Sometimes the issue that riles readers up and gets the most clicks is not the most important issue facing a country. Sometimes your readers are wrong.

REMINDER: Republicans’ budget bill, the Big Ugly Law, made private jets tax-deductible. I would genuinely love to hear an explanation of how that will help with rising grocery and healthcare costs.

I'm pretty sure I've never bought a false flag narrative in my life without having a complete confession and unambiguous, objective supporting evidence. But this sounds like bullshit.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

This is a common assertion. I have never heard it made without being able to disprove it within a minute.

The shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas is an unacceptable act of violence. My heart is with the victims and their loved ones.

Heartbreaking news out of Dallas this morning. Immigrants deserve safety and dignity. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and all affected. We must end the gun violence epidemic and work toward a country that protects every person, no matter where they come from.

A sniper shot 3 ICE detainees in Dallas this morning, killing 2. This is an abhorrent tragedy, and our hearts break for the families of the victims.

Kristi Noem couldn’t get to Twitter fast enough to use the Dallas ICE shooting for political points. But local news now says it was detainees who were shot — not ICE agents. She played politics, and three human beings are dead. We need an investigation into how this happened now!

Given how awful they were, I’m fascinated by *why* the gilded age of the late 19th century produced people who are remembered largely by their philanthropy. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Guggenheim, Vanderbilt, Stanford, Duke, Huntington, etc. Was it all just ego or was there interest in helping people?

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

i haven’t figured out the color coding, but this is an interesting site for discovering music: everynoise.com

BREAKING: Florida cop treated for autism after exposure to tylenol during traffic stop

Shame on The Atlantic for printing this tendentious bit of bullshit.

Change the words and substitute CPAC… see how that goes over.

table behind is a 60 year old couple face-timing with their son about totally random shit and i’m close to losing it.

My take on the whole Acetaminophen / Paracetamol thing is that it has an unfortunately narrow window between efficacy & liver failure which too few people realize, but that it’s a solid drug that is unlikely to gave a significant impact on autism. 1/

Please do not take medical advice from Donald Trump or RFK Jr.

Tom Homan allegedly accepted a $50,000 cash bribe in a Cava bag. Pam Bondi’s Justice Department shut down the investigation for unknown reasons. Cover-up.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

Without the ACA tax credits, families in every zip code are either going to lose their coverage entirely or pay up to 75% more for the same plan. Only 7 days for Republicans to find their spines and choose lower costs for their constituents.

L’Shanah Tovah to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah and warm wishes for a peaceful, prosperous, and sweet year ahead. May this period of deep introspection and renewal remind us of our moral responsibility to one another and the greater good of humanity.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

yo, if you're not willing to describe justice thomas as anti-liberal then i really don't know wtf liberalism means to you unless your answer is "what it meant to the german middle classes in 1849" in which case i'd say "ok cool that's not liberalism by any serious modern understanding of the term"

Given the structure of our Constitution and the Court’s current makeup, i’m very close to ‘we’ll need to break a few amendments to save the patient.’

The problem with Trump isn’t simply that he’s FoS. The problem is that people indulge it.

😱

He’s risible. He’s pathetic. He’s a clown. A joke. A national embarrassment. And he may end up killing us and our children. And the idiot Americans who voted for him enabled all this. I hate them almost as much as I hate him.

King Charles could have done the world and the monarchy a solid

my 2029 plan starts simple… -remove the 5 conservative justices of SCOTUS. -Implement a 100% wealth tax on fortunes over $500 million. - Disband all Sinclair, Nextstar & Murdoch owned properties. - Tax gas at $8 gallon - Ship every member of the Administration to Venezuela.

We stand the best chance of coming out of this in one piece if the rest of the world is clear eyed about where US political leadership is right now

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

Trump's brain is now incoherently flitting from topic to topic as the UN sits listening him to complete silence

This is the guy who the Supreme Court of the United States has decided to rewrite century plus precedents for.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen America so embarrassed in front of the entire world.

i’ve stopped watching Trump’s UN speech because i don’t think it’s appropriate for me to laugh and ridicule people with serious cognitive deficits.

i bet even Stephen Miller sweats when Trump starts talking without the script he was handed.

We’re going to need to replace SCOTUS. To myself, as an an attorney, it’s a firehose of WTF that serves primarily to gild the partisan destruction of our legal norms by offering the patina of credibility.

Op-ed: #Florida’s public universities are being held hostage by far-right policymakers on the state Board of Governors. www.tallahassee.com/story/opinio...

WITHOUT getting into the politics of the matter, what are the countries recognizing Palestine actually recognizing? Is its inchoate existence? Specific borders? Government?

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

is my word choice inappropriate here? It’s literally, objective fact that people used to be diagnosed as ‘r******d’. Is it inappropriate to say that in a post where i’m addressing changing diagnoses?

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

Between the murder of non-combatants off Venezuela, threats of war against Chicago, the rejection of free speech & the direct use of the DOJ, the absolute sycophancy of SCOTUS & Congress & much, much more… I don’t think Trump, Thiel, Musk, et al., still believe we’re a democracy. Time for action.

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.
