Mike Johnson is obstructing the US Constitution. President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in by Sarah Hughes, a US District Court Judge for Northern District of Texas. President Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his own father – a notary public and justice of the peace. Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Now.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

I don’t think may non-trans people understand this isn’t about international travel. Passports function as identification for those of us from red states that prohibit gender marker changes.

More than 100 authors and moderators will gather for the 21st Portland Book Festival on Saturday, an event featuring literary discussions, pop-up readings, a book fair and local food trucks. And for the first time in the festival’s history, it’s completely sold out.

People thinking they’re inventing network television after 10 years of destroying network television, I am going to walk into the fucking ocean.

Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask. (Published September)

The conclusion of the dissent, written by Jackson and joined by Sotomayor and Kagan:

Shadow docket of shame

Ah! It’s out this week! @gregrucka.com came to me to do a little consultation on Cheetah & Cheshire, particularly the Justice League dispatch scene in this issue where we see all the different members of the League going on missions. The highest honor to share a credit box with Greg and Nicola.

All states need to implement the Montana Plan that bypasses Citizens United to some extent. Montana plan: Corporate charters delineate the powers a state grants a company--the power to do business, not the power to influence elections.

Attention has (justly) gone to the abuses in Chicago but the assaults in Los Angeles never ended. The military left but they were guarding building. DHS paramilitaries remain active in L.A. it's bad.

They’re back. Started making a ruckus at everyone they gave their pitch to until they had to pack up their card table and leave again.

Everyone please buy a copy of CHEETAH & CHESHIRE ROB THE JUSTICE LEAGUE. You'll enjoy it, and, if enough of you do, Greg & Nic might get to do another offbeat miniseries somewhere down the line. Support the weird, fun little projects that the Big Two try so we get more of them.

Out TODAY!! Please please PLEASE give our book a chance — @nicolascottart.bsky.social and I really think it’s a fun way to spend your comic book time!

"Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4 finally gets to the classic heist trope of "everything goes sideways", resulting in fractures between its titular duo." @gregrucka.com @nicolascottart.bsky.social #NCBD #comicsky Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social's review:

Here's my joint review with @hopsgeeknews.bsky.social for Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League no. 4! nerdinitiative.com/2025/11/05/c...

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers. They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts. Follow the money.

24 corporations are giving Trump millions to build his new White House ballroom. 16 of them have government contracts. 14 are facing federal enforcement actions. Coincidence? We doubt it.

Totally normal for chickenshit government officials to be cowering on military bases, right? Asking for a country.

On the ballot today: -NYC: Mayor -Minneapolis: Mayor -VA: Governor, Lt. Governor, AG, and state House -NJ: Governor -PA: State Supreme Court -GA: Public Service Commission -TX: TX-18 U.S. House -CA: Prop 50 This is a reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.

the folks who'd do this to a working mother of four are evil and anybody who won't say so can't be trusted.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

READ IT. Please. The funnest book every month.

Renee gets me. CHEETAH & CHESHIRE ROB THE JUSTICE LEAGUE 4 is out tomorrow! Cats, rats, and capers! Art by @nicolascottart.bsky.social ! Colors by Annette Kwok, lettering by Troy Peteri!

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

“It’s astonishing how the industry is able to experiment on human populations with such far-reaching technology and largely unrestrained.” Citizen Lab director @rondeibert.bsky.social discusses the ethical risks of AI in an interview with the @financialpost.com. financialpost.com/technology/c...

Ahem.

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

"If it was anybody else, we'd arrest him tomorrow" is as concise a summary of the past 10 years as you could find

#4 of ‘Cheetah & Cheshire Rob The Justice League’ is out this week!!! The heist BEGINS! @gregrucka.com

The fact that Dodgers fans have to deal with our local police state just to watch the fucking game is psycho shit.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

Schools went on lockdown, people stayed inside. It lasted the entire afternoon. A constant din of whistles, sirens, helicopters, people shouting. Or dead silence. I see the NYT, New Yorker, commentariat frame it as "activists clashing with ICE." No. ICE/CBP/DHS are terrorizing US citizens.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

These are the exact questions I have. For weeks ISP has been in charge around the Broadview ICE site. There’s no question about it. And I really don’t like seeing Pritzker taking a victory lap in the press about resisting tyranny when his Illinois cops are doing this & helping ICE on the daily 👎🏻

You can’t even use SNAP to buy a hot rotisserie chicken unless you live in a state with a special waiver.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Next Wednesday!! The heist is ON!

Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light. newrepublic.com/article/2023...

no there is not. the law is clear, the constitution is clear, the intent of the lawmakers who passed it all is clear. the end. tired of entertaining this sophomoric nonsense
