Great passage from #TheExpanse: The sad fact of the human species that he understood so well was that you could never overcome tribalism and jingoism with an argument. Tribalism was an irrational position, and it was impossible to defeat an irrational position with a rational argument.

Seems we might have a problem with the presidential pardon system….

Republicans have long made a major issue that George Soros has been a donor to Democrats, spinning insane lies about him to make that a bad thing Elon Musk is a *much* bigger donor to Republicans and there's no need to invent lies about him. Just tell the truth about the evil shit he says and does

Remind me of all the Tech Titans sucking up to Trump

US journalist in Kyiv faces White House online attacks while under fire from Putin’s missiles.

He. Doesn’t. Actually. Care. About. You.

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

I hate that Alexa isn’t offended when you’re intentionally rude.

The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.

How are these people not embarrassed…

Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells

He reminds me of the Jude Law character in Contagion....

My career-limiting flaw in corporate America was I could never be this big of a kiss ass

Another Christian conservative. This keeps happening.

Aaron Rodgers is obsessed with his own privacy. His neighbors? Not so much. After moving to a new town, Rodgers used a cutout to secretly fund the local police department’s Flock-style surveillance program. www.foiaball.com/p/aaron-rodg...

I'm loathe to share this man, but this one is personal. My masters thesis was on the MMR controversy, so believe me when I say that this path of separation of the MMR will result in nothing but increased sales of too-small coffins, and children with life-altering medical conditions.

Someone should tell Trump it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

A great story as long as the listener doesn’t understand how these things actually work…

A few weeks ago I shared my view that prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket should be made illegal. Today it was announced that Kalshi is now taking bets on FDA drug approvals and clinical trial outcomes. These markets are metastasizing and nothing good can come of it.

Early in Trump's first term, David Frum wrote that every time Trump and MAGA say "the deep state" you should hear "rule of law," then it'll make more sense. That stuck with me. And I thought of it again as an unqualified and unconfirmed director of national intelligence conducts political purges.

>renames it to the Department of War >names himself the Secretary of War >fights one war >loses

Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure. Take 44 seconds and watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rB...

The Republican Party in a nut shell. The atrocities and crimes are all fine if the rich make a lot of money.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Looking forward to the segment on Fox News about the Trump crime family..... Oh, wait....

One story that sums up the grift, graft and 'morality' of Trump's America.

Imagine if your boss was the MAGA base. No matter what peers or colleagues said to your boss about your performance, you could just say "meh, fake news" and get a raise.

Biggs and everyone supporting/advising Trump should be on trial for elder abuse.

The biggest issue with MTG and others is they only speak up when they have no power to do anything about it. He's the same Trump that she could have stopped while in Congress.

🎯. if only Vance wasn't also flawed and a bad person

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

Again, he's addressing children gathered for an Easter Egg roll on the White House lawn, standing next to someone in an Easter Bunny costume, talking about all the people he's killed

Think about that..

Trump did this 👇

Only two teams in #NHL have regulation wins in at least half their game. #GoAvsGo 40 RW in 68 games. And Sabres 37 RW in 70 games. Kinda crazy.

Oh

Had to doublecheck the date on this

Great stuff. Well said. And 🎯

This makes me a little less happy we won…

A short overview of how Peter Thiel and Palantir have been systematically weaponizing your data. Against you.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Every American needs to watch this:

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off. It's the only possible way to do it!

So just today I’ve seen the Trump admin dump on rural America, on states rights (voting), and gun rights. GOP has changed, but yet the base continues to support them. 🤷‍♂️
