WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed
OHHH I'M AFRAID THE DEFLECTOR SHIELD WILL BE QUITE OPERATIONAL WHEN YOUR FRIENDS ARRIVE
With the 22nd pick in the draft, the 49ers select power forward Bobson Dugnutt from Eastern Idaho Culinary Academy.
NEW: Stories about pardons are often about presidential power. But what about people on the other side of that grace? The Coulson family may never receive millions from a wrongful death lawsuit it won years ago. @jeremykohler.bsky.social
That said, great last lap by Tyler Reddick I thought Larson had it won when he took the lead.
NASCAR's "overtime" rules are just as stupid as stage racing but people don't talk about it as much.
Man, idk. Clearly what we were trying before didn’t work but I’m kinda skeptical about “Dems suck” Dem messaging in both its leftist and centrist forms for the same reason “Drink Pepsi, it tastes like piss but maybe one day it won’t if you buy enough of it?” would not be a convincing Pepsi ad.
It bothers me more than it should when people act like the Death Star having a 2 meter exhaust port is some kind of contrivance or plot hole. No it isnt! There's a giant power source down there! Having exhaust ports makes total sense! No you cannot just cover them up!
yeah if you claim AI is what’s going to kill the climate, I will assume you are insane
AI is still a rounding error compared to, like, gasoline. it’s nothing. it’s like maybe an eighth of the carbon emissions of cement
This is correct. The tent should be big. Not big enough to include people who want to end liberal democracy. Or who believe 9/11 was a good thing, as Hasan does.
I think there's a lot of really legitimate concerns about AI but 90% of the oppositional discourse is people just reflexively hating it because it's right-wing techbro coded so it must be ontologically evil.
"Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer!"
Krastev called Orban the right-wing Castro, which I think is exactly right: the leader of a small relatively insignificant country, that nevertheless became the ideological lodestar for a global movement after being propped up by russia
Everything is so unserious now.
I’m not even trying to be rude….I have no idea who these people are.
It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...
Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns There's something missing from the Hasan Piker discourse. Hasan's fans and critics often overlook the most troubling fact about him. The core problem with Hasan Piker is that, on a fundamental level, he doesn't believe in liberal democracy. Quote New Liberals 🇺🇦🇹🇼🇬🇱🌐 @CNLiberalism · 2h Hasan Piker promotes authoritarian regimes and political violence. Democrats should be cautious about trying to ally with him. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/has an-piker-is-not-your-ally/id1390384827?i=1000761081323 9:31 AM · Apr 13, 2026 · 109K Views·Twitter Web App 54 Quote Tweets 267 Retweets HoldMyBooks Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns · 2h I don't really want to spend tons of time talking about Hasan. So I'm going to make this one long thread and then, god willing, hopefully not have to talk about it for a while. But it is plainly obvious to anyone with eyes that Piker is an ideological authoritarian.
There's more to the thread (which is also about the podcaster) but this is why a lot of us don't want him anywhere near the Democratic Party.

why the vibecession exists: because you can spit out some vapid BS about how precarity is worse than ever despite what the numbers say, you’ll get a bazillion retweets, but if you point out that claim doesn’t make sense or is incoherent or contradicted by data, you get four retweets and yelled at
This is so bad. Freedom of navigation ops are the core mission of the Navy. They started a war no one wants and because of that can’t fight it and now opened Pandora’s box. What a disaster.

The Kyiv Independent has learned that three more countries are ready to back the tribunal tasked with prosecuting the crime of aggression against Ukraine, bringing the total to 17, above the required minimum of 16 European states.
The “deal” with the Iranians threatens even more than just America's general strategical approach. It threatens the basis of America’s status as a great power.

No, the normies are protesting Trump 2.0 in far greater numbers than in his first term. It’s seemingly just the campus radicals who are arguing that they can’t do it anymore because protest is illegal now
The existence of public sector unions puts pro-union politicians in the uncomfortable position of acting as management in a labor negotiation. That's fine.
The expectation there should be that the pro-labor position is "negotiate in good faith" not "they have to give the union everything they want"
