You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

A lot depends on whether or not he likes my podcast.

The Turd Reich has been a global nightmare, but I have to admit it has had some pretty funny side effects.

For example…

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

There’s a non-zero possibility that this clip will be featured in a future documentary explaining the popular uprising against the ultra rich. JFC

I’m guessing Miller or Johnson threatened to dump MTG’s oppo research file.

You couldn’t waterboard these photos out of me.

Just look at their faces. This is so f’ing funny.

I dare you to find a better example of how unpopular Trump is, and how much that terrifies him, than his shameless effort to get some of that Mamdani shine.
I think this clip is the key to understanding why Trump acted the way he did with Mamdani. His world revolves around TV ratings.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Democrats to be executed: "Attorneys have to parse the language and determine all that."

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Demanding the arrest of congressmen less than 24 hours after the Epstein Bill was made law.

What a coincidence.

If it’s treason to refuse to carry out illegal orders… then it’s bank fraud to refuse to let me empty the vault.

The absolute state of the US.

(Bonus points if you recognize that this isn’t a story of a closeted right winger… it’s a story of our democracy being hijacked by outside agents via blackmail).

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

This framing is amazing. We should use it everywhere.

This afternoon I found an iPod 4 touch that Zee bought 15 years ago, and I can’t update it because Apple has abandoned it.

So now I’m watching a video on how to jailbreak it by a teen wearing braces… and he’s ranting about the prevalence of malware in jailbreaking software.

Looks like Bondi and Kash have been busy this weekend at the shredder.

Why do I feel like Bari Weiss is going to turn up in those files?
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"
