Not a serious party.

Suspend Cade Cavalli, @mlb. Racism has no place in any sport

When did being a U.S. Senator become a make-work job?

What if they rewrote The Giving Tree, but instead the boywas a venture capitalist and the Tree was America’s working class? Oh, and instead of the tree letting the tired boy rest on its stump, the boy came back and ground the stump into mulch and sold it? That would be good and true

It’s true—I should spend less at Amazon

Leonard Leo’s handpicked puppet says what?

It’s remarkable how irrelevant the House and Senate have made their role in American governance. We’re close to having two branches of government. This is why some of the most talented young politicians (Sherrill, Spanberger) are quitting to run for Governorships—they have power to do some good

The irony of the US approaching its 150th birthday under an administration that regularly violates the First, Second, Fourth, Eighth and Tenth Amendments is lost on way too many people

Apparently the El Paso Airport was shut down because of airborne threats launched by the Quinceañera Cartel

Imagine being the yutz that watched Kid Rock instead of that

I just read The New Yorkers profile on Bari Weiss and it conveyed her enormous sense of self regard so effectively. She asserts her right to be in any room, regardless of her lack of expertise or experience, they proceeds to lecture everyone in that room. What an empty suit.

I miss the days when we could read about the deravity of the ruling elite of the Roman Empire and shake our heads and be grateful that nothing like that whatever ever happen in the United States

And yet….

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

I just saw the AJ Brown GEICO commercial. I thought he dropped his coverage as well. Sorry, Eagles fans

I always love these interviews with people that support openly illegal and/or Constitutionally prohibited actions by the government because it “drives liberals crazy.” Imagine loving our system of government so little that you’re willing to trash it just to piss some people off.

Does anyone else find it unsettling that the President of the United States now refers to himself in the third person?

At what point did @unitedairlinesx.bsky.social decide to become shills for the Administration? My grandfather joined United in the mid-1930s and stayed until was too ill to continue in the 1970s. I was always proud of that association. Not anymore. Luckily, there are a lot of other airlines to fly

We’re definitely in Bizarroland when the President who promised to drain the swamp can talk about pardoning a convicted sex trafficker without a bingo of shame or irony

Beginning to believe that Trump was a useful fool for the tech oligarchs all along and now Murdoch and Thiel and Musk are sunsetting him with the help of Vance. Just a vibe, no proof, but this is getting very strange. Where is Trump?

When you get right down to it, crypto is really just a place for Boegess, drug runners, gun, smugglers, and tax evaders to hide their money. And the desire to participate in that enterprise as a way to make money says all you need to know about late stage capitalism

It’s really quite remarkable how out of touch with Democrats are. With every single constituent demographic. Just tone deaf across the board

Now that Assad has fallen and fled to Moscow, Tulsi Gabbard will only have to take one trip to be advised on U.S. foreign policy. So convenient for Putin and Assad to make it a one-stop shop.

Here’s the truth about how our institutions work—inertia is the default. There are a thousand pathway to get to “no.” Housing, public transit, you name it. So obvious fixes don’t get done or cost 10x as much as they should. That’s a big reason people have lost faith in our government

The irony of “holding government workers accountable” using a group of white men who have never been held accountable for anything in their life is not lost on me

If I hear one more Trumpist talk about “unity,” I’m really going to lose it.
