Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

This is a prescription for fascism espoused by one of the country's leading defense contractors.

This reads like someone spent the weekend in their bedroom procrastinating on r/politics instead of writing their A.P. Government final.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops. CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

I'm reminded of 2017 to 2021, every week someone would say "Tonight he became presidential!" It was a running gag among my friends that when Trump did anything we'd go "After years of being president, he's finally become president!" It was the most demeaning insult that I could imagine.

American not only becoming a cult of personality but becoming the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the human species is a lot to process

5’th Amendment: “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process.” It doesn’t say anything about citizenship status, party affiliation, religion or race. Just “person.”

Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

Early 2000s gaming had no politics? My darlings, Deus Ex was released in 2000.

I think there's something hilarious about chuds saying the 2000s was peak gaming because there were no politics or minorities or whatever meanwhile these were some of 2004's biggest releases

Somewhere out there someone has posted 10,000 words explaining how Cyberpunk 2077 is apolitical. That person is an uneducated troglodyte.

Pam Bondi would apparently sacrifice her child for the markets to go up 1%.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

So if I have this straight, the airspace around El Paso got shut down for ten days because the military got spooked and fired up the Annihilator Ray 3000 and it was a party balloon

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

I know for a fact that Mike Johnson is in the United States of America illegally and therefore, by his own logic, be immediately arrested and deported without a trial.

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

If all these oligarchs named in the Epstein Files are totally innocent, surely they’d be in favor of an independent investigation into Epstein’s crimes. Right?
