New in PN: The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state "Despite the endless handwringing about Biden Old, a sitting president acting like a cross between a 4Chan thread and Q truly is a major concern — one the mainstream media actively minimizes."

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

Remember what I said about the conservative movement being dedicated to installing fifth columnists around the country to sabotage institutions they hate?

Man, it's a good thing that President Smartdeals tore up the historic agreement that Obama forged in 2015 so a decade later we could get this much much much better one that gets Iran back on track to becoming a nuclear power.

There are lots of people in the South who absolutely did not vote for Donald Trump and yet are about to enter a deadly "finding out" phase of their neighbors' fucking around.

Think about the economic ramifications of this for the greater Baltimore area. This is why I’m fairly sure we’re going to have a recession even if tariffs get blocked.

This guy has been a loud conservative voice railing against Hamas and terrorism, and defending the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, who has never said or done anything violent or terroristic. And yet here he is ‘joking’ about killing civilians:

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

There's no actual belief among elites against remote work, they just know that workers like it and they oppose anything workers like on principle. Mistreating workers is the core of the ideology.

Musk knowingly lies all the time, in very obvious, easily confirmable ways, yet when he announces something like "stepping away from politics" the media still writes up whatever he says as if its the truth. Why?

Yup, and Dems need to start saying this. It's a great time to be a criminal, there's no more fed law enforcement, they're all sipping coffee cosplaying in military gear while waiting for law-abiding migrants on their way out of immigration hearings.

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...
