Two more people have died in custody. The federal government doesn't keep track of how many people die in ICE custody and detention, but we do. prospect.org/2026/01/29/i...

yeah, i think political work needs to be done to connect vance directly to people like orban. "vance wants to rule over you like you're a slave

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

Energy policy think tanks keep putting out proposals like "give Mark Zuckerberg sole control over our utility rates by making him America's next grid czar" and the people in Everytown, America are like "go ahead and fuckin try"

McSweeney's nails absolutely everything I hate about journalists writing current affairs books.

Trump calling the pope "weak on crime" is unfortunately a great bit, but we'll see better as the feud progresses. Trump only really has so many rhetorical moves at this point and is rapidly regressing into fey Broadway insults, but we could see "he's losing his 'look'" and "his 'hat' doesn't play."

Biiiig defeat for the Yale Law School alumni association today

ICYMI I wrote about Eric Swalwell, who rose through the Democratic Party for more than a decade despite preying on women in what was considered in Washington an open secret, one that could have been closed by colleagues who endorsed him instead. prospect.org/2026/04/12/e...

“is the pope Catholic?” the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 95000000 pages of heated debate

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Meanwhile, in Ohio…

Social media awards season. All the brands are up for awards. Not us. Not our scene. Not our style. (Can't afford submission fees.)

It’s not a ceasefire if the killing continues on one side. Mass atrocities are being carried out by Netanyahu in Lebanon with U.S. backing. (1/3)

According to info from the Texas Senate, the cost of sales tax breaks given to data centers has exploded from an estimated $14.6 million for the 2014–15 biennium to a projected $3.3 billion for the 2028–29 biennium – an astounding 22,503% increase. goodjobsfirst.org/texass-data-...

The world would be a better place if we had more leaders who actually enjoy things and are happy to indulge in a bit of whimsy from time to time. I'm 100 percent serious.

🚨NEW🚨 Virginia’s sales and use tax breaks for data centers cost the Commonwealth over $1 billion in FY 2024, including an estimated $267 million that otherwise would have supported K–12 public schools, according to our new analysis: goodjobsfirst.org/the-hidden-c...

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Oh no my clerical tithes

Megyn Kelly doing the line from Clifford (1994)

Hey, if you live near me–or, as is more likely, if your parents do–check out the Democrat running in OH-80. Newman has GOT to go and Wagner has a real life campaign happening here. Big deal in a district where the Dem has often been a kid running as a school project. www.mobilize.us/kkwforohio/

No we will not be talking about the 25th Amendment on the show this week because that’s sheer fantasy. We will be talking about filing a petition for writ of mandamus with the Seelie Court in the Feywild which is more plausible.

I don't think we should have to deal with unnecessary geopolitical conflict AND Instagram poetry about geopolitical conflict.

Since I filed this abysmal depressing story, you know who has started to run on the same bad ideas? Democrats! WOOO LETS GO! Who needs roads?!

Continue to think that the modal American take on this is "why am I still hearing about this shit, why are we spending so much money on it"

There is exactly one person who can stop Trump nonviolently. Zohran Mamdani needs to make a world saving phone call.

Mike Johnson isn’t aware of and can’t comment on the crucifixion of Jesus.

What keeps you up at 4:58 a.m.?

It’s morbidly hilarious that Trump is exactly like the antichrist character from one of those dopey PureFlix movies and evangelicals are all like “we revere our Golden Leader who speaks with a forked tongue and believes himself to be above the laws of God and Man”

With many Americans struggling to afford the basics, consumers and state lawmakers alike are becoming more concerned about how retailers are using algorithms — many of which rely on personal data — to price products ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/30/r...

Republicans have no appetite for abolishing the filibuster because they rely upon it to save them themselves so often. The SAVE act would absolutely harm the GOP base. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Everyone in every level of government knows that the way to save money is by cutting contracts, not staff. He's going to cut more spending in NYC than DOGE did across the entire fed.

The world has vastly overestimated the amount of ink I (anyone?) want to read about Lindy West.

Deregulation is dangerous too.

my working assumption is that Trump is mad at Reuters

"No offense, Michele, but how in the world did *you* think of Post-Its?"

"Send the secret police to fix airport security delays" is a perfect summation of this administration's governing style. Nothing works and they don't know how to govern, but they do have a secret police force they can dispatch at will. Next the gestapo will be filling potholes in swing districts.

[The Pitt] So...Santos downfall when tbqh?

THE first loss of the round of 64.

Cowardly behavior

yes, renewable energy is woke and soy. it's gay and feminine to not have to pay the electric company every month. it's unmanly to drive a sedan that handles like a sports car. you're not an alpha if you don't owe your life and livelihood to the CEO of exxon

Glad to see. If charter school argue that they are public schools, then they should follow the same rules. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/11/m...

You can just say “times.” The “trying” is implied.
