Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges. Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

An objectively accurate description would be they are "stealing money," or if you want to be a bit drier, "illegally impounding funds," but "spending cuts" is not what's happening because Trump/Musk have no authority to "cut" appropriations as in the same term we'd use to speak of Congress doing it.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

“Were they dying from chronic disease or were they dying from Covid” Covid. They died from Covid This is health supremacy. Chronic illness is not someone’s fault. Disability can’t be fixed with diet & exercise. We’re no less deserving of life This is escalating eugenics and it won’t stop with us

Most insane felony murder charge I've ever heard of: some people were drinking and watching sports; at the end of the game, a fan of the winning team fired a gun in the air in celebration. Police investigating a report of gunshots kill an unnarmed teenage girl two blocks away. Felony murder charge.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

If it were a movie, people would roll their eyes at how overdone it was. The man who ascended to the presidency by firing people on TV is about to have the first case of his second term argued at the Supreme Court. The issue? Whether he has the 'unrestricted power' to fire his critics. (1/3)
