Every accusation is a confession with these dopes. In this case, calling someone obviously brilliant dumb.

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Drudge FTW

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

The Republican Party is a goddamn motherfucking joke.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

👀 “I understand my duty as a prosecutor to mean enforcing the law impartially, and that includes prosecuting a validly returned indictment regardless whether its dismissal would be politically advantageous, to the defendant or to those who appointed me.” - Former Acting USA, SDNY Danielle Sassoon.

1/So, the guy who is supposedly fighting waste & corruption in government just got a $400 mil contract with that same government he’s supposedly overseeing for his trucks that get, let’s just say less than stellar reviews www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

So RFK Jr came out of the gate with a broad statement decrying medication for depression, anxiety, ADHD, weight loss, and god knows what else. you know what went unmentioned? HGH. Look at him (or almost any guy in Hollywood these days) and ask yourself... www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The April 1 election includes a Wisconsin Supreme Court race that could maintain or end the liberal majority on a court that has decided many voting rights cases, as well as an amendment that could enshrine strict Voter ID requirements into the state constitution.

Blumenthal: Were you then or are you lying now? That's the question for these nominees. RFK Jr has taken anti-vax positions, well-known now, which he has tried to walk back. Kash Patel has tried to disavow his support for J6 rioters who assaulted police officers ...

But plastic straws are back…

Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, resigned on Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order that she drop a corruption case against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, that she had championed, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com: "Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Valor Danielle Sassoon, Acting U.S. attorney for SDNY - refuses to drop Adams charges and resigns John Keller, Acting head of DOJ Public Integrity Section - refuses and resigns Kevin Driscoll, Acting head of DOJ Criminal Division - refuses and resigns www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

RFK Jr. confirmed. There goes the health of our nation.

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse

BREAKING NEWS: Al Franken’s old Senate Seat will be OPEN in 2026! Who else agrees he should run again? 💙

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

This is going well

So basically, the Department of Health and Human Services is finished. If you want to stay safe from food recalls, viruses, and whatever else is coming—better start looking elsewhere for reliable information.

So….Hegseth has quit drinking yeah?

god this guy is an idiot. like, a stone cold idiot who sincerely believes that war fighting and preparedness is about having the biggest dick

I love this

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

How badly is Melania gonna eff up the White House Rose Garden this time?

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

We’re done here. Right?

Trump-Musk press conference

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

such a child... how embarrassing...

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

You voted for a psychopath.

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
