JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class
Reporter: Do you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti?

Vance: For what?

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Trump telling a woman reporter to smile more is not new. What is information here is him snarling like a cornered dog as she essentially asks what he would say to his and his dead friend’s victims about covering up what they did

He installed an incompetent and flaccid exec, made a series of dumb and venal decisions & sucked up to Trump to make yet another filthy dollar. He’s so poor, all he has is money and, let’s stop pretending, bad facial surgery that makes him look like he is in some bad remake of The Santa Clause.

My take today on Jeff Bezos since I met him at his struggling start up in the 1990s in Seattle: Twice the muscles, half the man.
February 4, 2026 at 7:16 PM
Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen.

Y'all I'm sorry but these files are so pig disgusting. The level of depravity these people stoop to is beyond my imagination. They seem to be worse and worse every time.

Fuck all of these people, they don't need to be "fired" or "relieved of their position/role" they need to be brought to justice.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job

Quick round up:

- the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile
- he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments
- his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets
- the FBI is helping him steal the election
- he’s threatening war against multiple allies

👍👍👍

I'm so frustrated by the layoffs at the Washington Post, and in particular the continued gutting of local news coverage. There are more than 6 million people in the DMV, and multiple examples of news outlets that appear to be operating successful business/nonprofit models at a much smaller scale.
