Controversy! That ball was on track to be a dinger. The rule would be it is in play and it was caught so it is an out.

There's no comedy that could top that train wreck. Like trying to paint a better version of a great piece of artwork from scratch.

Back in the day when filling out paperwork, there would be the top sheet and it would duplicate the form onto a carbon copy underneath it.

Killed. NSF’s SBE was killed, in violation of law. The President does not have the power to choose to kill programs at a whim by defunding them. The imperial presidency was a mistake and we are in a separation of powers constitutional crisis.

The press: Sorry, that's *Democratic* presidents should be coherent. Republican presidents are *expected* to be incoherent.

Why do lawmakers just stand around in befuddlement every time the president illegally rescinds congressionally-appropriated funds or illegally spends those funds on other programs without legislation?

Even "Black Mirror" is like, "That's bleak."

I did not realize the origin story of "Rust" was so stupid.

True but it remains true Hitler was never elected to anything. He was appointed in an effort to placate him and then seized power.

As Robert Jackson put it in his opening statement: "We would also make clear that we have no purpose to incriminate the whole German people. We know that the Nazi Party was not put in power by a majority of the German vote. We know it came to power by an evil alliance..."

Again, <only Republicans> ever get to talk like this. If a single municipal level Democrat ever did, it would be a national outrage &spark a wave of “civility” discourse, & op-eds about how Dems must Respect Real Folkz & talk across difference. Democracy is incompatible with this double standard.

Trump is notorious for not paying contractors who worked on real estate projects for him. He's lying to you. You aren't getting shit. Just as you haven't received all the other promised checks.

I don’t think the ad is especially helpful to Paxton (hey, the wife I cheated on says if she can vote for a scumbag, you can, too). But it’s more than fair to investigate whether her support for him is a chit in their divorce settlement negotiations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

Zero self-awareness from Rove on his role in ushering this along.

The mere sight of a Black pilot is, in the minds of the "color-blind meritocracy" crowd, confirmation they are not qualified to fly the plane and some white guy pilot lost out on the job as a result.

The language is designed to *sound* reasonable but the purpose is to define "color-blind meritocracy" as white people, particularly white men are the ~real~ contributors, should dictate on their whims, and any infringement is a violation against the natural order.

Got another anti-trans campaign ad just now and man just fucking leave the trans folks alone already. Fuck’s sake.

People like @jonathanbchait.bsky.social either can't see or refuse to see that "color-blind meritocracy" is a Trojan horse for white supremacy.

It is their belief that anything good to do with the United States is the product of white hands only and everybody else are leeches. Jesus Christ, I am tired of this shit.
