Next time someone at CNN wonders why they continue to lose viewers, send them this.

i'm just going to say that there is a big open opportunity for democrats to drive these elon and tariff numbers up.

What I thought would kill me, by age: 0-20: Russian nuke 20-30: AIDS 30-50: Terrorists 50-present: the people who copied off me in high school.

This is a pretty deep point. There’s something weird about guys with Fuck You money who *only* say “fuck you” to people lower than them on the food chain, but are constantly sucking up to people higher than they are.

When you forget to switch to your burner account

Dear rebels, if you could email the Tulsi files to the Senate next week, that would be great. Aloha.

If Rosa truly believed this then she’d have no problem using her last name. Unserious.

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The incoming FBI Director is already issuing legal threats for TV commentary. this is outreagoues and ominous

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

I think it's a close call on the merits of the pardon. But it is not a close call on the assholery of the establishment press, as illustrated here.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

I encourage you to point and laugh at anyone who claims Trump ever needed justification to abuse his pardon power.

I think pardons to Fauci and Vindemann are both sensible because (1) there is no plausible suggestion they have committed crimes and (2) the Trumpists have explicitly made them the target of planned political persecutions.

Among others, Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio, Dinesh D’Souza, Bernard Kerik, George Papadopoulos, Charles Kushner, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Steve Bannon but sure let’s run around with our hair on fire bc joe biden has set a bad precedent and undermined our precious norms

Real talk re the Hunter pardon. Democrat’s adherence to norms is a Kobayashi Maru problem. 1) scrupulously adhere to norms, no one cares and GOP justifies their own norm breaking. 2) ignore norms, norms are degraded and the GOP justifies doing what they were going to do anyway. We’re f’d either way.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below. Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump. The remaining 541 are on topic and add value. 👏👏👏👏👏

About to drop $525 to get this guy to make a video denouncing sexual assault and send it to Pete Hegseth. Wish me luck.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

Wasn’t there some woman from California who was running for something who told us this was going to happen

I’m old enough to remember there was some lady (I think she was like Black and Indian or something) who told us he was gonna do this and it would be bad

It’s weird being German these days. No one ever asks “how on earth could the Nazis have taken over” anymore. I rather miss it.

I’m finding the community here far more engaging and respectful, while still wickedly funny. Happy to be migrating to these friendlier skies.

The good news is all of the nasty trolls who followed me here from Twitter all have anywhere between zero and five followers. Keep it up, friends. The blocking and not interacting is working.

Maybe everyone understands what Bari Weiss is now.

I have never been assaulted or molested by a trans person. Bathroom or not. I can’t say the same about some of the Christian men I know…

Man, what a game #boltup Also, with no-one leaving the Chargers game early and a Clippers game I feel sorry for everyone trying to get out of Inglewood tonight.

We did?

Those high birth rates were meant to compensate for high rates of infant mortality — even in 1930s Britain, about 1 in 10 children died before 5. That said, I guess RFK Jr will return us to that glorious pre-vaccine age, and finally Elon’s obsession with birth rates will make sense

This is terrible and will undermine democracy and rule of law. It is important that people are starting to understand that the Durham investigations were Trump's first foray into the political use of criminal prosecutions. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

She thinks she’s the victim because her high schooler told her he’s not allowed to say “r*tard” at school. She’s absolutely indignant. She thinks it’s her right to throw slurs at special needs kids.

An ex-NY Times columnist and Ivy League grad interviewed a billionaire about how he, the world’s richest man, and several other billionaires helped another billionaire/Ivy League grad/real estate mogul world defeat an HBCU grad to reclaim the most powerful office in the world. The headline:

NPR, unlike the NYT, has an excellent Public Editor, Kelly McBride. ( www.npr.org/sections/pub... ) Would be useful for her to look into this incredibly supine and irresponsible framing. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Can't wait for Bari Weiss to dig into this blockbuster story.

The next step should be persuading people and organizations that being on twitter is no different that being on Gab. Respectable people shouldn’t use that platform.

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken: Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

Reminder that Trump campaigned on letting RFK Jr do whatever he wants, including "health for women." We voted for this.

People who say they care about women’s and girls’ sports are noticeably quiet about how eliminating the Department of Education would end federal oversight of Title IX enforcement of the equal existence of women’s and girls’ sports

this is so profoundly wrong. everything we know now suggests that people voted for boring, they want economic stability. they will not get that, but pretending that they want violence when they did not vote for it distorts the fact that trump does not have a mandate for violence and chaos

Just going to add my pinned tweet over here since Trump people are out in full force on Twitter today saying DOJ employees owe their loyalty to the President.
