This is Israel's most read daily newspaper, openly calling for genocide and saying there are no innocent people in Gaza. This is who Biden sacrificed the country to arm.

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

"listen up, you piece of shit" - seven clunky syllables - disrespectful - sets a weird tone "hark, shitpiece" - three sleek syllables - salutation-flavoured - calls listener in to the community of shitpieces

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

did the doctor from arrested development write this

Having to do this in a reply to Elon bullshitting about the latest update to his anti-woke chatbot… bleak

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: While the Trump Justice Department is telling a federal court that Elon Musk has nothing to do with DOGE, Republican members of Congress are telling their constituents that DOGE is “led by Elon Musk.” See below 👇

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.

When they fire the Chair of the Joint Chiefs and the Chief of the Navy next week, they’ll use words like DEI. The left will chalk it up to racism and sexism. But that’s only part of it. Mostly they just want people who they believe will carry out illegal or unethical orders.

DEI is the most popular thing in this list lmao

worth mentioning again that senate democrats’ plan for strategic confirmation votes in exchange for blocking the worst nominees was a complete failure

So here’s the thing about probationary status: It applies to ANYONE in a new position, not just new-hires. People who switched agencies, people who were just promoted… We’re losing A LOT of good people with needed expertise by targeting probationary employees.

An administration serious about fixing the deficit would not fire the people who collect the money needed to fix the deficit. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-misma...

Does anybody else’s Paramount+ app refuse to play Twin Peaks without crashing?

NEW from me: a source tells me yesterday the Trump admin moved to reduce the size of the Board of Immigration Appeals from 28 Appellate Immigration Judges to 15, in the process laying off judges appointed under Biden. This comes as the BIA faces historic caseloads and delays — which will get worse.

You can partially thank Biden for this outright lie, as his admin in June stopped requiring Border Patrol to ask migrants if they were seeking asylum and record the answer during the arrest process. The minute that change happened, Border Patrol agents just started ignoring people’s cries for help.

Exactly what I was thinking might happen. Their anti-trans animus is infecting other cases. Trump is biting off too much too fast. My hope is that all of this factors into some of the fence-sitting justices on SCOTUS for big upcoming cases.

Civil Procedure go brrrrrr

Media are missing this if they don't include it. Yes, Judge Chutkan just denied temporary restraining order in New Mexico v Musk. But judge signals plaintiffs have the better argument when this reaches the merits: That Elon Musk is exercising power in violation of Appointments Clause. ⬇️Key para⬇️

Hakeem Jeffries refuses to call for Eric Adams' resignation, instead calling on Adams to show "that he has the capacity to continue to govern in the best interest of New Yorkers"

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

For a brief moment at the end of February, every planet will appear in the night sky simultaneously in a rare celestial spectacle. This so-called planetary parade, which will occur shortly after sunset on 28 February, will be the last time the phenomenon occurs until 2040.

Rewatching “Turn,” mostly for @exkevinmcnally.bsky.social

Trafficking is a central theme of the QAnon worldview, with the idea that Trump would act to stop it when in office. Instead...

The employee is Gavin Kliger. He’s been named by multiple large news orgs. Not sure why NBC won’t.

Nothing more Trumpy than to genuinely think of yourself as a Napoleonic genius but to get your quotes about it second or third hand from some 1970 movie about Waterloo starring Rod Steiger.

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives thought participation trophies were a sign of the "pussification of America"

There's a Crisis of Masculinity in this country and the only way to solve it is to let me act like a cross between a baby and a movie villain

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

Firing the enforcement ppl is a really big tell. CBO estimates that each dollar spent on enforcement (mostly wages) yields $6 to $9 in avoided taxes. Cutting enforcement is one of the biggest deficit-raising acts one can do. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"

I lowkey think that Dems are so bad at persuasion because they’re all tied up with truth and factchecking instead of doing some good, god’s honest propaganda.

At least we have names…

"We're on the verge of potentially another pandemic and we're firing the people who have probably more expertise than anyone else in the country collectively.”

in addition to being a contemptible liar and hollow opportunist, jd vance is also just pathetic. only a guy who has fried his brain on social media would even think to say something like this

it is beyond clear that for many americans trump is a blank slate who stands for whatever they personally want

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

mass deportations are some of the most economically inefficient cruelty known to man paying millions of dollars to detail & expel employees, fathers, grandmothers, caretakers, etc. is a double cost: not only is it expensive but it also eliminates a productive members of our society and economy
