Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

"The ‘moderates’ got *their* candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Trump: 2016 Clinton, 2020 Biden, 2024 Harris… and they lost to Trump two out of three times. And now they’re going to blame *the left* for that? No f*cking way."

My rant:

An Uber/Doordash type service, except they show up and fold all your laundry after it’s dry

Boy are Republicans struggling right now. They're finding out that tariffs are actually taxes, Obamacare is actually the ACA, and that Project 2025 was actually the plan all along.

And just like that, they no longer care how much your groceries cost.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man.

This is good, unless they inevitably find someone worse.

We just avoided the Gaetz of hell.

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

disney exec: it’s about a guy who thinks he’s a monkey lol. probably don’t need anything too crazy for the soundtrack.

phil collins: [eyes glowing white, levitating above the ground] no

the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

Weird how black women with Harvard degrees and twenty years of experience are called "DEI hires," but some random dude on Fox News is expertly qualified to run the Department of Whatever.

Surely I misheard. There’s no way Dr. Oz, the OG grifter, president of grift university, has been tapped to lead the largest and most influential US healthcare entity.

America, before and after vaccines
