Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

“The Salvadoran president offered to turn the CECOT into an extension of the U.S. prison system in exchange for a payment of $20,000 per individual per year.” The two presidents are basically slave traders in drag. english.elpais.com/internationa...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

If you are not registered to vote, you might want to do it right the fuck now. Because who controls access to passport?

The fuss about all the insider trading is crazy. This is a guy who was caught coerced officials into gifting him votes, organized an insurrection where people and police died and sold and stole national secrets. And walked away laughing. Insider trading is like a parking violation

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

No! Stop this, major media! That’s _not_ what just happened! DOJ at _no_ point made _any_ commitment to “bring Garcia home,” nor did it ask for “more time” to “bring Garcia home.” It said that Garcia is in the custody of El Salvador and the court has no jurisdiction there. Get it right, dammit!

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

I demand a psychiatric evaluation be completed on the President of the United States. Immediately. And annual re-evaluations. Take it or leave it, it’s part of the job, there’s no choice in the matter. This is so easy, intelligent and safe. Oh. Right. America.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
