Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

A Special Counsel needs to be appointed to investigate Elon Musk --or Democratic Attorney Generals need to in order to protect their residents who Musk has accessed their private data.

We will not "Make America Healthy Again" by allowing Big Pharma to overcharge America. Congress must pass Bernie Sanders' and my bill to make sure Americans don't pay a dime more for drugs than patients in other Western democracies.

New incel pickup line just dropped.

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

Maybe don't run your business such that every customer is a potential suspect in your shooting. Follow me for more life tips.

Health insurers use America's system of legalized bribery to buy politicians, who then enact policies keeping profit-maximizing insurance companies between patients and medical providers. This was all part of a MASTER PLAN. Learn about it at MasterPlanPodcast.com - and pass it on.

Kudos to @stephaniekelton.bsky.social for wading through punchlines to explain #ModernMonetaryTheory. It’s never been a “theory;” it’s how money is created to fund govt sanctioned programs. We always have money to solve big problems, given political will and resources.

This will (hopefully) never cease to be staggering to everyone else in the world.

It gets zero federal funding — try again Department of Grandstanding Edgelords.
