Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

We need a new term for all the creepy goose-stepping billionaire oligarchs. So far, I’m leaning towards “bunker-dwellers.”

They may survive the revolution, but at least they’ll have to do so underground.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

What Trump was willing to ignore about Gaetz to reward loyalty is something to keep in mind when looking at the rest of his rogues gallery of a cabinet.

My most gracious theory on @fetterman.senate.gov is that his health scare made him shift priorities to hoarding wealth to take care of his family if something happens to him.
He knew a hard turn to the right would be rewarded by more immediate earning potential.

Why does it feel like Bluesky posters keep 9-5, M-F business hours? This place is at its most boring when I am most bored.

I haven’t seen much conversation about it, but I have more issues with bots on Bluesky than I ever have on Twitter or Threads.

I guess people might not care because it artificially inflates follow counts, but they’re poppin’ off out here.

GOP extremists want House Democrats to raise the debt ceiling so that House Republicans can lower the amount of your Social Security check.

Hard pass.

Damn, good thing he lost that election. I’d hate to see a federal government run by unelected creeps with no accountability and nefarious motives.
To manage Biden’s limitations, White House aides controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. The administration denied Biden has declined.

Anyone ever think about how Donald Trump, the world’s most self-obsessed man, doesn’t really talk about the time he got shot?

I’m not even trying to be conspiratorial. I just can’t believe he talks more about Hannibal Lecter than the one thing that could garner him the most sympathy.

Honestly, what’s the message they want to send with this besides, “We’re proud of this young man for getting away with manslaughter”?

I really would be interested to hear explanations, because it simply doesn’t compute for me beyond the dogwhistle.

Firstly: Trump is full of shit.

Secondly (because this is a passion of mine): So many people confuse DST with standard time. Standard time is now (the seasonal depression one).
DST is being able to enjoy the sun after work hours.

Days get shorter naturally, and we shorten them artificially. 🧵

I’m a NewsMax reporter doing a story on Woke, and I’m looking for sources who have been told they can’t wish people a Merry Christmas.

Please, for the love of the infant Christ, please let me know if you can find one. I’m having no luck, and I don’t want to lose my job right before the holidays.
