Can’t decide if my memory is failing or I missed news of this arrest when it happened in Sept 2023–

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

Every news piece featuring Americans for Prosperity should be noting it as a Koch front. Hopefully w/this latest bump from @nytimes.com it will be, heading into 2026.

New nightmare bit this is just another reason to close the lid before you flush

TODAY IS THE WINTER SOLSTICE DAYS GET LONGER NOW WE MADE IT 🙂‍↔️

Historic Boston photo display, seen at local courthouse (1/2) - Fort Hill Sq. (1958) - Harrison Ave (1915) - Dudley Sq. (1913)

When I was a kid just about every public space smelled at least somewhat of cigarette smoke. As late as the early 1990s, you could smoke in the concession areas of the old Boston Garden and the smoke would drift into the arena forming a haze over the court or the ice.

There has been far less coverage of Trump's corruption than I would have liked this year; nevertheless he is paying for it in polls. 2 summary stories today, plus huge development. New Yorker: www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...

This is so fucking insane.

Extremely relatable Kim Kardashian

I know I am just a plebe but if I was a journalist who had hung out with a pretty well known pedophile whose criminal case had strong ties to the sitting president who was being investigated by congress... I would simply not write about that subject

reminder that Future Forward is the Shor-and-Swisher special that Biden's campaign initially worried was formed to help the Trump campaign win when it first got off the ground based on who was involved & really should not be the Big Name In Dem Fundraising -_-

Amazing to have one of my cartoons, "Dress Code", in the Top 10 of the best political cartoons of the year by @cartoonmovement.com ! Such an iconic list, selected from within 11,793 cartoons.

Can’t believe I haven’t seen this picture a million times already—how is it that Steve Bannon is escaping the heat?? *This is a real mirror selfie of STEVE BANNON AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN FYI*

That Lizzo lawsuit was trash from the start—plaintiffs barely alleged any conduct by Lizzo herself (versus others working the tour) and the few allegations that did involve Lizzo lacked credibility.

I haven’t given up yet!! I will re-attempt!!

I attempted this morning. 180 for 15 min? I did 250 for 20 and it literally did not cook 😩

Ahh yes the highly common procedure whereby a judge acts sua sponte on another judge’s 6-year-old order AND nunc pro tunc to that date from 6 years back? They’re really playing in Judge Xinis’s face with this move.

Bennie Thompson showing off with his mindbending questions here lol

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

The law firms who bent the knee to Trump are being tracked closely and the word is out. See the complete list here: demandjustice.org/priorities/b...

This level of petty is by far the most creative! 😂

Deleted this post because I undercounted. Turns out that as of today, there are at least *13,* not nine, people the feds have criminally charged for allegedly assaulting/ interfering with federal agents during Midway Blitz and associated protests, only to later dismiss their cases.

Beyond sick

I missed this report from last week: “detention centers that undergo PREA audits will no longer be inspected w/standards specifically designed to keep LGBTQ and intersex people safe. The facilities include federal & state prisons and jails, juvenile detention centers & immigration detention centers”

Yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes.

Lol

Do people remember how sketchy it felt going to the pharmacy in the early mid aughts, when the news always featured stories about pharmacy robberies and meth manufacturers buying out all the cold medicine? Feels like a fever dream thinking about it now.

lol this is not going to work when you’re shutting down the government to deny **affordable** care act subsidies

"Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud." 👀 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The solstice is in 2 weeks. Then the days start to get longer again. Hang in there, everyone.

The concept of confidential informants seems like such a crock of shit. For sure for a small proportion there’s a safety concern but I think more often than not, it’s because the person is so obviously not credible that any juror would be disinclined to believe them if called as a witness.

What tf happened to Sly Stallone’s face? Oh my. It’s uncanny and is uncomfortable to look at even, which…if you’re an actor is kinda the whole deal? I don’t understand this mess or mush happening here.

Larry bird almost 70? Time flies.

This woman starts and ends her day swimming nakey in her sweet ass infinity pool and Lord, I would also like an infinity pool? Ms. Ross is living her absolute best life.

Bone chilling levels of cold outside today ohhhh wow I was not ready 😭

kagan calls out the SCOTUS majority for reversing the lower court's ruling "based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record" -- when the lower court knew the case better from a nine-day hearing and reviewing thousands of exhibits

An absolutely appalling decision by the right-wing Supreme Court majority to approve the racially gerrymandered Texas map.    Trump & his MAGA Rubber Stamps are trying to rig the game and silence voters. Now SCOTUS has signed off on this blatant power grab. Utterly Disgraceful.

god bless justice elena kagan, who painstakingly explains in her dissent every single way that the SCOTUS decision in the TX redistricting case really doesn't make sense

So Kash fired all the professionals and in their absence, Bonbingo & his crack team have cracked the case? With evidence the FBI has possessed for years? At the most convenient possible time for FBI director? I’ll reserve judgment until we see the evidence—but getting whiffs of bs on first pass.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

I told y’all that Beauty Pie overnight cream was a heavy hitter!

That black man very CLEARLY saw what was happening, said "what you not about to do is" and bounced before he could be the one now getting shanked by Hesgeth on live TV

Don’t guzzle water before bed challenge: impossible I desire to wake up at least twice overnight tonight

Yall dont know shit about Johnny 5.

I don’t know how I missed this wild story about good ol’ demented floorshitting hamster Chuck C. Johnson this summer www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Why tf is Jared Kushner meeting Putin—ostensibly on behalf of the U.S. & Ukraine?? There is no bottom to the sick and fucked up shit we witness daily now. Like a funhouse adventure in hell. (But seriously why is Jared Kushner at this meeting??)

I wrote about Oura's security and privacy practices earlier this year for this.weekinsecurity.com, and found: • Oura rings *don't* end-to-end encrypt users' health data; • Oura *can* access its users' data; • Oura told me that the company *has* received U.S. government demands for users' data.

Love all the styling here, and Kelly looks amazing… like extremely amazing the bar is too high!
