1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.
Jay Bhattacharya likes to claim that he was so disturbed that his idiotic ideas were “censored” that HE and only HE will promote open discussion of scientific ideas.
In science, we do that through peer-reviewed studies. But he is now blocking the publication of studies that show he’s wrong.
Aaron and @niedermeyer.online know more than just about anyone the damage this did. Elon was able to get regulators demoted/fired (a preview of what is happening now) then use his ill gotten riches to get Trump re-elected. Pete needed just a speck of backbone to do something. He didn't.
saying this half-jokingly, but if the rest of the nation had the same levels of news exposure as a lot of us on here, most of them would go insane within a week
the parallels between trump re covid and trump re the strait of hormuz are getting so intense they’re almost blinding. in both cases he’s confronted by a problem he cannot simply bullshit his way thru - an opponent with agency, one that requires an actual strategy - and he’s utterly lost.
Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand.
A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)
If—and right now it’s a big if—things do eventually work out, watch how quickly people forget how close we got to complete democratic collapse. They’ll say we overreacted. They’ll forget those who suffered and died. They’ll move on. But the victory will be worth it anyway. Keep fighting.
Hey did everyone see Clavicular get his ass beat after he challenged a cancer survivor leftist to a jujitsu match, who said as he was choking him out ‘this is for all the bullshit I gotta watch on my fucking feed’… we need more of this not more podcasts
A federal judge has denied Trump's executive order to end federal funding for PBS and NPR, calling it unlawful:
"It is difficult to conceive of clearer evidence that a government action is targeted at viewpoints that the President does not like and seeks to squelch."
Lots of bullshit here, but if you want to believe this is true you have to first believe that RFK Jr. knows what a perfect map of the Middle East looks like.
DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses!
According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)
