He's divorced and his fiance Ainsley has been divorced twice.

Helpful to remember "performative putz" is his literal job.

This is huge

The Supreme Court Lives in Fox News' America A Court that does not share a common factual world with the people it governs is untethered from democratic reality.

“What most distinguishes the present Supreme Court is not merely its conservatism, or even its willingness to roll back settled rights. It is the degree to which the conservative majority appears severed from shared facts altogether.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-supreme-...

Pete Hegseth: God, I wish I was a hitman in Pulp Fiction.
Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani: Boy, it would be fun to be Mr Rogers.

Tough shit

Obviously Mamdani is to the left of Obama but I’m old enough to remember when the very moderate Obama was portrayed as a communist by the right.

I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

The best pic in politics right now. Hopeful and real.

S.E. Cupp Makes Her Play For Both-Siderist-Of-The-Month As many of you might recall, Ms. Cupp used to make a living titillating bigots... ...on Fox News... ... flashing her talent...

Uh huh. My husband @driftglass.bsky.social can remember SE Cupp all the way back to... 2019. driftglass.blogspot.com/2019/05/se-c...

Oh wow, SCOTUS does politics, that's crazy

When will everyone realize that all of Trump's wars are meant to rig the stock market.

Agreed

Jared Kushner Under Investigation For Potential Violations Of Federal Bribery And Foreign Agent Laws An investigation has been launched into Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner for potential violations of ethics, bribery, and foreign agent laws.

Hopefully the lights they put Slenderman under are bright enough.

In regards to Iran, the orange felon unfroze/paid $20B for something that President Obama paid almost $2B for.

The art of the fraud.

The Strait of Hormuz, ALREADY OPEN before we began bombing Iran, is open again. Yay!
There's talk of an anti-nuclear agreement for the price of unfreezing $20B in frozen funds. Double yay!
All in all, we'll have spent and/or transferred $52B to replicate the Obama deal, which he tore up. Triple yay!

do. you. believe. girls & women yet?

Trump Admin Hands Mega-Deal to Company Backed by Jared Kushner’s War-Profiteer Brother — The Daily Beast Joshua Kushner looks set to cash in on Trump’s wars even as the president leans on Kushner’s brother, who’s married to Trump’s daughter, to help end them.

The Pentagon just gave a $20B contract to Anduril backed by Jared Kushner’s brother…while he’s helping negotiate the wars it profits from.

Not a conflict of interest. Straight-up corruption.

Yes I'm sure Hezbollah will on their very best behavior to make Donald Trump happy.🙄

The entire problem...

I read this with my SOUL.... @driftglass.bsky.social

You can’t expect Keir Starmer to have known Mandelson was dodgy as fuck. Nobody told him.

Probably nobody told him Israel was committing war crimes either.
Or that the two-child benefit cap was starving kids.
Or that trans people are human beings.
Or that immigrants are a net benefit.

All these things that are occurring -- Richard Nixon pardoned, Donald Trump allowed to run 2x, the upcoming attempt to vacate the convictions for the J6 seditionists -- is happening because the original Confederates were never punished

Reagan's 11th Commandment sounded harmless enough. Then it ate the entire GOP. New episode of The Professional Left — "AmeriKKKan Gothic" — traces how we got from "don't criticize your own" to where we are now — and where it's all heading next. proleftpod.com

Worthwhile listening: @bluegal.bsky.social and @driftglass.bsky.social take a deep dive into the word "normalizing" — a term that gets thrown around constantly in political coverage, but rarely gets a clear definition.
