A party bankrolled by like twelve billionaires does not have a platform. It has a client list. Every tax cut and deregulation freakout is just a deliverable, and the donors are the only constituents who ever get one on time.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. No one from the federal government called us on that day. No one has called us since.

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

Seven consecutive hits — none homers. In 2026. I didn’t think that was possible. Brewers are playing a game from 50 years ago.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

What I love about AI is how it frees us from having to pay any attention to other human beings or thinking or expressing ourselves in any way.

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.

This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

We all know a major story is coming at some point about Trump’s stroke(s) and the giant cover-up. Republicans will angrily deny it, try to punish the outlet, and also suggest the stroke is what made Trump gay.

our institutions have stopped hiring, we've been telling students not to pursue advanced study, and to the extent that humanists have mounted a defence, it's been by pleading our utility as an adjunct of STEM disciplines and professional schools in short, it all worked

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.
