They think you're stupid.

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, hooded, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge.

“They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

Mike Vrabel had 'difficult conversations' over Russini photos Mike Vrabel said the Patriots and their fans will get "the best version of me going forward" after the New York Post published photos that appeared to show the coach embracing and holding hands with f...

Well, she lost her career but you’ve had “difficult conversations” so i guess it’s a wash! www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Simple rule: the Senate should not confirm any appointee to any post who can’t say clearly who legitimately won the 2020 presidential election. Not just who was “installed”, but who won the vote and the electoral college.

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

Warsh is NOT handling Senator Warren's interrogation well. None of these questions should be a surprise to him.

I held this post up to the light.

This isn't how I wanted things to happen, but it is really funny that Trump might be the greatest decarbonization president ever

A lot of people forget Bill Clinton had a substantive policy platform backed by a very particular and intellectually mature political philosophy not just pointing and naming random nobodies who said upsetting lefty things

Pennsylvania's motor-voter system effectively screens non-citizens from voter registration • Pennsylvania Capital-Star The audit also revealed problems with PennDOT’s data security protocols and recommended tighter internal controls.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote.

They found one. One.

And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

Tapper to Stefanik: Is calling for wiping out an entire civilization bad or good? | CNN Politics Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) joins CNN’s Jake Tapper to discuss her new book, “Poisoned Ivies,” antisemitism on college campuses, and President Trump’s threats to destroy Iran’s civilization.

Is calling for wiping out an entire civilization bad or good?

We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

catherine fact: the thing that has *by far* done the most to my ability to stay on top of domestic chores was "to imagine what a concurrent, pauseless garbage collector would do and then apply the observations"

(Bill Hicks voice) "Looks like we got ourselves a *reader*"

a real testament to stefanik’s total lack of dignity that she is doing this AFTER trump totally threw her under the bus, backed up, and ran her over just to be sure

Okay fine, I’ll look at Hyperliquid. Don’t tell @sellingtheta.bsky.social.

I'm so glad this brave law enforcement officer is OK after being violently smirked at. Praying for him and his family

This is looking correct. Trump was trying to figure out how to change narrative-destroying Iran intransigence that is coming at him at 100 mph, and thought this would intimidate them, and (of course) it backfired.

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

Lots of leaks in this article, most of them making Trump look unsure and scared: www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Establishing open borders between EU countries without establishing a common EU immigration policy was a kind of odd choice.

It’s extremely unfortunate but the abiding lesson of the Trump era is that doing federal legislation that heavily benefits red state rural areas doesn’t get you any votes and benefits the rural red state reps who will take all the credit for the projects they voted against

We'll need a full review of securities and commodities trades executed by everyone in the administration, and their relatives to a third degree of cosanguinitiy.

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

John Eastman: The Dems Made Me Do It Author of the “coup memos” says 2020’s “existential” stakes justified extreme action.

The two intolerable abuses that Eastman specifically named, btw, were drag queen story hour and trans people using the bathroom.

What is the intellectual foundation of the conservative legal academy? Nothing but rum, sodomy, and Kurt Lash.

The narrative of the “prominent” “conservative” legal academy is that (1) finding legal arguments to use state violence to suppress dissent about how they are trying to overturn election results is NOT intolerant but (2) calling them out or inflicting consequences for crimes IS intolerant. Fuck that
