I’ve got a fever. And the only prescription is more cowbell.

Wut?

This is just delusional.

Health Savings Accounts - subsidized or not - are a form of self-insurance. That’s fine to augment traditional insurance, but they don’t spread risk. That means some people will need way more money than they receive, and some will need much less.

The father was a U.S. citizen. But he was Latino, so Brett Kavanaugh says it’s fine. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

Wut?

If I ever talk this way about any politician, please check me in to the psycho ward.

The laws of war are not mere niceties. They are lessons from centuries of blood agreed upon to keep the world more stable. Violating them isn’t hero cop who cuts through red tape to get things done, it’s psycho cop who crosses lines in ways even the rule benders find appalling and must be stopped.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

We waited 10 years, and Trump’s health care plan is “send people checks”.

Flights are being cancelled. Food assistance is suspended. Government employees are going without pay. But priorities are being taken care of:

Chicago: That is insanely disturbing. ICE kidnaps workers in broad daylight, leaving their equipment on site.

The feds raided an East Chicago home, arrested a mother and her 26-year-old schizophrenic daughter. She's been here since she's 2. In ICE custody, she had no meds and chose to leave the country. Now she's in Mexico, barely speaks Spanish, and her family can't find her.

Families Rally After Feds Take Chicago Daycare Teacher: 'We Are Filled With Rage' blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/06/f... — Hundreds of neighbors gathered Wed to demand that fed immigration agents stay out of Chicago schools & daycares after agents took a daycare teacher from a facility.

“They” That’s his way of blaming a lot of people who did absolutely none of these things.

What is Wall Street most worried about these days? From a NYFed survey summarized in Fed's new Financial Stability Report www.federalreserve.gov/publications...

RENMAC: “.. Ship counts from Asia to the US are down sharply against last year. We add up container ship tonnage across several countries, down roughly 20 percent against last year. Not sure what it means, probably not the best sign heading into the holiday season.”

Damn, he's not returning my calls either.

It's smart to be prepared for war, but to put the US economy on a "wartime footing" for an indefinite period of time comes at an immense cost to quality of life and is simply unsustainable.

In his decades-long pantheon of bone-chilling statements, this one’s hard to top.

James D Watson, co-discoverer of DNA’s twisted-ladder structure, dies aged 97

Keep saying this, Mr. Trump. It makes you seem so out of touch.

I’d hate to think what an unvindicated iguana looks like.

The hardest working man in reality TV.

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

The Italians were big leaders in seaplanes in the 1920s, which was thought to be the future of long-distance aviation.

Maybe if they won't listen to us, they'll listen to the Nazi.

Elon Musk would like you to know that, despite his $1 trillion payout, he is the real victim.

As air traffic controllers face a second missed paycheck next week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sounds the alarm that the system is nearing its breaking point.

I want whatever they're drinking.

The 2024 election will forever remain a f-ing mystery what people were possibly thinking.

Dudes are like "Hey, the future looks bright. Comrade Stalin's got our back!"

Trump deportation agent: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.”

Always buy the dip. If by dip, you mean:

China’s most advanced aircraft carrier enters service in challenge to US on.ft.com/3LsoWAL

Here's where I disagree with @radiofreetom.bsky.social. It's true that the average person in the US, right now, doesn't feel particularly oppressed. But the average person in Germany, in 1933, didn't feel particularly oppressed. They weren't the ones being targeted.

What the fuck is wrong with the people running our government?

I wasn't a USSR expert. But when I visited the Soviet Union in the summer of 1989, at the age of 19, I came back and told my college classmates, "in 10 years there won't be a Soviet Union." It was that obvious, on the ground. And it still happened faster than I ever could have predicted.

Once upon a time, if an American corporate CEO did the Nazi salute, he'd lose his job, not get a $1 trillion pay package.

It is an indictment of our society that Dr Evil’s dollar amount is only one one-thousandth of this absolutely horrific pay package

Trump, 2020: "If I don't win, it can only be because the election was rigged." GOP, 2020: "He's just saying that. Give him time, he'll accept the results." Trump, 2025: "Everyone knows the 2020 election was rigged." GOP, 2025: "Yessir, indeed it was, sir."

Sometimes it's not clear, so I'll clarify it: Even if these are drug boats, simply blowing them up is illegal. And if they aren't drug boats, holy shit it's illegal.

I call this "Why Does Everything I Touch Die?"

Of course he did. apnews.com/article/trum...

She and her ilk really sicken me. They’re why I left the party.

Need an extra Declaration of Independence for shit King George wouldn't have even dared.
