Imagine a young man. Coddled. Narcissist. Nascent-sadist, maybe. Wielding his Lack-of-shame as a scythe to mow through NY society, he encounters an opportunity. It seemed too good to be true... (1/x)

There’s a little squirrel in the background clutching his head and screaming ‘Nooooooo! My Pension Fund!’

Imagine a single week where Bolsonaro gets booted, Netanyahu gets dumped, and Republicans lose both the House and Senate. Here's to crushing fascism across the globe. 💙 🌊

In 2020, Jared Kushner was senior advisor to the president of the United States, a full-time employee of the United States government, and was subject to numerous disclosure requirements and ethical restrictions under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

Again, it's not just that this is appalling and indecent. It's that it reveals someone inhabiting a moral universe where even the concept of decency is so unfathomable and alien that it doesn't even occur to you to attempt a half-assed impression of how someone who isn't human garbage might react.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

A previous generation of professional ratfuckers might not have balked at this on *moral* grounds, but they’d at least have recognized that normal people would find it repugnant. The current crop are so divorced from humanity they’ve lost even the ability to imagine how decent people think.

Vivek Ramaswamy's team saw his ugly attack ad as a 'stroke of genius': report #RawStory

No, no, @vanityfair.com just published a piece about the conspiracy to coverup the president's declining health

I know I've been on this bullshit before and I know this is an audience that largely agrees but I just have to yell at this particular cloud today: it is an absolute failure on the part of major news organizations that we have so little reporting on the president's physical and cognitive health.

This is an obvious conclusion, no matter how much you want to find a way to not draw it.

I love New York. But also this woman specifically is absolutely hilarious

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race. Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

I was on a very funny show to talk about my serious new book: “HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America.” Check it out. Check out the book at HowRussiaWon.com

"Morbidly rich" Perfect.

You’re talking about morbidly rich people who would rather see people, including children, starve, suffer and die in order not to pay taxes.

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

I have an idea...

NEW: A Black MAGA influencer who spent years promoting Trump and Republicans says she was KICKED OUT of a Ken Paxton rally at the request of his campaign manager. The visibly upset creator, who has over 200,000 TikTok followers, says she drove two hours to attend and has no idea why she was removed

Late to this Bloomberg piece on Marc Andreessen. This is one of the key things. Andreessen is *angry* about how he has been treated, when any objective observer might note he has benefited enormously from the institutions he now purports to detest. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

Josh Hawley staffer and political operative Tommy: You are supposedly a Christian. Have you disavowed Christian domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, The Aryan Nation, the KKK, Eric Robert Rudolph, and Dylann Roof, etc., etc., etc.? If not, what are YOUR allegiances?

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Zirkle 黄智猴 reposted

Marisa's entire piece is terrific, but this part has really stuck with me. A group of College Republicans decided that El-Sayed wasn't "welcome" in the Senate and set out to stop him.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

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.
