I'd much rather we were talking about this Michael.

Tucker Carlson: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”

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.

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

*sigh*

1. That's not a direct quote. If you're going to put something in quotation marks and then go, "Wow. He just came right out and said it," it should be a direct quote.

2. This speech is from 2018. Don't present it as new/recent.

3. The actual content of the speech is bad enough.

Tweet by director Joseph Kahn: The solution to the theatrical problem is very simple. Extend the time before it goes to streaming. Make it 180 days. 6 months. If you don't watch it in theaters you won't get to see it for a long time. Studios have devalued their product by letting the consumer know there's no urgency. They're going to see it for "free" later. They've cheapened the business into a buffet and violated basic supply and demand.

plainly true

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

Mike Johnson was "taken aback" by the Pope commenting on war and advocating for peace, but not by Trump cosplaying as Jesus.

You can't make this stuff up.

Despicable fucking government.

Imagine not seeing the hypocrisy in claiming to be passing a “protect free speech” bill while banning student walkouts.

That’s Gino Bulso and the @TNGOP for ya! wpln.org/post/tenness...

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

This is NUTS

“He has several sexual assault accusations against him, but maybe they’re not true.”

“He has a Nazi tattoo and racist Reddit posts, but maybe he’s not that bad.”

Not how you build a passionate voter base. We Democrats need to do better than this shit.

Megyn, admit that Santa is Black and maybe we’ll consider it.

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

Why would Iran relinquish control of a strait the US can’t take from it or a nuclear program the US can’t stop? Iran has INCREASED its demands from before the war, because we’ve proven we are incapable of defeating the country in the ways we care about. Maybe the greatest US humiliation in history.

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

This picture should haunt Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat and the National Security Advisor, who is complicit in this disastrous war (cc @dandrezner.bsky.social). The NYT reporting shows he had reservations and did nothing to try to stop it. And gutted the State Dept.

was once New Amsterdam.

Trump at a UFC event last night told fighter Paulo Costa he’s too good-looking to fight.

“You’re a beautiful guy. You could be a model, you look so good.”

This was what Trump was doing as negotiations with Iran imploded.

Repost. My response is the same. They're going to have to put limits on numbers of executive orders and pardons too.

Judges Fired After Blocking Deportations of Pro-Palestinian Students

Wow … that’s a GREAT day by any reasonable measure.

This may be a fundamentally new kind of sin blending blasphemy, idolatry, divination, and simony, among others. Those who are not horrified at this may be entirely lacking in authentic religious awareness and feeling.
