They look like what gets spit out of the cloning machine while it’s being calibrated.

Hard pass. I will defend him against tyranny but I will not lionize him. Fiona Hill, on the other hand showed up when it counted and not just to sell a book.
Thank you, Mr. Dickerson. Your pieces are in their own way a quiet rebellion.
How about more schools and community programs instead?
More money for education and less money for guys with guns.
I can only hear the Clash version of this.
The things you find in Central Park.
“Leave of absence” is a very strange phrase.
I mean this in the kindest way possible: You’re not doing yourself any favors here. Maybe go touch some grass.
Same. The 2024 campaign was like watching civilization itself put a gun to its head and on election night it pulled the trigger.
They are all such unserious ppl playing with the lives of billions.
You could say it never really left its point of origin.
MAGA can’t even understand that their own allegiance is to Russia and China as well.
I’d be curious to know what a solid constitutional amendment on gerrymandering could look like. Will never happen, but we sorely need one.
Ted Cruz wakes up in the morning wondering how divisive he can be that day.
Space lasers.
But if Musk owned instagram then it would not be The Way.
And Musk did to Twitter. This is oligarchic capturing of the world’s most democracy-promoting platforms.
Does that mean if I previously paid $100 for a medication, I will now BE PAID $1400 to take it? Wow! Sounds amazing!
The kind of info every beltway journalist probably knows, but won’t report.
The original Sesame Street did many groundbreaking things, but to me the best thing it did was put poor kids on TV.
Congrats to anyone who bought ad time on tomorrow’s Breakfast Club.
My resentment stems from the fact that both groups have clearly shorted the United States and are looking to cash in.
I am sorry for us all.
Meanwhile, the stochastic terrorism will barely get noticed.
The GOP war room is in St Petersburg.
Is someone keeping a comprehensive list of all the things (e.o.’s, laws, appointments, rose gardens) that must be turned back to their pre-Trump state once he’s been driven from power?
This needs to be emphasized because Trump supporters will spin this into an exoneration: “You see? Trump was so disgusted with Epstein’s treatment of young women that he kicked him out of his club!”
Important to note that Trump does not express any concern for what may have happened to the workers whom Epstein poached. It’s simply the fact that they were poached that upset him.
How many reputable high-end spas employ teenage girls as masseurs? If you are an honest client dropping hundreds of dollars on a massage and the masseuse is not a trained, experienced practitioner but some teenage part-timer… wouldn’t you be pissed?
Not really up on the whole spa scene but… Is it normal for a spa to employ 16 year olds?
He’s rentin’, he’s rentin’, he’s cold cold rentin’.
The man predicted the future and he told you exactly how it was going to happen, too
This is a sinister twist on “fake it ‘til you make it,” which is endemic to our culture. I’m struck by how similar these “conservatives” are to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs (see: Elizabeth Holmes) — pitch decks that are complete bullshit but still rake in billions.
Not just Republicans. *Religious conservative* Republicans.
It’s worth mentioning that South Park reaches pro-Trump demographics. This is as if Rogan or Vonn had ridiculed the president.
I don’t agree with MAGA on anything EXCEPT for the uniparty thing.
The Senator from Maine has surely learned his lesson.
Going to hang on to my 2010 Prius as long as I possibly can.
Just wait til the AI starts making up nuclear strikes that don’t exist.
Iron Man will live again. RIP, Ozzie.
Tired: Infrastructure Week Wired: Trade Deal Week
I’ve never agreed with a post more.
The NewsHour remains one of America’s most professional, serious, high-minded news outlets. The more ppl get their news from them, the better off we’ll be.
Everything that is working right now with Trump/Epstein has zero to do with Democrats. Were it not for the MAGA influencers going after their own, Musk pushing it on X and Murdoch twisting the knife, this all would have blown over. Hate to say, but Dems are irrelevant.
The irony is that America has a ton of LGBTQ service people who would be a lot more prepared for what he’s about to go through.
What I need explained is why Murdoch is knifing Trump now.
One of my favorite websites of the very early internet was this single page trying to disprove the existence of Idaho.
At this point I think it’s ok to be on the fence about it.
Beutler is great. We need more Dems like him.
Still, whenever I visit the other place, all I get fed is anti-Trump Epstein stuff. Elon is pushing this hard.
