we may be one of the few pubs that got this headline right Trump And Vance Ambush Zelensky In Prelude To Betrayal talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-and…

Just congenital liars. Under Bill Clinton Congress *** passed a budget *** that reduced the federal workforce by that number. Flagrantly unconstitutional vs constitutional. Not a difficult distinction to grasp if you're not full time fluffing Elon Musk or Donald Trump.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspaper could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened

Zelensky has been thanking America for our support for years, again & again. Trump and his most degenerate diehard supporters think Trump is America. That’s the confusion. We’re Americans. We don’t have kings or masters. Real Americans choke on the craven obsequiousness Trump

It's remarkable how many journalists don't know what an executive order is. English is not the official language of the US govt any more than it was a week ago. An EO is no more than the President's directive to exec branch officials about what *his* policies and what he directs

I've got to say, it's absolutely breathtaking to watch Republican representatives almost uniformly behave like they all represent R+55 areas in Eastern Tennessee. Elections in 2026 are still a thing (states run them) — and the thermostat doesn't *only* work in one direction.

Vice President J.D. Vance just clapped about getting rid of the CHIPS and Science Act that's giving $7.8 billion in direct funding for the Intel microchip plant in central Ohio.

There's this conventional wisdom that despite the insanity Trump's numbers have shown little impact. Not really. In six weeks he's gone from +8.2 approval to net negative (-.3) as of last night. By any standard that's a sharp drop.

The stock market is down but at least everything is more expensive and services are getting shittier. On the other hand we have more measles. To be fair, they are finally delivering the reductions in FAA and National Parks staff that people have been demanding.

This is the article of my dreams. Finally, finally delving into the ways in which cochlear implants can fail deaf kids, and the importance of early sign language - all upside, no downside. Amazing work, Cathleen O'Grady ! science.org/content/articl…

Trump's greatest accomplishment in his first term was Operation Warp Speed, and Democrats are the only people who have praised him for that.

This is a perfect expression of MAGA's nihilism. Wisconsin is a 50-50 state. So roughly half its House seats should be held by Democrats. Instead, because of political gerrymandering, the GOP has 6 of 8 Wisconsin House seats. Remedying that is not gerrymandering. It's fairness.

The thing we learned from Web2 is that the most impactful businesses became the most impactful by optimizing for addiction. Which means we should all ask, how would you optimize generative AI for addiction? Whatever makes it the most addictive is probably what it will become.

Racism and sexism is fundamentally stupidity, and it leads to bad decision making.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200k/year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Ohio State’s College Football National Trophy knows that JD Vance’s soul isn’t worthy, and thus, he’s unable to lift the trophy without breaking it.

This! Joost, a good articulation of the "answering obvious Facebook puzzles smugly" and "MAGA" nexus.

“We are who we are in this country because we invested so methodically in science. And we’re chasing the most talented scientists out of this country right now. That’s nuts” Senate Energy Democrats Ranking Member Martin Heinrich now with David Roberts for Canary Live.

Real question is whether the algorithm here goes anti-Trump.

Truth Social has crashed from the traffic surge and in so doing accidentally created a hauntingly poignant image.
