If you're a DC area bartender or related service industry worker and you hear govt./military people talking about the strikes on Iran, let me know what they're saying. I'm on signal at nslayton.12

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

"No" is a complete sentence, ain't it.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Shit is bad so I’m here to share my truth: Lonely Island is a collection of three crazy fuckable men

hey if you have no idea how anything works can you take a minute to weigh in? just go nuts with it, maybe make a bunch of predictions

I really can't emphasize enough that you are a complete freak if you care about Boy Scout genitals

Two categories of analysts who might take a step back, away from the microphone or keyboard, this weekend: —Those who assured us that Trump was the real anti-war candidate. —Those who assured us that invading Iraq was necessary and would work out great.

I'd probably be more enthusiastic about AI if everyone involved weren't just the dumbest guys?

How many more heartbreaking, violent anecdotes-turned-applause-lines can we expect I wonder

SIR ALERT

Do something about the courts? Like appoint three fucking justices to lifetime appointments?

Warnock: "Jesus is a victim of identity theft in American politics and culture"

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

i would like to read a deeply-reported, 10,000-word investigative piece about the procurement process that ends up sourcing a luxury 737 for the head of DHS which only seats 17 people

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published Feb. 2025)

Not even gonna lie to yall, I absolutely slayed the dinner game tonight with no plan and no extra ingredients needed. So good.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

Wow. www.levernews.com/the-complian...

If our Christianity causes the abused to be ignored, the stranger to be unwelcome, kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, and our planet to be disregarded all while billionaires get richer, we've profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/

The officer who fatally hit her, who was going 3x the speed limit and not continuously sounding his siren as required, and who had other collisions on his record, "received a traffic citation for negligent driving and paid a $5,000 fine."

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes. Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes. And thousands are CHILDREN. This will be another of America's greatest shames.

Get you a Boomer mom you can gush about Bad Bunny and Catherine O'Hara with. Highly recommend it.

Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and being this much of a whiney victim BITCH. Good god what a child

Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

I hate the Olympics and I hate Snoop Dogg.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it. What? x.com/sethharpesq/...

Please let me out of this simulation, I beg you. 🙏

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

It’s just racism. There’s no immigration problem

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

By releasing the Epstein files with so little redaction, the DOJ has jeopardized the privacy and well-being of Epstein's real victims—the elderly billionaires who sent him embarrassing emails about treating STDs.

Blanche: It's not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

This is what embodying the American spirit looks like. Alex Pretti is America. Renee Good is America. Liam Ramos is America. We are all the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and despondent. They are us. H/t @jamestalarico.bsky.social

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...
