Wow
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Nate Silver criticizing Bluesky as inherently flawed because a large group of people who reject our current sucktopia must interact with the sucktopians or else they are not getting the full sucktopian experience.

“They knocked out one of my teeth. They messed up my knees. They messed up my ribs.” Now free, the Venezuelan men the Trump administration sent to El Salvador want the world to know what they lived through.

Sam Maiden, thanks for the complex background to Bob Katter, but he’s an adult who bears responsibility for his behaviour, and if he is so troubled by this aspect of his identity, he should get proper help and not make others carry the cost. #insiders

Bill Pulte has weaponized his office to attack Trump’s political enemies, including economist Lisa Cook. However, critics argue that Pulte's abuse of office is "a far, far greater offense than any personal mortgage occupancy fraud by a federal official."

Trump picked Vance for loyalty and got a guy who’d sell him out for a Costco rotisserie chicken.

I also don't doubt it's true Cuomo worked the jobs he's describing (rich parents making their kids do that sort of thing happens), but there's definitely a better way to phrase it that doesn't sound like he's absurdly claiming humble origins.

#ICYMI: Me on Trump's latest request for "emergency" relief from #SCOTUS (on foreign aid impoundment), and how it depends upon an emergency the government manufactured and a claim that DOJ failed to properly preserve below. In other words, it relies upon the justices not caring about being played:

She was a criminal and now they are giving her the honors of an American hero at the same time that the Republicans in the House refuse to hang a plaque honoring the hundreds of Capitol Police that defended them. Just disgusting. thehill.com/policy/defen...

House Oversight just served a subpoena on Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate to obtain things like his last will & testament, as well as video surveillance from his properties where crimes were committed. My deep dive into why this production could lead to even more disclosures. youtu.be/Lnj0FCZJNtY?...

Donald Trump turned a booming economy into a stagnant one in record time. His war on affordability and small businesses are having real impacts — from his chaotic tariffs to his job and economy-killing immigration raids. California will continue to fight back.
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

I'm wondering: in 2028, when trump tries to put himself on the ballot for a third term, whether states are prepared to keep him off the ballot and what the Supreme Court will do. I think it's pretty clear cut, but I thought that about immunity, Dobbs, and section 3 of the 14th Amendment, too.
