I love how Pam Bondi and the MAGA DOJ openly, shamelessly, and maliciously go after Trump's enemies, but Merrick Garland sat paralyzed for four years, terrified that prosecuting Trump for literally treasonable offenses would violate norms, precedent, and decorum. He must be so proud.

"It's filled with lies. Only about the president. The rest might be true. Unless it's friends of his. Then it's not. But *anything* about *him* is a lie. He's innocent. It's all "rigged" against him. He didn't do anything wrong (yeah, I mean, we don't think it was wrong, but legal?). Pinkie swear!!!

Twitter isn't just a nazi bar, it's the slowly declining bar that still gets some randos and tourists, but the fun and interesting people have stopped going to. And even people like Yglesias who are happy at a nazi bar don't want to be the last guy in the room with Musk and the loli pfps.
These people want leftist and liberals to come back to Twitter so badly. They give all kinds of reasons, but the fact is without them the Nazi bar marinates in its own juices and they can't stand it.

Trump has added new plaques under his ‘presidential walk of fame’ in the White House.
On Obama: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President…One of the most divisive political figures in American history.”
On Biden: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History...”

this joke plagues transphobes because it’s an incredibly cutting take on what the modern transphobic panic is, a hysterical panic based off of a lie that transness is fake and that there is an intentional effort from the right to prop up this wedge to destroy all LGBTQ rights

Corruption out in the open. How can the White House have the power to approve a merger or block a competing one where Trump’s own son-in-law stands to make millions? This is why the FTC should remain independent—and why Trump wants to control it.

you can immediately clock WKRP fans just by seeing whose face lights up with these 10 little words: "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
“WKRP In Cincinnati” premieres 47 years ago today — a show that creator Hugh Wilson based on radio staff he knew from his days in advertising.
“Every call letter that I ran through my mind was already taken,” he said. “I think WKRP was not taken because it can be said that it spells ‘crap.'”

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.
UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.
But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.
Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

Again, these maps have got to be causing a massive panic in any state where they're considering gerrymandering.
“.. There were no counties or cities (as of writing) that moved right relative to four years ago. On average, they instead moved 13 points to the left.”
