"Every accusation is a confession" remains undefeated

How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

“the president seems to be using the doj to hide his years of involvement with the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history” feels like a story worth reporting on

The Heritage Foundation is dead! Merry Christmas, everyone! www.publicnotice.co/p/heritage-f...

U.S. measles cases hit a 30-year high, according to CDC data.

And now for some motivation from the Owensboro Burger King.

on some level you have to stand in awe of the gall it takes to use this tone about someone people are angry at for suppressing a story about a concentration camp

The self-proclaimed head of USAGM, Kari Lake, who this year destroyed nearly all of the Voice of America, tells the agency's few remaining journalists the White House National Security Strategy will "guide our interview subjects, story selection, and coverage going forward."

Justice Alito seems to have missed that the government's account of the Marimar Martinez shooting has been completely discredited.

SCOTUS tells Trump no on deployment of Illinois Nat’l Guard, finding a valid exception to the Posse Comitatus Act doesn’t exist. Huge loss for the Trump Administration. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The case Pam Bondi brought against Rep McIver in New Jersey isn't going well for DOJ. In discovery, a DHS employee gloats over having assaulted McIver, while other messages show DHS officers using racist slurs against the New Jersey congresswoman.

I am waiting for one, literally ONE major company, to lean hard into AI counter programming with their products and marketing. It’s RIGHT THERE. It’s worth a FORTUNE. “Hate ‘AI’ in everything? We got you!” But they Will. Not. Do it. Lemmings and cowards and greedy visionless hacks, all of ‘em.

This also answers the question: which Catholics on the Court believe the Pope is the Vicar of Christ and fear for their souls?

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve, everyone. paulandstorm.bandcamp.com/track/christ...

Study of over twenty five million people over almost four years finds that COVID vaccines reduced COVID deaths by 74% and increased all-cause deaths by zero. I don’t know how much clearer it can get than that. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Interesting fact.

20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding. Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers. Without the Bureau, financial predators and scammers will have an easier time picking your pocket.

Fed. judge rules that New York's law prohibiting state authorities from sharing DMV vehicle and address information with federal immigration authorities is not preempted by federal law, nor does it violate the supremacy clause. Link is in this news report --> www.reuters.com/world/us-jud...

CBS filed a copyright claim against my YouTube channel for posting Canada's version of the CECOT story that Bari Weiss killed—SO—I downloaded the transcript and read the transcript verbatim. Here it is. Please watch & share to fight fascism & censorship. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uRf...

It is about this: because so many people do not give a shit about romance, shit gets tried in romance first. You should pay attention to romance publishing news and care about it, because they will try that shit here first.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

Just incredible how underwater Trump is on tariffs.

Holy shit this paragraph is about the sitting President of the United States of America

DOJ's Epstein excuses on Xitter and the responding community notes are turning into Matryoshka dolls.

To be perfectly blunt: the president’s allies have put graffiti on a national monument. That is all that has happened factually and legally. The name has not been changed. Presumably the next administration will clean the graffiti off the building.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Here's a quilt of Volume 4 of the Epstein document dump. Gives you a 10,000 foot view of the redactions. that's 2,704 docs.

Some highlights from our Stephen Miller piece: First, his grandmother has written an unpublished history of some of his ancestors' immigration to the US. We are publishing it online for the first time. They were attacked in terms similar to those he uses today. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Highly amused by the stories of companies using agentic AI chatbots to run their internal company stores, only for their employees to immediately Bugs Bunny the chatbot into giving them free stuff www.aiweirdness.com/when-a-chatb...

"The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go." Oh. Yay.

This was found in the batch of Epstein files the DOJ released today.

See that’s the kind of talk that gets you buried in an unmarked grave on a second-rate golf course

FOIA also says you aren't allowed to redact information to prevent "personal embarrassment" for those shocked to learn the government withholds information unlawfully

Senator Wyden from the top rope...

The strategy is "delay, delay, delay, declare war, distract, hope it all goes away...?"

'how do we get our employees to be more loyal and not leak dirt' well here's one wild ass plan

Kerry Kennedy — Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s daughter and RFK Jr.’s sister — says she’s going to grab a pickax as soon as Trump’s term is over and take his name off the Kennedy Center.

Current food culture, craft beer, and fancy cocktails are all directly downstream of the end of smoking in restaurants and bars. Turns out, if you can taste things, you want them to taste good. Supposedly (per experts in beer) American Rice Pilsners actually pair really well with cigarettes.

Can’t stop thinking about this. The Trump administration is essentially extorting hospitals into dropping gender-affirming care—without Medicare or Medicaid they’d go bankrupt. It’s akin to a backdoor ban even for people with private insurance, a proposal that wouldn’t pass Congress.

Montage of Howard Lutnick over the past 9 months constantly moving the goalposts on when the economy is going to be booming - 4Q! 1Q! 2Q! 1 year! He was asked in March when it wasn’t going to be Biden’s fault anymore: “We own the economy in the 4th quarter!”

Interesting 7th Circuit caselaw on work for hire not applying in the academic setting. But not sure what the law is in the 4th.

What a time for @questauthority.bsky.social to not be doing IP law

Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it. We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.

I got heat when I published an oped about how bad RFK would be because I pointed out that the last time he advised on vaccine policy, American Samoa ran out of child-sized coffins. www.stardem.com/opinion/edit...

“Hey, hey, RFK — how many kids did you kill today?”