I will only vote for a Democrat who campaigns on expanding the Court.
This gives me hope.
If Trump has truly made an enemy of Musk we can expect the algorithm over at X to run with this.
Would seriously consider looking abroad.
🎵 It must be nice, it must be niiice to have the media on your side. 🎵
I asked Siri to pull up Ursula von der Leyen’s Wikipedia page and it gave me Ursula from the Little Mermaid. 🤷🏻♂️
DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Trump: DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. Also Trump: Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It’s something a comic book villain would say about someone they thought they’d already killed.
Calling Epstein “the guy who never dies” is such a tell.
gates on corporate money in our elections. I know none of this convinces you. You probably think Roe was a worse decision than Dred Scott. But if you were the only one reading this I wouldn’t bother.
Stone of judicial corruption. Court watchers have all but given up trying to find rationales for these decisions that aren’t purely political. Not to mention the just plainly destructive rulings like Citizens United. You know: the one that said corporations were ppl. The one that opened the flood
Leaking the Dobbs decision. Something that’s never been done before. And it’s funny how this court regularly overturns ironclad decisions from lower circuits — decisions often penned by Republican appointees — in favor of Trump. The immunity decision was especially egregious. It’s like the Rosetta
Well we could start with a guy named Harlan Crow. Which justice did he buy off? Oh yeah, the one whose wife was a J6 co-conspirator. Was he the justice who was secretly recorded last year saying he sees his role as an us vs them partisan deal? No, that was Alito. The same guy widely suspected of…
I like the Constitution just fine, thanks. The current Supreme Court, however, is the most corrupt bench since Taney was in charge. Oh, and the court has been expanded and contracted many times in our history and somehow the world didn’t end.
That’s the question. Hence the quotes. Seeing as how the current chief justice just loves him some unitary executive, seems to me you either wait for a lot of ppl to die or you expand the court.
You would have to “reform” the current Supreme Court first.
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
Many court observers paint Robert’s as an advocate for the unitary executive. I think this is far too generous. His pet project is and always has been white supremacy. The VRA is his greatest trophy.
I can only read these tweets in the voice of that karate instructor from Napoleon Dynamite.
Yes. “Gamed” should be read as “complicit.” The pattern is that the NYT sucks up to whomever they think has the most power. Those interests seldom align with small-d democratic values.
Dressage. Perfect.
That means you’re wise enough to know that ppl are complicated. One does not have to buy wholesale into progressive culture to be down with the cause.
Hi. 50-something Democrat here. Have never voted for a Republican. Income inequality and climate change are my issues. I also have a viscerally negative reaction to ppl who police other ppl’s language, think virtue signaling is a thing and could care less about pronouns. Nice to meet you.
I love how annoyed Charles Schulz was by Watterson because he refused to sell out.
Donald using the proper form of ‘whom?’ I dunno…
I think we’d need to re-found the country to regain any semblance of a constitutional republic.
I’m willing to bet it’s not new at all. Just more out in the open.
Yes sorry Wisconsin.
His loss in Minnesota has taken the sting out of that threat.
Running Man was supposed to be a cautionary tale.
Il dit n’importe quoi.
I felt dirty voting for her in the last election. Didn’t want to, but I couldn’t cast a vote of conscience while lecturing others to be pragmatic about their Harris vote.
I will only vote Democrats who run on a platform of dissolving ICE and expanding SCOTUS.
Same! Loved season 1.
(K)NoW_Name, huh? So you’re an anime fan too…
Same! Proud founder of my 4th grade Run DMC fan club, circa 1984.
This just might go down in history as the greatest Run DMC citation ever.
Or maybe everyone should just acknowledge that extreme income inequality needs to be addressed.
I’m going to rank Mamdani, but I’m under no illusions he would be a successful mayor. Among other things, NYPD will make his life a living hell if he doesn’t play ball.
I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵
It’s beyond belief.
Guess who’s back. Back again. Petri’s back. Tell a friend.
The truth is verboten. Ask Terry Moran.
Well said. May your words reach many many ears.
When America was truly great:
It all went wrong when we decided the Promised Land was a geographic location.
At some point, Russia figured out how to successfully rig democratic elections in the West: either by tampering with voting mechanics, manipulating public opinion, or both.
Because Democrats have to apologize for everything and Republicans have to apologize for nothing.
