The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.

Yes! I never buy Goya products anymore.
Nobody asked you for advice, Nate. We all already know what side your benefactor, Peter Thiel, is on. 🙄
The face of fascism.
This morning (9/1) at 8 AM feds pulled over a couple at 18th & Park NW. They smashed the window, dragged the husband out & arrested him. When a community member stopped to record they were grabbed & threatened w/ pepper spray by this piece of shit. @mayorbowser.bsky.social do you welcome this too?
Just the kind of circular, results-driven, nonsensical argument that the current 6-3 SCOTUS will eat up with a spoon. 2/2
The NY Times seems to be laying the groundwork here for an argument that “yes, this may not be ‘explicitly’ enumerated as a presidential power in the Constitution, but it’s obviously part of the powers of the president.” 1/2

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
Has Vice President Chubby Cheeks ever expressed gratitude to Amy “Tiger Mom” Chua for talking him into writing that crappy book, the only reason he’s not a sub-mediocre lawyer toiling in obscurity?
That needs to be on a hat!
wake up babe a new slur just dropped
I love this journey for Jack Daniels Whiskey.
I am inspired by TT’s strength, focus, and extraordinary courage. I am totally in awe! I am so glad you shared that press conference.
How lovely that he was so decisively defeated in his attempt to become DC Bar President (He got 3,490 votes to the winner’s 34,982.) I’ve been voting in DC Bar elections for over 30 years and I was never so pleased to submit my ballot as I was this year.
Brava, Taylor Townsend! ♥️
Have you listened to Taylor's press conference after the match? She was asked if the attack was racist and her answer was remarkable--nothing boilerplate, deep and personal. Starts at 13:00 www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGet...

Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

"CRITICS See Big Risks"?! WTF? There aren't 2 sides to this story. Trump destroys CDC, EPA, FEMA -- agencies that protect American health and well being. You don't need a Trump "critic" to tell you that. Would it be "Hitler Rises to Power; Critics See Big Risks"?! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...
Hey Yale Law, come pick up your boy, he’s spouting fascism.
I know Democrats are overwhelmed (or rudderless, if you are less charitable) by the sheer volume of Trump authoritarian moves, but I’d like to see them unified behind specific goals like “RFK Jr is a threat to public health and needs to go.”
Ruin a book by adding Tom Clancy’s to the title The Year of Tom Clancy’s Magical Thinking
You lost this DC voter.
“Mr. Guiducci said he wanted to bring “a sense of mischief” to the job.” and a big dash of obsequiousness of course
"It is without a doubt the most illegal search I've ever seen in my life," U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said from the bench. "I'm absolutely flabbergasted at what has happened. A high school student would know this was an illegal search." unreal quote 😭
"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...
'dark money' always sounds like like a handful of cash hastily stuffed in a potato chip bag or something
Is this you, @thehill.com?
cant get carjacked by a criminal if youve already been carjacked by a cop
The chaos he sows is boosting their bottom line. Money is all the media’s corporate overlords care about.

Hey #Yale Law, come pick up your boy, he’s drunk.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
Yale Law must be so very proud of its alumnus.
Because policing speech is the only way all those perpetually aggrieved, privileged cis-het white guys can feel ballsy.
He’s the guy to do it!
Yet more proof that if you are racist and/or xenophobic you are dumber than a box of hair.
Betting that ridiculous hat was not made in America.
Again, okay, but for sure he’s going to ignore answers directed to me, as will everyone else, because it just sounds like you have a beef only with me.
the newspaper that invented Whitewater, a fake-scandal about the Clintons *losing* 50 grand on a decade-old real estate deal, now calls *a campaign advisor trying to bribe reporters* a "bold departure from political norms"
Why don’t you tell Gourevitch that directly, instead of me?
I feel like I sent out the bat-signal bsky.app/profile/erik...
Dude gives off such a weirdly anti-Jesus vibe for a guy who claims to be a Catholic. What would Jesus do? Not sound like this arrogant, soulless opportunist.
Okay.
Right. I know. I suggest you read what the original poster said again.
Yale Law must be so very proud of its alumnus.
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
“All the fascism that’s fit to fluff.”
Sounds like the NYT just cut out the AI middleman and used the ol’ lazy writer’s no-credit cut and paste. Is that what they’re teaching in J school now? 😬
preach the Truth to the face of Falsehood
We are free. We do not have to show papers to exist in this country!!!!!!
Senile Mayonnaise Sculpture is just jealous he missed out on the human chattel game and had to settle for sex trafficking kids
Well, he may have ruined his physical and mental health, but at least he did something really beneficial for society like “helped companies grow on TikTok and Instagram Reels.”

