I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

Bro they lobotomized your aunt

young men don’t need a “left Joe Rogan” they need sports betting regulation

Hegseth really feels like the ultimate expression of the anti-DEI backlash, a sloppy drunk who can’t stop texting the nuclear codes in response to scam job offers who is treated as qualified because the president saw him on TV and did the Leonardo DiCaprio point

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

This guy is DRUNK

I think it’s time we stop taking advice from people who haven’t won an election in a year that starts with 2 also do it James- sue me.

"The Stranger's Case," William Shakespeare Sir Thomas Moore: Act II Scene 4 ___ Imagine that you see the wretched strangers, Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage, Plodding to the ports and costs for transportation ...

But what if AWARDS SEASON isn’t about the starlet and he’s dedicating it to a hard-working member of the production crew. Think about it

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture. That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

I realize this is over Donald Trump's head, but killing foreign tourism will increase the trade deficit.

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

adobe deleted their post so this one's for posterity

No, this is.

The take

hmmm that’s weird. I’m at a rock show of a band I loved 20 years ago and most of the audience is gray-haired or bald. yet I am in the bloom of youth and very cool. something to monitor.

I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.

do we have to keep fighting about whether this is an evil plan or incompetence? it is both! they have a ton of evil plans! they published a book of evil plans! they're also the biggest clown motherfuckers on the planet! they're gonna do a lot of accidental evil on their way to on purpose evil!

your anger is warranted because all of this was avoidable.

Today’s @podsaveamerica.crooked.com got me this morning

I had to google Cripple Creek because for a second I thought it was the 70s version of the Struggle Bus

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

economists are issuing statements like "this is surprising as usually the dollar grows stronger under tarriffs," like major brokers are doing this. lol no you guys. "usually" is when the tariffs aren't being levied aginst e.g. countries with literally zero exports. the dollar wants to cut its losses

Here are the US reciprocal tariffs against all the territories mentioned in Enya’s Orinoco Flow

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

List of countries not subjected to tariffs: Russia Belarus North Korea Cuba They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

Happy “are my life savings going to be depleted because the president doesn’t listen to economists” day!
