Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

“Women didn’t love him. They still don’t.”

Amazed at the number of guys who are willing to give interviews about how since they didn’t find love with women they found love with the computer that’s poisoning people in black neighborhoods

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

somehow they managed to do the free press but worse

“We're both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We're connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me.” ― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

Reactionary Catholics mad at the pope should just take matters into their and become schismatic. Make some nut job in Texas their pope. Create an Avignon papacy in Fort Worth, build your papal court in a strip mall next to a Jamba Juice and a Verizon store. Go to town with it, guys.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

"Daddy said you have to let me speak too."

Fox News reporter to Mike Johnson: "How can you say 'they take no pleasure in this,' and then the next minute say, 'Oh, they're just having fun and trolling?'"

some people told dave chappelle his jokes weren’t funny and this ego maniac has been having a meltdown over it for ten years

ICE are thug trash.

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.” Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens

I wrote about the urge to “punch up” and assume the only loneliness that matters is your own, and everyone else’s is self-imposed. www.cartoonshateher.com/p/when-im-lo...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

Wild that a drunk white dude gets to give an important speech on the importance of being violent and mediocre just because people confuse seeing one minority on the street with the apocalypse

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

It is ridiculous to demand that people who hold none of the levers of power to "do something". What exactly do you think they should do to make a difference? Meanwhile the people doing the evil shit "oh well, can't make them do anything". That's working great for you.

What is fucking ridiculous is everyone is telling at the Democrats rather than the actual party who is enabling and causing this. You know, the ones in a position to actually do something. Apparently it's okay for them to remain silent as you're not yelling at them

Republicans are the ones who are silent and complicit. If you only hear Democrats being silent then you are selectively not hearing the ones who are speaking out. You will not find ANY republicans speaking out -- that is the problem!

Rest assured, if the September jobs report doesn’t drop because of a shutdown, you’ll know exactly what happened. We’re living in the era where “no news” is basically confirmation of government collapse.

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

Your White House medical team today.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Sir that is no way to talk to the Supreme Court

The whole debate about "how do we treat right wingers" is a pointless mess because like which ones? Stephen Miller? A random troll? Your gullible coworker who believes all the videos he watches about cities being war zones but is nice to everyone in real life? They all require different approaches

To single out abortion as the place for compromise is to ignore the political reality of the last three years. And in a moment when the stakes are so high—as women are literally dying—being both confidently wrong and hugely influential is straight up dangerous. jessica.substack.com/p/ezra-klein...

Man, first the pinkos at Cato produce a chart showing right-wing violence is much more prevalent than left-wing, and now the woke antifa National Review is claiming the Comey Indictment is invalid!

“Is it that the Chief Justice doesn’t accept that the Court is losing credibility on a daily basis; that he thinks the Court doesn’t need that credibility in order to fulfill its intended role in our constitutional system; or that he doesn’t care?” Me on John Roberts as his Court turns 20 today:

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

Weird but attractive cloud just now.

FL has a problem if they want to force doctors to see unvaccinated patients. “In 2023, the governor signed a bill allowing physicians the ability to deny any patient a treatment if it violates their conscience or morals”. I can hear DeSantis/Ladapo now: “but ONLY if we agree with your morals”.

CARIBBEAN HISTORIC HEAT WAVE The Caribs are living their harshest heat wave in history with records every single day allover. Today's news: Min 29.4/85F Charlotte Amalie US VIRGIN ISLANDS HOTTEST NIGHT IN HISTORY (again !) Min 29.1C ST MAARTEN 🇧🇶SEPT HOTTEST NIGHT

Florida now wants to force doctors to see unvaccinated patients, even when they pose a risk to everyone else. Dr. Rana Alissa nails it: “If you’re going to take the public health safety from our community and our state and our neighborhood, at least let me maintain it in my own clinic”.

So what you are selling is Thomas Sanford, HUGE MAGA Charlie Kirk fan, drove his truck in to a church and murdered people but didn't leave behind a manifesto or a note? I'm not buying it.

The decline of the Washington Post is sad, not least because it’s a deliberate choice. It’s bad for media, bad for politics, bad for the country. But the famous hold-power-accountable newspaper is gone. Take a lesson from zombie stories: That’s not WaPo, even if it appears superficially similar.
