Back on Twitter I was known as Ronaldo Trumpino.

I was known on Threads as John Locke’s Spirit.

Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I know it’s hard to focus on the positive when we are inundated with negativity on a daily basis. I know the story we tell children about the first thanksgiving is bogus. But in the spirit of what the holiday should represent, I am thankful for all of you.

Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case:

A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex.

*That* is how racist America is.

What’s more embarrassing? This or when Elon’s mom intervened in the Musk/Zuck Octagon match?
It's pretty humiliating to be the richest guy in the world and then sink millions into building a robot that hyperbolically tells the world how special you are.

I think the Messi/Ronaldo debate is over. Messi is the goat on and off the pitch.

BREAKING NEWS: The House has voted to release the Epstein files, but President Trump states they did not specify which Epstein files. He is therefore releasing all files related to Kevin Epstein, a man who was charged with shoplifting a VHS copy of Ghostbusters from a Cincinnati Blockbuster in 1994.

How does Texas losing to Georgia result in them gaining a spot on the CFP? #Rigged

Perfect comparison.
The comparison isn’t perfect but I kind of think Olivia Nuzzi is to journalism what Jake Paul is to boxing. Influencer culture usurping institutions and turning outrage and negative engagement into maximum clicks and therefore value, plus it flatters elite interests

Bovino is the kind of guy who gets power when people like Obama and Biden try to appeal to Republicans by “getting tough” on immigration, only to have the very weak leash taken off under someone like Trump. Lesson: stop trying to be and appeal to shitty republicans on this core stuff.

This was my initial thought. Glad others are saying it too.
Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

Trump is so guilty.
This Epstein thing has his malignant narcissism dialed up to 10.

What did the press know about Donald Trump's pedophilia and when did they know it?
November 14, 2025 at 5:54 PM
MAGA has been a sex assaulter sage haven since the beginning.
There are so many pedophilia and sexual assault stories within MAGA and the GOP that it's tough to keep track of all of them.

Mehdi is absolutely right. These people are weak feckless people who have zero fight in them. In their soul they when faced with fight or flight, they pick flight every damn time.
"[Chuck Schumer] shouldn't be minority leader, and he shouldn't be in the Senate to begin with."

In the latest Ask the Editor, @mehdirhasan.bsky.social calls out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for caving to Republicans on the government shutdown and discusses who could primary him.

According to reports Ossoff was an initial yes but flipped because he’s one of the few up for reelection in 2026.
If you believe it was just 8 senators I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. This was a Schumer operation.
