The “fluoride removal” bit is a solution in search of a problem. Fluoride levels in Florida are completely safe, help prevent cavities, and keep kids in school. Where’s the evidence it’s been remotely harmful? There isn’t any. No ethics, no morals, all smoke and mirrors.

If The Boss ain’t careful Donny’s gonna revoke his passport and he’ll be forced to live in Paris or Barcelona or Capri and never see his beloved New Jersey again.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Jeremiah 1:5—"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you"—is often misused as proof life begins at conception. But it's poetry, not policy. This critique dismantles the verse’s misuse, arguing that real moral choices belong to humans, not to vague divine rhetoric. open.substack.com/pub/normsmus...

WATCH: “This is how Fox spreads disinformation. It’s sad to see Alexis McAdams be part of that machine.” Receipts of Fox News lying to their audience about the arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka with false headlines and selectively edited clips. As usual.

🔥 Kimmel on @repstansbury.bsky.social gloriously trolling Marge for using a doctored photo to try to make a witness look bad

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

A “stable path” in the economy is one where small shocks self-correct instead of spiraling. It’s about production, income, and spending evolving predictably over time, so growth stays on track even when minor disruptions occur. 1/5

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

Trump Vows To Reopen Joann Fabrics As Prison theonion.com/trump-v...

I am 100% serious when I say that Harvard's response to this rambling bullshit should simply be this classic:

Here are the good guy, pass through PBMs that @costplusdrugs.com has partnered with. Talk to a couple of them before youe company makes any decisions on their pharmacy benefits.

Democracy Warriors will never stay silent! 🗣️

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

When you look at the statements that were edited out of Trump’s Meet the Press interview that aired on TV, it is pretty rich that he’s suing 60 Minutes over edits to Harris. These are the parts that weren’t shown on air. meidasnews.com/news/what-tr...

Donald Trump claims to Kristen Welker on Meet the Press that he "can't name one Democrat." In the next breath, he rants about Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Then he has the audacity to say "Biden is the worst thing that ever happened to old people because he was grossly incompetent" Projection

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

If the @washingtonpost.com wanted to set its credibility on fire, this is what it would do. ChatGPT cannibalized an actual reporter’s good work, turned it into a steaming pile of misinformation and then had the fucking nerve to slap the reporter’s name back on its bullshit.

In the mid-1980s, Charles Bronson delivered one of the hardest Earth Day PSAs ever seen by mankind.

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

Make no mistake, the women who were sent to space today were not a demonstration of female empowerment. That was a demonstration of male power (wealth and virility) in the same way a pimp leverages women’s sexuality to prove his dominance. They were props, not promises. #blueorigin

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

Historians will tell you -- do not believe it.

The SG's briefs to SCOTUS generally have been considerably less contentious/implausible than many DOJ has filed in lower courts over the past 2+ months. The briefs in the Alien Enemies Act case, however, fall well outside OSG's historical norms. Or so I argue. www.justsecurity.org/109967/supre...

It will cost an extra $714 billion in tariffs to bring shoes, TVs and all other imports into the U.S. under President Trump's tariffs, a new analysis of trade data shows. nyti.ms/4j5bD4U

Economic Suicide by Dipshittery

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

“Show me the incentives, I’ll show you the outcome.” This is the intersection of influencer culture and politics. Politicians - even cabinet secretaries - believe that their job is to perform for social media. Getting attention is now their main skill, and why they are selected for their roles.

The most fragile, sensitive snowflake in history.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Trump is evil.

The Onion summer writing fellowship is seeking applicants! It's six months, good salary and benefits. This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.
