This is the most incredible, instructive, and destructive development in modern politics.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

That Abdul El-Sayed clip with “Tommy” shows why we need smart people in governance—and indeed smart people who are willing to be smart about governance. El-Sayed is such a relief in the Age of Enstupidment.

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?

never the wrong time for this classic

this for RFK Jr. is mission accomplished

“Cutting this much from the university budget will mean that some of the core functions of the university will be lost. It’s not possible to just do more with less — to work smarter, to trim around the edges. We’re going to have to do less with less.” Gift link: www.startribune.com/umn-cuts-sta...

Deep dives like this really put into perspective what Chief Justice Rehnquist was doing in 2000 when he resurrected the Court’s precedents of the 1870s and 1880s, writing that their authors “had intimate knowledge and familiarity with the events surrounding the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment.”

Fun fact: They banned chemtrails in Florida and weeks afterward, DeSantis was still getting angry tweets from his constituents online because they were "still seeing chemtrails." Genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever seen, straight-up appealing to the dumbest possible people

Michele Tafoya would rather be in Mar-A-Lago than Minnesota, and it shows.

And this is why we need comedians (his name is Clayton English)

Burn in Hell.

Peggy Flanagan needs our help in Minnesota! Her opponent is a conservative Democrat with an atrocious record that includes voting to pass the Laken Riley Act and thank ICE for its service. Election Day is a week away, so join us later today to get out the vote for Peggy’s people-powered campaign.

🚨 The Department of Energy admitted that Russell Vought cancelled hundreds of grants in October 2025 "based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient's state." It is long overdue—Democrats MUST move to impeach Vought, and Blue State Republicans need to answer for their complicity.

Leavitt confirms that Trump is unilaterally changing the terms of the Saudi nuclear deal via Truth Social posts without even contacting any Saudi officials

Every single fucking time the question “how did this get worse,” the answer is motherfucking private equity.”

Fox still displays Thierry Henry as 2000 UEFA Cup winner. He lost to Turkiye’s Galatasaray on penalty shots! Geez!

The same Harlan Crow who has a mansion full of Nazi memorabilia?🙄

The effects of under- or mis-funded science don’t typically appear for years and sometimes decades—if they’re noticed at all. That’s why the stories of today’s advances are so important: They are a reminder of what could be possible.

During a ballet performance of “Romeo and Juliet” in Izmir, Turkey, a cat unexpectedly joined the actors in the final scene of the show and completely stole the show with its antics.

Beginning in 1934, the Reich Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, never denied the existence of concentration camps, instead he defended them as necessary to defend the blood and honor of the German people from murderers, rapists, pedophiles and drug dealers.

Wolfgang at your service. Will do anything for treats!

Minneapolis celebrates spring with a parade of giant handmade socialist puppets and a festival where people row the sun across the lake. This year's Mayday festival was today, and I'm going to try to share some photos and videos (many taken by others) to try to explain it for my non-local friends.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

one of my favorite annual features, it always looks like the absolute worst time you can have at a sporting event

Happy Appomattox day to those who celebrate

REMINDER: ICE Executed Renee Good 3 Months Ago. She Was Killed by the Kind of State Violence Our Founding Fathers Warned Against | Once a state teaches its agents that force is the solution, force becomes their habit. That’s how police states are formed out of democracies. #AbolishICE

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Want some good news? Heck yeah you do. CDC colleagues recently published a paper showing the decline in cervical cancer among young women in the US, thanks to effective prevention measures like the HPV vaccine. Huzzah for public health! #NationalPublicHealthWeek Read the abstract and text here:

Players with 21 point-per-game seasons: Sidney Crosby. End of list.

Ready for the blizzard in Minneapolis

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

I can't adopt a rent right now. But maybe you can.

1953. It would appear that absolutely NOTHING has changed

A Comment article published in Communications Psychology argues that the rush to study AI is producing a feedback loop of topical and methodological convergence, flattening scientific imagination and crowding out the pluralism needed to keep research adaptive. 🧪 #ArtificialIntelligence
