Sorry kids, no Christmas gifts from uncle Bradley this year. He lost all his money trying to buy a skidoo with Grok.

Any dem candidate who doesn’t commit to putting Stephen Miller under a max security prison isn’t worth voting for.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

It’s worth the laugh to scroll back up the thread to see what terms he’s taking umbrage with here. Even funnier when you find the post of him essentially saying “but me insulting a large swath of people is different because it’s not insulting me, specifically!”

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

That’s not a mild disagreement

It’s the original version of Pursuit of Happiness by Kid Cudi. A song about the ultimate futility and self destructive nature of hedonism that masquerades as a party anthem. The remix, which is a more upbeat house party style that plays with zero of the self awareness, only makes it more millennial.

the babahuck@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social

had a debate last night about the definitive millennial song. some contenders: mgmt’s “kids,” yeah yeah yeah’s “maps,” kanye’s “all of the lights,” arcade fire’s “wake up,” postal service’s “such great heights,” animal collective’s “my girls,” lcd soundsystem’s “all my friends,” stroke’s “last nite”

ICE/DHS killed two American citizens and then called both of them domestic terrorists who deserved to die. Their social media accounts constantly make posts about how immigrants are enemies of America and are invading. What the fuck is a damn body cam supposed to do to prevent that?

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable. We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow. Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Reminder that the most (in)famous Free Press “reporting” piece before Bari left for CBS was letting a “whistleblower” lob allegations of medical malpractice against a transgender medical clinic. These allegations have been strongly denied but the piece is still up without any mention of the denial.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair." One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

Man shut the fuck up. His approval rating is under water and a majority of voters have never voted for him in an election. “These people are the 99%.” Fuck shit ass brain.

Jakub Jaraczewski@jakubjaraczewski.bsky.social

Trump does what he's really good at - owns the libs + appeals to the kind of people whose entire Facebook feed is photos of their kids (set to public because screw digital security) and AI slop. These people are the 99%.

Truly bizarre that pundits don’t look at the 24 election as some anomaly. The incumbent President dropped out of the race with like 4 months to go and there wasn’t time to do a primary so they had to go with a person who’s last presidential run ended in a whimper. It was weird!

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Utterly bizarre to describe climate change policy as some kind of radical-left albatross. The IRA contained precisely the kind of 'kitchen table' programs everyone says Democrats should focus on — and they're popular! The problem was that Americans *didn't know* what the IRA was or who passed it.

How hard is it to just write: “President Trump posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown and bombing No Kings protestors with diarrhea.”

The New York Times@nytimes.com

President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

Lol this person was bemoaning the lack of a free exchange of ideas earlier and is now accusing everyone critical of CBS News letting Bari Weiss dictate their news programming of being sexist

Sally Jenkins@sallyjenx.bsky.social

You think for ONE SEC that a man in her position who was named head of CBS News would be the subject of so much to-do? Come on.

In a sense this is true, the conservatives don’t want to resolve things in any final way so that they can deny the same powers to any future democratic president.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Motherfucker how hard is it to write “prohibits” instead of this “enshrined a tradition” bullshit

Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

This clown said “minor league football” lmao

bellinghamfitz@bellinghamfitz.bsky.social

Not your brother, but hey you live on what your conscience allows you to. Cover other games if not. Honestly, like you are forced to cover everything? There are so many minor league football games at any given moment. Choose others.

Charlie Kirk called Floyd a scumbag and spread the false claim Floyd died from an overdose so I’m not exactly sure what this is supposed to mean

Stacey Burns@wentrogue.bsky.social

Ok PBS just let David Brooks say that his friends texted him “this is our George Floyd”

Someone irl told me Kirk getting murdered was gonna drive conservatives to the polls for 2026 midterms lol

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

There are some people you should be legally allowed to spit on

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

I understand I’m being nit-picky, but the Republican Party never “warned about” authoritarianism. They used cries of authoritarianism to stifle the barest investigations of their crimes. It’s always been about making themselves immune from accountability.

The Atlantic@theatlantic.com

Donald Trump is using an imaginary crime spike in D.C. to deliver the authoritarian government his party once warned about, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

(Sees imagine of a starving child) The actual bad thing here is people will be upset by this.

Hen Mazzig@henmazzig.bsky.social

The New York Times didn’t just get a detail wrong. They used a real child and their very real suffering to emotionally manipulate their audience. They showed a boy who was nothing but skin and bones in order to elicit horror and anger.

I often reflect on how lucky I was that I could go to a public university in MS for cheap because my parents worked there. It also causes me to have doubts about my own achievements. Meanwhile, guy whose parents gave him 100k believes his success was genetically predisposed. Abolish rich people man.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

“When I graduated from business school, my parents gave me $100,000 in a settlor trust. My dad said that I would never inherit anything more as he wanted me to 'make it on my own.'”

Calling one of the hosts of 5-4 a “John Roberts’ propagandist” is a level of delusion that you just have to admire. Woo boy way too many people follow this person.

emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social

John Roberts' propagandists back out in style.

Thinking about all the Republicans who went to CECOT during this to do photo ops. Struggling to think of a punishment severe enough for all of them but particularly Kristi Noem.

Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social

“In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself…”

If you can’t see the difference between these uses of universal injunctions then idk what to tell you. The problem staring you in the face is republicans abusing whatever tools available to them and yet here you are saying this isn’t about politics.

Nicholas Bagley@nbagley.bsky.social

The fight here is not (or shouldn't be!) about left versus right. The fight is about the proper role of judges in our democratic system.

Thank you Father Dailey. I’m sure the belief that SCOTUS may one day, eventually say this EO is unconstitutional is very comforting to people whose children’s citizenship has now been throw into limbo by this decision.

Perk: The Pacers have put on a clinic tonight so far. We are heading towards a game 7 and I can’t wait. Stephen A: I want to take this moment to speak directly towards Ayatollah Khamenei…
