Reporter: Do you still think that President Zelensky is a dictator?
Trump: “Did I say that? I can't believe I said that"

You voted for a corrupt sexual predator who assaulted multiple women and even admitted it on tape. What did you think would happen?

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

From the creators of the hit podcast “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill” comes a new show, “Devil and the Deep Blue Sea,” an exploration of the Satanic Panic that gripped America in the 1980s and ’90s.

Disturbing, but not surprising.
"Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, in an affidavit given to senators on Tuesday, alleged that the Pentagon chief pick caused his second wife to fear for her safety... Hegseth also stated that women should not have the right to vote or work, according to the affidavit."
Senate learns of new allegations against Hegseth
The Defense secretary nominee's former sister-in-law, in an affidavit, said she witnessed his drunken aggression and that his second wife worried about her safety.

Understanding their theology is crucial for grasping how Hegseth will govern. Their theological commitments are fundamentally at odds with basic democratic principles, such as the value of every voter. Shoutout to @sonsofpatriarchy.bsky.social for breaking down Wilson's Xtian Nationalism in depth.

Hegseth is in the CREC, therefore disciple of Doug Wilson (cult leader of Christian patriarchy.) Their hyperCalvinism is on full display here, undoing core ideas of basic human rights. If God hates the unsaved (AKA anyone who disagrees with them), killing liberals is the righteous judgment of God.

Do I wanna be warm? Of course. Do I want my house to be warm? Absolutely not. I want my house to be just cold enough that I can smother myself in blankets *thereby becoming* warm. Please respect my process.

Yes. Being moderate doesn't necessarily mean being exactly halfway between two extremes.
This is also how many people think about the Anabaptist "third way." Nope.

Excellent piece. A key component of a conspiracy theory, rather than a regular theory, is that it is non-falsifiable. For any theory that we hold, we should be able to answer the question, "What evidence would prove this theory wrong?" If the answer is "none", then it is probably a conspiracy.

🚨 Special Alert for Federal Workers 🧵
It’s time to prepare for a federal government shutdown, which may begin this weekend.
While you’ll probably be back to work soon, it’s best to treat a shutdown like a lay-off. Assume that Friday will be your last day of work, possibly for several weeks. 1/7
