Nancy Mace went on TV and told pregnant people not to take Tylenol and to take ibuprofen instead. And, I cannot stress enough, HOW STUPID THAT IS. Ibuprofen is PROVEN to cause fetal complications. Has been for years. TYLENOL HAS NOT. EVER.

On a foul’s errand!

John Roberts liked to think he would be ranked among the great chief justices. And probably that is what everyone he ever encounters tells him. The rest of us think: Step aside, Roger Taney. It's now Roberts on his own.

Here’s what Charlie Kirk had to say about the First Amendment—seems weird they are desecrating his memory by trying to restrict First Amendment freedoms:

Most Americans/US media are aware of K-Pop and know of Korean-US population. But have not lived or worked in ROK. Lack a sense of on what points, and why, Korean history, dignity, and self-respect are at stake. If the US *wanted* to offend a crucial partner, it could not have done worse.

The line is wrapped around the block at the Harmony Centre in Owen Sound for the Meidas Canada town hall!

“There’s nobody who will fight harder to find a vaccine or a treatment for Lyme disease than me,” Kennedy said. Eight months later, he canceled $500 million in vaccine research, including nixing vital mRNA research, some of which would have gone toward a potential Lyme disease cure. trib.al/6nvizCv

Nothing says “Nobel Peace prize” quite like the changing the name of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.”

Trump's allegations against Lisa Cook are not the story. The story is that a Trump loyalist is deeply corrupting agency processes for the express purpose of manufacturing pretexts for referring Trump's leading enemies for DOJ prosecution. Dug into this process here: newrepublic.com/article/1996...

Trump’s DOJ: Throwing a sandwich at a law-enforcement official is a felony. Also Trump’s DOJ: Encouraging a mob to “kill” police officers during an insurrectionist attack on the Capitol is fine — and won’t prevent you from getting a job at the DOJ. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The problem for Trump now is, his governing strategy depends on creating an escalating series of novel dramatic shitshows. But he's running out of novelty now, all he can do is escalate and/or create variations on *existing* shitshows. That does not lend itself as well to control of the newscycle

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Hmm. Good question.

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

At some point in this horror show, guns are going to be used.

Trump 2.0 is Christmas for Criminals. Career fed law enforcement is getting purged, and the remaining ones are tasked—alongside increasing numbers of state and local police—with dressing up in military cosplay to do easy-peasy pickups of law-abiding immigrants at hearings or their workplaces.

@meiselasb.bsky.social Happy Birthday Ben

Here’s the thing: line officers at DHS routinely lie about stuff like this. Some studies suggest manufactured statements occur in 15-20% of cases, sometimes higher. Border Patrol is the worst offender but ICE does it too. Read this John Washington piece from 2019. theintercept.com/2019/08/11/b...

IOWA: “It is a complete pleasure to hear somebody speak in complete sentences.” *Pete Buttigieg gets a rousing Ovation at the #VoteVetsTownHall* 👏🏽

Newark airport had three air traffic controllers on duty instead of 14. On Monday evening the airport had far fewer than the 14 controllers agreed on between the union and regulators. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

Vaccines do not contain any fetal tissue or cells, nor do they contain any cells derived from fetal materials.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Quite apart from the abuses, misrepresentations and violations associated with the arrest of Judge Dugan, what should freeze your blood in your veins is the eager, systematic promotion of the action by senior administration officials. More police state tactics--their message: Trump is the law.

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

US Constitution Amendment 6: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law ...

Lessons to learn from US collapse: support local news, support investigative reporting, keep your public broadcasting going.

When Team Trump said China didn’t have the cards to win in this trade fight it was another example of their extraordinary ignorance and recklessness.

Former President Biden doesn’t have a security clearance to revoke. He’s never had a security clearance in his 50+ year career as a federal elected official. A DNI should know that.

oh my god -- Comer thinks "editorial standards" literally refers to standards for editorials and is corrected by the NPR head

Witkoff was a fool for joining that chat from Moscow. But the entire charlatan national security team also chose to put him on that chat when they knew (or should have known) that he was in Moscow. A spy novel based on this level of cretinous behavior would be unbelievable.

so telling that Hesgeth’s reflexive reaction was to trash Goldberg as “deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes. This is a guy that peddles in garbage. This is what he does.” That’s what happens when you get a Fox News guy at Sec DoD

An insane response. Don’t let up on this story.

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

Circling back on this…

In Chicago, a U.S. citizen was arrested, handcuffed, and spent most of the night at an ICE processing center. After buying pizza, he says, ICE agents "handcuffed me and pushed me into a white van where other people were handcuffed as well.” Other people arrested are still detained.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Big day for the WITAOD movement

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy is now suggesting that everyone should get measles. Kennedy is advocating contracting measles OVER being vaccinated. Yet another alarming reminder that RFK Jr. is a danger and a failure in his new position as head of HHS. Faced…

According to Rachel Maddow, the Trump administration is cutting funding for the sterilizing of instruments for surgery at all VA hospitals, taking our military back to Civil War levels of safe medical care.

I published this at Law Dork at 7pm on Saturday: This week, President Donald Trump acted as an authoritarian. The only real question is whether anyone will stop him from being an authoritarian.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

This is a lie... First of all town halls aren't being held in "arenas" they are being held in churches, schools and community centers. Second, 90% of the time you have to be a resident who lives in the district to register to attend with a valid address.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is now advising Congressional Republicans to avoid hosting in-person town halls after a series of explosive events where protesters vented about Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s highly controversial policies. Speaker Johnson wants Republican lawmakers to hide from…

Elon Musk is grifting off the American taxpayers. The government waste and fraud are right here.

“Thank you again. Thank you again. I won’t forget.”

"We have to take care of our law enforcement," says the man who pardoned hundreds of J6 cop-beaters. And two men who are protected by those cops applaud.
