The lesson we learned from Canada is that Canadians care a great deal more about their freedoms and democracy, than Americans do. The biggest group that decided our election is the group that didn’t bother to vote at all.

What’s up Wisconsin? Just got a replacement credit card and this “Notice to Married Wisconsin Residents” jumped out at me: You must promptly provide your spouse’s name and address to us… (I don’t live in Wisconsin but seems scary?)

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

If plainclothes policemen can’t grab random people off the street and deport them to a foreign death prison, do you even have a country anymore? This Federalist Society judge says no.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen. Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.
