👇🎯 There is no bottom, & there won’t be until 5 GOP Reps & 20 GOP Senators decide their oaths to country & Constitution actually meant something. No, I don’t think that’s going to happen, either. So it will get worse. Way worse. Presidentialism was a mistake, & we’re only fully realizing that now.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

There is something deeply rotten that this and all the similar overt nazis Vance follows on twitter, where it's totally public and anybody can scroll through the list, is somehow considered not newsworthy.

So Russia , the country that attacked us, is not even trying to play it coy and just openly says it wants to see Ukraine unarmed . I’m not gonna get tired repeating: Russia asking for “guarantees” is just as if a convicted rapist and serial killer was asking for guarantees..

Bill's mood right now:

Not to get all hyperbolic, but between Trump’s “l’etat c’est moi” and Bessent’s “let them eat cake,” it does feel kind of pre-French Revolution-y around here.

Everyone in the military under the age of 50 knows exactly who anything to do with restricting shaving waivers is targeting It's kind of funny that the 3 and 4 stars really think they can do the "aDhErE tO sTaNdaRdS" shtick without everyone seeing through to the racism

Nobody wants to say that Bidenomics worked at anything, but we really did have a successful targeted industrial policy that was reviving critical domestic industries and starting a manufacturing construction boom. Trump is destroying all that. From @ryanlcooper.com: prospect.org/economy/2025...

Here's another hot take: The fetishization of blue-collar work by people who've never been forced to do blue-collar work is essentially the same as the fetishization of cottagecore/trad aesthetic by people who've never been forced to do cottagecore/trad life work.

The GOP’s conception is more like “let them eat racial resentment”

To quote London Mollari, David Zaslav is a moon-faced assassin of joy.

Russian government balances have entered a total state of collapse, probably one of the largest drops on record. If Trump doesn't soon save Putin, it's disaster.

I’m in the UK right now, and it’s crazy to see roving packs of teens with nowhere to go running around the city at night. I was walking with one woman, and when a pack came running by, she said, under her breath, “we should have never closed the youth centers.” It’s the austerity!

Trump take Amazon and Walmart

Trump take TV

I would normally say "good luck with that, fucko," but Marco probably said he would talk to Trump about it, and Lavrov replied, "You do that."

⚡️UK proposes Western peacekeeping mission of 10,000 troops in Ukraine. The proposed contingent would include around 10,000 troops, mostly provided by the U.K. and France, U.K. military sources told the Sunday Times. Thirty-five countries would offer weapons, logistics, and intelligence support.

🧠 Macron does not consider Russia's opinion important on peacekeeping mission in Ukraine

The largest office-to-residential conversion in American history, at 25 Water St., is almost done. (1,300 units!) Includes affordable apartments. Rents as low as $1,166 for a 2-bed. HPD lottery open now: housingconnect.nyc.gov/PublicWeb/de... We need to do this in many, many more buildings.

Subsonic weaponry allegedly deployed by the Serbian government against protestors in Belgrade today during a moment of silence at the country's biggest-ever protest (BBC reporting 325K were in attendance). Some said it felt as though a plane were about to crash onto their heads.🤬🤬🤬🤬

Far-right TV channel Newsmax quietly paid Smartmatic $40 million last year to settle the voting machine company's defamation lawsuit. Smartmatic's $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox is still in discovery www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is honestly…perfect

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

DOGE took away Adobe Acrobat from Fed workers, causing mass inefficiencies.

So much of the dipshit punditry and left-to-right pipeline can be understood as people mistaking being a contrarian as being an intellectual. It's people who found out they could feel special by going against the grain when they were 14 and didn't grow out of that shallow sophistry in their 20s.

Someone made a Wiley E. Coyote style painted wall to see if Tesla’s autopilot would detect it and well…
