FEMA Chief Confused By Wind theonion.com/fema-ch...

honestly the ADL is more or less just an anti-Arab hate group which is entirely neutral on the issue of antisemitism

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

Ro Khanna wants Democrats to be the party of feeding USAID to a wood chipper, killing thousands. The party of securities fraud, and environmental violations, and union-busting. The party of Great Replacement and White Genocide conspiracy theories. The party of blatant white-only immigration policies

What's 1 million meals divided by 2 million people divided by a few months' worth of days?

Obviously it’s monstrous that Kilmer Abrego Garcia is being prosecuted for embarrassing the administration but it’s very funny that Yglesias was citing that case as an example of a losing issue *Tuesday.*

DOGE brutality was the ultimate manifestation of the "free market" libertarian movement's generational quest to portray the destruction of federal governance and corporate oversight as the path to utopia many of those think tankers should be ostracized almost as intensely as the fascists

A publicly funded affordable housing project with 100 one-bedroom apartments came in at $800,000 per unit. The same developer built a mostly market rate building NEXT DOOR for $350,000/unit. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

you can't tell at first because this is written in the exonerative tense, but she was shot *by another police officer*

Bluesky when something funny happens

Really nice illustration of how the last rounds of NYC mayoral primary voting went. You can see how important it is for mid-tier candidates to name a second choice for their supporters.

Friday's NY Post cover doesn't disappoint:

I asked the pedophile and he said it was all good so don’t worry about it

“Ontario's chief medical officer of health, Kieran Moore, said in a statement ‘the infant contracted the virus before birth from their mother, who had not received the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.’”

word of the day

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

woah: “Nearly a dozen immigration officers and eight deportees are sick and stranded in a metal shipping container in the searing-hot East African nation of Djibouti, where they face the constant threat of malaria and rocket attacks from nearby Yemen…”

i’ve been mumbling this to myself for hours

ICE raid on Musk’s harem compound in Texas would go crazy. I believe we can accelerate this situation to Waco levels in the next 12 hours

If a company is so ashamed of its behavior that it has to obscure literally every identifying mark on its property, well, maybe it shouldn’t be engaging in that behavior?

Steve Bannon has called for President Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act in order to seize SpaceX "tonight before midnight" and deport Elon Musk.

Now you understand the pain in Dan bonginos eyes

It's been overtaken by the Musk-Trump feud, but this session with Merz continues Trump's streak of the most embarrassing/appalling Oval Office meetings with foreign leaders in modern U.S. history.

i will donate to a khana primary challenger, I know top 2 makes it hard, don't care

This is not true. Rip up those contracts and SpaceX is bankrupt within weeks. The Feds can force musk out of SX no problem at all, using legal means

“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else. I think that, in the way that we have in this country, equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” - Zohran Mamdani

Only one man can save us now

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

Do we think he can be talked into nationalizing SpaceX and Starlink

I cannot stop wheezing
