for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

⚠️ Democrats in array: Schumer, Gillibrand, and Whitmer coalesce behind El-Sayed

Pretty sure when you win the election it's a big election night. Pretty sure when your party's leadership all endorses the loser, it means the leadership is out of touch with the electorate.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

When I first saw this headline, I assumed that this was just a bad opinion piece. But it turns out that this is straight news? Lol, come on, WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Paying down the debt”

If only it hadn’t been illegal. 😞

Bessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

Trump: "We control the strait totally" (Trump is currently trying to negotiate to open the strait because Iran controls it)

suspiciously green bananas is sadly one of the funniest things i’ve read in awhile

i would feel bad for the planner trying to figure out PM schedules for factories on the moon except i know they’re not paying anyone to do that because none of this is real

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Today in least shocking news ever. Of course Griffin was never leaving NYC. www.curbed.com/article/ken-...

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

1. Last week, we revealed that the New York Post published a fake cover story claiming "thousands" of 9/11 families were trying to ban Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero. Instead of admitting its error, the Post quietly edited the article, adding even less credible info.

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

Hilarious. Paul Graham tweeted an unmarked chart that supposedly represents one startup's revenue growth (with no y-axis, no indication of what startup does). Commenter adds a joke annotation. Musk takes that meaningless chart, minus the limited context, and claims its proof that AI is exploding.

He's a genius though.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Based on what I've seen happen to people I know in the last couple years, I'm pretty sure the next decade or so is going to require some very serious thought about how badly these things can fuck a person up.

Senior Republican congressional staffer on trying to recruit new policy experts: “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

Are Young Republicans Too Based to Work for Congress?

Party veterans are concerned that the pipeline of young Republican talent is veering off course — and into terminally online extremism.

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

U.S. Sees Iran as Likely Behind Cyberattack on Minnesota Water Systems (Gift Article)

Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary. There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.

This is not just about rewriting the past; it's also an effort to make any future effort to hold this administration responsible for its brazen criminality seem like more "weaponization of the justice system"

Trump says he wants people to be reimbursed for being the victim of weaponization by Obama

Must be Friday.
