Shout out to Jack Tripper, fallin' outta hammocks and chillin' at the Regal Beagle and whatnot.

Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.

Would either result in repercussions?

The next administration must make clear that any immigrant, refugee, or asylum seeker wrongly deported, exiled, or otherwise mistreated by this administration will be readmitted with an expedited path to citizenship. Send a plane to get them.

We can't undo the damage. But we can do something.

Ok, so there's a group of folks who all think nicotine has secret (until now) health benefits.

Genuine question: why do we think the tech bros are doing this? Which need does this fulfill for them?

They honestly think the problem is that the masses just don't understand, and they're so sure all we need is for them to mansplain it all to us.

They've cut out everyone offering honest opinions to them, they're now blind to what all of us see.

Reagan's GOP liked to call their coalition a "three-legged stool" made up of the Religious Right, libertarians and anticommunists.

Trump's GOP has its own coalition, but it's made up of white supremacists, pedophiles and traitors. And its leaders are often all three!

I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad

A reminder that the Heritage Foundation architected Project 2025 with Viktor Orbán in mind. Kevin Roberts called modern Hungary “the model” for conservative statecraft.

What this shows is that a staggering 63%(!) of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (from December through February) had no criminal record at all.

So to protect himself from his own crimes, he's started an unauthorized war and will continue to waste innocent lives and destroy all we hold dear.

That would be evil enough and yet, he is also manipulating the global markets for him and his sycophants to profit from.

Today in the extended family group chat, I learned that, for who knows how long, I've been using a brown heart 🤎 instead of a red one ♥️.

Red green colorblindness surprises me even after 54 years of it...

really is incredible how often "men are having a problem, let's fix it using someone else's entire life" comes up. does the institute for family studies understand that children are whole complete human beings whose existence cannot be used as a coping mechanism for their fathers' anxieties? (no)

Terrific and important piece.
