The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

Good for you. Keep saying the truth plainly.
Congressional reporter says Trump is threatening Republicans not to back the bipartisan push for an Epstein files release vote…
💯
As an atheist former WASP, I am too!
He was the GOP Eric that was supposed to be less of a wing nut 🤦🏻♂️
Also, Jeffries is propping up a series of dangerous fictions -- Trump sincerely wants to help Americans, legislation is still how we get things done, Trump will work to us to do that -- that only provide cover for Trump. Trump's clearly pushed Congress aside! So say it! And fucking act like it!
Not going to stop thinking about the comment that Trump is sending Confederate armies to occupy Northern cities. How much more is there to say? That’s not a “distraction.” It’s what the white supremacists who tried to secede have wanted for over a century. It’s not a distraction to them at all.
They aren’t “errors”. They’re lies and disinformation—propaganda.
How about reporting the *substance* of Prtizker’s comments on the threats of this illegal and illegitimate invasion and what it means?
These motherfuckers are all liars
anyway it’s shocking that no one was able to predict that when the George W. Bush administration gave itself unreviewable powers to murder and imprison people, those powers were eventually going to get used intentionally on noncombatants
I work for a small company in Australia, and all my coworkers are Aussies, so it makes more sense for me than the UK does. Canada does too, since BC is just over two hours away, but they aren’t as keen on admitting random Americans as I would wish.
man. if Eric Schmitt's speech to NatCon isn't a sign of the times, i don't know what is
I have been on the let’s emigrate train for years. Wife is reluctant because of her mom and because “we’ll be fine”. We probably will. Probably. But that doesn’t mean I want to live in this shit. Sadly Australia just had a big Nazi rally so that’s not great in terms of my Plan B. 😬
If we really view China as a geopolitical rival it would be a good idea to stop strengthening its position. 🤷🏼♂️
Idiocy.
Understandably seeing a lot of references to “Clear and Present Danger” and past maritime interdictions. Those aren’t the frames of reference being used by the administration for lethal strikes on supposed “narco-terrorist.” Trump 2.0 wants to do GWOT in the Americas.
💯
When I pointed out to my Traditional Conservative anti-Trump brother that *his* people and the GOP were in the tank for Fascism and that all of the “principles” he voted on were just slogans, his only rejoinder was: “You don’t have to be so condescending.” The Rugged Individualists are crybabies.
I’d say it’s sad what a loser Whitlock has become except he was always a huge loser
I bet there are Centrist Boosters in the comments scolding people that are mad at Jeffries for being a quisling,
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Pritzker is calling out the game, rather than falling into the trap of arguing the merits of a pretext. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The only thing people are worse at than understanding statistics is estimating the relative probabilities of unusual things happening to them.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
“Our CEO should be able to lie about our product’s quality and performance with no repercussions whatsoever”
I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.
the democratic party's bias to normalcy is gonna kill us off. the gop is literally talking about a military junta and the democratic leader is operating like he can just cut a deal with republicans like its normal times.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
What the actual fuck
Jain is good at statistics but has no clue about politics. He is the perfect example of a Quant Bro with no domain knowledge who thinks he knows it all because he wrote some R script and did some EDA.

I have seen one trolling like that: Vivek. Hmm.
He also seems to believe his opinion on every single thing matters and is worth sharing. 🤦🏻♂️
There seems to be a lot of money in cosplaying at opposition. 🤬
I don’t recall anybody asking
He means being called out on his bullshit
The United States government is currently a clear and present danger to everybody on the planet.
Boneless beef short rib Crying Tiger steak style
Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now
That's different. Ours will guard anything that smells even vaguely of food. With his LIFE.
Riggins will guard a bag of dog food, a sack of horse grain, a grocery bag containing only canned food, or (in one memorable case) an unpeeled grapefruit.
When I am getting frustrated and my ire is rising my wife gives me the look. It does not calm me, but fear does lengthen my fuse I guess
This is how to cover this. NPR did a spot on the award and said nothing about 2020 and Giuliani’s lies.

Absolutely true. They see zero logical inconsistency in wanting freedoms and protections for themselves and limited rights (or state violence) for people they don’t like. It isn’t inconsistent; it’s the natural order.
I gasped
Quality satire 👍🏼

And then there is Fox, which is located on a dodgy side road near the cargo terminal, rents bad cars cheaply, and also deals in black market organs, probably.
I would like to see the whole Fak clan make the journey
😂
I’m most tired of brand name big media covering the EOs as if they have real legal heft.

Al Jazeera with a much more direct and accurate synopsis than you would ever see in the NYT or WaPo.
There is a dick pill ad that runs overnight on FS1 a ton that uses an AI voice. Makes my skin crawl just hearing it. I watch a lot of AFL and let me tell you, the cheapest Fox ad slots are filled with all kinds of not great commercials.
My great great grandfather was a whaler from Portugal. I could have a cool name, but he changed our last name to something super English. Which is probably for the best since like 95% of my other DNA is from the British Isles.
Watching my team struggle with a Mountain West team. A below average Mountain West team.
I was recently blown away by how many enormous cities in Brazil I don’t know a thing about.
Pretty sure that’s not a lawful order, but they aren’t sticklers about such things
I’m admittedly pretty Mexico-crazy for a gringo who can only speak a tiny bit of Spanish 🤷🏼♂️
I didn’t suggest you were from Arkansas!
Not either of those things, but perhaps not capitals of authentic ethnic cuisines
I’m not trying to make fun of you, I just assume you must live in like Pittsburgh or Maine or something
Oaxaca, Chihuahua, and Sinaloa would like a word
I’m trying to figure out where you live that both Tapatio and the entire state of Jalisco are foreign to you
You don’t know Tapatio sauce?
S&V chips, all day, every day Now if they were the Tapatio or Flamin’ Hot Limon Doritos 🤷🏼♂️
Centrist at the nazi rally: oh no I’m not here for the protest, I’m here to protest the counter protest
One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”
As a non Midwesterner I could not hack the weather, but it’s a world class city.
I always see Marc Maron when I see his avatar if I am not wearing my reading glasses. I wonder how many other people make that association. It makes me feel bad for Marc.
Yes, the Ford/Hatfield swap between Clemson and the Arkies was amusing AF from afar
A Destroyer going down Pennsylvania Avenue should do the trick
I mean isn’t that possibly an extinction level event 🤷🏼♂️
😂
Oh, *that* one! Also: look at those empty container ship berths!
It’s the zenith of zero sum thinking.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Vocabulary and map nerd here
Good for you, that makes two of us
It’s not doomerism to recognize reality. 🤷🏼♂️
One of the sitting Florida senators committed the largest Medicare fraud EVER. I will absolutely wave it away. It’s pretextual and taking it seriously is akin to taking the “crime wave” pretext for the DC occupation seriously.
The fact the Fed didn’t rally around her immediately is a very bad sign for Fed independence. They are still thinking the way you are and that’s why the Fed will eventually be corrupted by MAGA.
Sorry this is LawyerBrain. There is no rule of law any more. Worrying about playing by the rules or that there are even rules is literally a trap when there are Fascists at the DOJ and every other agency looking for the ways to pervert the law for their agenda.
Why does Clemson have a tiny cannon on a hand truck?
Again
Here is something that IS certain: this is all pretextual. Honestly, I could give two fucks if she did make a minor misrepresentation. It’s not great, but it’s not uncommon. The current occupant of the Oval Office is a felon and a Fascist. They don’t care about the law—they’re using it as a tool.

Essential thread. My one comment is that I am fine with allying with people whose politics suck if it helps defeat Fascism, but that is very different from actively supporting them to be our leaders.
