New HHS guidance

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Nicky Krush (D-Chicago) served in the House of Representatives from 1934-1946, at which point Harry Truman appointed him Secretary of Labor

Extremely troubling numbers for the Democrats. They must immediately denounce the San Francisco school district's policies regarding algebra if they're going to regain their edge. Preferably while driving F-150s.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a case where the potential criminal liability incurred by prosecutors in the act of indicting exceeded that alleged in the indictment

In a year in which the VP argued that "America is not just an idea," it's worth returning to the Gettysburg Address, delivered on this day 162 years ago. "We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."

Always worth a re-read

I'm under orders not to disclose whether or not I ate a secret dessert with w creamy filling that I took from the second shelf in the fridge at 11:07pm last night.

Stupid ass tweet. “Most people” gives the game away. Trying to start fights instead of understanding the world.

Tell Me More, Tell Me More Naughty Nuzzi is the hottest Olivia since Newton-John and she left bf Ryan stranded at the drive-in while she got physical with the ones she wanted faster than greased lighting. Will she give Larry some Summers lovin'? There are worse things she could do. by Maureen Dowd

Whether it's Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Epstein's emails or some Democrat delegate from the Virgin Islands no one has ever heard of sending a few texts to Epstein once, both sides have their hands very dirty.

Oh look, another rat fleeing the sinking ship Trump

can we appreciate just how badly Johnson and Trump played this Epstein vote? total failure of a pressure campaign, delayed for months to ensure it stays in the news and immediately swamps "the Dems caved" as soon as the shutdown ends, and now it passes 427-1 couldn't have gone worse if they tried

The Globe’s opinion editor is James Dao, the guy who commissioned the 2020 Tom Cotton op-ed for the NYT that called for setting the military on American citizens. Note “commissioned.” He asked Cotton to write it, because Dao is a fascist.

Here's a thread of results from our newest Strength In Numbers/ @verasight.io poll, out today: - D+5 on generic ballot, grows to D+7 when voters are told Rs control Congress. - Trump at -16 approval, underwater on inflation by 33 pts and on health care by 26 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

So we should be frank here, it seems the SBC has decided their Hispanic brothers and sisters can be fed into the woodchipper

i'm thinking about doing a live reading of Nuzzi's entire book and selling tickets to raise funds for a charity that teaches kids not to read

Son of Sam Letters Reveal a Lost New York

He was a Whopper, I was a McRib—back for a limited time, only at participating locations. He told me to "have it your way," I was content enough to say "I'm lovin' it." Could I really be his Burger Queen? He doesn't have a worm in his brain by the way. So the memes are wrong, the ones about the worm

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

The entirety of every urban area, including its suburbs, should be governed by one central local government with one school district. No more exclusive enclaves with snob zoning and pseudo-private schools.

My wokest opinion is that free movement of people across the globe is a basic human right. The earth belongs equally to all of humanity and restrictions on movement based solely on nationality or citizenship are an affront to God.

My wokest opinion is that there shouldn’t be any private high schools or elementary schools. Education is a matter of the common public good and everyone at the K-12 level should have an equal opportunity with the same resources to attain a common educational baseline.

i wonder if haidt will revise his thesis about the excesses of left wing universities or if he just chuckles while sitting on a mountain of cash

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

I’ve said this before, but a huge function of our carceral system is resource extraction from exploited communities, and that includes the fees, commissary, and essentials people send to their loved ones, not to mention the time, attention, energy, etc.

Lula no!

Thanksgiving Turkey, a food so US American it's named after a country in Asia Minor. Not because the bird comes from there. It was domesticated in Mexico, brought to the Mediterranean by the Spanish, and then brought to England via Turkey for some reason. But no foreigner could ever understand.

I just remembered this from Glenn Kessler 3 months ago

these are the same people that want to repeatedly inspect your childs genitals btw

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

Just circling back here

If your Willett is Claire, everything’s fair If your Willett is Kate, that’s far from great

Ah yes, the most secure room in the White House, the one used to monitor and make decisions about natsec crises, now to be renamed the Don't Release Info About Trump Raping Kids room. We're at PEDOCON-1, people.

I have not insignificant disagreements with the TNY column but I think this response really missed the mark by doing an old school Deadspin takedown of the author and eye rolling the actual question Is gambling killing sports? depends entirely on what you mean by “kill”

imo guessing when a scandal is really going to break through is kind of a mug’s game. there’s a reason they call it the last straw instead of the first and only anvil

The main thing I want you to understand is that if you're like an unironic Bluesky liberal the people who control the heights of American culture and the intelligentsia genuinely despise you and would prefer the company of fascist pedophiles.

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

It is hard to come up with a better analogy for whiteness than preferring the AI simulacra of your supposed authentic art form to whatever a Black woman from your art form’s cultural geography might make.

Malawian girls in Russia were taken into slavery and forced to take part in the production of Shaheds in the Alabuga industrial zone.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

If we do get the proof that he had a stroke, we get to barbecue and eat Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. Those are the rules.
