I just assumed 62 million was nonsense because even in our awful society that number just made no sense

First saw this story over on Threads, and people really, really, really did not like anyone correcting misinformation about their misreading of the story. We seem to be moving to some sort of post-reality where people just want fake stories that reinforce their beliefs.

Fun fact: "Pope Leo is weak on crime" is a real thing. That actually happened!

even if this wasnt xenophobic garbage he doesnt make sense

I just blocked an insane person who claimed we would have invaded Iran if Biden was President… which he was and we didn’t

Yes!

"The other option … is you can play hardball too. You can escalate … and in doing so you can show your opponent that their hardball does not pay dividends [and] may end up being counterproductive. Your escalation … can bring the other side to the table to find a truly mutually beneficial solution."

Why Trump (Miller) hates the SPLC.

While DC journos all rush to WHCD, @philinvestigates.com just keeps reporting on the far right in TN.

Be like Phil!

For weeks, Trump has been saying his illegal war with Iran will end “pretty soon”.

It’s been nearly TWO MONTHS and there’s no end in sight.

LMAO

We need a labeler here that lets everyone know.

ACTUALLY WENT TO THE 2026 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER

Kevin Warsh’s father-in-law Ronald Lauder (billionaire) has been friends with Donald Trump since college

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.

That we have sex creeps at the top of all 3 branches of government tells you a lot about our society

The basic challenge with discussing Sarah Isgur is that she's just not interesting. She is a Supreme Court fangirl who makes money by praising conservative justices in public. There are lots of conservative lawyers like her, and the next time one of them says anything insightful will be the first.

Before she rebranded as a Savvy Legal Media Pundit, Sarah Isgur's job was working in the Justice Department, doing PR for Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions during family separation. Now, she is running PR for a different set within the conservative legal movement. It's not more complicated than that.

“Our cultural problem is students, who are 1% as entitled and whiny as the President.”

Warsh: ha-ha, students are vacuous snowflakes who run to authority to maintain their status
Also Warsh to any question where a factual answer might displease Trump: Sir, that is a great unknowable I could not possibly comment on.

i mean how could you NOT fall in love with this guy

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

Trump claimed "Operation Metro Surge" targeted the "worst of the worst." In reality, ICE ripped 70 kids away from their families, friends, and schools.

Our children deserve justice and accountability. That starts with abolishing ICE.

Even if they dealt drugs, if you change their crime from drug dealing to sex work and the method from bombing to strangulation, you have the description of almost every serial killer in US history.

The top-two primary needs to be abolished. Every election cycle it leads to races where one party risks getting shut out of a general election it would likely win.

It forces parties to pick favorites in primaries just to avoid shutouts. It fails to do what its proponents intended—often the opposite

The appeal of alt medicine isn’t ’capitalism alienated us from healing ‘ or whatever, it’s that it has no evidential foundation so it can make claims like ‘ouchie needles are bad for you but yummy milkshakes are good’

You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?

The Justice Department.

DONALD TRUMP: Mail-in voting is CHEATING.
ALSO DONALD TRUMP: I did a mail-in ballot because I'm the President of the United States.

This is not a joke or sarcasm. This was literally Donald Trump's rhetoric over the course of mere days last month (and it reinforces Greg's summary of Trumpism).

Companies shouldn’t have manifestos like the Unabomber ideally
