Not “the media.” His PR team and right-wing propaganda outlets are media, but they are not “the” media.

For no mere mortal can resist the evil of the …

Schmidt: Isn’t it true that you had an affair with the fiancée of a steel tycoon’s son while on a transatlantic cruise? I don’t think you know that we have this nude portrait of her that you drew. Jack Smith: Do you think I’m Jack from Titanic?

How much could a banana cost? Ten dollars?

Help me make sense of this: Is he endorsing @petebuttigieg.bsky.social for president, or is he advocating for regulating AI under his own administration?

This is where I post from.

In case we wondered how out of touch the GOP is with voters: The *leader of the GOP* doesn’t even register their anger as criticism — even when he sees it with his own eyes in his own self-curated social media feed. HE’S TALKING ABOUT YOU, DONALD!

I'll be willing to buy the desirability of data centers once they locate one in Beverly Hills and one next to Mar-A-Lago.

We've gotta make the Monorail Simpsons episode required viewing for every city councilor in the country. Every single thing he says here is a lie. A Potemkin Village Imaginarium.

This InfoWars caper is going a little too well. We need to staff up a bit. We're hiring a Social Media Lead, who will help make InfoWars the network of the future. We need someone who is extraordinarily online, has big ideas for how things break through in 2026, and can pull those ideas off quick.

Just really feeling appreciative today that Donald John Trump rushed the Covid vaccine through and took it himself and told everyone to. Good job Trump MAKING THE COVID VACCINE

Don’t we all close our eyes in reverence at funerals? I do it at sporting events too. UFC matches. NBA Finals. The World Cup. And high-level meetings. World summits. Press conferences. Parades held on my birthday.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court ion Tuesday struck down parts of Florida’s Stop WOKE Act, calling it a “breathtaking assertion of power” that unconstitutionally censors what state university and college professors can discuss with their students about race, sex and other forms of bias.

I talked to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today. We talked about Graham Platner, the Iran war, and what we should do about a potential vacancy if a certain official were to become incapacitated in an election year. “Oh, we’d fill it,” he said with a sinister smirk. Fill it, Kentucky!

OMG. I’m dying. 😭 This is a day after his “Three Strokes and You’re Out” post.

The Sun-Times is public media, and IMO is pretty good (particularly since becoming non-profit).

For the first time on record, solar generated more electricity than coal across the entire U.S. - despite active federal policy pushing the other direction. Read more at the link below!

The crazy thing is that for most of my life I would go ten, fifteen, sometimes even thirty minutes at a time without thinking about the Reflecting Pool.

Trump, obsessed with appearance, insists the capital be pristine for our nation’s 250th anniversary. He’s gussying up statues and the reflecting pool (never mind algaegate). He even dressed the Kennedy Center in seersucker. Yes, his taste is tacky (see WH Rose Garden), but THIS? For America’s 250th?

This is an incredibly smart sentence.

So they’re finally admitting they pulled those “missing ballots” out of their recto?

How do I get Bluesky to stop showing me dead-pet skeets from people I don’t know. I see at least one a day. As an HSP, I need it to stop. 😭

I never realized how much he looks like Jack Nicholson. I just wish he hadn’t stormed out before completing the transformation. #Trump #MTP #werewolf

Look what happened today! My first-ever peony! 😍

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

We Are a Democracy! “We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." This is like saying "I don't have a dog, I have a golden retriever." A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. You didn't catch anyone in a gotcha. You told everyone you don't know what words mean.

I have legit lost my voice from doing an Alex Jones impression once an hour or so for the last three days. Nobody hates this man more than his own larynx.

This is great! 😂

👏👏👏

I asked CoPilot, hardly a lawyer, but nor am I. It agrees a simple law won't cut it, but if I asked the other way, maybe it would have answered differently, to agree with me, since it wants to be friends, except not helping me steal stuff! bsky.app/profile/did:...

OK. I’ll admit it. In the early 2000s, as I lamented getting stuck with the dumbest president imaginable, I actually believed (assumed) Donald Trump was … intelligent. 🫣 Alas, in the words of President George W. Bush: “Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

Hear, hear! But you’re SO delicious, cheese. I wish I knew how to quit you!

Among the things revealed in the Epstein files: the reason why tech billionaires are so desperate for A.I. to compose their emails.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.

I almost didn’t write this post because it was so obvious. But apparently it wasn’t. presswatchers.org/2026/01/jour...

“I don’t agree with the government, so I can’t run for office.” FFS! What nation is this?!

@juliorvarela.com: “High-quality reporting must be free and open, supported by collective models that value impact over manufactured growth.” www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/audi...

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago
