I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.

i think national dems should pay careful attention to the mayor of new york's willingness to think creatively and act swiftly to make big changes using the full scope of executive authority he has unique power to wield, and i think it's the kind of thing people are looking for in a president

this iran humiliation is revealing so much about the US. you can actually see how military coups happen, why there's a 25th amendment, why wars should ever be wages at the whim of one guy (especially a world-class idiot). the rot and the sclerosis are now apparent to anyone who wants to look

Is there a statute of limitations on the emoluments clause? It’s clear that he won’t face repercussions for this with the current SCOTUS and Congress, but he has to eventually face consequences for this…right?

He’s a very sound guy, but $150,000 is about 2 days of pay for him. It’s still great that he did it.

Basically, Alito is going to retire. Someone jumped the gun, but he's going to give Trump his 4th Supreme Court Justice before the midterms. If this doesn't make the case for Supreme Court expansion, then you might be a masochist who enjoys suffering.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

The entire campaign for Spencer Pratt in California is not difficult. He's an MTV reality TV star who knows the game, and he's backed by this: 👇🏼 MTV network is owned by the Ellison family. You know, CBS, Paramount. If you vote for him, you're voting for fascism.

Who besides Platner has a shot at beating Collins in Maine right now? This is a sincere question, and ideally, I hope Mainers respond. Because if he sinks, and he might, then it seems like Maine will stick with Collins, and there goes the Senate. But let me know.

My 14yo son and I have really bonded over music. This summer, I took him to his first concert -- Black Keys at the Stone Pony -- and he had a blast. He just unwrapped his big present for Christmas, tickets for us to go see his favorite band AC/DC in concert, and just immediately burst into tears.
