I was literally JUST thinking this on my way home today. But also that it came at the cost of seeing a lot of other vile creatures in the news every day instead… 🥲🫠

Podcasts. Always podcasts. Lol. Also if anyone said to me they thought they were gonna be in the same job 'for decades' and they worked in media you can pretty much discount anything they say going forward. Shit, look at the paper he's working for. Do they resemble who they were even 5 years ago?

Do I know any VA employment attorneys?

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

have we not, as a society, moved past “elon musk says thing” as a headline

It’s Markwayne so he may be genuinely sad he didn’t get a badge. This could be an opening for the Dems. Someone hit up Toys R Us.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

You can’t talk seriously about gun violence in Chicago without talking about where the guns come from. www.pbump.net/o/the-red-st...

Quick thoughts: *These are two huge and complex organizations. They are not part-time gigs. They deserve full-time leaders. *You now have a single person in charge of the two largest sources of personal data in the government. *7 IRS leaders in less than 9 months.

I’m really manifesting that we’re just a few weeks away from him having a complete meltdown and doing something that would make Mark Sanchez blush and getting the boot

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

I’ll eat the jellied cranberry sauce straight from the can and I prefer it over ever other rendition of cranberry sauce

Please don't shame users for posting AI slop. You'll hurt the slops feelings.

blocking isn’t enough. i need a social media app that lets me bite

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘Stop doing this to him’

Dawg why does he keep talking like he just got diagnosed with something terminal? Truly bizarre but I know we’re not that lucky

Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

I’m just now logging in and catching up but my sources are telling me that chiefs may no longer be the chosen ones

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The judge ultimately ruled that the teen was mature enough to raise two children, but not mature enough to decide if she was ready to be a mother. (Published 2022 in partnership with The New York Times Magazine)

I guess the president is rushing to send troops into blue cities because his friends in Congress can't stonewall the release of the Epstein Files forever.

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

As you see the Ellisons’ use the husk of Paramount/CBS to hand out fiefdoms to conservatives, remember: This summer Paramount bribed Trump $16m at the cost of 60 Minutes’ integrity. FCC approval of the Ellisons’ takeover bid followed within a few days. Brendan Carr made this statement at the time.

The most profitable cancelling ever culminates in CBS being turned into Fox News for people who prefer not to admit that they’re MAGA Republicans www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/the-...

Cities with a higher violent crime rate than Chicago: Houston Dallas Lubbock Amarillo San Antonio Corpus Christi

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

"The only communication the fire management officer received before the lapse in funding occurred was a partisan email that blamed Democrats for the shutdown."

So now we have court filings in which cases are allegedly hallucinated by *check notes* LEXIS NEXIS, THE EFFING LARGEST, MOST USED LEGAL DATABASE BY LAWYERS, COURTS, AND LEGAL SCHOLARS. Seems bad.

Ugh I forgot about this, this is so lame

it is hard to feel motivated to do normal things

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

“Kavanaugh stops” is a tremendous term term for cops racially profiling people and someone should start a crowdfunding effort to pay a bunch of SEC sorority influencers to popularize it on TikTok. We must fight fire with devastating trending topics slate.com/news-and-pol...

Nayib Bukele purged the El Salvadoran courts, replaced judges with allies, and made the judiciary legally subservient to him. Elon Musk says we need to the same here, ending ~250 years of an independent judiciary. Stop treating his involvement in US politics as innocent and normal.

Seems bad!

These are also the same people championing AI to do this type of work…so what jobs are these folks supposed to get exactly?

a respected senior CDC official telling the public that the federal agency has undergone a hostile takeover and it barely makes the news because that’s the state of the world today

I just want to watch football on my couch with my cat 😭😭😭😭

but you do realize next year will be worse, right (reader’s note: they did not realize this)

All 45 staffers at the "Department of Government Efficiency" were apparently too valuable to lose, as the agency was completely unscathed by the temporary employment suspension. trib.al/xPElaZu Meanwhile, he furloughed 89% of the EPA, 87% Dept. of Ed, and 71% of HUD.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

There is no benefit to stopping the shutdown. None. GOP and Trump won't stick to any deals made and this is the only lever you have right now. And they will double down and double fuck Dems if they do cave. Don't blink. They own the exec and both house and senate. Let them sort it out.

"fired tear gas, flash-bang grenades and pepper balls without any clear signs of provocation" literally making propaganda videos to justify the military deployment for the regime - declare Portland "war ravaged" then attack protestors to create videos that depict conflict and chaos

THE RADICAL LEFTISTS HAVE KILLED OUR BUSINESS [also we got bought out by private equity who shuttered the store and fired everyone] BUT IT WAS MOSTLY THE RADICAL LEFTISTS also can we have a federal bailout 🥹

Learning from history: In 1944 when Homer Rainey was fired, students went on strike and 8,000 of them marched in a mock funeral procession carrying a coffin with a banner that read “academic freedom” from campus to the Capitol and the governor’s mansion.

Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.
