Serious question: Shouldn't the judge…also be expected to know this?

Top story tonight on: ABC World News Tonight: Trump tariff defeat NBC Nightly News: Trump tariff defeat PBS NewsHour: Trump tariff defeat CBC The National: Trump tariff defeat Sky News The Wrap: Trump tariff defeat CBS Evening News: Bomb cyclone might hit

can’t stop thinking about this quote

“He was like a 10-year-old, name calling, foot stomping, berating Supreme Court justices. He's like a baby,” says Sen. Chuck Schumer on Trump’s response to the Supreme Court striking down his sweeping tariffs.

Citing my reporting for @propublica.org - about how federal prisons are losing staff to ICE - House Dems are raising concerns about how that's impacing prisoners' lives and demanding BOP answer Q's as to what the agency is doing about it democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Stephanie Ruhle: “Are you worried that in the next few days, the President will launch some sort of major distraction that can be his lead for the State of the Union?” Schumer: “I'm worried what he might do in Iran.”

If you're going to donate to Eric Dane's GoFundMe, why not donate the same amount to a random person living with ALS's GoFundMe who doesn't have the publicity to get their financial amount hit quickly?

"Lots of big corporations have aggressively competed to be part of Trump’s corporation, in some ways that are not precisely illegal and in many that clearly are … as soon as there’s a functioning Justice Department back on the beat." — @joshtpm.bsky.social @talkingpointsmemo.com

As Trump rambles on about how “dead” the economy was, remember: 2024, under Biden: 1.45 million jobs 2025, under Trump: 181,000 jobs 2024, under Biden: 2.8% GDP growth 2025, under Trump: 2.2% GDP growth The question for the White House is simple: Why did things get worse after Trump returned?

I fear I will be getting a lot of mileage out of this one, folks I am cryingggggg lmao

NEW: When Biden was president, the Supreme Court eagerly embraced the "major questions doctrine" to rein in presidential power, but when it came to Trump's tariffs the theory only got three votes. What happened? 👇 www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

One of Canada's top indie "news" outlets is standing by the decision to platforming a dude who is so thirsty for mass deportations, even *Jason Kenney* called him racist. Now that dude's hateful group is ecstatic about this "huge development." Yikes!

Someone contacted me through my website saying I should be murdered by Hamas or kill myself with a gun for writing about Doctors Without Borders and more humanitarian groups were being kicked out of Gaza.

U.S. Congress. Y'all, please. I can't even count the number of times I have written to ask you to get on with your impeachment and removal proceedings. Your failure to grasp the urgency of this situation is the subject of horror and dismay to millions, quite possibly billions of people

This is precisely what we needed: a strong statement from CA AG Rob Bonta on all proposed Warner Bros. mergers, whether Netflix or Paramount. Because Paramount is trying to speedrun the merger process, this advance warning is, well, paramount. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

It’s time to talk about right-wing media. Because things aren’t just weird on Juno News, a platform that sat down with a mass deportation fan who even Jason Kenney called racist. There’s also a growing group of “influencers” that have Canadians scratching their heads. @lukelebrun.ca joins me:

“We were like, [Trump] is capriciously applying the law,” says Thomas Braziel, founder of investment firm 117 Partners, who says he purchased $925,000 worth of tariff refund claims with his own money. “That was the play.” www.wired.com/story/they-b...

It’s hard to watch this, the second hand embarrassment is real Like to the point that I would almost feel bad for her if she hadn’t just platformed a dude calling for the mass deportation of anyone he deems a “foreigner”

Has anyone noticed there's a psychopath running the country. What's up with that

Anyone recall seeing another politician do something similar? (I can't.)

NPR is usually pretty staid, this is an astonishingly blunt headline. www.npr.org/2026/02/21/g...

Hahaha I love my governor

There’s a lot we can learn from Alysa Liu. She challenges the idea that pursuing greatness requires constant self-pressure, self-analysis, & self-sacrifice. I struggle with this myself. Seeing her win gold by being present and joyful after taking a break was paradigm shifting.

These guys sound like they are AI

Here's an idea: Don't

Idk but “everything the president says or does has a he-makes-money-off-it angle” doesn’t seem like a good way to run a country

it was also interesting to me that this piece bent over backwards to say that it was totally understandable that disney demanded this of him and that that it really had no choice but to do so.

