To be clear, this is like leaving your family’s car unlocked while looking directly at a criminal who hates your family (and likely has some compromising leverage over you) and nodding, “yes, the car is unlocked.”

This expression says “I think I’m sitting in J.D. Vance’s wet spot.”

Trump’s proposed ‘gold card’ visa comes with a hidden tax break for the wealthy www.cnbc.com/2025/02/27/t...

I can’t/won’t read every story about the Trump Temper Tantrum today - but is the coverage at least noting he was Impeached previously for trying to strong-arm Zelensky for dirt on Biden?

The unbridled hubris that only billions can purchase…

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

🚨🚨🚨

That was the most shameful performance by any American president in a century. I want to fucking throw up.

Russia's response to Trump's tantrum says it all really:

Steak and Shake making America Healthy Again! Let’s go to their Web site to see how they’re celebrating!

*Musk steals all the gold in Fort Knox" WaPo: This creates a major test of conflict-of-interest rules with respect to the ownership of gold.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

This is so goddamn embarrassing. www.axios.com/2025/02/24/u...

An entire analysis piece rooted in the (unacknowledged) logic of domestic abuse. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/w...

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

"Move fast and break things" sounds like some bold techbro vision of innovation, but it's also the same motto of thieves who want to do a smash-and-grab and get the fuck out before anybody can catch them.

again, this is the easiest political slam dunk in the world find a veteran with a lifetime of public service who has been fired for no reason and bring him on television with you do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again show the human cost

You’ll never guess who’s a big Napoleon fanboy

I wonder if we get to the point where you can't take your kids to Disney World because it's Florida and they might get polio

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

We go live now to the US government which has recently discovered keeping the nukes secure is actually an important job -

This is the Deputy Attorney General doing an outright Stringer Bell "is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" And to be perfectly clear: this is a crime. It's obstruction of justice, cut and dry, plain as day, no ambiguity about it.

The Partition of India displaced 20 million people, killed almost 2 million & created a refugee crisis whose effects are still in play over 70 years later, if you actually think it's a model for anything but massive catastrophe, you should not only not be employed here you should be in a padded cell

I don't think it's obvious because of the overwhelming amount of chaos in the news, but this is the biggest shift in American foreign policy since 1945. This is a titanic shift, and I'm not sure anyone knows what the result is going to be.

🚨🚨🚨

lawyers: your bat signal has been activated

Drake rn:

I can watch "biggest moments in Superdome history" clips all day

Same

So this where we at tonight huh? Is this the first Blue Sky Bowl?

i know ppl here do not enjoy screenshots of X but this one is such a great encapsulation of what it's become

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

"There is no dictatorship here other than our leader dictating what can and cannot happen."

How is this not from @theonion.com ?

they got rid of DEI and the right wing tech elites immediately started hiring based on experience oh no wait lol

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

Rubio's state dept appointee is a white supremacist and a misogynist. I remember not too long ago when a Republican who said this would be disqualified from high profile federal jobs forever.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
