Elizabeth Williamson once wrote about me, and I can attest she's a skilled, thorough, and honest reporter. If you're in the public eye, you should expect journalists to write about you—especially if you hold public office.
Kash Patel is pure garbage, even when he's sober.
Props to the NY Times editor and reporter who refused to sanewash this www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...
I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages!
If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is
Honestly, I'm surprised Hegseth still calls it the "Department of the Navy" and not the "Department of Aquamen" or something else a fifth grader would think sounded cool
Why can’t we rely on Canada, did our government do something that alienated them
Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.
So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.
List of things that look cool in movies but suck irl:
• obsession
• evil
• people with superpowers
• amorality
• pirates
• dark academia
• war
• fascism
• parties (let's be honest here)
• dude stalking you
• "until the last man" mindset
• skin-tight clothes
• WORKING AT A HOSPITAL
• nostalgia
"logic of Musk’s empire is total. X shapes the discourse. Grok automates it. Grokipedia rewrites the historical record. Starlink can deliver it all, everywhere, to everyone. Each layer reinforces the others. It’s not about winning arguments in the public sphere. It’s about building a replacement."
COONS: Why is it a good idea to relieve sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil?
BESSENT: The $14 billion number is a DNC talking point
COONS: I am not the DNC. I'm the senator from Delaware
The overwhelming ethos of Trumpism is “bully who can dish it out but can’t take it”
Is not going to spread out through the economy. We need energy. We’re not energy independent and never will be.
We tanked the energy sector. AG needs energy. It’s a domino.
If AG falls, we can’t feed ourselves.
You won’t see that until after this harvest season.
Youre in the now. Which explains a lot. Those numbers serve as an indicator.
My OG post is reference to me continually saying “watch the AG” industry. It’s what I consider one of the key parts of our economy.
Oil is hand and hand with AG.
That price being what it is now?
Am I the only one who literally understands America is a globalized economy? Like….. we aren’t the only farmers in the world?
Also “spread over the economy” after a post about this giant spike in prices being over “fertilizer” that is not accessible.
That doesn’t even make sense to say it’ll spread over the economy.
Read your first post. Then this one in succession and you’ll understand consumers can’t buy shit.
Gas is expensive already.
If we don’t buy the food it goes to waste. No money is to be made. It doesn’t go back to the farms. Farms bankrupt.
We just saw this with $8 chips. Like…
We’re so fucked.
Part of the reason for the attack when it happened?
AG season. Always. Always pay attention to your food source.
This will destabilize the market for the techno lords to buy up the land and AI the fuck out of the farming/AG world.
We’re cooked.
Techno-communism.
The other intellectually consistent position is that, since the nonexistence of mass voter fraud is a scientific fact just like the direction of the sunrise, we stop lying & restricting suffrage & just hold elections.
The GOP is welcome to embrace democracy & either of these positions at any time.
The intellectually consistent position on this is that everyone should have to show ID & everyone should be issued national ID cards at no/minimal cost & everyone should then be automatically registered to vote & we should be done with any & all discussions about restricting suffrage & voter fraud.
wait until republicans learn that the scotus decision on absolute immunity applies to a democratic president as well
Fuck yes AOC! FUCK YES
Brrrrrrrrrrooooooooooo this is getting fn annoying!!!!!!! He is too stupid to be in office wtf are we even doing man?
I took an undergrad class called "The Scientific Study of War" and at least back then, we called a one-sided ceasefire after failing to achieve any of one's war aims a "surrender."
Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
I don't really approve of gerrymandering, but our wise and enlightened Supreme Court has said it was totally in accordance with the law and custom Constitution, and who am I argue with the Sainted John Roberts? 🥺🥺🥺
Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus
Lol dude said social media has nuked a specific group.
Wait till they do a social media and Gen X correlation lmao. Gen X is the absolute worst when it comes to the internet because they were adults when it came out and let me tell ya.
They’re fucking worse. Boomers on steroids.
