminating the commission), how are Ohio's campaign finance laws enforced? Does it become the responsibility of county prosecutors?

I swear, if MAGA looks at today's market opening and tries to pull a "the Dow is up 2,300 over the past two days ..."

It's amazing that 78 million people were this stupid. The dumbest Wall Street crash in history.

Just remembering how Joe Biden forgiving some student loans was taking the power of the presidency too far.
