For the life of me I don’t understand going to the effort - time, money, everything - of running for Congress, winning, and then just rolling over. It makes no sense.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Seems like Trump’s most powerful advisor being a white nationalist should inspire greater alarm than the possible mayor of new york being pro palestinian rights

Donald Trump is a fool and Congress is full of cowards.

I believe that the rule of law is good. #freedom

I believe that diversity is good. #freedom

I believe that immigration is good. #freedom

Waiting for the inevitable story about Trump’s rage re his farcical military parade.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Why does Google insist on throwing an AI chatbot or summary at me everywhere I go? I don’t want it.

Masked thugs kidnapping people off of the street are not heroes.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

One way to think about it is that Trump/DOGE is not just hurting science in the US, but hurting science globally. Science will still continue, of course, but on a much smaller scale, with the US becoming less impt. The pace of global innovation will decline. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/politicizi...

This is wild. Fox News is telling viewers the polls showing Trump tanking can't be right because he's a world-historical success. But even some callers to right wing media are saying the tariffs are a huge problem for them. Exchange w @mattgertz.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1948...

You know, Frankenstein's monster also turned out very different from his maker's intent

This is truly a remarkable unearthing of the intellectual space being populated by elites, in particular elite tech and moneyed Trumpers: www.semafor.com/article/04/2...

Yeah this is a truly terrible, no good, awful take from @mattyglesias.bsky.social

@govpritzker.illinois.gov leading the way by adopting a state-wide boycott of El Salvador, hoping other states join. Everyone should boycott El Salvador, which is running concentration camps with our tax dollars. Boycotts such as these should be freely exercised. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

Why wouldn't any rational person just short Tesla right now?

It’s not just Kilmar Obrego Garcia. ICE is disappearing innocent people in NYC too.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

“Pro life.”

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

These are the principles, set out by the great Judge Simon Rifkind, that once governed Paul Weiss. They should take his name out of the firm’s name out of respect for his memory.

Granting a criminal absolute immunity and then putting him in charge of law enforcement turns out to be a mistake.
