Overheard: “just learned about recency bias and its my favorite thing ever”

Pete Hegseth, our new Secretary of Defense, appeared on a podcast last year endorsing dangerous fanatical views including “sphere sovereignty,” which advocates subordinating “civil government” to Old Testament law and the death penalty for homosexuality and other so-called violations.

Hegseth is as nutty and dangerous as a cyanide fruitcake, and he’s also a drunk and now he’s running the largest armed forces in the world. I’m sure this will be fine.

Instead of defending American consumers and small businesses, Trump and his allies are going after the imaginary threats of “wokeness” and DEI.

Trump will prosecute predatory businesses, but only those who oppose him. Businesses that support Trump will be free to lie, cheat and steal.

Cory Doctorow has more.

Washington Democrats feel like they need to be less antagonistic to Trump this time around, lest they appear “shrill” and “cringe.”

Are you fucking kidding me?

Democats say they need a better messaging strategy. They think they should have more moments like a viral video during the pandemic of Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) making a tuna melt.

Are you fucking kidding me? Tuna melt?

Washington Democrats don’t need a messaging strategy. They need spines.
