It’s critical to note that this clip should be taken as evidence that Trump is (obviously) taking cuts of the funds being used to build his new white house ballroom, the arc, etc

צה"ל ממשיך להרוס מבנים בכפרים בדרום לבנון בזמן הפסקת האש מפקדים בצבא אמרו ל"הארץ" כי בשבועות האחרונים הובאו לאזור עשרות כלים הנדסיים המופעלים בידי קבלנים אזרחים, שחלקם מתוגמלים לפי מספר המבנים שנהרסו. מקור המעורה בפרטים אמר כי חלק מהקבלנים פעלו גם בעזה

Even during the "ceasefire", the Israelis are still demolishing entire villages in southern Lebanon with armored bulldozers. In fact, civilian contractors hired by the army receive pay which is based on the number of buildings destroyed.

Schumer voted against blocking the sale of these bulldozers.

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

Excellent time to start a pitchfork sharpening business.

This is the stuff that inspires revolutions.

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

BREAKING: I took to the House floor to force a vote on extending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti.

We won the first important vote in this process, and now we're a step closer to getting this done.

The House must move with urgency and pass this legislation without delay.

One of the biggest labor battles in the US is happening right now in Los Angeles, at USC, where our faculty-union campaign with majority support is being met by nasty, corporate-grade administrative resistance, and national press won't cover it.

Double tapping fishing boats, as Jesus taught us.

I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy:

There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.

look at these schmucks screwing around while they plunge the world into a depression

If you currently reside in NY, these practices may violate NY Gen. Bus. Law section 527-a, which regulates automatically renewing subscriptions and cancellations. NY’s attorney general might be interested….

Maybe he only learned how to use the grenade launcher part of the weapon.

The $117 billion tax break Trump handed the 1% is more than federal spending on:

-The Agriculture Department at $89.2 billion
-The Education Department at $46.9 billion
-The Labor Department at $22.7 billion
-The Energy Department at $20 billion

The rich are getting richer by robbing us.

This is why there is no giving a single inch on “AI.” I do not give a fuck if “it actually is helpful for some things.”

The perfect complement to a stealthy crossbow carrying wannabe ninja is a guy lugging a shoulder strapped Gatling gun around.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge.

I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass.

Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Missing Airman Raises Concerns That Iran Could Gain Leverage Over the U.S.

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

It’s exploits day! This issue contains my review of the new Mitski album and I also had the pleasure of editing @gracemachine.bsky.social ’s review of Half His Age

the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents

Advertise - Unwinnable Unwinnable offers ad space! Unlike most sites, we’re not interested in getting ads for weird products served from big companies or random junk from ad tech. Instead, we want to advertise products and ...

Did you know Unwinnable has ad space? And they’re looking for new advertisers right now? Personally I think physical creative hobbies (board games, crafts) and small presses would be a great fit for the magazine. With inquiries, email ads@unwinnable.com

The Atlantic Subscribe IDEAS Where Are All the Campus Protests? Two years ago, students occupied buildings and colonized the quad. Now the same places are strangely silent.

Honestly, fuck off.

This eyewitness account of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire always brings me to tears

We need to bring back the ideal of masculinity focused on quiet self-sacrifice for the sake of others. Alpha shit is for losers. Be a man and humbly forgo the shit you want for years so you can provide for your family, you indulgent little wuss

BREAKING: 50 billionaire families have already spent over $433 MILLION influencing the 2026 midterms.

80% of the cash is going towards politicians and groups who will protect tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations.

Tax the rich.

I’ve managed to put out two pieces so far this year. One was about a jazz album and the process of listening (and it was in Unwinnable’s Exploits, go check it out!). This is the other, and it’s about the American imagination and videogames. They both reflect the kind of writing I want to see.

An adult man named Esoteric Jeff claiming The Onion would be out of business by 2025.

A series of other guys with names like Esoteric Jeff giving The Onion 12 months to live.

The Onion being named one of the most innovative companies of 2026.

Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.

Surely not! Corruption in Trumpland?!
