The men in the White House press pool are fucking cowards. What kinda man let's someone speak to a woman the way the president does? He's a fucking human being who deserves to be checked.

Let's be very clear, nobody is telling anybody to do anything, they're just simply pointing to the rulebook that we all agreed to. It's like... you can't run the ball up and down the basketball court without dribbling, LINDS, now imagine how IDIOTIC this would look coming from any basketball player.
Lindsey Graham: "I don't think I've ever been on a show more unnerving than tonight. You've got US senators and members of the House suggesting to our men and women in the military that they should be disobeying unlawful orders issued by President Trump and his military."

The Boomers dipshit greed + the Tech Nerds subhuman inferiority complex lead to this bullshit. They've pulled us away from each other in our real world, making us feel singular and alone, and into the digital space. Then they paywalled us from each other so they could make more money off it.

Very curious about/bracing for the reaction from the GOP. It’s been poisoned with collective narcissism. This is, from a micro to a macro, the voters setting a very firm boundary, and narcissists typically have incredibly volatile reactions to those. Stay strong. Enjoy the night. Keep fighting.

Please @jamesgunn.bsky.social stop making me sob with #Peacemaker this is a rollercoaster of emotions. What a beautiful little miracle it is that this show exists.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

You know, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is many, many things. But it is neither boring, nor uncommitted. Much like Schumacher’s Batman’s Forever and & Robin, they are dedicated to being exactly what they are.

Listen all I'm saying is if you give me a stripped down sub-$30 million budgeted, bare-bones Mission Impossible spinoff starring Shea Whigham and whoever is on his team, I will absolutely be there.

Andor has taken this one prequel line and managed to weave a timeless yet frighteningly relevant web of compelling characters, tense encounters, political espionage, and kick-ass Star Wars action & world building. It's not just the best SW since the originals, it's some of the best TV ever, period.

It says a lot that my #Bluesky feed is so full of NFL Draft conversation. It feels really cool!
per Schefty:

Jags get pick 2, plus a 4th and a 6th.

Browns get 5, 36, 126 and the Jags 2026 1st

financial advice in a weird time:

-- develop a plan
-- find friends who support you
-- preferably 10 of them
-- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand
-- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos
-- get your wife back
-- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw

simple

Bessent: I would advise none of the countries to panic. I wouldn't try to retaliate because as long as you don't retaliate, this is the high end of the number.

Nothing's gonna get better until more people start hurting.

That's not a desire, that's a rational understanding of how these political, economical, and societal situations have resolved themselves, historically.
OMG. I was wondering that as the tariff numbers made no sense, but this is even dumber than I thought. I mean, this is "fail your econ 101 class and have to go meet with the professor" bad.
james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country

"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Mack Schroeder, the HHS employee he taunted on that video, apparently held the "woke job" of ... budget analyst.
Sen. Jim Banks on the job held by a fired federal worker he mocked: "It was a woke job."

Then in the next breath Banks admits he doesn't know what his job actually was.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.
