What fun. This is a great read, well argued and documented, with "Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer" seaoning throughout.

RFK at HHS is like if a baby crashed a car in to a crowd of people. Sure I'm mad at the baby, if not particularly surprised by the outcome - but my bigger concern is all the adults who handed the baby the car keys and insisted it'd be fine.

Not gonna lie I want funeral pyro. In lieu of flowers buy pyro

Disney Adult? Nay. Disney Patriot

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

Today's decision being heavily criticized by Past Brendan Carr

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

StubHub priced their IPO at $23.50, or $46.00 including fees.

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

Me: Can I have one of those blue milkshakes that symbolizes Grimace’s blood? McDonalds Cashier: (offended) We believe every beverage symbolizes Grimace’s blood

If you were worried that he was going to govern the city like a hard left ideologue, I don't think he is. I think he wants the city government to be a force for good in people's lives and is open to what that looks like.

Toad wrote on the ground with a stick: Go to Sleep. Then he crossed out: Go to Sleep. “There,” said Toad. “Now my day is all crossed out!” “I am glad,” said Frog. Then Frog and Toad went right to sleep.

We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.

probably worth thinking about what it would mean to pursue accountability for what increasingly looks like murder www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

A lot of people who were panic mongering about a woke cultural revolution are conspicuously quiet about a youth activist denouncing a professor for wrong think and that professor being fired as part of a campaign of public shaming by political leaders.

The Post and Matt Viser are suggesting that 22 yrs ago someone impersonated Donald Trump in response to a request from Ghislaine Maxwell to Trump and created a fake card to embarrass him 22 yrs later when he would be President. I'm not going to dignify this nonsense with anything but laughter

These fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but they’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

I encourage people to watch this video. The selected footage shows the professor doing nothing even slightly out of line, whereas the student misinterprets the law and hopes to impose her religious beliefs on the material. Administrators caving to this is terrifying.

they way they willingly went along with "ZELENSKY DIDNT WEAR A SUIT" complaints from the crassest administration in history was a pretty telling moment bsky.app/profile/erne...

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

“I wasn’t sure what number you wanted me to go with.” — Zuck, 100% pathetically bitch-made by a man who said he should be thrown in jail for life, appeasing an administration who says his wife’s family isn’t American, loving how RFK is dismantling every public health advancement that CZI ever made.

There have been a lot of invocations of the Niemöller poem this year, but the strike in the Caribbean should really be a wake up call. If POTUS is ordering the premeditated killing of people simply because the USG claims they're narcos, we're working our way through the list.

“When surveyed, sheep were much more likely to cut wolves out of their life than wolves were to cut out sheep”

“What if Liberace and Marie Antoinette had a baby? And what if that baby projectile-vomited all over the room?”

Bluesky has too many people with masters degrees posting "kush got me feeling like the Irish Alf"

By age 30, you should have a magic act, your own ministry, some prostitute friends, and an omnipotent, all-loving father who orchestrates your crucifixion

[Describing a former NYT op-ed writer who got rich editing a lavishly capitalized mediocre group blog who is about to be given control of CBS news] "fiercely anti-establishment"

If a few health professionals say something you don't like, all said it and we should destroy the CDC. If a few students say something you don't like, all higher ed said it and we should end academic freedom. If the president and his party does something, that's one guy spouting off, let it go.

Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now

going back to the founders it would have been recognized as an act of gratitude and patriotism to dedicate one's life to service of their adopted country, but Vance rejects the fundamental ideal of America in favor of crude blood-and-soil Nazism that he learned on the internet five years ago

kind of fun to imagine the rest of the world flying their flags at 1.5 mast in reverse mourning though

me: “The language of the universe is mathematics” MY YOUNGER CHILD: “lol no it’s my booty” me: “……factually incorrect. it’s actually math”

I’m really sick of the courts finding this administration broke the law in some unprecedented way, but they get to keep doing illegal things for a few months as a little treat. They’re defaulting to rewarding lawbreaking.

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

Nathan’s right. The Fed is not up to the task of an actual threat. They operate inside a cozy structure of norms, and have absolutely no tools when someone sets those norms on fire.

This is an absolute slap in the face to every single serviceperson who has protected this country and the Constitution. Ashli Babbitt was a traitor who deserves no recognizance whatsoever. Every person involved in this decision deserves the same.

(pointing at my bed like sleepy Babe Ruth)

Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff

Leftist: Yes, Trump’s kind of a fascist. Now let me get back to my obsession, re-litigating fights with Democratic centrists from a decade or two ago. Centrist: Yes, there are signs of fascism. Now let me get back to complaining a lefty used some woke terms a few years ago. American democracy: 🤯🤯🤯

Another possible explanation: millions of dumb, selfish people were deliberately lied to by a billionaire-funded right-wing propaganda apparatus with the explicit goal of enraging them & hurting the Dem administration. Dumb, selfish people believed lies. Doesn't that ring a little more true?

Excellent. As an aside, Steven Cheung is a ugly, porcine troll who buys his suits in the Family Size Tent section of Dick’s Sporting Goods.

I know there's a lot of controversy about the Cracker Barrel logo, so I worked up a new option that should be good with everyone... The barrel is back, but it's now guarded by Scubble, The Cracker Goblin. I also worked up a new slogan for the company!

wild that bill kristol seems to understand this better than most dem leadership brb getting in a time machine to freak 2002 me the fuck out

I appreciate this framing much more than other outlets. Others are framing it as if Justice Jackson is breaking some sort of important norm rather than rightly calling out her colleagues for their hypocrisy and making a mockery of the law and the norms/precedents the Court, itself, has established.
