I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.
Springer having arguably the best season of his career as a hitter and he’s gonna turn 36 in like two weeks. Bonkers.
I hope Donald Trump dies as he lived: on television
For argument sake: let’s say this were About Crime and they did something ELSE that would actually have a bigger, real effect. Declare martial law. Go full el Salvadoran regime. I would still be against it even if the robbery rate came down to zero b/c the “cure” is way worse than the disease
if you want to argue you’d be ok with President Gavin Newsom deploying the marines and national guard to Florida or Mississippi or Alabama cities or areas to “fight crime” when he says openly and explicitly “I’ll lay off, if you change your voting laws or are nice to me,” I dunno man
(doing the Vince McMahon faces) Agnes Callard… in the free press… on Taylor Swift’s impending marriage to Travis Kelce
Hes doing the bare minimum, he's doing it too late, and he's a gleefully supporter of a fucking genocide. This ghoul needs to hang...at the ballot box.

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
That was the funniest weekend ever on Twitter, even funnier than Four Seasons Total Landscaping because all the dipshits who swore up and down that the virus wasn’t real and that Hydroxychloroquine was all you needed to survive were suddenly terrified that Daddy was going to die from it
Americans Astronomers watching watching US politics Betelgeuse 🤝 “It could happen at any time”
One reason for Democrats to ditch their reflex to say "You have a point" to the other side is the right wing hasn't had a good point about anything in most of our lifetimes
New episode! In the summer of 1809, General Sir Arthur Wellesley led a small British army into Spain. While the war raged on, Napoleon was also picking a political fight with a powerful enemy: the Roman Catholic Church. www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect...
Ghost is exactly the same and you will save so much money dude.
I'm not sure Americans have a frame of reference for the sort of gangster government we have now. Any objective functions it performs are an afterthought. The law only used as a tool to punish political enemies and ignored in every other instance
15 years ago today I took an incredibly on-the-nose photo
Love the man, so happy for him and his success.

since we don’t have drafts, I’m just going to post a joke six hours before it works and you all can come back to it later: Four Seasons Total Chappaquidick
The father/daughter cotillion in the south had me crying with laughter
She was so good in that performance that she managed to steal a Borat film from Sasha Baron Cohen
Borat 2 was hit and miss but the Giuliani part was INCREDIBLE and it’s astounding to me that they were able to keep it in the movie, Maria Bakalova deserved danger pay for letting it go that far while staying in character, richly deserved Oscar nomination
trying to imagine firefighters getting dispatched to this house and the absolute nightmare that would be
Lmfao, awesome.

My favorite sentence in the New York Times explainer on Mamdani and socialism.
Congrats!
My place of work successfully voted to unionize just a few weeks ago!
wow
Pretending eugenics and fascism are in no way related is like being aggressively ignorant in public
For real. It's an economic asset that belongs to the ladies he criminally slandered.
They cannot do anything, up to and including releasing a statement, normally. This is weird as shit. But in all seriousness, this is too bad and I really hope the car is ok.
Hope the car is ok
There are about six answers to this. 1. The clothing in the Regency is not fugly, and much of the Victorian era clothing is. THE SLEEVES. *shudders* I say this as someone who writes in the Victorian era.
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.
Got my Fantasy Football home league draft at noon and then Oasis tonight. Sunday Funday, baby
how would this work, exactly? let's say jon ossof wins reelection next year. who forces the state of georgia to throw out the ballots? bsky.app/profile/jmb0...
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
there is nothing, for instance, that can trump can say or do that would force the colorado secretary of state to mandate voter ID or restrict mail-in voting
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Fair, but my point is I think he's a lot more likely to see hell very soon than others do.
He also eats like absolute shit and has never, ever exercised. And I think there's some evidence of amphetamines and other drugs.
This should have been a Wii Sport
“Don’t attack Newsom from the left” “Okay I’ll attack him on secular grounds - the guy’s a Scientologist”
Weren't people doing that joking he was dead and making fun of qanon type thinking, not believing it? And while no one thinks the problems will go away he's a very bad man, his death will be a good thing and the world will be at least slightly better!
Wait LMAO Jesus, Benny Johnson has four kids? That’s either a lot of lying back and thinking of England or a Kendall Roy situation
Kill it with hammers
I can
The apartment building of New York Times Executive Editor Joseph Kahn was defaced with red paint and graffiti in the early hours of Friday morning. The paint covered the walls and front steps to the apartment building, and writing at the base of the steps read, “Joe Kahn lies Gaza dies.”
i'm from a red state and i say kill us all

