…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues? Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened! Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week. people.com/donald-trump...

It's that special time of year

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

oh, what do i see here?

Free speech is more than me being allowed to say what I want. Everyone also has to like it and tell me I'm a smart and handsome boy

Insiders are saying the Department of Homeland Security's ICE hiring is in "chaos" and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller is reportedly angry over "lagging" deportation numbers.

oh, hey, look, it’s what literally everyone who knew anything about hiring staff said would happen

ICE is expected to be shitting around in my county starting tomorrow and I really need everyone to send me prayers and strength that I remember my script when they try to come through my door, because I love my community and FUCK ICE

Another day, another story of ChatGPT leading a user into dangerous mental health situations. How many such stories and cases will be enough to actually get politicians to do something? Or to get universities to stop pushing this onto students? www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Ravi Coutinho needed mental health and addiction care. Getting it through his insurance network was nearly impossible. He texted his friends: “Therapists have been 0-4.” “Called ten places and nothing.” “The insurance portal doesn’t know shit.” (Published Sept. 2024)

Genuinely interested in how this plays out: will public humiliation and withdrawal from some non-university roles be enough? Both the left and right (DOJ investigating him) want more.

A “high-level” Trump admin official told the @newyorker.com that in an interview for her position “her interlocutor opened his mouth to reveal that he had a MAGA tattoo on the underside of his lower lip.” The official said, “It’s over the top, but it’s the currency of the realm.”

It’s time to play our favourite game:

As always, I'm astonished far less by Trump himself than I am by the tens of millions of Americans, powerful and not, who are essentially pretending this is all normal. It's like the court martial judges saying "well, maybe they DID steal his strawberries" and making Queeg Secretary of The Navy.

Rape and abuse and pedophilia and all these things are bad in the abstract but we’re not allowed to say who’s doing it and we’re not allowed to say who was victimized by it. We can’t come up with ways to stop it from happening, either

The US Park Police have become increasingly involved in DHS's unjust and violent immigrant terror campaign, as The Handbasket previously reported. With the increase in DC-area parkway traffic stops, it appears the relationships remains strong.

Trump retreats on Epstein files. Three lessons: 1. It can be easier to fracture the MAGA coalition than get "responsible" Republicans to step up. 2. Democrats should fight rather than find reasons not to fight. 3. Dems need to be anti-elitist not just anti-GOP. www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-eps...
