Thanksgiving. Traveling home to see the family in Austin. 19 years old. Hadn't been in Honduras since she was 7. Probably somewhere in top 10 of the FBI Most Wanted list, obviously, given the scale of the operation.

What's really got me on edge is whether he's going to catch that thrown Cheez Ball in his mouth

The New York Times: Citations Needed, Never Supplied

If the Post only had one or two more reporters they could establish that this hass happened in every high-profile politically motivated prosecution the DOJ has attempted, maybe one of the extras EVEN knows the phrase "inveterate liars and perjurers."

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

There are ~90 million people alive today because of USAID. Russ Vought illegally shut it down and now is spending the money on himself. These are deeply evil people. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

Half-remembered pop culture item: the Muppets only got their own show after SNL writers failed to successfully incorporate them in early sketches, one writer remarking "I don't write for felt."

Can I be popular now? Please? Your favorite fallen sportsballers are now crime-free! (Bocephus voice) ARE YOU READY FOR SOME DRUG TRAFFICKING?

Zelenskyy: Great. Just fuckin' great. Just what I needed.

I think if you count all the LPs, EPs, collaborations, tour singles, Stereolab has about 300 songs (I have 275). This may be my favorite because it has two unique, related features: (1) no backup vocals (2) all in French so it's much smoother. Plus the music is like a great overlayered jigsaw puzzle

Fell off the chair when the absurdity of thinking that Rubio has a vision about anything hit me. AND WHAT THE FUCK DOES POPULIST MEAN. NOBODY LIKES THIS SHIT.

Roses are red Bob Marley be jammin' My kitties' breath Smells just like salmon

I have yet to find a case where they have actually told the truth

The 100th Wildcat Round-Up from the Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, MN, a recipient of my pitiful but regular donations, featuring some not-so-wild-cats (hybrid housecats) who live in the main manor. Contribute to these little guys and their much larger outdoor cousins if you're so inclined.

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I can't predict all the trends and the authoritarian roadblocks for the 2028 election, but I think based on my BlueSky bubble that a female Democratic candidate who promises a "no DMs, no lists" executive order on Day One wins in a landslide.

Operation Make Civil War Involving Worst People Humanity Has To Offer Go Longer

Y'all can't do Damien like this before his master Apocalypse-inducing plan is revealed, just sit tight.

Let me guess, is he a wind-up toy for Saudi murderers to the initial tune of $2 billion? QUELLE SURPRISE

You have to admit, Hugh Hefner put on a good late night show: (a) Doug Sahm is partially addressing his remarks to Michael Caine, in glasses at the upper left (b) the mosh pit really starts during Augie's organ solo (c) Barbi Benton, after being by Hef's side, is in the mosh pit.

I think Spirit may be unique in that it's the only band with a son (guitar, lead vocals) and his stepfather (drummer). Not sure what Skunk Baxter is doing here, he wasn't in Spirit but rather in a band called Ultimate Spinach in the psychedelic 60s. Could be the worst band name ever, who knows.

DHS initially claimed that when the officers exited their vehicle, Martinez tried to run them over, “forcing the officers to fire defensively.” New bodycam footage shows otherwise. trib.al/ACfN2iJ

And while you're up there, can you pick up some of that nice green moon money for me.. Royce McCutcheon? cc: @ditzkoff.bsky.social

(crosses out "Monkey Business") (crosses out "Animal Crackers") A-HA!

This is beginning to sound like the plot for Real Genius and if Pete Hegseth's house suddenly fills up with popcorn I'll know we're there.

Breaking: Judge grants Mark Kelly a preliminary injunction against Hegseth, who is reconsidering his rank: "This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Sen. Kelly's First Amendment freedoms & threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees."

Trump’s pardons for Jan. 6 rioters were already indefensible. The fact that so many of those who received pardons went on to commit additional crimes, including many felonies, makes the move look so much worse. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

My pithy summary for he and his deluded megachurch-attending cultists is the the Bible says "You cannot serve two masters, it's either God or Mammon" and they all enthusiastically chose Mammon and told God to piss up a rope.

The rants and ghostwritten Truth Social posts may change from day to day to keep morons like us scrambling, but one thing will always remain front and center in Trump's spiteful vision: he hates and despises veterans.

There's a whole series of photos of this little pink-nosed cutie suitable for making up stories for kids from 1 to 92.

"OK, if this get 'rid of the only thing we produce that millions of people care about' gambit doesn't work, we'll decide to disband and join other polling organizations."

Hegseth: (at children's party) WARFIGHTER! (stomps on balloons) WARFIGHTER! (gets pinata in a headlock) WARFIGHTER! (spikes fruit punch with Old Crow whiskey) WARFIGHTER! (challenges mathe-magician to pushup contest)

Did she do those things? Who cares? What are we, a newspaper? SHE WAS COMBATIVE, AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH

Mike Johnson's son better be on the remote porn monitoring software because Pop may be hitting it hard as he comtemplates early obsolescence 9 months before the midterms. He'll probably retire like 40 other GOPers have done.

It really is something to behold because there's really no defense presence at the grand jury stage, you have to fuck it up on your own so irrevocably that a unanimous cross section of people independently (no deliberations) think that you're completely full of shit and have no business being there

HOW can SOROS pay THAT many PEOPLE

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

I Believe I Can Fly was not originally written by R. Kelly but by Bud Cort whilst in the Astrodome as Brewster McCloud.

No, the ads are just creepy and off-putting and have a strong whiff of desperation, which as we all know is a stinky cologne. Just go to an uncharted isle and operate using some made-up currency because I'm not sure my retirement account likes having a gun to its head.

Over 73,000 people are now detained by ICE, including a two-month-old baby and thousands of children. This is what Trump has made a fiscal priority. Not SNAP, not Medicaid, and not Medicare, but family separation and prison-like conditions for children.

Today’s CBO report says US consumers pay 95% of tariffs. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social www.cbo.gov/system/files...

The yearly total for Trump, assuming no further revisions, was only about 15% sufficient to keep up with population growth and was bettered by Biden's 48 *monthly* totals about 95% of the time.

Pam Bondi promised an independent DOJ She has delivered the opposite Now we're watching her dodge accountability in real time That’s why we @democracydefendersfund.org filed an OIG complaint as she continues to ignore Congress, withhold Epstein records, & weaponize the DOJ at Trump's behalf -TN

Look, I can't predict the political future, but there have been enough GOP rats leaving the sinking ship to start up a 10-acre roadside attraction called Rat World. I've heard of losing your majority because of the midterms (the ruling party usually does) but never BEFORE the midterms.

Newly released body camera footage further undermines the Trump administration’s efforts to falsely portray Marimar Martinez—who was shot multiple times by Border Patrol agent Charles Exum in October—as a “domestic terrorist."

Maybe Leavitt was cloned off of her because they're both absolutely awful tone-deaf hype-women (i.e. the victims are right behind her)

Look the best we can reasonably hope for is I SAW AN NCIS EPISODE WHERE DRUGS WERE COMING IN FROM JUAREZ AND I FREAKED OUT

Maybe the President's call to start up a microchip factory in your spare room or an aircraft engine assembly line in your backyard is going unheeded because MANUFACTURING IS DEAD LIKE ONE OF HIS CASINOS.

Cast your mind back to the forgotten year 2023, when such numbers would have pushed the Recession Probability Index to 210% with added double digit inflation for eternity (because a Democrat was President)
