I just threw up in my mouth a little
these guys all intend to be retired by the time the check comes due, the costs (cultural and financial) will all be thrown in the lap of the Democratic party as per tradition
though I'm sure Politico points that out
Fuck Trump
And all who support him
TIME asked Trump if Americans should be concerned about attacks at home. "I guess," the president said.
The DEA opened an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and a dozen other individuals in 2015 that centered on allegations of money laundering, drug trafficking, and the procurement of Eastern European prostitutes for high-profile clients.
SOCIAL STORM! February's jobs report is abysmal. Trump is tanking our economy and it's time to get LOUD! #TrumpsJobsSlump
This appalling White House video game imagery on Iran illustrates what @teotten1.bsky.social and I discuss on today's pod: The role of fantasy, unreality and sadism-as-entertainment in MAGA politics.

NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.
Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce.

Pretty sure when they started imposing this idiocy they assured a bunch of judges that they would be able to refund the money with no problem if it ever came to that.
tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety.
venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.
child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
Putin = War Criminal
Netanyahu = War Criminal
Trump = War Criminal
The economic story just changed dramatically.
Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.
Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.
Recession questions are back on the menu
I charged my EV last night (from 20 percent to 100 percent) and it cost me about $17.
Beyond the no gas, the car just rides so beautifully. Got it in July and cannot imagine ever going back to gas car.
1 week
Ok maybe 3 weeks
Wait, 5ish weeks seems right
Probably until September
INDEFINITELY!
netanyahu has been waiting decades for a president as dumb and as compromised as trump to kick this war off
Why I'm not so excited about Noem's ouster ⤵️
Like clockwork.
Not a great Friday for TACO. I’m pretty sure the Iranians are disinclined to surrounding, unconditionally or otherwise
even key Democrats helped prop up the con, as this "random Karl" explains here:
Kristi Noem gave her political operative a no-bid contract worth $143,000,000 of taxpayer money to make Fox News ads starring her at Mt. Rushmore. We will be following this story on a daily basis if it turns out that Hunter Biden was involved.
I cannot recommend this 🧵 enough
For someone who became famous on TV for firing people in person, Donald is such a coward about firing people in real life. He fired Kristi Noem in a tweet *while* she was giving a televised address.
I want to know if Barney Google wants him impeached!
Screenshot from the article linked in the post reading as follows: The FBI’s search of the family home turned up nothing to substantiate those allegations. What they did find, however, was Hemani’s gun. Hemani also admitted to the agents he had roughly two ounces of weed in the house, and consumes marijuana “about every other day.” This is unremarkable: Millions of Americans own a gun, and millions of Americans use marijuana. But technically, the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it illegal for any person “who is an unlawful user of or addicted to” certain controlled substances, including marijuana, to possess a gun. So in February 2023, federal prosecutors charged Hemani with a felony, and held him in pre-trial detention for seven months.
Much about the 'would the Framers be ok with gun rights for weed smokers' case is v funny but there is a serious part that hasn't gotten much attention
The govt targeted this Muslim family, hit dude w/ these goofy charges, & detained him for months before trial

This simply doesn't seem all that far-fetched and needs to be investigated.
