Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

‘If it was anybody else, we’d arrest him tomorrow,' Justice Department aide said of Trump

A handful of documents found by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago were so sensitive that even a senior Justice Department official didn’t have authorization to see them.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Mamdani is not a radical. He has run a tight, smart, fairly standard local campaign. He'll probably get 20 or 30 percent of his platform if he's lucky. The one radical thing he's done is told the Times to go to hell. He has campaigned every step of the way like he doesn't need them, and he's right.

#TCMParty All The President's Men is airing and I am torn between loving every dry, irascible moment of Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee, marvelling at the non-confirmation confirmations, and mourning the loss of a great newspaper in our present era.

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our country—pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialists—are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world. The Uniparty would never have achieved what it has in this country without a great degree of rottenness, of decadence, of torpor, of complacency already

Some years ago, I worked with a man who had an undergraduate business degree and went on to do an MBA. One time, in the break room, making small talk I asked him if he'd read any good books lately. With zero irony he said "I never read."

I've been thinking about this a lot these days...

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
