Such an evil man

Suddenly hungry for chicken tacos. Maybe @tacobell.bsky.social can make that a special for June 14th?

Most of Trump's tariffs were just ruled illegal (because they were based on nonsense). This is the second best possible off-ramp for the U.S. economy. The best would be if Congress were to take back the power the Constitution gave it. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/b...

Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

Good news: "Sesame Street and Netflix have struck a deal that will see the popular US television show appear on the streaming platform, while still being available on the free-to-air channel PBS." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Investigation is still underway, but it’s hard for me to miss the echo of the 1998 abortion clinic bombing in Birmingham by Eric Rudolph, a Christian nationalist. I was the prosecutor on call & responded to the scene. All bombings are acts of cowardice.

This is such an excellent point and media should be reporting it this way. (This is in reference to Miller’s preposterous but still dangerous claim earlier today about the executive branch considering suspending the writ)

Colbert is right: Dominos should be all over making 'Pizzaballa" a thing despite his not being the next Pope 😉

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Anyway you want it!

Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.
