I am not kidding at all when I say that every Democrat with a microphone should mock JD Vance every chance they get between now and 2028. Call him weird and feckless. Laugh at his eyeliner & dumb beard. Talk about the nazis & freaks he follows on Twitter. *Brand* him.
TRUMP: *signs his name* Oh, that's a good one. Look at that, Joe. Do you think Biden can do that?

Refunds for the people who gouged you.
the strait of hormuz needs to have regular, predictable open hours or frankly they are going to lose me as a customer
It's just crazy to see a genuine star in the Democratic Party talking about the *working class*. Not *working families* not *the middle class* not *ordinary Americans*.
The working class. Words two consecutive generations of Democrats were bullied into never speaking aloud.
Note the sudden explosion of false statements by Trump just before markets were closing for the week. You can count on it that someone was investing in reliance on these tweets, and made a killing. The question is: who?
Law and order.
Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry—no one showed up. The stadium was empty.
last week i wrote a 5-figure check to the IRS. i should’ve just made it out to him and cut out all that messy bureaucracy in the middle.
Is the alleged Jan. 5, 2021 pipe bomber covered by President Trump's pardons for Jan. 6 defendants?
@ericcolumbus.bsky.social explains whether the argument will hold up in court.
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Pack it up and go home. We just saved democracy.
you can literally just impeach all these guys. all you need is the votes. you don't even need a good reason
The average taxpayer paid $4,000 for war and weapons last year, including money to the Israeli military.
Child care Healthcare ) The US is spending billions of Americans' tax dollars on harming and killing families abroad. That's money that could be spent on: Education Affordable housing and so much more
The average taxpayer paid $4,000 for war and weapons last year. Americans paid $4,000 from their hard earned money to fund the killing of women, men, and children. Americans funded the genocide in Gaza. Let that sink in.

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.
Headline from The Guardian: Traders placed over $1 billion in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on?
Yeah geez weird impossible to know I guess
It's almost as if everything Trump says about the negotiations bullshit and everyone who believes him is a cultist or a moron.
“Frustration with modern dating” feels like an awfully charitable phrasing for what’s motivating these guys
A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!
We have a serious problem with appellate courts not having district courts' backs on things like fact-intensive injunctions.
The Trump administration literally lied about the need for ballroom construction, and the appeals court is saying we like to be lied to.
Kash Patel advisor Erica Knight says a “lawsuit is being filed” over The Atlantic’s article alleging that the FBI director’s drinking has been “a recurring source of concern across the government.”
Patel retweeted the post.
On multiple occasions in the past year, members of a security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to justice department of White House officials. Our request for “breaching equipment” – normally used by SWAT and hostage rescue teams to quickly gain entry into the buildings – was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind, locked doors, according to multiple their request
I’ve been drunk but never “call the breaching team” drunk
i have zero sympathy for gosar, who has lied to his constituents for years about his health and who is a profoundly repulsive person, but it makes you wonder how empty the barrel has gotten that TPUSA would put him onstage like this
In the US you can't even take off a day to care for an ill human lmao
This is what happens at concentration camps
Trump is totally unreliable about status of negotiations. The Iranians are actually more likely to be accurate
bailing pre-IPO is the part that made me blink. walking away from free money is just NOT something people in this industry typically do.
While russian propaganda claims that Donbas has always been russian, the archival images tell a different story — beautiful Ukrainian vyshyvankas in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the 1920s–30s.
Donetsk is Ukraine.
Luhansk is Ukraine.
