Just speaking for myself but I was completely fine not knowing what Matt Yglesias thought about basically anything

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

i really do think that a successful impeachment and removal of hegseth is a live possibility if dems win the senate. he is a genuine disaster.

serious question

Your all-too-regular reminder that Republicans in Congress think this is just fine.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

the second el-sayed chose to treat tommy as an equal and not a nuisance, tommy was cooked

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

Pete Hegseth wasn't lying about us getting to see someone die on live TV.

Just the president cheering on his crowd as they physically assault a woman

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

Anne Carson getting the Nobel Prize is perfect. Here's a sample of her wit and intelligence. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v3...

who knows if jackson can win this thing but i am glad that he is making clear that susan collins's whole scam is to do everything she can to make life worse for mainers and then take credit for mitigating it in the slightest way possible

Goddamn, this point by @anandwrites.bsky.social really needed saying.

Trump on Canada: "Lake Ontario is now Lake America. They're gonna come in and they're gonna say, 'Sir, we are sorry.'"

It's unreal that nothing has happened to Traitor Trump. This insanity has been going on for damn near two years. What the FUCK are we waiting for?

They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

This was the video I was looking for yesterday to post. I follow Joshua Wright on instagram because we are both passionate about saving old trees. This was an ancient forest valley that was recently logged on Vancouver Island. They cut down one of the largest Yellow Cedar tree in Canada. 😢

The “radical left” wants you to be able to eat a salad and go to the doctor. Super scary stuff.

Sometimes society at large rejects certain ideas because they’ve been thoroughly shown to be wrong and also because they suck and the people who espouse them suck and when someone comes around arguing those ideas should be part of some edgy modern debate we can and should shun them and move on.

may need to print this and hang it on the wall in my office at this rate

"I'm fairly certain I understand".

For the first time in US history, America betrays South Korea, one of our closest allies for over 75 years. These exercises in various forms have taken place every year since 1974.

The lead for every network news broadcast should be the president falling asleep in the middle of a press conference in the Oval Office for the umpteenth time. But it won’t be and likely won’t be mentioned or shown. Again. What a joke network news is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

This is the story of how a group of perfectly ordinary neighbors took on one of the worst landlords in New York. And won. Introducing, the Union of Pinnacle Tenants: the short film. Watch the full film: youtu.be/h5dvGKI26ZA

Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure

Whatever comes out of his pie hole is lie!

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' proposal to end Donald Trump's IRS sweetheart deal. This deal gives him FULL IMMUNITY from audits on tax returns he's filed. It's corruption on steroids.

Trump makes clear that he still supports the taxpayer-funded J6 slush fund: "I will always feel that these victims of govt abuse should be paid back ... Millions agree with me, as was proven in my landslide Presidential win, where this was a major subject of debate."

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

The assets keep mocking him...but guess what he is doing? Implementing a policy agenda to make people's lives better Every single day

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.
