Shockingly the Washington Wizards are winning a basketball game in the fourth quarter (against the Cleveland Cavaliers) 😱

This is the whole ballgame here, fellow Swifties.

We know how much Taylor cares about control of her art.

How can we reconcile "I want to be on the right side of history?" with the complete silence on the Trump team co-opting her music for hateful purposes?

There is, it's called the attitudinal model!

The Roberts Court is one of the best pieces of evidence for the attitudinal model that ever existed

Don't mind if I do!

This is legitimately disgusting.

Autocratic states establish their incumbent leader's birthday as a national day of celebration, as the leader is the state.

Democracies do not. In democracies, the leader is a temporary steward who serves the public interest.

You sure you want to stand by that statement Mike?

What a night to watch the Washington Wizards get absolutely pummeled by the Boston Celtics:

To all hate-consuming coverage of Olivia Nuzzi's new book, this is perhaps the best piece of content I have seen.

I burst out laughing alone in my office at least three times.

Hard to pick a favorite "excerpt," but this is one that made me LOL:

It took 9 years, but the manifestation of the Maureen Dowd column is complete

Is that like a "bullet theoretical" and a "bullet possible?"

Motivated reasoning is a hell of a drug!

It's been almost 3 weeks since Donald Trump used Taylor Swift's songs to make 2 TikTok videos.

Taylor has said nothing.

We know how important control of her art is to Taylor, so why hasn't she admonished someone she opposes using it?

What happened to wanting to be on the "right side of history?"

Can someone please force James David Vance to read Fearon (1995).

It's called issue indivisibility. It's a concept that has been thoroughly studied for decades.

Is it too much to ask that our vice-president not be so ignorant about basic foreign policy concepts?

As @mcopelov.bsky.social is known to say, "Who actually was president in 2020?" continues to be the central cleavage of American politics in 20205.
