I actually do want the next president to appoint someone like Stephen Miller, except I want it to be Bill Kristol, and I want his monomaniacal obsession to be destroying Trump’s legacy and prosecuting everyone in the administration.

The destruction for destruction’s sake is exhausting.

The more evidence mounts that Platner is lying, the more convinced I become that he is lying not only about his past but also about his current views.

CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it.

Really don’t love how we’re letting the obnoxious nazi poli-sci guy just declare things are felonies and act like that makes it so.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Important to note there's no election in CA except for the ballot measure. So this is extra fucked up.

Ohh okay, that’s different. I’m strictly speaking about law firm hiring.

Kristen @therunningyogini.bsky.social · 15h

That’s uncommon now, in my experience (I’m a lateral recruiter). Candidates can always ask for more time — and a firm that refuses is usually a red flag — but 2 weeks is the norm right now.

I can’t speak to entry level roles, but this has been the norm for lateral roles for a long time. Only partners get more time.

I feel like the refusal to understand why and how this can be used as a rallying cry is somewhere between being incapable of understanding how human emotions work and just straight wrecker stuff.

Herbstreit calling Wentz “weak” for looking like he’s in pain when he’s playing through an injury is such BS.

Just how bad is this Brosmer guy that they won’t put him in over Wentz? This is painful to watch.

It’s just cruel to keep playing Wentz at this point.

Idk, I think they could probably do it a few times, if they space it out enough. It’s not like Trump remembers what he says from one moment to the next, and his team is really incredibly incompetent, so would anyone notice?

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 1d

a fun thing to consider is that China, and probably Russia, almost certainly have the ability to post from the president's Truth Social account. they just know that they only get to use that *once*.

Nathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 1d

I think the White House is probably absolutely riddled with spies and listening devices and also they're getting exactly as much actionable intelligence as you'd get from browsing Truth Social.
