Why is the Santa on my Diet Coke can holding a glass bottle of Diet Coke? Does he think he’s better than me?

I’m being personally attacked by a Lexus ad.

My county has re-implemented paper ballots and I’m feeling very George costanza about it.

Trump’s tariffs in two numbers: 0: How many companies moved 100% of their manufacturing to the US $3800: How much more the average US family will spend this year because of tariffs. This is what happens when our economy is led by a man who bankrupted casinos.

Questions are now mounting about whether Kerr County officials made mistakes that contributed to the heartbreaking death toll in Texas. Many local & national journalists are digging into the issue & have already found some key information. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill. They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.” But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.

Enter Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir and close ally of Musk. Thiel and his company are now central to Trump’s newest plan: building a massive government-run database on every American.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Texas Republicans just passed a bill forcing every teacher to post the Ten Commandments in their classroom. They passed it on the Sabbath… breaking the 4th Commandment. Maybe they should try following the Ten Commandments before mandating them.

Reminder: When companies pay less than a living wage and don’t offer healthcare, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets like Medicaid and SNAP. That’s not a handout to workers. That’s a handout to the companies exploiting them.

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just banned all weed products in the state of Texas — including edibles and Delta 8. The Republican Party once stood for “liberty” and “small government.” Now they’re the party of control.

I'd like to remind Pam Bondi that Nixon didn't go to prison, but his AG did

Greg Abbott claims his private school voucher scam is wildly popular. But when I offered an amendment to put vouchers on the ballot, the Governor threatened and bullied lawmakers into opposing it. Greg Abbott is telling on himself — he knows Texans don’t want his voucher scam.

Van Holen should receive an enormous amount of credit for this, because we need to summon an elemental force more powerful than anything Trump wields: the ego of US senators.

this is how the american economy is going to work for AT LEAST two entire years

Unless you regularly litigate against the government, you simply cannot fathom how much of the law is straight Calvinball, heads-the-government-wins, tails-the-challengers-lose bullshit like this.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump said his administration will apply a 10% tariff on all imports, and that other trading partners will face additional “reciprocal tariffs” ranging as high as 49%.

If you can “sneak onto” a signal chat, prolly shouldn’t have used signal right?

no offense to Jeff but if you are alleging the head editor of the Atlantic was cunning enough to circumvent all your security safeguards that kinda makes you sound even worse

'Not everybody; is an understatement here. The most critical point is that this is an absolute *failure of imagination* on the part of many people, even though it has been clear for a long time what is happening.

Tanking a 10+ year gaining economy in only 6 weeks has to be a record for any President

This is the comment to beat

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has rejected a Republican-backed request to extradite a doctor charged with prescribing abortion pills online to a Louisiana resident last month.   "I will not be signing an extradition order that came from the governor of Louisiana, not now, not ever."

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in. Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

The Stonewall Riots happened because trans people, particularly of color, rose up against state violence. You can’t even begin to tell the story without our trans ancestors and elders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...
