George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

if you look at a bad thing that happened and assume, evidence-free, that it's because a Black person got a job they shouldn't have, you're not a "DEI skeptic," you're a dumb gutter racist

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

Remember when John Roberts gutted the Medicaid expansion because he said the *offer* of medicaid money was too coercive to the states bsky.app/profile/atru...

🗣Too hot to handle... too cold to hold..

Imagine how news media would respond if it was Harris saying this after a dozen eggs topped $8 nationally

Despite complete immunity for this, they'll settle and use it to launder money to Tarrio. Lawsuit settlements seem to be the preferred means of bribes now.

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

The thing his voters don’t understand is that this IS his business acumen. The guy failed at selling alcohol, steaks, and gambling to Americans. He sucks at business. They just believed the opposite because of a reality TV show.

Playing Kanye’s Black Skinhead while they skate onto the ice is certainly a choice.

Elon calls for destroying the international space station to ensure he makes money on the SpaceX contracts to do so.

Lmao literally this

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

I will never top this

Just to prepare everyone, the crowd in Boston will assuredly boo the Canadian national anthem today, because the group of people who are appalled at the Canadians booing the US anthem after the President said they shouldn’t exist anymore lack the mental capability to do anything more than retaliate.

Yes, booing the U.S. national anthem is disrespectful to Americans—but you know what’s worse? The U.S. president repeatedly and publicly telling the world that Canada has no right to exist and should be part of the U.S.🇺🇸🇨🇦

Saw a post mourning the fall of 'the world's oldest democracy' (meaning America), I'm like bro it's just shy of 60 years old, I checked and those guys only started guaranteeing universal suffrage in 1965

Kevin Hassett’s COVID model, which he was in no way qualified to create, predicted that American COVID deaths would be at ~zero by May 2020

Congrats to everyone who insisted they were better off four years ago -- you made it right back to the safety and security of "early COVID pandemic"

9 seconds, 3 fights. Maybe they’ll play some hockey too.

Dictator for a day has gone full Napoleon.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

It's like we all live at Four Seasons Total Landscaping now.

Sure would be a shame if people kept calling him a name he didn’t want to go by.

Allegory alert!

Are we still listening to Cam Newton because he dresses weird and says crazy stuff, because haven’t we learned that lesson?

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

Things are getting really interesting over at DOJ.

one thing about scotus clerks is that even if they have shitty politics or favor some awful constitutional theory for whatever reasons, they aren't DUMB and if they are going to bring out the knives for emil bove, they are going to sink them deep.

This guy is a psychopath.

lol sure buddy.

Cautious, thoughtful lawyers, especially those in government service, rarely say these things outside their own offices. That’s how you know the quality of this fella.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Spent the afternoon exfoliating, hydrating & ensuring the Gulf of Mexico is exactly where I left it on MapQuest. Somewhere between my second serum & a deep existential sigh, I couldn’t help but wonder — in a world addicted to power & rebrands, is the Gulf of Mexico the last bastion of authenticity?
