I second the motion to adopt this term.

you changed it TO Latrine?

Always important to bear in mind that Truth Social posts do not have the force of law and sometimes Trump just says he’s doing things and nothing actually happens.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

"And their descendants"

There is no reason for anyone to be intimidated by this unpopular failing lame duck whose mental and physical health is circling the drain

Trumpism and Trumpists are incompatible with American culture and traditions and should be purged.

Yes, rising tuition is partially to blame, and there are many reasons for that. But the article fails to mention the sustained right wing propaganda campaign against #HigherEd that almost certainly plays a role as well. FYI FWIW I make *less* than a professor with my title made a generation ago.

There is so much joy in loving objectively bad things and knowing that they're shitty while you love them fiercely. Do not deprive yourself of this joy

Dude who took health insurance and food stamps from more Americans than any Speaker in US history wants you to know how tough he's got it.

I think often of the time a bunch of murder victims’ families showed Trump treasured photos of their loved ones and he signed them

National Guard aren’t ICE or Border Patrol. They didn’t sign up looking to harass and repress people. They’re volunteers, part time, in case of emergency. They didn’t ask for this. West Virginia National Guard shouldn’t have been deployed in Washington DC. Victims of the shooter and the president.

he’s fascinating to me to observe simply as an example of the varieties of human experience. Totally incapable of empathy or even the appropriateness that can serve as a guide to conceal the inability to feel empathy.

There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.

Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.” People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

I can only think of one person for whom this is true and it’s Stephen Miller, who for some reason will not rest till the US reproduces the violent xenophobia that made his and my ancestors flee eastern Europe. The rest of his family seems normal, though

Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns

Slop Evader is a tool from artist and researcher Tega Brain that lets you search the web for results exclusively before November 30, 2022—the day that ChatGPT was released to the public.

Third unvaccinated Kentucky baby dies of whooping cough. Pertussis, best prevented with a vaccine, has killed three Kentucky babies in the last 12 months. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

In a normal world this would be a scandal.

A package hasn't "shipped" if you've only "created the label"

Trump has fully evolved into the mob boss he always wanted to be. Rich assholes come to him on the day of his daughter's wedding or whatever to beg him for favors and he puts a horse head in some other rich asshole's bed for them.

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it. A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

Players are roleplaying in Fortnite to teach each other their rights when encountering ICE officials “I would slip [the warrant] under the door, but there’s no space under the door,” the agent says. The civilian pauses. “Well. Sounds like a personal problem.” www.404media.co/ice-defense-...

ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa. www.lbc.co.uk/article/brit...

The Atlantic & Vanity Fair only ever assign RFK Jr profiles to people who want to fuck him because nobody else can stomach the idea of lying to help him. He's an elderly nepobaby on a mission to kill as many children as possible before he dies, to leave the world more plague-ridden than he found it.

Recognize that if your professional/scholarly society wants your speaker contract with them to be confidential, it's because they -know- it's a terrible contract and are trying to prevent you from talking to your friends/fellow members about it.

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The burgeoning caselaw of the eggplant emoji 🍆 www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/rod/docs/pdf... (I count 10 eggplant references in my emoji caselaw dataset)

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)

DOGE is one of the greatest failures of the Trump administration. The next Democratic administration should pick up that issue and actually work to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse. I’d suggest starting by taking a look at Elon Musk’s government contracts.

Reuters makes these workers sound like so many dead skin cells. Alt headline: The Trump administration will plunge 317K workers into joblessness this year, with most having questionable prospects for reemployment.

It’s neither the lawful answer nor is it the oath they took.

Especially for the 1Ls out there, preparing for their 1st set of law school exams, I wrote this post back in 2007 about how to get a good grade on a law school issue spotter. The post, "Bad Answers, Good Answers, and Terrific Answers," is available here: volokh.com/posts/116838...

Democrats should make crystal clear that whether it is high level Trump officials, commanders carrying out illegal murders, or ICE/CPB goons, investigations and indictments are coming—referring to state AGs if Trump blanket pardons for federal crimes.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
