I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

excellent work by @michellemgriff.bsky.social, who managed to fill in the gaps in demith’s background — even though demuth wouldn’t agree to an interview with her. just trust me on this one

I would take more seriously the people promoting the idea of AI consciousness if they first materially grappled with the (much more obvious) consciousness of animals and how that affects our moral obligations to them.

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

So after the White House spokespersons tried to justify his inexplicable remarks, saying that he wasn't calling for Iran to nuke Los Angeles and San Diego, Trump *doubles down* Literally daring them to bomb the California cities

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail.

NEWS: Trump personally ordered $10 million in Homeland Security money spent on TV ads promoting himself, and only offered to have his super PAC pay once he got caught. Treating the federal treasury like a personal slush fund isn't a mistake you fix with a refund—it's a crime you get prosecuted for.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

During the ICE surge, Lisa Demuth signed a letter thanking ICE and praising Kristi Noem for her "steady leadership."

"Meanwhile, Jane Doe dropped out of Cornell and was denied her request to get her tuition refunded so that she could transfer to a different college. She hence faced more severe consequences than most of the men who she alleges gang-raped her." www.thecut.com/article/what...

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Today I learned that Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clark fan and that Amy Klobuchar knows more about sports than Eric Schmitt.

Jesus Christ dude

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Our tax dollars are being spent to indulge the fantasies and to soothe the fragile ego of a narcissistic sociopath who is falling deeper and deeper into psychosis.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

MS NOW reports that their White House reproter was denied access to the White House this morning despite a court order demanding she have access

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.

Trump is dead serious. See this chart from March: www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

every single republican president of my lifetime has started a war in the middle east and destroyed the economy

This is one of the funniest threads I’ve read in ages. At no point does OP break, and the landlords, well, www.reddit.com/r/Landlord/c...

We are not going to get out of the fascism problem by accepting just enough fascism to turn the heads of the fascism-curious.

This is who was on that Gitmo flight I tracked 12 days ago — a guy who did everything right to overcome the circumstances of his birth.

I guess it’s important to communicate that MAHA is fundamentally an movement by individuals to capture health care dollars by lying to people about having products and services that work

Rough Draft vs Final Draft

Wowww. A federal prosecutor in Minnesota was going to bring charges against ICE agent Castro for shooting Sosa-Celis, but Blanche’s DOJ blocked it. Castro was let out of prison by Gov. Abbott last week in defiance of state prosecutors extradition warrant. www.propublica.org/article/doj-...

NEW: Over the “strongest possible” objections of a federal prosecutor handling the case, Trump DOJ officials quashed plans to bring civil rights charges against an ICE agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant and then lying about it.
