We need more of this energy:

"The office no longer had a permanent overnight forecaster after... cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency, the initiative led by Elon Musk..." Americans are dying because of this incompetence! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

The “critics say” thing is the last refuge of both-sidesism, and both-sidesism is not reporting. Just gesturing at two utterances is a supplicative dance. www.stopthepresses.news/p/news-outle...

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

In re: RFK Jr. and measles: <<We started to hear more open talk during Covid of, “Maybe we should just let it cull the herd.” I don’t think we have reckoned enough with the fact that a lot of people now more openly believe in these eugenics-inflected ideas.>> www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

New Pope, who dis?

I've said this a million times, but I'll say it again: it is truly striking how many Democratic politicians, pundits, and commentators have internalized the idea that the right shapes public opinion and it is the job of the left to respond to it.

Glory!

This is impoundment, it is illegal, and that should be in the headline www.npr.org/2025/05/02/n...

President Trump 2.0 has openly committed more impeachable abuses of power than all prior presidents combined, including Trump 1.0. The question isn’t whether he should be impeached, convicted, and removed from office but whether Republicans have the guts to do their job. www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.
