once again people magazine is out there doing the lord’s work

they wanna spot us a touchdown 16 seconds in i’m not gonna be mad about it lol #ninergang

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

with the holidays upon us please enjoy my favorite miss manners column (circa 2002)

Reproductive rights was one of the Biden Administration’s signature policies. And Roe v Wade had been law for almost 50 years. The Supreme Court “interfered” with it.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE SUBSIDIES & ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY. CONSUMERS ARE INFORMED BY COMPARING POLICIES ON THE ACA EXCHANGES, THEN THEY PURCHASE ONE AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST OF THAT POLICY. I'M TEARING THE LITTLE HAIR I HAVE ON MY HEAD OUT.

Before ACA, I regularly had patients who bought insurance they thought was "best for them". I've seen $50k annual max, $500k lifetime max, plans w/ no Rx coverage, plans *carving out* cancer treatment, plans that denied leukemia treatment because prior iron deficiency anemia was a pre-existing. /1

Next time Trump claims to be fighting for Jews — spoiler alert: he doesn’t give a damn about Jews — remember that he keeps hiring Jew haters in his administration. The latest: Paul Ingrassia, the guy rejected by the Senate because he said he likes Nazism & racism.

were any of them wearing hot dog costumes

it’s like bari weiss is feeding her questions through an earpiece

(serious unbiased journalist voice) “are you trying to distract from the president’s refusal to make health care affordable by pointing out that he was also friends with a pedophile?”

As someone who lived through the ACA’s passage, all I have to say is bahahahahshahaha *drives car directly into river*

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

Literally stunned that someone like MTG is forcing herself to apologize, of all things. Indicative of a political wind blowing away from performative cruelty in politics because she is a weather-vane politician if ever there was one.

You can think it’s good that Massie and MTG are stirring up shit within the GOP caucus without thinking their politics in general is good. It’s not hard at all in fact?

I know the whole “Can you imagine if Obama/Biden” thing is trite but truly can you imagine if Obama had appointed a female Sec Def and she had started naming operations things like “Operation Valkyrie Vagina” or “Operation Beef Curtains”

secretary breakfast gin is having a phallic one

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Time after time we see that capitulation to the administration doesn’t work, but when we stand up to the bullies, we can win. This is a huge win for academic freedom and free expression. www.latimes.com/california/s...

If someone said this to me after sex, I would retreat from society and spend my remaining years living in a cliff-side cave

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

being married to an SEC alum i’ve watched a lot of college games and i’ve never seen anything like this. if he’s this aggro with a couple black players just imagine what he’s like when there aren’t cameras and thousands of people around.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Recent news coverage of extremist media personality Nick Fuentes might give readers the impression his audience is booming in size. But after reviewing our data, our researchers have some serious doubts that’s the case. openmeasures.io/nick-fuentes...

Namby/Pamby 2026 will not save democracy. We need fighters, reformers, and passionate progressives who will demand real change, real accountability, and real consequences.

i have expired. #dubnation 💙💛

years ago an emmy-winning comedy writer posted this in a DM group and I’ve thought about it literally every day since (anonymized and shared with permission)

our long national nightmare is over

NEW: So, the courtroom at the "Broadview 6" arraignment in Chicago yesterday featured lotsa Methodist pastors. Why? They were supporters of defendant/fellow Methodist Brian Straw. "If you come for one United Methodist, you have come for all of us,” one pastor said. religionnews.com/2025/11/13/m...

i had to see this so you do too

Good thread. On this point in particular: Elected officials, judges, bureaucrats, university presidents, corporate leaders, heads of non-profits, etc. etc.

everything I know about the Nuzzi/RFK Jr affair I have learned against my will

That Time Magazine cover headline — “His Triumph” — looks more ridiculous by the day. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/middle...

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

“I’m a Grok guy” is the single most embarrassing phrase ever uttered in the course of human history.

It's really weird to see people like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, who once had sweet corporate gigs, have to turn up the creep knob to compete with a generation of personalities that started with an iPhone and a mental disorder.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

crazy IG em_clarkson

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

oh so those epstein files are BAD bad

can you be more specific

For the first time since it's founding there's an actual conspiracy that indicts powerful elites and there are actual documents that actually prove it and Infowars is like "nah"
