I’ll save you the hate click to note that the author is an interior designer with a podcast and a new book to sell, so just keep on walking

Same play as last week’s complaint against former FBI officials: charge first, figure out whether you can get an indictment from a skeptical DC grand jury later www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

I'm going to say this for probably the 20th time now .... Comey was an Original Classification Authority at the time he allegedly disseminated the national defense information at issue here. Assuming it was FBI information, he had the authority to declassify it at his discretion.

Every fairytale I ever read as a child (and as an adult) assured me that in a world full of monsters, hiding in the forest, there will also be loving friends, willling to accompany you through it. #DailyChester

The AirBnB people whining about the incredibly postmature rules changes are hilarious. Hey, here's an idea, if you don't want to pay someone to clean up after guests don't run a fucking lodging business!

Don't forget this. Too many have.

WOW they’re just putting that racist shit out there on Main

Roberts *explicitly* stated that POTUS has immunity even for directing a “sham” prosecution or one with an improper purpose or motivation. He can also promise to pardon anyone who follows his orders. As AG says, what’s the downside, for anyone?

Great work everyone.🇺🇸

These riots are about the bored nihilism of young men, mostly, not about education www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

Can you believe it? No, because in the real world radar was invented by Sir Robert Watson-Watt. Donald's brain's is a Roomba stuck under a chair.

We’ve hit this stage of constitutional collapse. Q: Any thoughts on the Alaska lawsuit with the ballot? Trump: I’m the one that said ‘do it’.

Arabic names (including Somali and Egyptian names) are usually patrilineal patronymics. Your "middle name" is typically your father's first name. Your "last name" could be your grandfather's first name or your family name, or both, and you might use both interchangeably. None of this is nefarious.

Of all the architectural destruction Trump is doing to DC, this is the one I feel is the most abhorrent. (cartoon from 2025)

The reason we keep hearing about desperate schemes to boost Republican chances in the midterms—Announce we're buying Russian diesel! Sue to preemptively reject a Democratic victory in Alaska!—is because they don't have a secret plan that will overturn a midterm loss, not because they do.

Well, maybe it's time to subscribe, because the article answers all those questions. Short version: Good jobs, but you can't show up high every day

we gotta figure out a better way to write headlines about this thing that cannot and will not happen

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

if you believe that Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, I've got a $5,000 Trump dividend and some Melania memecoin to sell you

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Email from the official Social Security site. Uh, did they create an account for my kids even when I told them no? Because it certainly looks like they went ahead and created an account for every kid to juice their numbers.

This piece is well worth reading to end, for the quite evocative comparison of Trump’s last days to the final scene of Sunset Boulevard (if you haven’t seen it, I highly reccomend)

Canadian Ambassador to the UN David Lametti casually delivering his speech in Italian at the first Italophony Day at the United Nations. That’s multilateralism in action. 🇨🇦🇮🇹🇺🇳

Columbus Dispatch: The conduct of Vivek Ramaswamy in attacking his rival has been reckless, shameful and morally depraved. Therefore we are pulling our support for Ramaswamy and endorsing his rival, Amy Acton, instead. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

988,000 people bought into Trump’s crypto scam. Maybe start there.

It would be bad enough for JD Vance to just say nothing. But it takes some kind of evil to unilaterally come out IN SUPPORT of Ramaswamy's "I believe the rapist over the child victim" commercials. No wonder this party won't release the Epstein Files.

"can you believe the effrontery, they tried to hit us back"

Ohio: Oh yes, the Dem Gubernatorial candidate HAS TOO excelled despite a nightmarish childhood. MN: Oh yes, the Dem Senate candidate IS TOO really smart and always has been in spite of economic challenges. Who's next?

Vance is in Ohio to support the Ramaswamy campaign, which is in hot water for an ad in which they promote a woman who sided with her husband after he was arrested for raping her 12-year-old daughter. For his intro song, they chose ... Jerry Lee Lewis, who famously married his 13-year-old cousin.

PATHETIC. The American man was imprisoned and tortured as a result of the Russian illegal occupation of Kharkiv area - Izym. They make him shake hands and thank the Russians. PR election stunt to follow.

If your elderly relative routinely blew up at women and insulted them, grossly sexualized other men in public, regularly fell asleep in public mid-meeting repeatedly, and babbled incoherently you'd put him under care and not let him make important decisions.

Elon Musk fully believes that the entire US Government is fully under his control. And he may be right.

Saudi Arabia (majority stake) and Jared Kushner (minority stake) buying Electronic Arts is one of the underrated instances of oligarchic media consolidation. Should be considered along similar lines as the Ellisons taking over Warner Bros.-Discovery or Musk taking over Twitter.

This man is an absolute menace. Securing the future of liberal democracy will require dealing with him.

Apparently, platforming someone's estranged mother -- who fled the state with her fugitive husband after he was charged with raping her 12-year-old daughter -- "calls it out like it is."

Who does Musk claim is "pulling the strings"? Soros? Zelenskyy? Maybe the ghosts of the children he's helped to kill in Ukraine and Africa?

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

A U.S. envoy calling murderer Putin a humanitarian while visiting him in Kremlin — when after failing to achieve his military goals, Putin directs Ukrainian civilians to be hunted in the streets or executed in their own homes. Kids will read about this one day and ask: what was everyone else doing?
