Just the dumbest people in the world

Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced the bipartisan MATCH Act (Modernizing and Targeting American Controls for High-Tech Act) alongside Senator Roger Ricketts.

Just a random token of how bad this stuff sucks, Andy Kim co-introduced this, not Warren, and there is no "Senator Roger Ricketts"

A rough month

Rich guy grievance is so pathetic. Retaliating against my unprovoked abuse is the real abuse. Lashing out and then crying as official national policy

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

STILL LAUGHING about this.

We need Democrats to pledge that they will be every bit as ruthless as Republicans fear we will be.

This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in history. If we don't hold people accountable—with real, serious consequences—it will only be worse next time.

People like Pete Hegseth believe that China manufactures the flu as a weapon.

He then tells China, potentially our biggest military enemy, that he is ensuring that US troops *will* be made vulnerable to the flu.

Yes--we need originality with the form! I feel like WALK HARD should've murdered all this nonsense.

i don't know why you're doing this to yourself, darth. especially this season. pick up a hobby. read war and peace. literally anything else.

I agree the music biopic is tired as shit but I also think I'M NOT THERE is a singular approach that really only works with Dylan.

he's a MENTALIST, darth. he reads minds.

Knicks did this shit yesterday...

we don't, darth. it's not living at all. get out while you have your dignity.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

I know this is rhetorical but seems pretty clear the cabinet's only job is to remind the president they exist and are doing what he asks.

Annual flu vaccine no longer required for U.S. military, Hegseth says The move alarmed some public health experts, who warned that it would weaken troop readiness.

NOT SO FUN FACT—half of all U.S. war casualties during WWI were due to influenza. Today—Trump’s War Secretary remove the flu vaccine requirement for all U.S. military. Plus, bragging about this to all enemies is just absolute idiocy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

Great piece, Phillip. This show was weird and original and beautiful. A sneaky masterpiece.
