Vance once called Trump "America's Hitler."

This scenario was an entire scandal in the George W. Bush administration that lasted for months, with hearings and the eventual resignation of the AG.

Yikes! "US judge dismisses Trump’s $15 bln suit against NYT, says ‘a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an adversary.’" Perhaps the president should find a lawyer who attended law school.

The free speech comedy bros are silent on Kimmel because they were never concerned about state suppression of speech. They just wanted to use slurs without consequences in the form of people saying, “You shouldn’t say that.” They don’t know how to handle actual threats because they’re weak.

Money and power always win out over conservative's principles.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Also remember that ACIP is very likely going to fuck up vaccination policies tomorrow. So there's also that to look forward to. If you can get your updated COVID shot TODAY, please do so.

The context here, of course, is that the “local broadcasters” Carr is egging on are actually huge conglomerates with a pending merger before his office that would give them (and him) vast control over all broadcast television stations

If Trump is such a great deal maker he can work with Democrats to keep the government open. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

been very hard to watch a bunch of 50-year-old podcasters come to terms with having a job.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

It seems that people online are collectively providing a pretty clear picture of the killer's very specific personality/ideology/online type, and people in the press are just baffled by the references (I say as someone who is baffled by the references).

There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

The whole right vs left argument about recent shooters misses the point. A lot of them are connecting with permanently online sub-cultures that glorify shootings, violence and are very weird.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying. Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm. I’m sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

Don't worry though, Larry Ellison is an equally awful person. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/i...

Republicans can keep denying climate change, but the actuary tables don't lie. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n...

FPS video games are some of the most popular types of games and have been around for 30+ years. The idea that they are just now contributing to shooting violence is a big mistake. This is a deflection instead of looking at the pervasive gun culture in the US. www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jr-comes...

Honestly this drawing is a lot worse than I expected both in tone and in artistic ability.

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That Fundamental Interests Of United States Of America Would Be Irreparably Harmed If It Race-Based Harassment And Detention By Masked Thugs Were Even Temporarily Halted

A decade ago, the Heritage Foundation went full meltdown about how Obama was an imperial president when he had issued about the same number of executive orders -- though he had reached it after six years, not six months.

BREAKING: Trump is pressuring the Nobel committee to change the name of the award to the “Nobel War Prize”

Trump's going to spend tens of millions of dollars rebranding the Dept of Defense as the Dept of War because the thinks it sounds tougher. 🙄 www.bbc.com/news/article...

this reminds me that i think people would be less interested in “raw milk” if we called it “poop milk” or “shit milk”

These guys are simply not smart.

if the president is more than 15 minutes late, everyone can leave and government is canceled for the day

Running 40ish miles this week, including a 20 mile hilly run on Saturday. The biggest week so far for marathon training. My goal:

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Kennedy might have prospered had he simply been content to continue slapping a MAHA coat of paint on the good work of the government’s actual scientists. Instead, he seems determined to rip the engine out while the car is hurtling down the interstate.

Joni Ernst, just a quick reminder to pay back your markers before you retire.

Makes sense. Any congress worth its salt would have made it very apparent Trump is abusing the laws it set forth for emergency tariffs. www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/b...

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst announced she will not run for reelection. When asked why, she said, “Well, we’re all going to die anyway.”

Congress needs to act and act fast. This bullshit needs to stop, otherwise millions will die should another pandemic rear its ugly head.

Faith without works is dead

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.

Heck yeah, let’s get this rate-cutting cycle underway. 🤡 @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Jeanine Pirro did everything she could to indict the sandwich guy-who is apparently a veteran-and failed Meanwhile the administration is giving Ashli Babbitt a funeral with military honors So if you're MAGA and you assault a police officer *for Trump* You don't get prosecuted You get celebrated

If I ever see Steve Deace eating in a restaurant in the DSM area I'm going to do more than give him a mean look.

I think there are a lot of Americans who have purchased guns because they like the image of having them. They likely don't even shoot them. I have 4, a pistol, a shotgun and two bolt action 22s. The second 22 was inherited from my grandfather and is 70+ years old. This is more than enough for me.
