How Trump is wooing Joe Rogan after their split The president knows that keeping Rogan close still matters.

like Musk there was no split so there's no need to woo a dim right wing d tier comic who has always liked and supported trump and the fascist project

Climate Change Concern Near Its High Point in U.S. The 44% of U.S. adults who currently worry "a great deal" about climate change or global warming is near its 46% high point from 2020.

US elites decided, like a school of fish, that climate concern is old, boring, "woke," square, not hip & popular any more. As usual, it was based almost entirely on internal elite dynamics. It had nothing to do with the actual public, which is more concerned than ever.

Open fascism and corruption by the most inept and incapable people in government history.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

"Weijia Jiang, a CBS News correspondent who is the current president of the Correspondents’ Association, said on Monday that the dinner “reinforces the importance of the First Amendment in our democracy.” She added, “Our choice to gather as journalists, newsmakers and the president in the same room is a reminder of what a free press means to this country and why it must endure.”

normalizing a fascist by giggling with him over cocktails reinforces the importance of the First Amendment!

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

You’ve seen this before but the BBC has put it all together.

I think before you build an Arc de Triomphe you should be able to identify at least un (1) triomphe

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

This piece begins with Amity Shlaes' most common and most deceitful trick -- citing the unemployment numbers in 1938, when the country fell into a recession because FDR had been persuaded to *ease off* the New Deal, as proof that the New Deal didn't work.

Pure hackery.

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

Screenshot of a Substack note by account 'JoJoFromJerz' that says: 'In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.'

None of this is normal.

I study racist politicians from the Jim Crow era and this is on par with anything that John Rankin, Theodore Bilbo, or Cotton Ed Smith ever said in public

When No One Was Looking, Ohio Became a Swing State Again Ohio's Senate race may be the closest of the 2026 midterms, as Republicans fear Ohio's red state status of the last decade is slipping away.

New: When No One Was Looking, Ohio Became a Swing State Again

A year ago, the widespread assumption was the Ohio Senate seat held until last year by JD Vance would stay red. Now Republicans are openly panicking about Ohio.

Parker is absolutely on point here. Trust me, I have no shortage of anger for people who sat out 2024 and would love nothing more than to really lean in to a well earned "I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO," but the fact is that shit is pure poison for serious political organizing.

Suck it up and move on.

I know historians aren’t supposed to predict the future, but sometimes the patterns are really clear.

Economy so bad even Supreme Court Justices living in a two-income household.

if Ds control congress, they could pass a bill to send people checks, funded by taxing billionaires. let trump veto it if he wants.

include a provision in the bill that trump's name can't be on the checks.

The Reagan counterrevolution only deepened America's problems. It turned the country against government and against taxation. Remember, after eight Republican years in the 1950s, with George Humphrey as Secretary of the Treasury, the highest marginal tax rate was 91 percent. Contrast that with the situation last year when the rich acted as if raising it from 28 to 32 percent were the end of Western Civilization. So overwhelming is that opposition, that politicians who privately see no other alternative to raising taxes, remain silent, because to favor tax hikes publicly would be political suicide.

the past is another country

It is amazing how much US news ignores the daily corruption of this court

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

🥹 men supporting women 🥲

Have to say I have mixed feelings about this. I agree with people who say that it’s better to have a bumbling, drunken do-nothing oaf like Patel heading the FBI (as much as that sucks) than to have a more competent evil person running it.

Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.

Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:

“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”

When (God-willing) Dems take the house next year, they should expel members who spout racist lies like this.

Karoline Leavitt @PressSec Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump is Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness

we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help

She is awful and should be fired but man that is three women out of the Cabinet and not a single guy

Are we sure that by “good for the global economy” he doesn’t really mean “good for insider trading”?