"The Court is corrupt. There’s no future for the America republic without thoroughly reforming it of its current corruption. Today’s decision is simply one of those cases where the Constitution happens to coincide with the Court’s partial and illegitimate self-interest." — @joshtpm.bsky.social

UNT officials said international graduate enrollment fell from about 6,200 students in fall 2024 to just under 3,400 in fall 2025. International students typically pay significantly higher tuition than Texas residents, making their enrollment decline especially costly for public universities.

I still think about this moment a lot: being offered a glimpse into the lives of immigrants — people who, according to the pastor, were actively seeking *asylum* in this country — as they tried to turn a room just above a church sanctuary into a home.

This would be very offensive to Trump if he could read

📋 Your #LUFC XI...

OHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYY WORRRRDDDDDD!!!! WHAT A STRIKE FROM ANTON!!!

Cuban man’s death at El Paso tent camp was result of “spontaneous use of force,” ICE says.

Take that, world. You have to deal with 15 percent tariffs for the next 150 days so that the president doesn't feel impotent

📰 A valuable point at Villa Park!

i don’t know anything. no one does. but i’d just remind people that trump seems to think it’s not a war-war unless US boots on the ground. i think - especially after someone took his tariff blankie - he would be thrilled to watch bombings on Fox News for weeks.

“The world will be saved when people realize we all have to pitch in.” - Pete Seeger

Today - a year after he was federally convicted of a felony for throwing a Black woman to the ground in a WinCo parking lot - former LASD deputy Trevor Kirk finally "separated" from the sheriff's dept, the agency just told me:

It's really pathetic that the right loves Grok because it's the only AI that will kind of support their narrative. Aren't these the guys who make fun of people for being "triggered." They made a safe space AI

Alysa Liu taught me it was ok to be a badass

Sometimes I just want to hit the “everyone be 10% less embarrassing” button on here

👊 #LUFC lead at the break!

Requiring a decdent's driver's license to process certain things when the sheriff seizes drivers licenses and sends them to the DMV in death investigations is absolutely DIABOLICAL bro

😅 Jayden is all of us right now!

Today was a good day for Art Vandelay

Abd what about the pint-sized sealion you see when you look in the mirror? The one who obnoxiously goes on about "lowering the temperature" in politics when what your constituents want is for you to DO something about fascism and the murderous ICEholes? That demands heat, not your fecklessness

This country provides limited support—of any kind, social, cultural, financial—for caregivers, who do incredibly important and valuable work.

Via Aleja Hertzler-McCain at @rns: Cardinal Dolan says Vance apologized for claiming bishops were pro-immigrant for the money

Having spent years insisting that I am not superstitious I have finally acknowledged that I am, in fact, very superstitious and I would like to thank last week me for acting on a premonition and turning a huge project in early because if I’d had to do that on top of everything this week…

Finally watching the Alex Honnold Taipei 101 free solo, and… it is supremely fucked up that they did this.

It's the freakin' weekend, baby, I'm about to listen to some podcasts and watch movies

If you like music from 1975, have I got a show from you: It’s Midnight Special’s annual million sellers episode. Helen! Glenn! Earth, Wind & Fire! ELO! LaBelle! Minnie! And of course, the Captain & Tennille! Track list in the thread youtu.be/hggIxqe4GpQ?...

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Gary Jules and Michael Andrews's cover of "Mad World" for the movie 'Donnie Darko.' See you around. youtu.be/etSbOs3aUqI?...

Also, while ABC had a full follow on Andrew/Epstein, and NBC did a 20-second update, CBS...completely ignored the story. But it fell for Trump's UFO distraction hook, line and sinker--including saying Obama "spilled classified information" but Trump will declassify www.youtube.com/watch?v=4off...

I quit regular cable news viewing on July 4, 2021—and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for my mental health. It’s not that there aren’t some shows worth watching or that there isn’t some good reporting. But overall? No bueno, at least for me.

sure it's barbaric, but this is a royal pedophile we're talking about. fetch me my bird gun

Received no reply to my application to be the guy who presses Little Steven’s bandanas, so I just splurged on a GA seat to see Springsteen in DC.

