The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

perfect synopsis of modern Republicanism

Attacking the Pope for being soft on crime is an objectively hilarious thing to do. It's the type of thing you would do if you became President in a videogame, because you just wanted to see what would happen.

If Trump just comes out every day and says he is closer to a deal with Iran, then we can get the DOW to 60,000 and oil near $0.

The agent, Jonathan Ross, was dragged by a vehicle and injured during a June operation in the Twin Cities, court records show.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map. This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026. The vote failed big, 19/31. The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious. Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.” “That sounds terrible.” “What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

Large language models steal from authors in order to produce content. So we have a simple pledge: No generative AI features.

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

Culture Warlords is exceptional. After you read this, you should also read Wild Faith.

congrats to pizzagate for making the main epstein guy president

What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker

I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

Evansville, Indiana #NoKings protest.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Trump vs. Musk is Drake vs. Kendrick with two Drakes

"I'd crusade if the new Pope asked me to" wow, cool. What if he asked you to love and protect immigrants

MFW I get 2 dolls instead of 30.

This is good stuff, but PLEASE at least call out Schumer by name. The man has to go. It is incredibly damaging to have him be the face of the Democratic Party and there are so many better options for the job in the senate.

We're literally doing the meme.

New approval polls note that Trump has “bottomed out” at 43%. We should be shocked it’s that high, not that low. If 43% of Americans watched their house burn down and still said the arsonist is doing a great job, we’d call that a cult.

We need one of those breathalyzer car ignition interlocks that habitual drunk drivers get, but for Pete Hegseth to unlock his phone.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

democrats i swear to god if you back away from a fight where you have the moral high ground against a political opponent with tanking approval numbers that the entire country is mad at right now, i swear to GOD yall i freaking swear

Tesla down 15%. Now is the time to double down on protests. The far right showed what they can do with Bud Light. Let those who support LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, government workers, and diversity show what we can do with Tesla. Those driving Teslas should be seen as collaborators.

That is an insane summary of his actions which, to date, have included coercing doctors to drop their trans patients, confiscating our passports, censoring any mention of us across the federal government, purging us from the Defense Department, and forcing trans women into men's prisons

the stock market has gone woke

I replaced my NYT subscription with a @wired.com subscription.

Is there an obscure Senate rule that says there must always be at least 1 terrible Democratic senator? We got rid of Manchin and Sinema, and now Fetterman sucks.

im not even exaggerating when i tell you i truly do believe my book does a lot to clarify the social agenda, motivations and vast goals of a big swathe of the current admin's people, and their lawlessness. (they see themselves as answering to god's law, not man's.)

i recently did the same, they wrote an incredible story detailing the staff elon musk unleashed plundering the government, it’s important to support actual journalism when the mainstream media fails us. their subscription is only $5 right now for a year, too!

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

Quoting anything Trump's white house says without independently verifying it is Printing Lies in the Newspaper. Don't print lies in the newspaper.

it’s astonishing that trumps gambit here seems to be “we are going to creative a self inflicted new wave of unemployment”

Does RFK Jr's brain worm get its own confirmation hearing, or do they do both at the same time?

Generative AI is essentially copy paste but with large datasets analyzed probabilistically. Maybe that's useful but it's not intelligence and doesn't justify the absurd amounts of investment it's attracted

Elon Musk's Nazi salute looks terrible, but the thing I wish we would acknowledge is that he is just truly stupid. A complete, unthinking imbecile. He wildly made this gesture at a presidential inauguration because he only has a rudimentary ability to think.

A friend just texted that Whole Foods now has eggs for $0.25 per dozen. HE DID IT in just two minutes!

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.
