I have three things to note here...

Seriously, why are the interiors of these fake, hateful, extremist "churches" (and I use the term sarcastically) always so ass-ugly? Was that group holding their meetings in a 1970's finished basement with all that wood paneling? Sheesh.

No, Chris. No, it doesn't. Let John Oliver explain it to you like you're five:

The fully rightful and wholly justified arrest -- and subsequent guilty plea -- of Lance Lashaway, one of the Hillsdale County Nazi Republicans who participated in January 6th (and remains under FBI investigation), is prompting his local Nazi terrorist cohorts to dox and threaten to murder cops.

Fun fact: Michigan calls their SNAP program the "Food Assistance Program" and officially uses the acronym "FAP." People asked why I was laughing the first time I read the paperwork.

I just got this text from MDHHS regarding the pause in federal SNAP (food assistance) funding. A notice has been up on MIBridges for a couple of days now, and the agency put out a press release at the same time saying the same thing in more words, but there hasn't been much information beyond that.

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Calling my surgeon: "Yeah, can you give me some of those titties so good they destroy the White House?"

"Legal options" for what? Suing over the use of something that is literally in the public domain? All presidential speeches are public domain works. ALL OF THEM. No exceptions.

"Today, the Secret Service closed access to the Ellipse Park, which is a public park, from which journalists had been capturing live images of the East Wing demolition. Well *that* makes sense. If none of it's on camera, they can just claim the East Wing hanged itself in prison." -- Stephen Colbert

I made it abundantly clear when they announced that they were running it on the FEC tracks that they'd better elevate the high-speed trackage, because people *WILL* DIE when high-speed trains plow through cars sitting on the tracks at level crossings. How do I know?...

Seconded fully and without regret.

I suppose the slight upside of Cuomo trying to come back from the dead politically is the reminder of what an utter scumbag he is in pretty much every way. Stay dead this time, creep!

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone sued them for breaking state law under the guise that they’re being compelled by the federal administration even though they have an option of fighting back. The Virginia Human Rights Act is crystal clear about this. law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodepopula...

Beyond being racist, what Ribbert says just isn't true. Dinesh created jobs for his lawyers when he was tried and convicted for felony federal campaign finance fraud.

This is what's truly entertaining about watching Cuomo crash out: he's getting shit from EVERYONE. Absolutely nobody likes Andrew Cuomo. Not the right, not the left, not the center, and most important of all, not New Yorkers.

Granted, it's Beijing's propaganda, but... they're not off-base here.

"Watch what you say when you speak about me." Are we REALLY praising @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for this weaksauce? THAT was a mic drop moment? Really? Because we had a word for his type when I was in middle school: POSER. Talks a big game, but never backs it up. He's a legislative POSER.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

Gavin Newsom is a piece of shit, example #4,278,395.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Yeah and just for the record, everybody, this is what comes of NOT punching Nazis

Particularly poignant here in Hillsdale.

Good.

CL Real Estate is literally a take-the-money-and-run company. Project after project across the Midwest has proven that fact. It is indisputable.

Glenn Beck claims he's on the trail of "ANTIFA." Oh no! Not the John Brown Gun Club (which he misspelled)?! Who was John Brown and why would he have a gun club named after him, Glenn? WHO WAS JOHN BROWN AND WHY WOULD HE HAVE A GUN CLUB NAMED AFTER HIM, GLENN?!

Maybe she's practicing her aerial hunting skills. I hear it's quite a feat to shoot dogs and goats at mach .925.

I want to reiterate: if China takes kinetic action against Taiwan—and all signs indicate they are preparing to do so—it'll be the Pearl Harbor of the 21st century. The USA's initial response is already predetermined, and this will mark the costliest opening battle of any war in world history.

We already learned that nonviolence doesn’t work in 2020. The learning got erased. We learned it in 2014. Erased again. We learned it in 2009. Then lost it. Learned it in 2003. Erased. Learned it in 1991. Gone. Learned it in 1968. Erased. Learned it in 1939. See the pattern? tinyurl.com/5c7n2dxs

"My kingdom does not belong to this world." -- Jesus of Nazareth, John 18:36 And no, that's NOT why Charlie Kirk was killed. Charlie Kirk was killed because a fellow Nazi didn't think he was enough of a Nazi.

We used to be a real country.

This is just the latest instance in which the Trump admin has used the shutdown to pause or strip money from Democratic-led cities and states. Before today, we counted about $28 billion in halted federal funds (and will be updating as we learn more) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

I condemn the torture that takes place at Guantanamo Bay, but if there was ever a song that could be used for that purpose... 🤣

ICE must be destroyed and the surveillance state dismantled. This is the compromise position.

All because a group of Nazis and treasonous January 6th attendees on the Hillsdale City Council hate the homeless and want to criminalize their existence (which is unconstitutional). www.facebook.com/share/r/16KB...

I hate Kevin McCarthy with the fire of a thousand suns and Mike Johnson makes me miss Kevin McCarthy.

It's YOUR political party, Mikey. You are involved. All Republicans are Nazis. No exceptions.

I missed this story last week. I'm not at all surprised. Remember: this porn ban bill is co-sponsored by Hillsdale and Branch County's State Rep. Jennifer Wortz ( www.facebook.com/StateRepWortz ). I wonder if she would care to comment on this.

(1/4) Good. If you're taking government funding, you don't get to discriminate, PERIOD.

That is literally the point. The Nazi Republicans want to make it so miserable to work in government that everyone quits or is fired. Several Nazi Republicans have said exactly that.

Your usual reminder that the Southern Baptist Convention, from which the Evangelical Movement sprang, was founded explicitly to uphold slavery. The northern Baptists were increasingly abolitionists, so the southern Baptists split off. This ain't rocket science, just history.

1: Advocating for a king to take control of the U.S. is treason. It is the epitome of illiberalism and is anti-American. (And before you say we should reject liberalism, learn what the word in this context actually means. It's not the same as modern American political liberalism.)

Honestly, if any of this surprises you, you've been living under a rock for 20 years.

I well remember the push to farm soy in the 90s and 00s. Our primary crops in Hillsdale County used to be corn and wheat, and we still have plenty of corn and wheat farms. But soy became a big business because the government made it affordable through subsidies.

Note to Matt "Diaper Fetish" Walsh: Jacksonville is a strong-mayor city, meaning that the mayor is the chief executive of the city's government, as opposed to a WEAK-mayor city, in which the executive is the city manager, who only acts on the orders of the city council.

The Supreme Court of the United States is already illegitimate with three "justices" appointed by a Russian KGB agent named Krasnov who committed treason to get elected as U.S. President in 2016 and is, himself, illegitimately holding office yet again. They are to be defied.

Straight to the pauper's prison with you, Jonesy.
