we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
Elon is definitely ratcheting up the anti-Hunter Biden takes on the feed today. Which is silly, bc Hunter’s the best thing that’s happened to this crap site in a long time
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.
Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
I get the agitation against Bednar. The system needs a revamp. But is there a better alternative? Don’t say Carle. NCAA success =/= NHL success. Plenty of similar postseason frustrations with the likes of Montgomery, Hakstol, Quinn, etc
Let MacKinnon and Makar rest Game 4. Force Nelson, Necas, Nichushkin, Toews, Landeskog, and Lehkonen to carry the load and maybe, I dunno, DO something
The Avs are the deepest team in the league. 100% Makar is a difference maker you cannot replace. But to say a series rides on one person is ridiculous. Avs beat themselves in both games. Even with Makar out, Avs should be able to win games with the depth they have.
"With no Cale [Makar], they might not have a chance."
The Hockey Central panel shares their immediate thoughts following Vegas' Game 2 win over Colorado
You can make the most obvious villain, the most on the nose monster, a clear and present example of the worst kind of human being who is just a collection of fatal character flaws, and the new right will identify with him and get angry when he dies a villain’s death
This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?
