DOGE was A LOT less likely to cancel contracts from companies that donated money to Republicans than companies that donated to Democrats.

I’m skeptical about that letter Epstein supposedly attempted to send to Larry Nasser, and I’m worried that if it turns out to be fake, it’ll be used to discredit + undermine otherwise credible evidence. Can we all pump the brakes on it until it’s verified by a handwriting expert?

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

Trump and his lackeys are risking our grid, putting Americans out of work, and raising energy bills as a result of a bizarre anti-energy vendetta. It’s lawless and reckless. To any company that doesn’t join the fight against this: you should realize you could be next.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

nothing condemns Our Times more than the fact we appear to have *mostly democratically* elevated to power some of the most stupid assholes who have ever lived.

something is wrong with a country and system that ferrets out its most undisputedly horrible citizens and then gives them nuclear codes

Yes, it’s a coverup by Pam Bondi. But it’s really a coverup by Donald Trump. Bondi is his agent.

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
 
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

As somebody who has probably, over the last 30 years, spent something over 20,000 hours analyzing jobs data, this is the single most gonzo employment graph I have ever seen in my life. The only thing that comes close is the employment data in March/April 2020.

Dear God, Jay Bhattacharya is just hopeless. He can't simply say getting polio is bad and is far worse than any side effects from the vaccine. He's is so far gone. It's tragic really. Too bad for all of us that he runs the National Institutes of Health.
We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...

Here's an idea: Rob Reiner's daughters should sue Trump for $20 billion dollars (evidently Trump's favorite number) for slander, defamation, inciting violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
