Of course he’s an Eagle. OF COURSE.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Number 1

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

this is just a horrible, pathological liar. we know that. but they know they've lost the public on this one. the escalation is the giveaway

If they had any evidence of either, they would not have needed to kidnap him, traffic him to a foreign prison, and do everything possible to deny him due process. There's no evidence he has committed any crime or has any affiliation with any gang. Literally none. Hence their actions.

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump. You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans. The latest CMS letter indicates an expansion to target adults. Subscribe to support my reporting.

I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of *terrorism* anonymously.

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

Has anyone gotten so bad with browser tabs that they regularly close like 60 of them without even checking what they are?

Any guess why Trump seems so responsive to Laura Loomer and why his staff seems so extremely focused on keeping them apart and yet seems again and again unable to do so?

lol

you, a rube: “i want my kid to grow up to be a doctor or an engineer or a teacher” lutnick, a genius: “to make america great again your child will make iphones that they will not be able to afford”

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that they’d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.

more like the down jones! (this is my first and last attempt at economic commentary)

this is insane. you can go and talk to the voters who had their votes thrown out. they're all real people who were fully eligible to vote. there's no mystery here.

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race. Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

Bully says please just take it and don’t treat me as I treat you.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

lol holy shit

Telegraph going after the Quakers

Well done South Australia ❤️ Conversion practices targeting members of the LGBTIQA+ community are illegal in South Australia from today. Individuals or groups that cause serious harm by employing conversion practices will face up to five years in prison.

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

CNN put together a collection of clips of various Trump officials who were on the signal chat criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email server

Me in the national security group chat.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

the reason they were on signal is to avoid foia right? and thats illegal right? and.....no one cares right?

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