The wildest thing about it is that a fully egalitarian Labour Party committed to protecting trans rights, workers' rights, and immigrants' rights would begin overnight to improve its disastrous polling

YouTube’s algo doesn’t try to push any right wing slop on me (thank goodness) but because I spend a good amount of time consuming retro content, it is now suggesting atrocities like this. It’s criminal that anyone is making even a dime off such soullessness. youtu.be/Dj24PErtdKI?...

ok so how old is this guy and how much food has he eaten because

Wooohooo! Hope you enjoy!

That's as American as it gets -- the combination of mewling and rage. A nation of crybullies.

CTC posts an anniversary remembrance of Cherry Coke every year, I think-- and every year I love it because I'm transported back to three distinct eras in my life: high school, college, working in NYC.

Running away with a family of meerkats would fix me

i would be curious to know how many of the people on this site who think using X is unforgivable also use Facebook and/or Instagram; and if so how they would justify or rationalize their choices as obviously different/better than those made by people who choose to stay on X.

🔥 Warm ups underway!

I went through and tracked every time Vanity Fair broke big news about the artist formerly known as Prince Andrew over the last 40 years! It was a lot! www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

😊👍

Just look at how the WB packaged the premiere of Dawson’s Creek for viewers who had already made the choice to tune in to the show’s premiere: It was treated as an event. Now some streamers can’t even be bothered to cut previews for the next episode or recaps of the last one youtu.be/yL9BLGARqOk?...

Glad I read this, which is a reminder that traditional “informal” approaches to magazine publishing are deeply unjust in the modern era and should be revisited! open.substack.com/pub/nobadday...

The New School paid a settlement for switching to online in Spring 2020. I was offered part of the settlement (didn't take it) BECAUSE WE WERE A SCHOOL IN THE EPICENTER OF COVID WHEN WE SHUT DOWN.

Tubby's rampage isn't just against immigrants, black people, women, and liberals, but against modern life itself -- the comforts and safeguards we have all been taking for granted, he's stripping away. Because he's nuts.

⏳ Not long to go!

Couldn’t have put it better. And we’ve had (mostly women) athletes like Osaka in tennis pioneering the way in this regard, but it feels like there’s so something more powerful about Liu’s gold medal.

he’s not talking about america here when he says “the country” just fwiw/icymi. he means the country onto which he’s imposing tariffs. tbh he’s noting the incoherence of an imperial presidency - except for global markets. in that respect i don’t think he’s exactly wrong. it’s not especially logical

A wild thing about this particular moment is seeing right-wing figures like Carlson bring up theological criticisms of (some) religious claims about Israel that were long most commonly heard (in the U.S.) in *liberal* religious circles — but then *also* sprinkling in right-wing arguments as well.

Fascism is an international movement.

In which @goodyk.bsky.social watched Trump's press conference so I didn't have to. Great stuff (the column, not the temper tantrum by the toddler-in-chief) www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

If their true purpose were to break these institutions this is exactly how their 'leaders' would behave

I've long maintained that job application sites are generally some of the most dogshit, nonfunctional pieces of the internet because the people applying won't complain about it to the people who post the jobs because the applicants, uh, want a job. They genuinely never hear about how annoying it is.

Sky News and NBC News are both owned by Comcast. But compare the way this Sky story brutally and honestly describes Trump’s tariffs strategy and how SCOTUS responded… youtu.be/NhqSz0GKloo?...

Every one of the administration is a piece of garbage

David Foster Wallace would have been 63 today. @raxkingisdead.bsky.social's new response to his essay, 'Big Red Son,' is beautiful and I wish he were here to read it flaminghydra.com/issue-507/

Revisiting David Foster Wallace's 'Big Red Son' today, @raxkingisdead.bsky.social in @flaminghydra.com a smashing essay as you can imagine flaminghydra.com/issue-507/

Here in Nevada, corporations, media and state officials are all going with “oh, it’s too expensive” to explain massive declines. Vegas was too expensive (by historic standards) in 2023 and 2024, and overall inflation was worse. Tourism was booming then. It’s the immigration policy, stupid

A large part of my job is apologizing to people that I can't look into something because I'm already looking into too many things and the people pleaser in me needs to chill out because I feel awful everything I do it.

20’ A lively opening at Villa Park sees chances for both sides but neither are yet to grab the opening goal. DCL going the closest for #LUFC. 0-0

lmao cmon man. do we really have to insist on being this ignorant about methodological fallacies that are covered in every intro course?

the unenviable political position of having to pay back $200 billion but having already spent it on the worst shit imaginable, a situation critics say, "sucks"
