I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
1/3 I reached my emotional threshold today with Balance and the conditions Hegseth has put on trans soldiers to attend their own hearing. It’s all too much. The cruelty and abject evil. The corruption. The destruction of our strategic assets like scientific and medical research and alliances…
This is ridiculously scary. Yes, we are currently talking about ballrooms and reflecting pools and inflation and Iran and Venezuela and Epstein and crypto grift and the moral rot of the GOP. But all that is going to be forgotten soon. Shit is about to get real, as they say.
Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 3d agoI'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
airbnb I’m staying at unintentionally created the toughest punk album cover of 2027
The stereotyping in this video is worth the 60 seconds
Celeste Ng@pronounced-ing.bsky.social · 4d agoI think about this guy a lot, and how sometimes the most useful thing you can do is refuse to have conversations that are in bad faith or are otherwise flawed in their premise. m.youtube.com/shorts/g7kym...
This interview perfectly highlights why it is beyond terrifying that RFK jr heads the HHS. His beliefs founded in conspiratorial nonsense and his absolute unwillingness to hear anything that contradicts those. All of it on display plus the lab leak theory as truth thrown into the bargain.
James Fallows@jfallows.bsky.social · 4d agoWell done by Dana Bash. -RFK Jr: You don't understand this. You're not a scientist. -Bash: Neither are you. Reminder of why it's a race among this guy, Hegseth, S Miller, R Vought, Lutnick, Bondi->Blanche, Noem->Markwain, Tulsi->Pulte, etc for WORST and most destructive mini-Trump.
Friendly edit: expansion is only part of the solution. Taking back the power they have stolen from Congress - and keeping it there - while limiting their ability to act as a super legislative branch are critical
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 5d agoKamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.
But they did imagine someone like Trump and it scared the shit out of them.
April Wolfe@aprilwolfe.bsky.social · 5d agoThese long, ego-stroking meetings are beginning to look more like memory care. At some point they're going to end by playing YMCA and talking about the hottest clubs in New York circa 1982.
This is a massive scandal. Not "should be," but "is."
Ways and Means Committee Democrats@waysmeanscmte.bsky.social · 6d agoEvery day, this Administration unlocks new levels of corruption never thought possible. At a time when families are struggling to stay afloat, they’re being denied jobs and opportunities by their president because of their political views.
So, breaking your daughter’s collar bone, scalding your wife, beating her, and holding a gun to her head is a family matter (a family he prays for through these tough times!). But Platner had a Nazi tattoo, criticized Israel, was antisemitic ergo…? Where does he think he’s even going with this?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoHoly shit! Jim Jordan is reduced to stammering when Kasie Hunt presses him on why he continues to support Max Miller despite credible allegations that he abused his ex-wife and toddler daughter
This is Fenrir. He has not yet been successful in cuddling with the cat. But thinks if he goes slow enough she might not notice. 13/10 (IG: fenrirfanclub)

He isn’t actually barred running. If Republicans want to have him as their nominee, have at it. Beyond that he would have to be excluded on the national ballot because he can’t legally take office if he won. If Republicans want to screw themselves like that, I say be my guest.
DemCast USA@demcast.com · last wk.It’s wild that basic constitutional knowledge isn’t required to be a federal judge. Judicial nominee John Marck couldn't even say if a president can serve a 3rd term under the 22nd Amendment—saying he'd need to "review" it. The Constitution is clear: the answer is NO.
God I wish next time this smug temu Himmler meets with the press in his “I’m a complete douchebag” sunglasses, some reporter repeats his words to him and relays this story.
Matt Ortega@mattortega.com · last wk.Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Pretty sure Detroit let the Japanese automakers hand them their ass and it had nothing to do with trade.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump on Reagan: "He allowed our cars to disappear into Japan and other locations ... on trade, Trump is much better. Much better."
Jesus Christ this guy’s on a bender. The EU fined these companies for no reason. Just decided they needed some money and so hit them up. And how do these fines impact American taxpayers? Guy is just looking for any excuse to apply his mercantilist worldview
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2w agoTariff wars are back on the Republican menu just in time for the midterms.
This is Finn. He likes to ominously stand on his hind legs in the water. We've asked him to stop but he won't. Still 13/10 (TT: firstmatefinn)
She’s so good. While they have very different styles, she and Ossoff are probably the most effective communicators in the party (I could be persuaded to put Murphy in that group). Her laughing at the question and then highlighting minimum wage to point out its ridiculousness is priceless.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2w agoReporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here
The best way to honor the dead is to continue to undertake actions that result in more soldiers getting killed and which do absolutely nothing to get us to our strategic objective.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoRep. Carlos Gimenez: "My heart goes out to the families of those four, but ... "
This is a really good analysis of the situation
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is really something. Republicans privately fear Trump is now trapped in a "quagmire" in Iran that is set to screw them badly in the midterms, per Politico. They did this to themselves by giving this madman a blank check for the war. We detail it all on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2133...
This is Zebby. He refuses to go on a walk unless both of his parents join. Ohana means family, and family means everybody gets their steps in. 13/10 (TT: zebbythegolden)
It’s humiliating to have a president that is this fucking stupid.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump on Canada: "They're not managing their forests properly, and the wind has a tendency to blow right over New York City and Detroit. It's very serious."
