Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

We need to use the correct language for things like adults. The trump regime isn't deporting people what they're doing is called rendition. Most people understand rendition is a bad thing and an extralegal thing. We need to adjust our language before executions and outright slavery become common.

The same people who credited Trump for the economy surging after he won the election in November, are now blaming Biden for the economic slump AFTER he was inaugurated. It's almost like MAGA economics involves time travel, minus logic

This is an extended version of my recent TNR article on how the Trump admin is poised to hand Elon Musk's Starlink 10s of billions of dollars to give people who lack broadband the same crappy service they can already get from him. It's a highway robbery. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/the-broadb...

As someone who does not drink alcohol and is not good at spotting when people are drunk, the number of people who DO drink stating that Pete Hegseth is drunk on camera is high-key concerning.

Don't overreact—because you'll be at a loss when you discover Hegseth is in a group chat with Putin. Trump already has one, and yet no one seems to give a fuck.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

When someone begins systematically removing your culture/race/gender/identity from history, it means they don't want you around in the future either. Act accordingly. With great prejudice, like they do.
