That cnn headline is a little late.
Pretty certain these guys name their biggest weapon "the compensator".
Thank you for your thoughtful response.
Super. Bring on a candidate who can win and one for whom you approve. What you do not have is the luxury of sitting out the next election; not voting is definitionally accepting the possibility that your least favored candidate wins.
I think he meant to write by 2228.
Omg. They’re not too bright, are they?
If you don’t measure it then it won’t happen!
"We will not go back"? What? We have already been dragged back. Isn’t that clear enough? In the same way that we’re not racing toward an authoritarian/fascist state; we already are there. Our job is to now “get back”.
It’s borderline both-siderism but for no reason at all except to have a veneer of journalism 101.
There is utterly no reason why the phrase “with lapses” needs to be there.
Tool.
Glad you were allowed to publish this.
Are you even allowed to write about climate change?
Glad you guys were even allowed to write about it.
Tool.
That was not a brilliant comment on their part (good!). Shouldn’t that sink them ipso facto?

I’m able to have both sympathy for him (and his family) and think he is a buffoon.
Good! (Why would one choose a $500 annuity when even earning 1% on the $250,000 lump sum would yield $2,500 each year?)
Wow - looks like it was now changed on line. Thank you for making it clearer.
@zjmontague.bsky.social Maybe edit “…the longstanding custom…” to something like “…as is embedded in the crystal-clear 14th Amendment…"
That’s the most serious non-jokey borowitz report ever.
What? Answer: A non-caring, addled uncurious cruel drama-obsessed man-child malignant narcissist. That’s why.

This is sick.
What could go wrong?

Well, I think this still is in place in the US: the prosecution will have to present actual real evidence to make a winning argument. The catch: I don’t think they have that evidence.
This is such very important stuff to keep our military at its lethal best. Gotta prioritize you know. Hoo-ay!
If only there were a solid, fast moving emergency-response federal agency that could help an affected population in their time of need and vulnerability.
So it should not be reported? It was a failure to meet an earlier moment, which may have brought us to this moment. When you criticize something it’s always good to ask yourself if the thing being criticized is true.
@ourintrepidhero.bsky.social just a teeny little different now. www.instagram.com/p/DJwS7euxjl...
You’re wrong. It does not need to be explicit. Look forward to the correction.
Someone online has created a LinkedIn account for Elmo, the Muppet from Sesame Street, with the goal of raising public awareness of funding cuts to public broadcasting.
It’s grotesque.
Nice cat.
— “or did he?” What? It’s a clown show. He’s not playing 3-D chess. Or even 2-D chess. Or checkers. Or even tiddlywinks. It’s as thoughtful as how he produced the tariff numbers in the first place. It’s all about power, projection, grievance and misplaced reasoning.
Buffoon.
Why would you publish this rubbish? It’s sort of madness.
And it continues. Congress NOW could put a stop to the tariffs but Republican congressmen refuse to go there. This, and most/all of the rest of the bonkers/stupid/self-defeating/cruel agenda.
This is the best news ever. I bet he wins.
Normally, if I wrote, "He’s a fucking idiot" you might be hard pressed to know about whom I’m referring without further context.
You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.
Holy cow you are so right on.

So fake, but they can download all 900+ pages of it?
You never want to get this particular lecture from a judge.
That’s really sad and it will be remembered.
“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.
What is it called when one defies a court order?
This action and the people ordering it and the people affecting it are grotesque.
These little fuckers are grotesque. www.rawstory.com/arlington-na...
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.
It’s an amazing order; no one has ever seen an order this good.
Yeah, right. Good one.
What a fucking waste of resources.
JFC I missed this earlier Two top SDNY prosecutors in the Adams corruption case told they are on leave today and immediately escorted from the building. Because Adams sucked up to Trump and promised to round up immigrants. This is sickening. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/n...
Make no mistake, this will happen daily until January 20, 2029 ...
Ug. This is really disturbing. If you ask them what happened, please share the response (or their non- response).
If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.
So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.
Will these kinds of wapo articles possibly deemed critical of anything related to the the current administration be allowed going forward? I ask because of the recent changes around the opinion pages.
I present to you the next deputy director of the FBI!
Go Tina!! Breath of fresh air.
Ummm…no, not «appears». Should be: «…is making a Nazi salute at CPAC.»
Is this the first misstep I’ve heard from Jeffries?

Her letter is bonkers fantastic. Clear, concise, exhaustive. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Holy cow. In addition to the extortion-y comment, he actually calls the President of another country - of an ally no less - “Governor”. Not in error but by design as both a not too subtle put down but also to highlight his intentions. It’s grotesque. x.com/atrupar/stat...
Here is her letter to the US Attorney General. It’s brilliant. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.
Did a particular thing prompt this or just the current general preponderance of grotesqueness?
The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.
Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.
But it’s even more than that: there also would be left wing (justified) outrage. — And THAT is the difference between us and them.
As we start another week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 19 states. A team starts trial to protect the Voting Rights Act in Alabama tomorrow! Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and democracy is on the docket.
And this was in 2022. Would be great to reprise it now.
Oops.
No corruption here, huh?
huh, i wonder what this is about www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Doesn’t narrow the FIELD all that much!
The bonkers part is that when you write that “This guy is dangerous…" it doesn’t narrow the all that much.
Contracts? DOGE is not a ‘thing’. It’s not an agency or department of the U.S.

If your US passport has anything less than 4 years left to expiry, I would renew immediately.
🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower
Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.
