Trump says he’s ordered Hegseth to pay the troops during the government shutdown. “We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS.”

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

more gotcha journalism from the media!

Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai Trump just launched a YouTube series called "1 on 1 with Kai" and the first one-hour episode is her playing golf with the president. I haven't watched the whole thing, but I think it's safe to say it's not going to be breaking any vital news.

Famously, not paying the military has never caused negative consequences for regimes

The ease with which officials lie in 2025 is honestly terrifying

It’s interesting that Republicans keep talking about No Kings on Oct. 18 as though it’s just a DC protest. The protests are nationwide. Find your local one here: www.nokings.org#map

The leadership of the measles outbreak response was fired in the RIF spree while RFK JR attempts to completely dismantle measles vaccine access for children.

They're spinning this as a marketing fail but I think the real story is just that people are stupid as fucking rocks now fortune.com/2025/10/10/p...

they only say not to microwave metal because they don’t want us to know that it tastes good warmed up

Found this just incredibly depressing, more than anything.

This video is AI.

I see absolutely no downsides to huge private companies issuing their own currencies to compete with the currencies of major countries.

“For more than three hours, correctional officers can be seen walking past his cell while he lay on the floor in obvious distress. The jail nurse was not called until a female guard noted he was foaming at the mouth and having seizure-like activity.”

“While the president’s authority to grant clemency for federal crimes is virtually unfettered, the power to impose vengeance via prison assignments isn’t clear.” Actually, the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. It’s in the Bill of Rights. It’s pretty clear.

Terrorism. There’s no other word to describe what we’re witnessing.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Guy on CNN: but if Mr Nibbles was real Senator Warren, wouldn’t it be a mistake to let him provide free healthcare to illegal immigrants?

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

Note: This isn't the first time the Trump admin has used an apparent AI-generated image prominently on a govt website. They also appear to have done it on the "America Prays" website, which initially had an image of George Washington praying that differed oddly from the original painting (right).

Trump launched the TrumpRX website today. It has a photo of Trump and an AI-generated family with too many fingers and mangled toes.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released. DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but
