if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test

If I was the President and the whole world was calling me a pedophile, I would release every page of the Epstein files to prove I wasn't in there. Unless I was in there.

Had Joe Biden tweeted "Pete Buttigieg killed it on MSNBC this morning" and Buttigieg wasn't even on, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson would've written a book about it. Normal stuff from Trump though.

McGovern: "For those Republicans who think it's okay to give Jeff Bezos a tax cut and at the same time cut food benefits for struggling families, let me say clearly: We don't share the same values... I believe there's a special place in hell for people who take food away from veterans, seniors..."

I saw today a German publication referred to Trump as a sadist. It's true. It's a strong word. And we should use it more. He's a sadistic monster. Millions upon millions will die and suffer because of policies that he and those around him gleefully celebrate.

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

Incredible

Journalists asking Trump if he's going to do something blatantly illegal, immoral, or corrupt to get a sharp soundbite is very much a part of normalizing those things.

alright this has gone too far—there is simply no excuse for making Gavin Newsom sound cool as hell

I feel like Musk could really blow MAGA's collective minds just by continuing to tweet out facts the rest of us have known for years but never penetrated their media bubble.

the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. can't have too may enemies.

Joe Biden says he's started treatment for his prostate cancer and the prognosis is good. Donald Trump says Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced with a legion of clones. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

In dialogue with Jon Cohen, the author of Losing Big, about sports betting in the United States of America. We talk about the past, the present, and the future, and how we increasingly are turning psychological vulnerabilities into financial infrastructure. Enjoy! kyla.substack.com/p/gamblemeri...

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

I want to hear from the bettors who think the Rapture will come AND that Polymarket will still be paying out bets in the aftermath

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Trump is disappearing people, wants to strip people of citizenship, has assumed dictatorial budget powers, is ignoring court orders, tanking the economy, and taking open bribes left and right. Media: maybe the last President was sicker than he let on.

Big time fan and supporter of TeamUSA

my vet, who's hard of hearing: can you repeat your cat's name me:

Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One, the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martin's, Range Rovers, and Minis. *No other consumer good received carveouts.

“Griffen concedes” as if he had a %#!? choice. Will never ever forget these assholes. He shouldn’t be able to eat a fried shrimp in this state ever again. No one should help his wife find the right size at any store. May his grandkids grandkids only ever have middle school.

The king is insane, but it's his courtiers in GOP leadership who I want to see prosecuted if we survive this. They are letting the mad king destroy not just the US economy but the global one too. And for idiotic whims. No one thinks this is a good idea. No one. Hang them by their fucking thumbs.

it almost seems like real story here is that Elon Musk's car company, which is the only halfway-consistently profitable company he's ever run and worth the rest of the auto industry combined, somehow isn't his most important venture at the moment like, why is that exactly?

FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS to oppose the Trump administration...there is a strategy worth pursuing, one familiar to underdogs the world over: Push the aggressor beyond their limits. My latest, on Columbia, Harvard, immigration, Abrego Garcia, the Supreme Court, and why appeasing fascists does not work.

With Trump it’s impossible to calculate with precision at any moment the precise mixture of moronism, mendacity, and malevolence he’s displaying but you can always be sure all three traits are always actively in play.

This MS-13 tattoo thing is Trump in a microcosm, and worth some serious journalistic scrutiny. He is so terribly, insistently wrong. Is he that stupid? DId his staff deceive him? Was no one willing to tell him the truth? All of the above?

Trump’s Support Surges After He Points Gun At Nation

It’s true. If Trump was simply a different person who had promised to do different things then his presidency would be going great. No one could possibly have foreseen any of this.

Ugh I’m getting so many of these

gonna rewrite this one soon about pete hegseth fucking up secretary of defense and just going back to fox & friends

"It is nowhere near the end, we do not yet even know how it will end, and there will be many more disturbing developments before it does, but Thursday was a day for seeing why standing up matters — and can make a difference."

Bill Ackman didn’t vote for tariffs. He voted for using lies about antisemitism to take away free speech rights on campus and crack down on universities, get a tax cut for himself, try to help Russia win in Ukraine, and empower Elon Musk, while willfully ignoring all the tariff talk. Get it right.

the british didn’t understand what brexit meant for their economy. but they wanted it, they voted for it, and they’ve gotten it. now it’s the americans’ turn.

NOTE: Tonight, John Mulaney has the chance to do something important. Neal Katyal is a partner at Milbank, which just capitulated to Trump. Someone who knows Mulaney, please tell him about this and ask him to talk with Neal about it. I have laid it out here: www.lawdork.com/p/law-firms-...

Sorry we can't respond to your emergency, all our officers are providing a human shield to a large inventory of unwanted cars.

you should lose your law license for saying something like this in a public forum

No notes. 10 out of 10.

In case you were wondering, they are going full-out antisemitic against the Jewish judge that blocked Khalil’s deportation. Because none of this is about countering antisemitism. It’s about weaponizing (real) antisemitism to undermine democracy and the rule of law.
