Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk. Watch here: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Not that it's the most devastating effect of all this, nor at all surprising, but I have noticed that my weather app has been 50% less accurate since 10% of NOAA got canned.

He's exactly the sort of person they were imagining when they outlawed 3 terms.

Sure. I'm certain Rob Schneider or whatever useless chode they scrape from the bottom of the barrel is going to be far more entertaining.

BREAKING The FDA’s top vaccine official has resigned. Dr. Peter Marks wrote this in his resignation letter about Robert Kennedy Jr.: "It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.

I am searching the web to find the most damning reasons why Rumeysa Ozturk was singled out for this bizarre disappearing and am coming up with zilch. There are thousands who've attached their names to similar petitions.

once again, every accusation is a confession. republicans spent 15 years accusing democrats of winning elections by trading cash for votes. now, here we are.

I’ll bet you Mike also clicks on the pop-ups AND thinks he has a long-lost inheritance if he just provides his bank account info.

We get all their email addresses and add them to a Slack channel for a regional theater production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Urgent questions every three minutes. Blow up their phones.

I mean, imagine if it was someone other than The Atlantic...

Thank god they got rid of all the DEI hires so now only the most competent people are- *touches earpiece* I'm being told the US Secretary of Defense got drunk and accidentally added a journalist to a top-secret group chat discussing military strikes

OK, everybody go see Bob Trevino Likes It so you can finally have the satisfaction of seeing French Stewart be a terrible father.

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days. At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8248mFR/

I'm dying to know how all these self-proclaimed entrepreneurs and hustlers have the time to listen to a 3-hour podcast.

My Dinner with Andre, but it's Martin Scorsese and Jesse Eisenberg speaking at speeds no one can understand.

the last decade has really helped me understand in a more visceral sense what it meant when God hardened the pharoah’s heart

In case you were wondering what DEI means, it stands for “Whites Only.” if you voted for Trump, you voted for this. If you don’t consider yourself a racist, I guess it’s time to reconsider.

Guy who fired 30k people this month can't figure out why no one likes him.

Reminds us of how @marshablackburn voted against it then showed up to try to take credit for it: x.com/thetnholler/...

Tonight's listening. youtu.be/7Bbvaqld5qM?...

Y'know, I'm glad he's showing up with the sort of energy I hope to have at his age. But Bernie shouldn't have to do this shit. He should be sleeping in and eating donuts for dinner. Can someone not 1000 years old lead the resistance?

the absolute most charitable thing you can say about a lot of democratic lawmakers is that they want to hold onto a political order that no longer exists

Russia’s actual advance has stalled in key contested areas, Alexey Kovalev writes.

This is exactly what they're trying to achieve by destroying government services that benefit the public. A VC-backed startup intervenes to gather data that the National Weather Service was previously collecting, and before we know it, we will be paying them for what was once funded by our taxes.

Here's hoping this is part of the ICC getting on a roll.

You know who's probably a good CEO? Someone you've never heard of. Makes a steadily increasing profit. Keeps shareholders and employees happy. Might actually be terrible but is at least better at CEOing than any of these roid rangers trying to convince us that the line going down is "innovative".

Morning listening. youtu.be/tRVyCRyMPZ0?...

Ripping a student from their home, challenging their immigration status, and detaining them solely based on political viewpoint will chill student speech and advocacy across campuses nationwide. Political speech should never be a basis of punishment or lead to deportation.

Really glad the eye rolling about virtue signaling became so hegemonic there’s now a race afoot to signal the most vice.

Anything stupid like this that happens to Maine and Maine only is revenge for Maine's governor standing up to Trump at a meeting and should be reported as such.

What if I told you Martin Luther King, the Underground Railroad, Medgar Evers, John Brown's raid, Emmett Till's murder, Muhammad Ali, Fannie Lou Hamer, the Emancipation Proclamation, Rosa Parks and the Tuskegee Airmen all have the same origin story... A nationwide slave revolt started it all.

Today's listening. youtu.be/teRgh01Xb1U?...

"He's never even heard of this place!" is actually a fantastic slogan for the Lesotho tourism industry.

On behalf of my wife, an elementary school principal, do not let your elementary age kids watch Squid Game.

Here's a story that illustrates why primary sources are important & how Black history is whitewashed. It involves a mass slave escape, Government-sponsored slut-shaming, my nomination for the Blackest name in history & the guy who discovered two words that might end racism. A thread.

It's my brother @philjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social 's birthday. As is my yearly tradition, I beseech you all to buy his crap! www.roadsideattraction.com/store/

Nail on the head. I don't a beat poet. I need someone who knows how to budget.

Of all motherfuckers, I can’t believe the country is going down with this motherfucker.

My entire adult life, I've had dipshits calling me a Communist for being liberal. And now here's the entire Republican party working for a KGB agent.

Jesus fucking Christ...
