"Most jarring is Bradley County Constable District 7 in Tennessee: a single officer received a base award of $107,525, followed by a $11,500 salary bump — and now a further modification appears to add $1,820,550 in new funding for that one cop." www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Want to feel old? All the teenagers who used to email Rockstar Games asking why you can't shoot dogs in Grand Theft Auto now work for the federal government

the only thing that appears to give our aging, rapidly declining ruler meaning in his life is his ability to inflict death and suffering on others www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

This is going to get traction today but it’s worth noting that the details are pretty hazy.

It's a cash grab for both WB and JKR, the latter to help fund her bigoted campaign against trans people under the guise of "protecting women." How often has Rowling tweeted angrily about Prince Andrew and his Epstein connect compared to how often she vomits her "trans women are men" bullshit?

Trump is so fucking lazy and dumb that he makes George W. Bush look like Einstein.

at no point was I able to accurately predict the next word

NEW: The US and Ecuador claimed they bombed a drug trafficking complex in early March. A @nytimes.com investigation found it was actually a dairy farm. From Ecuador: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

America, 2026.

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

And my drunkards path top is finally is quilted and bound. Finished!

Being a powerful, wealthy person "unwilling" to speak the truth publicly and going further to actively lie is pretty much the definition of "not a good person."

BREAKING: I'm suing the federal government for access to evidence in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis. It's astonishing this lawsuit is even necessary, but in Minnesota, nobody is above the law.

The FCC just banned the sale of new consumer-grade Wi-Fi routers manufactured outside the US. Here's @simon-hill.bsky.social with everything you need to know:

ICE is detaining DACA recipients—Dreamers who have legal protections and call America home. In Texas, ICE ripped a father away from his wife, children, and newborn daughter who was in the NICU.

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-h...

This isn’t just the best Onion article ever, it’s perhaps the best piece ever written about 9/11 theonion.com/not-knowing-...

Really not a fan of the implication that people who are like "Hey, maybe a freakin' 90-year-old shouldn't run the house financial services committee" are being motivated by sexism and/or racism? But fine, let's review.

This is just a quick reminder that IN THE DEVIL WIND the, I swear to god this time, final Sandman Slim novel is available for preorder at all your favorite online sites and bookstores. NOTE: Barnes & Noble is running a 25% off preorder sale right now.

This has been a consistent pattern with where federal contracts are cut, infrastructure cuts during the shutdown, cuts to blue states accused of fraud: Trump systematically discriminates against populations that do not support him.

HEY WRITERS (not just SF/F writers) HAVE YOU BEEN PROCRASTINATING ON MAKING YOUR ANTHROPIC SETTLEMENT CLAIM? SFWA is running a webinar event OPEN TO ALL WRITERS (not just members! not just SF/F writers!) on Thursday. Sign up here: www.sfwa.org/events/anthr...

I’m at ICE HQ

Surely a state law-enforcement authority can determine who did this, how they knew etc? Yes? Not everything has to wait until Dems win a House majority or the presidency…

CONVICTED FELON voted in Florida w/ mail-in ballot 🧐

They know...they always know

I feel like this is *the* primary misunderstanding that leads Democrats to keep losing elections. If your kid can't complete the trig section of the SAT because her math teacher skipped teaching trig, do you blame your kid?

Trump's attacks on mail-in voting are not based in fact or reality — he just voted by mail himself.     It's a desperate attempt to suppress the vote.    We won't let him.

oh shit oh fuck I don't have nearly enough Robux to bribe these ICE agents.

True story #RealWorld

I have now been married "I texted you that yesterday, scroll up," years. That's a lotta years. 🤣

They’re roosting @universalhub.com

It was the best of times, it was the low level cheering for Delta Airlines of times.

New in PN: @markjacob.bsky.social on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story "The press decided all of this is normal. They cast aside the idea that this guy’s totally unfit — which he obviously is. The news media could go much farther than they’ve gone so far in stating how unhinged he is."

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

Please for the love of god don’t EVER talk to me again about ‘doing it the right way.’

for an idea on where this sort of policy choice is coming from, BU is hosting anti-trans NYT columnist David French for a “Can’t We All Get Along” civil discourse discussion this week.

Leading by example. The SAVE America Act is all about who gets to vote. Spoiler alert: It’s not the President’s opponents.

Bruce Springsteen apparently can’t get enough of the Twin Cities. Before he kicks off his tour in Minneapolis, he’ll perform at the No Kings rally on Saturday at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul.

More frozen food products sold at Trader Joe’s are being recalled in 43 states — including Rhode Island and Massachusetts — because they may contain “foreign objects” including glass, according to a recent notice from the US Food and Drug Administration.

The US said talks were happening with Iran. Iran says ‘wtf you talking about?’ US changes language to say the talks are ‘fluid’ meaning, I think, it evaporated into gas with a lot of hot air. You cannot TACO a war. www.bbc.com/news/live/cn...

Trump casts a mail ballot again in Florida even as he calls the method 'cheating'

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon suggested that President Donald Trump deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to major U.S. airports as part of a “test run” for using them to meddle in upcoming elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Exciting #microbiome and #nanoplastics news!

This part. Starfleet Academy was the culmination of the TOS promise that we could have nice things (but of course, we can’t). SFA was devoted to canon while pushing Starfleet to embody its rhetoric. These writers deserve awards, not cancellation.

GOP Senators John Kennedy and Ted Cruz devised this off-ramp, Kennedy says on Fox: "Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, he said no. ‘No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the president said no deal."

Here's another photo of the year candidate from Getty contributor Megan Varner:

And there it is. Making official what may of us said when Israel’s invasion began. Israeli officials want to annex southern Lebanon. They have always seen it as rightfully part of “Greater Israel” which extends from the river to the sea. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
