the specific callouts of “never go on dates” and “never pay taxes” are starting to make me think elon musk might actually be the only autistic person rfk jr is aware of

To be fair, the wives and children of all Republicans would all be better off with the husbands gone, so their extrapolation to Mr. Abrego Garcia’s family is just what they are familiar with.

Pennies are essentially worthless. But if I stole 7 billion of them from Mark Zuckerberg, I think he’d call that theft. If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in busiess — you’re in organized crime.

If you honestly think autistic & otherwise neurodivergent people aren't going on dates, I'mma need you to do just a basic google search for the words "autistic" "neurodivergent" & "polyamory," because there's uh… There are some uh… Interesting lessons you can learn about autistic people & dating 😅😬

But then you remember that none of these people speak in good faith. They are always totally disingenuous & never converse outside of their own narrow aims & their outrageous, false on their face, claims are just a means to evil ends.

They speak and we are left with obvious questions: Does this guy get out & meet real people? Has he met Elon, who at least claims publicly to be ASD?

The fact that Mohsen Mahdawi - whom I have never met, but with whom I know several people in common who have spoken glowingly of him - is a peacebuilder committed to working with Israelis and Jews is precisely what makes him such a threat to Trumpism. Nothing scares them more than our solidarity.

A “prison” is most typically defined as an institution holding inmates ... sentenced for a crime. And of course, most sentences have an end date. However ... Bukele and his government have boasted that people placed in CECOT, “have no chance of getting out.” talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

The exact same Axios article, promoted twice in the same hour. The first one highlights a named Dem declaring his intention to lead a delegation to El Salvador. The second highlights an anonymous Dem criticizing the plan. The second one got orders of magnitude more engagement.

I think this is new information? people suspected this was happening, but I don't know that it's been confirmed. this seems to make it very clear trump could bring Garcia back any time. El Salvador is working for him; if he stops paying them to hold people, they won't hold them.

Here @joshtpm.bsky.social gets at the key points. But I wish he would have pointed out that it is all designed to conform to the Cheney Rule: “Do not put anything in writing/email/correspondence that has the remotest chance of being found in discovery later.” talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/for-b...

One of the problems with studies like this is that they throw out the 4th response which is “punched the questioner in the face when asked about the economic effects of deportations” which I like to pretend is about half of all respondents.

And given Shapiro's strident criticism of Netanyahu, this also looks like a case where high profile lies and double standards about a Jewish politician's Israel stance contributed to an unwell person trying to kill him.

Take the position that the tariff is baldly illegal and sue in court to enjoin it while you refuse to pay, because your company will go bankrupt anyway if you have to pay it, so additional liability won't matter on the margin.

This honestly isn't a bad approach. "Mr. Trump has made his ruling, now let him enforce it." Of course, it would be completely stupid to do this with any other administration, but given that Trump has gutted the federal tax infrastructure, why not try it?

That Elon Musk watched “The Boys from Brazil” and decided he needed to undertake the project is going to make a great movie some day. And in this movie, who should play Elon? Tom Cruise? Elliot Page? Seth Rogan? Adam Scott? A CGI Daffy Duck interacting with live actors?

I have really good news to announce to everyone. Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care. Good work everyone.
