I am begging someone to invent a clock that tells cats the time

*youth pastor voice* Let me tell you kids about another carpenter who wasn’t very popular with the authorities

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking. "It's bad," Smith says. Read here: newrepublic.com/article/2039...

Breakfast costs HOW much??? Grocery bills tell the truth Trump won’t: he promised lower prices, but costs keep climbing. Biden knew—EVERYONE knows—broad-based tariffs and economic uncertainty are pocketbook poison, but Trump does what he wants, and families pay the price.

Nor could that boat, before it was bombed, reach the United States. That’s important because it refutes the laughable claim of “imminence” necessary to wrap the strikes under the auspices of a lawful armed conflict.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Any service member who acted with such disregard for our national security would be dismissed. Our nation’s highest ranking defense official should not be held to a lower standard than the men and women he oversees. For the good of our nation, I once again call on Secretary Hegseth to resign.

A review article concluding the weed killer Roundup--aka glyphosate--“does not pose a health risk to humans” has been retracted 8 years after documents released in a court case revealed employees of Monsanto, the company that developed it, wrote the article but were not named as coauthors.

The New York Times is suing the Pentagon, arguing that restricting the right to solicit unauthorized information violates the First and Fifth Amendments, while Republicans lead an investigation into Venezuelan boat strikes. It’s about time people start pushing back.

Love when McSweeney's goes for the jugular.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Rick Monday really has quite the baseball life. The *first* MLB draft pick ever, in 1965, and he debuted with the Kansas City A's in 1966 After retiring as a player after 1984, he's been announcing ever since. Outside of 1989-92 calling Padres games, Monday's been with the Dodgers. 60 years in MLB!

New Podcast Episode: youtu.be/w5cb6a3vP1s -- Call it one for the birds. We've got full analysis of Clemson's 28-14 win yesterday over S.Carolina to lock up a winning season. And we look ahead to the win's potential impact for Dabo's program.

Post something random or you’ll have an awful December

You have to love these assholes who proudly support the work of I.C.E. while bragging about "love of family" & "Christian values." Always whining about getting CRITICIZED WITH WORDS while babies are tear gassed, adults are disappeared & human beings are indiscriminately blown up without due process.

Cease has 5 straight 200 strikeout seasons. No one else has more than 3 in that time.

They put up fences and barriers on Capitol Hill. Now they're buying themselves more security. Meanwhile, transgender people are harassed and attacked. Immigrants are kidnapped and deported. Muslims and Jews face hate crimes. All against a backdrop of rising prices. Let 'em eat cake or whatever.

The night of his first start, the stadium was packed. First pitch scheduled for 7:05. Around 6:30 or so, someone came to me and asked if I had seen Dennis. Me: Dennis Boyd? Them: Yeah, he's not here. Me: Uh...game starts in about half an hour.

Let's Talk Clemson-Carolina: youtu.be/GXP82Z1esyY We jump into what Dabo Swinney needs to see from offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and quarterback Cade Klubnik this week.

New Podcast Episode: youtu.be/p-7FeUVRqYc Our season preview looks at Clemson's rising stars during their 4-1 start under Brad Brownell. We analyze what needs to happen if the Tigers' chances for NCAA success will be rising come March.

"This all began with the Rigged Census" claims the guy who was president during the 2020 census

Exactly right. I dunno if people realize this but Donald Trump is the president of the United States and has made clear on numerous occasions that he has unique and complete authority to release protected government records AND that he is personally directing Justice Department investigations.

“straight up giving the president a bar of gold” is where we’re at now on the “corruption isn’t real” scale good work, John Roberts

they call you a ‘fearless warrior for truth’ when you defend a pedophile president for getting with 15 years olds now

this ain’t wrong

Let’s be clear: the hold-up isn’t on our side. This was his campaign promise—so he needs to go ahead and fulfill it. Release the files. All of them.

“The Dodgers spend more money than any team in the sport, but those stars could not save them in this moment.” Great read about an unlikely hero’s unconventional path, by @dbrim.com

Will Klein has been getting a lot of love for his Game 3 heroics, but what he did still might be underappreciated, as explored here.

NEW EPISODE: youtu.be/4ueI9ZpoAHc Clemson dispensed of FSU for the ninth time in 10 years, but got away with a few continuing issues. What do the results mean as the Tigers travel to face the Louisville Cardinals? We break it all down ...

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

SCOTUS has placed another pause on a lower court order that directed the Trump administration to pay SNAP in full. I’m going to say it again, I’ve never seen a federal government work so hard to starve people.

Sean Duffy is refusing to give a timeline to restore flights. He’s definitely no Pete Buttigieg.

Trump's mental decline appears to be accelerating. So why isn’t the media reporting on it? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-why-isnt-the-media-reporting-dec

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

NEW: Looks like Thune got around the unanimous consent problem, and the senate could vote TONIGHT on the FINAL shutdown deal, meaning the House would open Wednesday to take it up. Tell me if I'm reading this wrong...

Guy who has been sued hundreds of times for not paying people wants you to know that he was definitely, sometime in the future, going to pay air traffic controllers who have been without a paycheck for close to a month and a half. This man is unhinged.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

The 2025 economy is worse than the 2024 economy in almost every way

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THE SHUTDOWN @schumer.senate.gov A "PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE" MEANS THAT PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR HEALTHCARE

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The centrist argument will probably be: this is a short term (Jan 30) extension and if we don't see real movement on the ACA subsidies by then we can shut it down again. We will keep the ACA subsidies as a key issue in a election year. But not sure there will be appetite to go through this again.

Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain? MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Look who made the crossword!

It's like the federal authorities wake up each day and challenge themselves to violate citizen's rights under the Bill of Rights as many ways as they possibly can 🙄