If you’re in the summoning circle, stay in the summoning circle.
They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens
nobody has seen the president in three days [burping and rubbing my president shaped tummy] that’s crazy
prayers up, spirit warriors! if It doesn’t happen it’s because we didn’t devote enough of our Energies to It
Had 4 moves left for the year and I just happily burned one of them to do so.
Happy Labor Day weekend!
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
Nah. But you're less than worthless. You're a huge negative. Cause you give cover and permission to the dems to do nothing. The world would be much better if you had been one of the MANY loads your mother swallowed.
Lol I'm not one of 100 senators. I'm not leader of senate dems. But keep simping for pro genocide losers ya goof. Get fucked.
How about you stop being thrilled with worthless politicians doing the bare minimum, far too late. Demand more! All the time! Never stop doing so. Stop being a complacent little bitch
Well as should be perfectly clear from my previous post, supporting a genocidal regime should get him hanged (at the polls). Maybe he should be whole heartedly endorsing the democratic candidate for mayor of NYC? Also funding the government was a huge and obvious mistake.
Until then even just an optional payment method for those who want to help keep the lights on. Ill pay a couple bucks a month for nothing extra no problem.
Hes not wrong about the revenue. Bsky should roll out a premium edition with some qol fixes
I think we have to withhold prayers until God starts doing what we want. He’s a fiend for prayers and I think he’s just used to getting them. Cut off the supply and draw him out

This is an absolute slap in the face to every single serviceperson who has protected this country and the Constitution. Ashli Babbitt was a traitor who deserves no recognizance whatsoever. Every person involved in this decision deserves the same.
i would point to this interview if i was trying to explain how sometimes people who don’t think of themselves as journalists or reject the notion altogether can be the most effective interviewers newrepublic.com/post/199737/...
feels pretty disingenuous to say "i've always disagreed with his stance on vaccines" when he literally praised him for helping "defeat vaccine mandates" tho
It would be poetic justice if Trump didn’t even make it a year as President as his reward for the last few years. And if they’re talking this way about him, they must know what we all suspect… he’s going out like Stan Chera
This failed because a local jury decided not to indict. We tend to think juries should be blank slates, impartial and uninformed. But when the jury began it was trusted specifically because it was informed and partial. A medieval story time on the jury!
Yeah and they also make many amazing things while the west languishes. I take some solace america is killing itself by doubling down on its addiction to oil though.
Congrats to him on doing the bare minimum, and far too late at that. But as long as he supports or runs cover for a genocide he needs to hang..figuratively, of course...
This is a win for all of us
Yeah and america is free with no cronyism!
Yeah buildings ne er collapse or systems never flood in America. Great point
Have you considered canvassing on a Thursday? zohranfornyc.com/events
Adam Friedland’s Ritchie Torres interview really captures the phenomenon where at the end of the day, a lot of smartasses have way more moral clarity than the people who harumph about how immature they are
This is brutal
matty if you really believe in free speech you'd be willing to question who is the bigger threat to public restrooms
Millions of followers ≠ engagement. @theguardian.com has 1.4m followers on Threads with almost no engagement. On Bluesky, links can get 3–4x more clicks than likes. The real question isn’t “how many followers do you have?” but “what kind of engagement do you get?”
No, you're not ineligible for the vaccine. Let me introduce you to the concept of lying.
But I mean don't the vast majority support the genocide? And a significant plurality think it should be worse? Perversley hes deeply unpopular, but his commitment to the genocide is the one thing the population genuinely (and enthusiastically) support?
Which man is that? Isn't this gleefully supported by 70 percent or so of non Arab Israelis?
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
