‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.
‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.
But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats.
He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”

Dear journalists:
The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.
Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

I’m still in disbelief that so many MAGAs are scared of everything and everybody. It’s sad how Trump too a whole group of people and made them afraid, all while convincing them it was actually “alpha”

Must have provided an honest, reliable intelligence analysis. Getting fired by this administration is a badge of honor, tbh.

Hegseth reportedly fires the DIA chief, pushing Pentagon purge to a ridiculous new level
The Defense Intelligence Agency told the White House what it didn't want to hear. Soon after, Pete Hegseth reportedly fired the head of the DIA.

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here.
The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

Why is the FBI patrolling DC instead of releasing the Epstein files? Just another distraction…

I was one of the columnists who left the Post after owner Jeff Bezos demanded the Opinion section largely focus on “personal liberties and free markets." Yes, they’re under pressure. But maybe these leaders kinda like what Trump’s doing.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Science is effectively dead in the US for at least the next 3½ years, and will then take another several years to even get started again. Canceled research doesn’t just uncancel itself, and scientists who find opportunity elsewhere won’t just come flocking back.
The damage is generational.

All scientific grant funding must now be approved by a political appointee and "demonstrably advance the President's policy priorities."
I wonder where innovation will happen in the future? It won't be in the US

New executive order puts all grants under political control
All new funding on hold until Trump administration can cancel any previously funded grants.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.
When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.
For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.
