Seems like they ought to remove the guy from office for talking and acting like that

Nobody is talking about the feral hogs tweet?

There is also the one where Reggie Bush tweeted his wishes for a "speedy recovery" to Steve Gleason. I don't have that saved, though

I've got Reggie Bush reacting to the Saints drafting Mark Ingram with these two tweets.

In the midst of a budget crisis, hiring freeze, and threats to cut jobs and services for residents, the city is once again poised to hand millions of dollars away to real estate vampires and hotel operators veritenews.org/2026/04/01/c...

Justice Alito: What if there was a birthright citizen with Iranian parents in your house?

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow. The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

Investment tip: when the GOP says they want to let “average investors” in on a good deal, it’s a sign that all the wire has been stripped from the walls and the investment is about to collapse, and they’re looking for suckers to hold the bag and be the face of a bailout

He could literally narrate the descent of a nuclear warhead he just launched and at least half of America wouldn't bother to tune in because we're all so tired now

This movement has never been about violent criminal aliens, undocumented immigrants writ large, or even immigration in general, but about the country’s changing ethnic and religious makeup. It has always been about white Christian nationalism.

Did they find the “Mission Accomplished” banner for the event?

Several bills with broad bipartisan support that would have protected Louisiana residents from abusive AI practices (being denied health coverage due a robot's decision, for example) have died due to bullying from the Trump Administration #lalege www.nola.com/news/louisia...

So the mayor has decided to turn down the free money for new bins and instead ask for a smaller amount of free money which (if it is even granted) she will use to pay influencers to make more ride along videos with IV Waste to "educate" people veritenews.org/2026/03/31/n...

“The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families,” wrote U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee. “He is not, however, the owner!”

The government that's attacking universities for their supposed antisemitism now has legal authority to collect lists of Jews on campus. Because, you know, they just want to protect us.

They're putting in one of those motion activated gates

It's also what the Democratic Party leadership wants. I'm not saying that's what they will get. I'm pretty sure they will not get Rahm. But it remains true that their main political objective, even now, is purging the left.

According to this, the public comment was 66 opposed to the drone program and 4 in favor. In the Times-Pic article about this meeting, they quote one opposition attendee and three people in favor. therosenbergbrief.com/2026/03/30/m...

there's actually one guy named "claude" a hyper competent frenchman given a special cocktail of amphetamines that they keep chained up in a basement in San Francisco. the usage limits are because sometimes he dies and it's necessary to decant a new clone and give him more amphetamines.

"Streamline the hiring process," how, exactly? Most of the city is currently under a hiring freeze. Is Moreno planning to subvert the normal civil service procedure in some way? Article doesn't say. www.nola.com/news/politic...

4. -Even if you think you're going out of your way not to put "politics" into your work, you are. Who you are in the world, what you think of it, and what you aspire to say your work is *inherently* a social/political stance. Writers can't help but be "political" because all writing is commentary.

3. One takeaway from this was the awareness that, people will see (or concoct) social/political views at work in one's writing, often mapped through their own views. In short, one way or another, you will be viewed as putting "politics" into your stories, even if you go out of your way not to. BUT-

Today, the FQMD approved the purchase of a drone that NOPD will use to surveil residents of and visitors to the French Quarter. In this state, the deer and alligators have stronger privacy rights than you do. #lalege

If only someone would create, like, I don't know, some sort of "efficiency" department that would go through the government looking for stuff like this... www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

From the same report: 22.7 million renter households in the U.S. are now cost-burdened—a new all-time record. And of those, 12.1 million are spending more than half their income on housing (up 1.5 million since the start of the pandemic and 4.6 million since 2001).

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210. $210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

The Times' 6:00am story about Trump's determination "to end the war in Iran through negotiations" is followed 26 minutes later by Trump's threat to blow up and completely obliterate "all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells, and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!)."

I feel like he literally has a goal of making it impossible to rewatch Veep.

Interesting that this long in-depth article about SWB financial challenges focused in particular on catch basin maintenance doesn't mention the often bandied about push for a new stormwater drainage fee. Has that been put on the back burner? www.nola.com/news/politic...

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.
