Any time corporate executives are in a room together and don't know they're being recorded, the transcript is like: "Christ, I hate our customers. We're agreed that we all hate our customers? Let's lie to the IRS, criminally. Did I mention the Holocaust never happened? Put more lead in our soda."

It is 1:40 on the east coast, and this skeet could already be about three different people today.
just a reminder that the last time the Trump admin tried to pre-sabotage a future presidential opponent it got him impeached

Wondering if Trump attempts to court martial Mark Kelly for treason just so he can magnanimously commute his sentence by sparing him the death penalty.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Suddenly realizing that all the FDR stuff was probably because Zohran told him that if a president is really nice to the mayor of New York, they name a whole expressway after him

"Oh God, it's that psychically nauseating swinger couple tied to the Trump administration and responsible for thousands of preventable deaths. No, not that one. Or that one. No, not that one, either."
It would also give *Ryan Lizza*—who could, in theory, have leaked this info at any point over the last 12-16 months—a role in both RFK’s appointment and the untold preventable deaths. But Lizza either isn’t self aware enough to realize that or is too busy selling Substack subscriptions to care
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

I have read the RFK quote, and the good news is that I will definitely never be involved in a sex scandal at any point for the rest of my life.

All right, we’ve had some fun today, but I’m thinking we should probably go ahead and fix the timestream before things get really weird

Another way to look at the Zohran-Trump thing is that Trump still fundamentally thinks of his cartoonish fascism as kayfabe with no real-world consequences, and when he's separated from genuine, consequential Nazis like Miller and Vance he's just an old man putting on a show again

In all honesty, I think what happened is that Zohran started talking about housing construction, and it's the one thing that Trump actually has a genuine, human interest in, and now they're friends forever.

Since we're talking about "sui generis" for some reason, I just want to say that this, from the New York Times, remains my favorite instance of that phrase ever printed.

I can confidently say that Dick Cheney’s funeral distracting from the president ordering summary execution of his opponents is not what Dick Cheney would have wanted