I will follow you anywhere, Darth.
All he does is lie. And take vacations.
From the Washington, DC Chapter of the ACLU if laws still apply:
Why isn’t she wearing the Trump Lying Ladies Cross? I thought it was a mandatory part of the uniform.
What the hell is this? There is NO REQUIREMENT THAT YOU MUST SHOW AN ID TO EXIT THE METRO.
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear backpacks! Some push strollers! 🇺🇸 #DC #ColumbiaHeights #ICE #MilitaryOccupation
Not all heroes wear capes, some wear backpacks! 🇺🇸 #DC #ColumbiaHeights #ICE #MilitaryOccupation
The 20% is mostly just Stephen Miller, Big Balls, and the Post’s editorial board
Jeff’s seances draw big crowds!
i think this bears repeating whenever Meta and AI are reported on tbh
Who’s going to tell Lying Lady that no matter how many crosses she wears, she’s got an irrevocable reservation for a banquette seat in The Bad Place, right next to her odoriferous boss?
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
Bingo! Exactly this! The nepo baby publisher of the Times made his disdain for Biden, and then Harris, very clear.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
Concur!
Last week, ICE arrested a six-year-old Queens public school student at her family's scheduled check-in. This morning, she was deported along with her mother. One of her siblings remains in detention. The cruelty of this federal administration knows no bounds.
The New York Times does fascism fluffing, not journalism.
Tell me again how this administration is punishing schools for not stopping antisemitism... all while they seem to keep hiring out and out neo-Nazis.
Here’s some prime, choice research for your next project — @jaketapper.bsky.social — the definitive multivolume treatise on President Rice Pudding For Brains.
The NY Times never ceases to disappoint now. Each day there is a new low.
M(is)S (fire) NOW, corporate style.
Why are they such are idiots, Darth? Does being in the corporate world kill all your brain cells? Nevermind, I just answered my own question.
Dude, please just say it — it’s all about fascism and racism — it has nothing to do with making DC safe.
Here’s a big steaming pile of that #waste, #fraud, and #abuse that the incels at #DOGE — led by the supremely incompetent #nepobaby ketamine addict — were claiming to be looking for.
ICE GOONS in South Norwalk, Connecticut, brutally kidnapped Ricardo Chavez and his brothers. Notably, the goons never presented a warrant, and all the arrested individuals possess legal status to reside and work within the United States.
And of course, Bobby's been fighting the good fight for a long time... www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/robe...
Obligatory... youtu.be/ZlxMH_5SCRI?...
The NYTimes has abandoned any pretense of practicing journalism. All it does now is fascism fluffing.
Mass protests in DC unreported in major corporate media, which are filled with articles glorifying the heroic conduct of Trump's secret police. This demonstrates the Gleichschaltung of journalism in America.
Because it was always about the racism, xenophobia, and misogyny. The food price thing was just a fig leaf for their hate.
Completely unsurprising. The former governor has always been — and remains — nothing but an opportunist.
Absolutely disgusting that this oppressive tyrant who uses force against his own citizens and expresses the desire to annex sovereign nations is standing on American soil. Oh, and it’s disgusting that Putin is there too.
The strong vibe I’m getting from your fascism fluffing posing as journalism is that the “White House official granted anonymity to speak candidly” was either John Barron or David Dennison.
The want to kill people.
blithely lying knowing there are zero consequences for lying is a hallmark of this administration
He’s a Manhattan Institute shill, who’s made writing about how “unsafe” he thinks DC is something of a specialty. And the “pretentious twit” thing is right on the money, because that’s a job requirement for all “conservative” (read cool with fascism) think tankers.
Here’s some very useful material for your next book @jaketapper.bsky.social.
I’m sure Mark Burnett, soulless producer of The Apprentice — oops, I mean “Special Envoy to the United Kingdom” — has plenty of footage of him doing that very thing.
This, exactly.
bragging about being a giant pussy is integral to the conservative mindset
He’s the real Big Balls. Accept no substitutes.
call him racist for these attacks it isn’t “controversial” or “divisive” it is fuckin racist
