The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether." Yeah, that's bad.

I'm curious. During the campaign, fact-checkers routinely dinged the Harris campaign for calling Project 2025 Trump's playbook, saying "Trump has denied this." Have any of them admitted how badly they got rolled in the most obvious of ways?

The Elon Musk-bootlicking "Twitter Files" journo-larpers have nothing to say about Musk's X basically acting as an arm of the Trump administration.

It's pretty amazing to think about what they did to Hunter for behaving like a Republican while trying to make a literal groomer the Attorney General.

Trying to watch the replay of Illinois at Rutgers with the Xfinity Peacock app is an absolute shitshow. You can’t FF thru commercials and the progress overlay won’t go away if you so much as touch the remote. Absolute 🚮 app.

Now Polis is praising Booker for being open to RFK for HHS Sec. If you're in NJ, please call Booker's office tomorrow and tell him to back off of this: (202) 224-3224.

Of course it did. Remember how often we were told that any algorithmic boosting of content Republicans didn't like had to be illegal?

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

And nobody calls him on it. Not even Bloomberg/Economist interviewer guy. It’s just bizarre.

He presided over the consensus choice for "worst year in American history in 50 years" and actively made it worse in multiple enormous ways. I just simply do not understand the mulligan Trump is getting for 2020.

what that makes me incandescently angry about the Musk cash-for-votes shit is that it demonstrates that he does, in fact, understand how desperate the vast majority of people are for amounts of money that are infinitesimally tiny to him, and he thinks it’s funny.

Complaints about Bluesky being a "left wing enclave" can be safely ignored because they fail to account for the fact that Twitter now privileges and amplifies right wing extremism and no one is obligated to put up with that as a condition of using social media

YOU: just ban guns THEM: sorry, that’s too complicated. instead, we’ll institute weekly shooter drills, arm all teachers, hire more police, give police heavy artillery and tanks, install overly complicated security systems, and charge everyone for the massive inconvenience, that’s much easier
