Tying people’s insurance to their job and it’s not even free has got to be one of the biggest scams America ever concocted.

How can you be an informant of a hoax

Roland Reisley is the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the Usonian home designed by the famed architect. Even after 73 years, he told NPR, he still marvels at the beauty of the home.

I never wrote a picture.

wazzzaaaa dude happy birthday lol 😝 hope you’re having a good one wish i was there Also we all know the secret we share. Into the depths of darkness men like us tread. The hunger that drives us away from the light.

Disabled kids like mine rely on Medicaid to survive; this bill cuts Medicaid. I don't know how else to say that medically complex disabled children will die as a result of this bill.

So go ahead and fuck right off, Bill Clinton.

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

Following the outrageous and violent detainment of Senator Alex Padilla by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, House Speaker Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" him for "wildly inappropriate behavior." Trump 101: Accuse your opponent of what you are actually doing.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

good morning science

love how everybody's like "why would a Russian asset crash the US economy?"

Like, it took me .5 seconds to find a photo of Pat McAfee in a “Girl Dad” shirt. I knew I would find it. He’s not a “Girl Dad” in the way that he wants to support young girls and women. He’s a Girl Dad in a way that he will get angry if you treat his Daughter how he treats women.

Isn't this a coup?

Surreal to watch Trump and Vance so thoroughly humiliate themselves and give the rest of the world the final motivation they need to unite against the Putin surrogacy. It’s so shocking!

A boycott for one day ain’t going to cut it. Not after watching Putin’s stooge on the WH berate Zelensky. We are losing this country to evil by the minute.

What I feel is ashamed.

Louisianians: Children are 36x more likely to die by suicide if they are incarcerated in adult facilities than if they are incarcerated in juvenile facilities. Please vote no on three next month, y’all. I’m begging. www.noon3la.org

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I have postseason flu and that means I’ve written more stupid shit than usual this week, but so far my favorite thing that I don’t remember writing is a scrawl in my notebook that just says “GIVE ATLANTA A SECOND NFL TEAM THIS ONE DOES NOT WORK”

Lol. Sen Dr. Bill Cassidy professes to be a religious man. Today, against every oath he has ever taken, he voted for a dangerous predator scumbag to be in charge of our health. Imagine that: to believe in hell and still say "fuck it." Asking his press person today if the Sen. now expects to burn.

what kind of stock trades do you think your senator has lined up for tomorrow morning? is that what they're working on tonight instead of figuring out how to get those teenagers out of the servers at the treasury?

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

The vibe here is exactly like the "inject disinfectant" covid presser.

After a solemn start, he's now veered sharply into bat shit crazy and political disinformation. Good times

As terrifying as it is my god this shit is so pathetic. Dressing up like you're a space marine to go storm the apartment of some random construction or restaurant worker or any kind of job you can imagine. Keeping the real Americans safe from tables of fresh fruit. I'd rather turn the gun on myself.

This thread.

Happy Martin Luther King Day. Make it a priority to not be the white moderate he spoke of decades ago.

Sean going to the Juicy Fruit

Love it when a defensive lineman’s face takes up the whole front of his helmet

i hope everyone who argued that the TikTok ban is unconstitutional because it violates the first amendment takes a minute to process that the first amendment is what this court says it is. it's not some kind of panacea. neither is free speech generally. it's just another place to exercise power.

Reminder: You actually have three more days to get your shit together for the new year because 2025 doesn't really start until Monday.

That's true

TE should've caught that. Rattler smoked it in there but it hit him in the hands

This game is ass

Everyone who has witnessed addiction and recovery up close knows that sobriety always sticks when it is offered as a transactional gamble to get yourself out of embarrassment or trouble.

Oh well, tough Saints game. Let's check in on the Pels.. Oh dear

Yes! TOUCHDOWN!

Georgia Tech in overtime was one of those "7 year old drives van for twelve miles before getting it stuck in a ditch" stories

I know Georgia beating Georgia Tech isn't an upset but you should rush the field after 8 overtimes just to avoid deep vein thrombosis

I've seen a LOT of theories on why DJT squeaked out his narrow victory, & all those various theories are all quite fascinating & whatnot & probably the ~answer~ is some combo platter of them all, but what I've seen almost no mention of are a) Sexism b) Racism among Democrats, voters AND leaders.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

So Pete Hegseth’s story is that he had consensual sex with a married woman whose husband and children were with her at a hotel for a Republican women’s event, two months or so after a woman with whom he had an extra-marital affair had his baby, and he’s a traditional family values champion?
