Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.
"If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably."
That's true of Trump's original inheritance, the money from his parents. If he'd just put it in the stock market he'd have made more money than he did on his own ideas.
Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.
If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
Several election experts, including some who watched the audit of Maricopa County’s election in person in 2021, said any investigation based on the data would be fatally flawed.
This is the f’ing way. Every one of the those wrongly detained should be suing the federal government, as well as individual members of the administration by name. It’s one of the only major avenues of recourse that might affect change in the admin’s behavior.
Nearly the 4-year anniversary of unnamed Wall St. imbecile telling BuzzFeed to kill BuzzFeed News, its only valuable part, to magically make $300 million - www.businessinsider.com/buzzfeed-inv...
Opening bid in a decade of greedy swine killing news business out of stupidity & sheer moral rot.
Self-own of the decade: BuzzFeed pivots toward AI slop, loses everything.

Instead of blowing up things in Iran, the federal government could have spent $11 billion in a week paying the entire household incomes for everyone in these counties. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
“At the same time, Trump’s team is privately trying to reassure the president that conservatives aren’t abandoning him. They have provided him with polling data in recent days that they say shows the war is popular with his supporters, people familiar with the matter said. Some Trump allies who have grown skeptical of the operation have coordinated behind the scenes to schedule appearances on Fox News and other TV networks watched by the president to sound a note of caution and warn against a deeper U.S. commitment. ” Excerpt From “Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War.” Alexander Ward, Lara Seligman, Alex Leary, Vera Bergengruen The Wall Street Journal https://apple.news/AQpg4rm9_SKif_iKf6Pbzqw This material may be protected by copyright.
this is just covid II; a small, closed circle are feeding him constant horseshit and other conservatives are trying to get on fox news to warn him that he's in political danger
It says a hell of a lot that first the Vice President and now top military brass are planting stories in the press in an effort to absolve themselves of responsibility for the calamity that is the Iran War two weeks into the damn mission. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Can’t help but think all the institutions that rolled over for Trump in the past 14 months have some culpability in making him think he could ride roughshod over Iran.
They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage
Screenshot from 1960s Japanese movie Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. A serious-looking man in a suit is explaining his latest idea. Subtitle reads 'It may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we could ask Mothra to help.'

Its really striking how much of our politics is driven by people who claim not to be Republicans but whose sole consistent principle is that every single problem in society is Democrats’/liberals’ fault
I’ll stop bothering Michael with quote posting in a bit but he’s really hit the nail on the head with this - gavin here is more upset about the mere investigation of allegations of MASS EXECUTIONS by UK troops than the potential that these crimes occurred
Text reads chem test today, I’m prepared to cheat on the whole thing. They’re already in the classroom and it seems too late to stop them from cheating.
They’ve decided to cheat with ChatGPT, saying: “Hello chat, I’m going to upload four pictures and a couple of minutes (they probably meant in.. omg 😭) I need you to give me the answers for every problem, do not explain how to get the answer, just show me the answer and the slight work for it if it needs it. If it’s an ABCD question, immediately give me the answer.” ChatGPT replies: “Got it” and gives them the instructions back in full and tells them to go ahead and upload the images.
They got their test back, their result is an F, who could’ve seen that coming right?
This text to ChatGPT reads: Chat let me know how I got an F. ChatGPT: You probably got an F, because many of the answers I gave you earlier were wrong. It then proceeds to show them the correct answers from the test.
A story in four parts. 😭
can this be a solution?
If I had to choose three books that every young reader (7-12) should read, they would be:
-First Test (Protector of the Small)
-Dealing With Dragons
-Which Witch?
What would yours be?
The rise of app-based sports gambling was the result of a Supreme Court opinion written by Sam Alito applying a doctrine invented by Antonin Scalia. Also sports gambling is not legal in Minnesota
I think about this a lot.
What this is (like so much in the publishing industry right now) is prioritising shit books by famous people that will briefly sell a lot then be forgotten over books with steady longevity by writers who've spent years learning their craft. It's money-grabbing cowardice & book lovers see through it.
This isn't about one elected official. The Republican party is increasingly, openly violently Islamophobic and eliminationist in its rhetoric and it's incredibly dangerous.
This is an absolutely endemic problem over at Marvel these days
MSNBC reveals dark money group "Democracy Unmuted" has been paying influencers $1,500 per negative post about Kat Abughazaleh
One post from TheWokeGinger, with over 1,000,000 followers, recited whole sentences from the Democracy Unmuted brief
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
The SAVE plan, which allowed student loan borrowers to pay back their loans based on their income, is dead after the Trump administration refused to defend it in court.
Now, monthly payments will spike by as much as 400%.
Trump is making the affordability crisis worse by the day.
