I’m sorry but this is why, if you find yourself in a room with Donald Trump, you look him right in the eyes and tell him he’s a moronic, fascist piece of human garbage. Because otherwise this might happen

"That should be an out. That's gotta be an out." "This guy's in the heat of battle over there. That's like a Saturday Night Live skit." Mark Gubicza and Wayne Randazzo react as an Astros fan takes the ball out of Mike Trout's glove.

Whitmer built her political brand on toughness. This is… well, it’s not that

Evaluating the productive contribution of government workers (or anyone in the non-profit sphere) to the economy can be challenging, but the bland assumption that they are all negative contributors represents a triumph of ideology over evidence.

a thing that drives me barking mad is that nü-right thought leaders — hanania and rufo are good examples — are not interesting thinkers or engaging writers or superb communicators, they're hacks whose arguments get taken apart regularly by posters with names like *thumbs where my dick should be*

the other insane thing about these new tariff exemptions is that they exempted the machinery used to make semiconductors because that’s obviously counterproductive to re-shoring semiconductor manufacturing but have not extended that logic to ***all the other types of machinery***

he provides the thinnest veneer of modern legitimacy for nihilistic bigotries and hatreds that are as old as the hills, and it turns out that one coat is enough for most of these people

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

You can’t do “mass” deportation and give due process, and what conclusion you draw from that says important stuff about your commitment to law.

This one is gonna stick with Whitmer her whole career because it reveals a deep truth that Americans already feel about their leaders. Americans think their leaders operate behind closed doors, refute the truth, and betray their most basic values to advance some aspect of their personal ambition.

to agree with the Bruenig piece, you have to accept the premise that continued human presence on earth requires us to be concerned with white birthrates, because otherwise there's no problem to be solved

One of the nice things about being on the left is that most of the shit you believe, reducing poverty, climate change, not randomly bombing places, also allows “humanity to persist on this Earth” in ways not involving asking women if they’re ovulating

No, sorry, not becoming a birthrates weirdo doesn't "yield to the far right the notion that humanity ought to persist on this earth." We can just be the party that says you can have whatever number of kids you want, you fucking dumbass

Reminds me of @scottlincicome.bsky.social's old saying, "Tariffs not only impose immense economic costs but also fail to achieve their primary policy aims and foster political dysfunction along the way."

This story fails to mention the reason they couldn’t open the doors to save the people who died. Cybertruck doors can’t be opened from the outside when the electrical isn’t working, like when they’re on fire.

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Putting aside the merits (do all 80-year-olds have ready access to social media?) this is an incredible conflict of interest. Musk is using his position to grant his business a monopoly over access to a public service.
