The first episode is live! I dig into the mission of the show, talk about the security vulnerabilities that hit last week, give an update on my switch to Linux, and take some listener Qs.

Microsoft should exit the gaming industry and preferably my plane of existence. If BDS was not enough to convince sideliners, what MS did to id is unforgivable. Perhaps the most important western gaming studio in existence - a historied house of culture and art with genre defining talent.

It is so effing boring to be hit with BS doomer posturing so regularly. Again: 1) Midterm elections matter 2) Presidential approval matters a lot in midterms 3) Public opinion matters b/c it tells us something about who we are 4) It's good that Trumpist populism is failing as a long term project!

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics. Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

I remain baffled by writers who hail AI as some kind of intellectual succor when a.) originality is our calling card; and b.) AI is just a fancy regurgitation machine.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over

FITCH: ".. Call it Liberation Day 2.0—arguably the first one with tangible upside for U.S. consumers and corporate profitability. This is a material rollback: more than 60% of the 2025 tariffs effectively vanish .. removing more than $200 billion in expected annual tariff collections."

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

Listening to Trump Admin officials, you'd never guess that the US stock market underperformed the rest of the world in 2025.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

There was once a plan to run a bus lane and a protected bicycle lanes down Westwood Boulevard. It might have been one of Los Angeles' great promenades. Instead, NIMBYs killed the proposal, and now it's a round-the-clock car sewer where people randomly die in extremely violent ways.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

What a coincidence

Incumbents will be tempted to lay low, make minimal promises and coast in complacently. They need to be pushed -- primary challengers and town halls, etc. Get promises of action now so they hit the ground running when they retake Congress. Stake out a clear agenda, win a strong mandate, get moving.

Republicans redistricted to win five new seats in Texas. All five are projected to be between R+4 and R+8. To achieve this, they diluted their advantage in other districts. A 15-point swing in November wipes out Republican control of the state. A 30-point swing erases Republicans in Texas entirely.

This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement

Chuck Schumer is going to introduce a non-binding resolution requesting that federal agents wipe their feet on the doormat before storming into a journalist's home at 2am to arrest them for angering the president.

The Los Angeles Police won’t enforce California’s mask ban on ICE because it’s only a misdemeanor. Entering the USA illegally is also merely a misdemeanor. But that’s the “crime” for which we’ve unleashed a secret army of armed MASKED goons to brutalize supposed infractors

Tomorrow is a National Day of Action. I hope you all join everyone across the country who are resisting ICE.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position. They are losing.

If you're in that Signal chat, you should start posting excerpts from that NYTimes expose with all the FBI agents mocking him.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

1/26: 10:15 a.m. CBP 🧊 cluster raids starting in Koreatown, Pico/Union, Salvadoran Corridor this morning. ICE also in Riverside

Pregame moment of silence for Alex Pretti, followed by several yells of "Fuck ICE!"

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

This is Minneapolis. Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
