I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Trump: "Please remember I wrote Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, 'You gotta watch Osama bin Laden!' ... I gotta take a little credit."

imagine you're an ICE agent committing a war crime against some guy and a certified baddie comes up to yell at you. I'd kill myself later that day.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

twitter is owned by the largest individual donor of the 2024 cycle who gave about $300 million to Republican candidates, and people's families ARE being rounded up. none of his objections to these things he's imagining are on principle. they just believe they should be the ones doing it.

In an alternative timeline, Kamala Harris is in office, by now over 5 million gang members are in the country, Elon is in prison, Trump is dead, X is controlled by the DNC, I'm dead or in a gulag, your family is being rounded up, about to be murdered. We were that close.

I think in about 6 months to a year when the economy is in total free fall we'll have a good handle on what percentage of the country is a full on ideologically committed fascist. I'm thinking it's like 30 percent.

I don't think Trump is anywhere near the floor of his support considering the trajectory of the economy but there will always be the people for whom "marching naked children out of their homes at gunpoint" wasn't the final straw

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

yeah I've wondered about this. a lot of her public persona these days is about finally being herself but she's more in thrall to pop production slop than ever

she has been on a notable decline since folklore and that was overrated anyway. the narratives she has been pushing about taking her artistic agency back are totally at odds with jack antonoff, shellback and max martin making all her songs. her lyrical contributions are even the worst part
