The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

But muh tariffs 😲

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

I feel like humanity has a lot of potential, but doesn’t really apply itself in class.

Who did this?

Parents Gently Explain To Child That Their Money In Heaven Now

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.” Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

This guy has collapsed the economy twice.

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

No notes.

The real American dream is to amass enough wealth, power, status, assumed whiteness that you too can join the oppressor class.

Overhearing a Trump supporter at the office venting about the cost of eggs and gas.

“Every day in Los Angeles, one actor is told he looks like a rapist, and 99 others drive home for an hour and a half on the 10 Freeway, upset with themselves that they don’t look enough like a rapist.” — Bucky Sinister, GRUNT Issue 2 (e-zine)

Kinda feels like this right now

Everything makes sense if we stipulate he’s a Russian asset.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

New in PN: Turns out DOGE can't beat FOIA by shouting NOT AN AGENCY "Perhaps more importantly, the rulings that DOGE *is* an agency may provide a handle for outside litigants and Congress to grab hold of it before it succeeds in decimating the entire federal government. Let the FOIA cases begin!"

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

It's almost as if a gibbering degenerate President with zero understanding of markets or respect for the rule of law who is engaged in moronic tariff wars and a wholesale betrayal of our alliances is bad for the market. Strange how that happens.

The only reason there are tariffs on Canada is Melanie wants to fuck Trudeau. #ProveMeWrong

I can't believe Big Balls, the Douche and Tommy Tuna could make a mistake like this, given their combined year of work experience.

CO-SIGN!!!

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
