Hmm… is this the “Sharia law” lawmakers are currently freaking out about, or is it only a problem when it’s someone else’s religion?

THE KINK OF THE WORLD
"Trump’s subordinates know the secret to thriving in his orbit is to butter him up shamelessly and mercilessly at every turn. And yet it remains genuinely repulsive to watch that dynamic play out." But in some cases, also kind of funny:
Also, if you're a reporter or researcher working on Trump accountability, please LMK if I can help!
Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.
You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.
When Trump said he would bring on a "New Golden Age," he was talking about his wallet.
This is the smartest piece I’ve read on the Epstein network’s crimes - and how authorities can still pursue some measure of accountability. Of course, the victims’ lives can never be made whole. But at least some of Epstein’s accomplices could still be brought to justice.
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.
how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not
Just fully detached from reality here.

Yay, Washington!! 😃 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
TODAY: After Sen. Oliver got the “Homes Not Hedge Funds Act” housing bill passed in the senate 31-1, the house version died in sub when @aftynbehn.bsky.social couldn’t get a 2nd to hear it
2 Dems she ran against in TN-7 were on the committee: Dixie gave a motion. Mitchell didn’t give a 2nd.
I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding
The Trump regime has no idea what it’s doing hour to hour, just in case you thought there was some grand strategy in Iran
"When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass."
Smart people don't have to convince people they're smart people.

Every single oil executive in the entire world must be having the same slow, horrible realization that led Rex Tillerson to eventually snap and call Trump a "fucking moron".
Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s “the right of the people,” not of citizens.
We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.
Kristi Noem’s firing shows our power, writes Daniel Hunter. And now we must go after the real architect of Trump's deportation machine and so many other harmful policies: Stephen Miller.
Exactly.
Trump’s power and by extension his entire movement are built around the idea that by asserting something you manifest it in reality. Even if it’s not true many people will behave as if is so you can get away with it.
It is alarmingly effective in law, domestic politics. It cannot unblock a strait.
here’s your chance to go watch a speech from one of jeffery epsteins best friends and confidants!
Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.
I know this is a crazy idea, but do any of the commentators who got snookered by anonymous Republicans into sticking with "Trump is strong on immigration, the public actually loves deportations" for far too long feel like it's time to ask themselves why they got so easily taken?
We dropped it. It weighs on me, too. 🥺
I’m so old I remember when Reagan proudly said that what distinguished America was that anyone could become equally an American, regardless of where they had been born.
