😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

@perrybaconjr.bsky.social nails it every time, with a clarity and ease you wonder why all msm can't do this.

“Playing at bigotry creates an environment for it, whatever our intentions may be.”

This 2022 piece by Jeremy Peters In the New York Times was hilarious bullshit when it was published but now that Musk is literally bankrolling the entire Republican Party it’s a fucking laugh riot.

Florida has the most U.S. Senators

this guy sounds like a minor character in legend of the galactic heroes

good review and also, there is still something to be written about Sarah Palin as a key figure in creating the political space that trump seized just a few years later.

Entire podcast!

TRUMP IN ONE SINGLE EVENT - "They won't be there for us" - "We have some that are really enthusiastic. They're coming already" - "This isn't 'need'" - "If we need anything, they should be jumping to help us" - "We want them to come & help us w/the strait" - My attitude is we don't need anybody"

i went on cancel me daddy, it was a lot of fun remembering how easily you can fail upwards in the rightwing sphere

My three-year-old was watching the Interesting Times podcast when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why are the trad wives always smiling?" And when I told her "Because they've been freed of the demands of contemporary feminism," she started crying.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social As a Christian, I'm disgusted Trump would make the national prayer breakfast all about himself. Here's why I'll be voting for him a 4th time anyways

The Devil You Know is an 8-part podcast series from the CBC and Sarah Marshall (host of You’re Wrong About…) about the Satanic Panic. “These thousands of alleged Satanists were nowhere to be found…” [cbc.ca]

Charlie Kirk was a vile human being who's life was dedicated to spreading hatred and mistrust of others. He made tons of money doing it too. The fact that he got shot changes nothing about who he was up to that point

Bring back the President's Physical Fitness Test?!? Clearly no one in the Trump Administration has listened to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social absolutely DEMOLISH it in one of the first Maintenance Phase episodes.

I'm relishing in my sins rn

billionaires ruin everything for everyone all the time

"In the secretary’s office are a half-dozen prints known as 'jumbos.' Typically these would be pictures of tanks or troops in battle. In Hegseth’s office, instead, are seven giant pictures of Jenny Hegseth, many of them showing her in the same pink dress."

just want this pic of Elon out there

it's is evil to arrest innocent children and pardon actual criminals who give you money

First they came for the Hamasniks and, like, tough for them.

This is, I think, the single greatest problem with the media's coverage of the last nine years of US politics. Democrats are broadly assumed to be the adults in the room, and as a result, Democrats and Republicans are held to *wildly* different standards of behavior by the media.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

lol at Matt Yglesias forgetting to switch to his sock puppet account

president can send you to an El Salvador gulag with no due process and there is actually no legal recourse, scariest thing I've heard in a while

why are more people not talking about the 10% tariff on imports

i think about this post all the time
