The founder of a Texas megachurch who resigned last year after a woman in Oklahoma accused the pastor of sexually abusing her in the 1980s pleaded guilty to five counts of lewd and indecent acts with a child, authorities said.

If the federal government is going to selectively withhold funds from Democratic states during the shutdown, Democratic states should withhold tax remittances to the federal government. When you pay your taxes, it doesn't go through your state. The mechanismsto do so should be erected immediately.

Greg Gutfeld thought someone calling Charlie Kirk a hate monger was the same thing as accusing Ta-Nehishi Coats of rape. People can have different opinions about the same person. No one can disprove or prove an opinion. Falsely accusing someone of a crime is defamation.

The crazy thing is that we want affordable healthcare for them, too.

Thursday 10/2 COTD The Hermit. The Star of David's light shines brightly on the truth in every situation. It is within the Hermit's lantern. May every hidden detail be illuminated by its brilliant light. Let's stay present and in the moment to receive the message of The Hermit.

Holy shit. Russ Vought is 49. I seriously thought this mutherfucker was in his late 60s. Further proof that being a monster will age you hard.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "It looks like the president is trying to take us off the world stage in terms of our credibility as the indispensable nation. I want the speaker to go to the president and say it's recognizable what you are doing and your deterioration."

Journalist Mario Guevara is being deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power. We should all be outraged. freedom.press/issues/mario...

The effects of the gov shutdown can and will spread to the private sector. Trickle down economics.

Can someone make me a bike helmet that looks like this?

DHS posted their response on X: “To be clear: We will NOT comply with Gavin Newsom’s unconstitutional mask ban." LAPD has kept quiet, following several L.A. TACO requests for comment. By Aisha Wallace-Palomares The full story: lataco.com/masked-law-e...

REMINDER: Rs can nuke the filibuster whenever they want and pass whatever budget they like, but they won’t bc they know they’ll never get it back and then they’ll lose their unjustifiable grip on power forever. They don’t want a budget, they want accomplices. Don’t do it. Hold the line.

First Colbert, then Kimmel, now BAD BUNNY at the Super Bowl. What gives this government the idea they have the right to tell private companies what entertainers they can hire, and what those entertainers can say or do? What kind of ignorant, lawless criminals are running this country?

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Was anyone really expecting TSA to show up and not get paid?

Stephen Miller may be *Out Eviled* by Vought. 🤷‍♀️

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

Let me see if I can just make this simple for everyone and draw this one to a close quickly. Mamdani cannot arrest Netanyahu. No one is going to arrest him in NYC. No one is going to drag him out of the UN and hand them to a third party. Please live on this planet.

Just your regular reminder that Danica Patrick is a racist prick.

In 2020, Biden won 509 counties and Trump won 2,500. But here’s the kicker: Biden’s counties generated 71% of America’s GDP. Trump won the dirt, Biden won the dollars.

Today on Morning Joe, @vinguptamd.bsky.social called out RFK Jr. for trying to refute over 100 years of history on vaccines. RFK Jr. said he was going to be the gold standard for science, and he's giving us the bottom of the barrel.

The fact that Carroll O'Connor was the total opposite from his Archie Bunker character, he was a Liberal and he believed in equality. What he did in playing Archie Bunker was expose America to its own racism.

While the shutdown is going on, now would be a great time to … Release the Epstein Files!

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

some people told dave chappelle his jokes weren’t funny and this ego maniac has been having a meltdown over it for ten years

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

They're all just fucking cowards who don't think any laws apply to them

This is illegal, and yes this is the same guy who claimed he'd never heard of Project 2025. But there's a larger point to make here about public service. No one who wins elected office wins 100% of the vote. But everyone who holds public office represents 100% of their electorate.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And let's start by putting smart women in charge and not these asshole old white men anymore.

Solar winds escaping from the Sun are expected to interact with Earth’s magnetic field Wednesday.

This entirely normal behavior is apparently illegal for Black women politicians.

Ooooooh this is gonna be great. An analysis of Taylor Swift’s accent changing over the years. Just watch white folks who complained about Kamala (and now Rep Crockett) suddenly understand code switching.

As an affirmative action hire to try and boost ratings in a boring sport by driving sex-appeal, she should probably sit this “culture war” crap out. What do I know? She didn’t work on me, but I’m here for Bad Bunny all day.

You could have just let her keep muttering this gibberish into her wine. Not everything needs to be a post.
