So basically his concern is that "the optics are bad" shortly before the midterms? Rather than... oh, I don't know, the fact that it is blatant, bold faced corruption?

I might as well write “A Burglar’s Guide to Breaking Into My Home While I am Out of Town This Weekend.” The very act of writing such a piece would reveal me to be either an undercover cop or a moron.

Jesus, the arrogance of this man to suggest that the establishment dems need to be placated by Mamdani, because they got their asses handed to them by the candidates he endorsed rather than thinking "perhaps there is a lesson here" 🤔

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

This is the most depressing fucking picture I have seen since they demolished the East wing, or put that asshols's name on the Kenedy Center (thank God they took that down)

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Inside Ken Paxton’s plea deal for a child sex abuse case
Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

Saw him on Durham. NC about 8 years ago. You are in for a treat. If we had not been going out of town the next day, we would have driven to Greensboro (about 1.5 hr) just to see him again the following night.

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

This is what struck me more than the applause at smartphones comment (TBH lots of folk against too much "screentime" for kids) But to say they are getting "warped". Which, in the context means "having compassion for Palestinian children undergoing ethnic cleansing and starvation" WTF
