The way other female conservative influencers are turning on Ashley St. Clair, leaking her texts, and smearing her should be a sign to any conservative woman that a movement built on misogyny will not protect you. That your female peers will weaponize misogyny against you, too.

An Opus Dei priest converted me to Catholicism two weeks ago. Here's who I think the next Pope should be.

FFS New York Times. They’re not *his generals. Unbelievable

This is every incel’s dream: someone who doesn’t respond to me, or even take off her earphones to hear my perfectly honed pickup lines, should be fired. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

my bootcamp coach has taken in a neighbor's dog bc it was being kept outside 24/7 & last week Detroit had minus temps. but she has a dog, is a single mom & small business owner & can't keep him. trying to find a foster/forever home who understands german shepherds: www.instagram.com/p/DGDwdguuPf...

As per usual, @chrisgeidner.bsky.social has managed to distill exactly what needs to be said. Litigation is crucial. Yes, the courts are captured. Yes, laws are not real. Whatever. We should still be litigating tooth and nail.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a Bluesky iPad client? I’ve been using Graysky but it lacks a few features.

Just donated to support Peggy and you should too, if you’re able. Let’s absolutely fucking go.

Please don’t put in the memorandum and order that I got mad.

In.

Lolllllll remember a few weeks ago when they released one (1) statement and everyone pretended they would actually continue to have a spine. Good times.

call it what it is: a military leadership purge www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Absolutely fucked

So hyped that this administration is gonna wipe out my 401k *and* destroy social security. Really looking forward to trying to figure out how to keep a job, uh, til I die.

NEW: Trump's DOJ is threatening to prosecute a central New York sheriff. Why? The sheriff released a man ICE wanted to arrest, after the man completed his sentence. A constitutional scholar told us "there's no basis in the law" for such charges. But the DOJ wants to spook local officials. More:

NEW: Law Dork can confirm that, per a memo sent today from Acting Commissioner Dudek, most components of the office (OARO) are being moved to other offices — and that Deputy Commissioner Gina Clemons, who headed OARO, is being moved to be a "senior advisor" in the Office of Communications.

Nichols came thru for Trump and friends on the J6 obstruction prosecutions too. It’s nice to have your pals take care of you.

Fucking babies. Absolute toddler shit.

Agahahaha Paul Clement I am dead.

after hearing from several of you last night, i think i have a general structure for this. it's subject to change based on feedback, but if you're a current, fired, or currently-being-litigated federal worker, i want to hear from you. here are the details.

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

I’m so tired.

Finally someone focusing on men.

Elon Musk just waved a chainsaw around a stage to illustrate his approach to cutting federal employees. Since it is illegal to employ metaphors now, presumably Martin will be emailing him.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

this piece notably does not provide Kluwe's explanation to you why he declined an interview, because you're hilarious chickenshit

Demuth: “We know that voters wanted Republicans in charge of the House.” The gaslighting is strong. Democrats earned 1000s more votes in MN House races and sent a 67-67 tie to the House of Representatives. Stop lying and start working on issues that will actually help hardworking MN families.

no disrespect to chris, but imma need the legal news to stop so i can write about the other legal news. no, not that legal news. the other legal news. no, the other other stuff.

Birthright citizenship 3: My letter to editor of NY Times on Barnett and Wurman’s misleading essay They’re not publishing it, so I’m self-publishing. Now y’all know what to do: shugerblogcom.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/b...

please give him a live chainsaw get him to cut wood in his backwards cowboy hat for a photo op he will absolutely decline to wear chainsaw chaps

i turned @tejenson.bsky.social on to that weird yet compelling Lord Huron/Kristen Stewart joint and am pleased to report she's just as obsessed

if they won't say it with their whole chest, in public, fuck 'em. (this wish does not extend to their constituents! just this bullshit of covering elected GOP folks' private brow furrowing and requests for exemptions like they mean anything at all.)

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

For @columjournreview.bsky.social, @aisvarya17.bsky.social and I tested Grok-3's ability to identify quotes from news publishers. Out of the 200 quotes we tested, 102 returned hallucinated citations and the original source article was correctly cited only nine times. www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

someone has added a banner to the FCC Complaints page so that anyone going to file a complaint first gets asked if they want to join in a complaint re: “investigating news distortion at 60 Minutes” consumercomplaints.fcc.gov

kinda surprising they're throwing this out as it seems like it would be an excellent source of candidates for jobs in the administration

good lord.
