A bill to allow people to buy a "hot" rotisserie chicken being lauded as revolutionary kindness is going to kill me.

Dallas has a budget shortfall of $34 million and cannot provide all needed city services. In other news, Dallas also recently committed to spending $400 million on sleek, new police training facilities.

Oceanographers from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa discovered the answer to how species diversity can be so vast and sustained in a seemingly homogeneous environment like the open ocean. 🌊

I’m trying to convince my institution that’s it’s worthwhile to be on Bluesky, so I volunteered to setup an account and posted at @soest.hawaii.edu. Please do me a favor and follow the account, share and like some posts before my meeting to discuss the account tomorrow. @joshuajfriedman.com

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget. NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy... The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%. NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Motherfucking “journalist” on @msnownews.bsky.social asking of the governor of Virginia if she’s not concerned that now other states will try to restrict as well, as if it hadn’t been TEXAS who started this, at the orders of the President. Virginia IS “other states trying to redistrict”.

Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.

With hindsight, maybe more of us should’ve expected extremist groups to turn the tables by infiltrating the Justice Department.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

well... THAT's pretty eye opening, actually, Mike, to just say it out loud like that. Did that sound different in your head?

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift. Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

We all need to watch this carefully. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The crucial thing to understand about Peter Thiel is that he adores "The Lord of the Rings" and no one in human history has ever so utterly completely missed all the salient points of what a book is about.

From “The Simpsons” house genius John Swartzwelder, interviewed in The New Yorker by Mike Sacks

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it. Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse. So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries. It’s your turn.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

Wait!! All this time, while being a cunt, you considered yourself a Catholic? Oh Dude. 😂😂😂😂

Crescendo? Sounds pretty pianissimo to me.

Only the New York Times, run by a fourth-generation nepo baby for an imagined audience of other elites with Roman numerals after their names, could treat such a small-bore common-sense tax proposal as the peak sign of a class war. If this is the peak of the "anti-rich current," they'll be lucky.

“My eyeline implies that the stage where the people I’m looking at is, like, 30 feet high.”

Trump called every reporter in the observable universe, who all dutifully repeated his updates about Iran, and all those updates have fallen apart in fewer than 36 hours. How long will legacy media keep doing this?

this thing is amazing: 12–13th century BCE owl-shaped Chinese Zun bronze wine vessel! On display at Minneapolis Institute of Art, Gallery 214 🦉

People complain that Democrats don't fight back. Redistricting in states like Virginia is exactly that and yet some voters are squeamish about voting for it. To be blunt, fighting back doesn't just include public officials but you too. So, if need be, hold your nose and vote YES.

Someone really ought to write a book about the significance of #SCOTUS doing so many major things through unsigned and unexplained rulings, and how so much of it really is a recent phenomenon.

Not many people know this, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is responsible for making sure the coal industry is never inconvenienced. Pretty sure it's part of the oath he swore.

I know we are so far past the point of even pointing this out but it is wild that the fbi director is threatening to sue people over a news article

Me: [idly looking up info on popes] Wikipedia: This list is incomplete; you can help expand it. Me: wut? Wikipedia: [lifts eyebrows suggestively]

One of my favorite Bible passages

If they settle, I think it's an impeachable offense for both him and the AG.

Will voters EVER understand the big lie about "scary democratic (small D) socialist policies?!" Bernie has told us for decades, and Mamdani is showing us now. We can instantly fund a WAR but have TO DEBATE for decades about healthcare for all - GEEZUS! They've LIED TO US FOR PROFIT for decades.

Grifters convincing male gamers that women passionately talking about games isn’t attractive proves we’re in the dumbest timeline. There’s nothing hotter than the gender(s) you’re attracted to talking about your greatest interests. I don’t know how men have become tricked into thinking otherwise.

I love how everyone is acting like Zohran Mamdani talking in Mario Kart metaphors is somehow unbelievable. He's 34... you know bro has a ride or die favorite Pokemon type and is up to his eyeballs in debt to Timmy and Tommy.

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

Asking New Yorkers if they’ve been personally victimized by Santacon is very funny actually www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-h...

The nepo babies that run the New York Times are suspicious that some other children of the elite have not used their connections to line their own pockets and they think we should all be suspicious too.

You can read about non-trinary neutrinos in my new book! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...

Hm. I checked the legislation and it didn’t compel the government to release “only documents the administration considers relevant”.

Democrats just copy-paste this. Mamdani is showing the way. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/n...

It's almost like "illegal immigration" wasn't the problem at all...He's trying to turn back the demographic changes made possible by the Immigration Act of 1965 which over time resulted in more *legal* immigrants from non-European countries.

BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren has introduced a bill that would allow you to file taxes for free directly with the IRS. The bill has support on both sides of the aisle, and would bring back and expand the free taxing filing program that the Trump administration killed off.
