Pam Bondi, a Trump loyalist who oversaw Justice Department upheaval, is out as his attorney general Bondi's departure ends the contentious tenure of a Trump loyalist who upended the Justice Department’s culture of independence from the White House.

Imagine breaking so many norms and doing all the shady things your awful boss demands, and it still isn't enough.

Once again, being a bootlicker doesn't protect you, and you will still have done terrible things

OpenAI went from nonprofit "for humanity" to $157B valuation in 7 years. The humanities scholars called it: capital doesn't co-opt ideas gradually. It incorporates them at founding, writes the mission statement, and charges you access fees to the output.

Brent Bozell is following Trump’s script in South Africa The new U.S. ambassador to South Africa is finding that many U.S. priorities are unpopular in his first weeks on the job.

Remember how the US federal government let the National Bank expire in 1811 because the government was run by people who were driven by stupid, petty, old grudges and not because the Bank was failing? 1/2

I spent the past week watching a few Facebook Groups Maine X Community and Maine Rising. It’s astonishing at the amount of blatantly false stories being shared and instantly believed. Anyone who tries to fact-check is assaulted with 6th-grade slurs and don’t get me started on the racism.

Yes, they are harkening back to a time when barbarity was the standard and celebrated with little trinkets of body parts. A fully formed unapologetic racial hierarchy as the founders wanted and encouraged.

Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.
