someone at the pentagon frantically typing “Claude, open the strait of Hormuz for me, quickest possible strategy, make no mistakes.”

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Anyone engaged in violence—especially against law enforcement—should be fully prosecuted. God bless the Capitol Police and the honorable men & women of law enforcement who show great courage keeping all of us safe. 11:47 AM · Jan 6, 2021

Graham said, “Count me out. Enough is enough.” Graham called Biden the “legitimate president of the United States,” and told colleagues definitively that “it is over” and the Biden-Harris administration would begin on January 20th. Earlier Wednesday, supporters of Trump breached the U.S. Capitol, forcing a lockdown of the lawmakers and staff inside. Trump has claimed widespread voter fraud to explain away his defeat to President-elect Joe Biden, though election officials have said there wasn’t any. Graham said that “if you’re a conservative,” the idea that Vice President Mike Pence could reverse the results of the election, as President Donald Trump had urged him to do, was “the most offensive concept in the world.”

“There’s no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” McConnell said. “The leader of the free world cannot spend weeks thundering that shadowy forces are stealing our country and then feign surprise when people believe him and do reckless things.”

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

Capitalism's biggest con was convincing everyone that you need to validate vour existence with labor

We have a big problem: the media and punditry are overrun by people who are driven almost entirely by a desire to appear "openminded" and "contrarian." In order to burnish that image, they seek out conservative takes to endorse, carefully choosing ones that don't seem too MAGA (and thus gauche).

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

A women's soccer star is the target of an anti-trans activist - Outsports Barbra Banda's peers in the NWSL stood up for her when the head of an anti-trans fashion brand tried to demean her.

Transphobes are already targeting the biggest star in women's soccer and baselessly alleging she's a man because she's Black. This is what trans people warned would happen. Gender policing that becomes explicitly racial.

The image is a meme featuring a scene from "The Simpsons." In the top part, a bus driver is looking to the side while holding the steering wheel. He is wearing a blue uniform and cap, and the background shows a cityscape with factory buildings and smokestacks. Below him is a caption that reads, "DON'T MAKE ME TAP THE SIGN." The bottom part of the image shows a close-up of a hand pointing at a sign. The sign says, "We don’t mourn fascists."

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Over a trillion dollars unaccounted for in the military budget. It's a grift that makes Americans more vulnerable and less healthy.

RFK claims “70% of pharmaceutical products in the world are sold to our country” but this is a false misrepresentation.

His 70% number is exaggerated and is based on sale $ not number of products sold, which ignores the fact that USA pays more for prescriptions than other places in the world

GOP lawmakers pass bill allowing child genital exams without parental consent - LGBTQ Nation And that was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill.

Republicans in West Virginia passed a bill that would allow health care providers to “visually or physically examine a minor child” for the purpose of identifying their “biological sex” without the “consent of the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian.”

It takes a certain swashbuckling arrogance to propel a startup to glory. But as we’ve repeatedly said, the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.) And if you don’t believe in the public good? You sprint through the ruination. You metastasize from agency to agency, leveling the maximum allowable destruction under the law. DOGE’s costly, embarrassing mistakes are a byproduct of reckless nihilism; if artificial intelligence can sell you a pizza, of course it can future-proof the General Services Administration. Worse still, none of this will actually help DOGE make a dent in its purported mission. What’s efficient about firing people you have to scramble to hire back? What are the cost savings of a few thousand federal employees compared to the F-35 program? What are we even doing here, actually?
