I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Trump says the -818k 2024 benchmark payroll revisions show BLS commissioner McEntarfer was political and incompetent. Let’s look at the facts. 1. The revisions were released in Aug 2024, not Nov 15 as the president said. So the BLS release showing far less job growth came 3 mos. BEFORE the election

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

How can anyone believe that Joe Biden is the president we need to worry about? He did a great job! Focus on the current White House occupant who is corrupt, incompetent, dishonest, delusional, and actively destroying this country.

I've always loved Paul Rudnick's wit.

Trump again showed how weak he is but threats remain both to the economy worldwide and to democracy in America and they ought to focus our attention. In fact, the peril is so great, there is really only one issue before us all. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Incredible. Powerful. Tragic. Please share.

Abhorrent. Cowardly. Disgraceful. I've never needed their services and couldn't afford them if I did, but to anyone to whom they provide legal counsel, fire Paul Weiss. They don't fight for themselves, why would they fight for you?

Paul Weiss, pathetic. Stop doing business with this law firm, folks. Reward people and organizations that stand strong and don't bend the knee. www.semafor.com/article/03/1...

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

almost every single word that Sen. John Kennedy says about Dr. Fauci and covid in this clip is false. It's remarkable how Trumpers have concocted a completely fictional history of the pandemic.

This exactly. When are Democrats in Congress going to stand up and fight back? Where is the outrage? Where is the leadership?

Don't be duped, It was Trump³⁴ in 2020 who called for the original fight to ban Tik Tok! He feared it would hurt his election chances Then the MAGA GOP lead Congress passed the bill to ban Tik Tok last Summer Trump³⁴'s SCOTUS majority upheld that bill last week time.com/7207995/trum...

Coming from Rebecca Solnit, this makes me even more afraid than I already was.

If you’re looking at the United States from the outside, we Are blinking twice.😞😞

What’s up with Elon carrying his son on his shoulders all over the country like some kind of prop he thinks makes him look like a fun father? Please. No little kid is having a good time hanging out at Maralago with a bunch of MAGA morons. And what about his other kids? Not photogenic enough?

TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies! BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that. MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent. George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s. Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.

As much as MAGA wants to make it so, Hunter wasn’t pardoned for anything related to their fantasy that Joe got money from Ukraine. Comer held years of hearings on it and wouldn’t even hold a vote on it because he knew it would fail. Don’t let them rewrite the history of this too.

Couldn't disagree more. The person who did damage to the rule of law is the criminal who withheld funds from Ukraine unless they invented dirt on the Bidens, planned a coup, incited a violent attack on the capital, was convicted of SA and 34 felonies, is about to take office, and is out for revenge.

If your whine about the Hunter pardon does not account for: 1) Trump withholding appropriated $$ to get dirt on Hunter 2) Rudy soliciting dirt from known RU spy for same 3) Barr setting up side channel to ingest that 4) SOMEHOW informant framing Joe Biden with transparently false claim

It is LITERALLY a crime for the President to demand tax investigations of people. It is LITERALLY true that Trump got involved in Hunter's investigation while President. The Delaware judge said that didn't matter.

Again, if you know details of the 6-year campaign against Hunter, incl withholding of appropriated funds to get dirt on him, your lawyer soliciting dirt from a RU spy to get that dirt, your AG setting up a side channel to ingest that dirt, and then digging that all up again for a second campaign...

President Biden pardoned Hunter, thank God. Since he first said he wouldn't, we'll now be inundated with attacks on Biden's trustworthiness. Meanwhile, Trump pardoned all kinds of creepy criminals, lies about his intentions (Project 2025 anyone?), and the right - and the media - couldn't care less.

Fun fact: there’s never been a Democratic director of the FBI in its entire history.

A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

Thank you to everyone who put together starter packs. I was afraid to leave the place owned by the evil one, but I'm feeling more at home here now that I see so many of my favorite, familiar people.
