Gotta love the anonymous accounts who think that they are entitled to *both* (1) dictate how someone else posts, and (2) consume journalism for free.

I'm sure the Right would be perfectly fine with Kid Rock canceling a performance over some perceived notion that the event was "woke"

How about this other sweater I got for Christmas -- do you like it?

We got our girls training treats to use with the dog for Christmas. It has gone exactly like you'd expect.

I'll be the cranky old guy. Why listen to something when you can read about it instead?

"The official now overseeing America’s visa system also owns a chain of beauty salons.... That civilian credential has become the most striking feature of her profile as she steps into one of the State Department's most consequential roles." Wut? m.timesofindia.com/articleshow/...

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation technically isn't a Christmas movie since they never actually show Christmas day

Congressional Republicans have broken Article I. There is no "fixing" or "reforming" Congress unless it involves making the GOP a functional political party again.

Do Chelsea not have a jersey sponsor? Or was that redacted by the Trump DOJ, too?

If you see this, post your woso fave (dating myself a bit):

Curious to see what gets dignified with the full oral argument treatment and what gets unceremoniously brushed aside via the shadow docket

Amplify a movie title: The Longest-est Day

ICYMI: I introduced a package of legislation to reform American democracy by increasing the size of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, as well as restoring the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction to better align with Article III of the US Constitution. Read more:

I just abolished ICE from about 60 feet of city sidewalk. And boy are my arms tired.

Pop Tarts Bowl is today? Why didn't any of you warn me yesterday?

Rich people did just fine when they used to pay high taxes, and I believe they can do it again

Here's what DOGE really learned: That, all in all, our government works pretty well in a scrappy, inelegant but greater-than-a-sum-of-its-parts sort of way. And that the largest source of its inefficiencies is inadequate resources and legal authority. Imagine if the public ever heard that message.

No matter how far Trump's approval sinks in the toilet, I'm still not confident about the 2026 midterms. And neither should you be.

Thousands of Americans have full-time jobs and still can’t pay rent. But they’re a significant and revealing part of America’s homelessness crisis, Brian Goldstone argues in his new book, “There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.” https://bit.ly/4b228Cs

Back to the Future Part II: The Musical

This Christmas's family gingerbread structure had to be Rowdy Audi, one of the few places of pure joy for us this year. Bonus points if you can name the goal we tried to recreate. (Hope we did the @spiritsquadron.bsky.social & @roseroomco.bsky.social et al. justice in the supporters' end.)

I can't name a single industry where white men have been excluded. So problem solved. Time for cocktails?

I'm not an IR scholar -- would there be any practical significance to China overtaking the US as the top financial supporter of the UN? www.thenationalnews.com/news/us/2025...

If there's any justice when this is all over, Miller will be sentenced to life in Taco Bell

'One Million Years B.C.' (1966) is technically a Christmas movie. Part of it takes place on what would later become December 25.

This platform needs a "But... Never mind. I don't have the energy" button.

I see a lot of people dunking on Miller, and rightly so. But the point of racism isn't the internal coherence, but the power structure: Getting to determine who is in and who is out. In other words, a small group of people get to decide -- not abstract rules.

Remember, the Secretary of Transportation is absolutely terrified of this subway system. Just mentioning the ACE line will reduce him to tears. And yet ...

In his own way, Wurman's making the case for birthright citizenship. He tries so hard and yet comes up with nothing. If there was a there there, it seems he would have found it by now.

Dr. No, PhD

Other than the Second Amendment, I think the Trump administration has brazenly violated all of the Bill of Rights by this point.

The problem with looking to the Founders is that when they were talking about "good government" they were probably rarely talking about good government. Just like today's policy debates wrapped in neutral language are often sophisticated code for naked politics.
