High Watah with one solid number. Now gotta go grab some poke and something to drink.

I worked in social services for 15 years. Homeless, or housing insecurity, is most common when foster youth age out and have no shelter system access, which you want to gut further. Also, many are LGBTQ kids thrown out of their homes by their bigoted parents. Also something you have experience with.

Daniel Penny’s first media interview was with Jeanine Pirro. I mean, that just says a lot.

search "Daniel Penny is a hero" to add to your block lists.

In my book, Twilight of Democracy, I described how autocratic regimes use conspiracy theories as loyalty tests.

Of the last 5 Senate-confirmed SecDefs (Austin, Esper, Mattis, Carter, Hagel) 4 are frontline combat veterans. Three were decorated for valor and one was 2x wounded. So spare me this hero costume shit. Funnily enough many people would agree the best of those 5 was civvie-4-life Ash Carter.

I kind of think a lot of bad behaviour in general in America is aided by this feeling (that is, that you shouldn't tell somebody not to do something anti-social because they might have a gun)

Faith Nathan and Kiiahla Duff in rugby sevens thriller. Australia won their fifth Dubai Sevens title in a row.

"It’s difficult to imagine a candidate less suited to carry out the DNI’s mission, and that’s very likely why Trump chose her. Few political figures have amassed as curious a record of rightwing culture warring, faux progressivism, & conspiracism as extensive as Gabbard." - @davidrlurie.bsky.social

Already bracing for funding cuts under a new Trump administration, U.S. Treasury officials are calling on Congress to unlock $20 billion in #IRS enforcement money that is tied up in legislative language that has effectively rendered the money frozen.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Celebrate and rejoice with me. The buffalo population is slowly coming back. 🪶🦬

This account is an imposter. Report it for impersonating the real Tamsyn Muir and block.

"By electing Trump, voters opted for more crude misogyny in public life. The president-elect quickly delivered on that mandate with obscene proposals like putting Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth in top posts."

Let’s run the government like a business, drive the car like a bicycle, and play the guitar like a piano

Kendrick Lamar: GNX review – stunning surprise from a rapper determined to be the greatest

Rep.-elect Sarah McBride: "I didn't run to be a first. I didn't run to make history. I ran to serve the state that I love and to deliver for Delawareans."

Tammy Duckworth on Tulsi Gabbard: "I think she's compromised ... Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset."

It was a tough loss for the Fijians in Dublin. Teenage sensation Setareki Turagacoke, a former Lelean whose game has progressed through Fiji Rugby’s High-Performance Unit (HPU), scored a try in his second International.

It's Aloha Friday!

Tulsi Gabbard’s been MAGA all her life. DNC in Hawaii gave Gabbard a chance that kick-started a career in public service. Mormons and some change by the Catholic Church bankrolled the ‘Vote Traditional Marriage’ campaign video you see here.

Feels like Twitter ca. 2007 here.

Nancy Mace has now posted 262 times on X in the last 36 hours about the bathroom.

Using a WWE female executive to dismantle the Department of Education is peak 80's.

content warning for those who want to read. this is really ugly.

Which party is obsessed with "Identity politics" again? I'm confused.

This explains why conservative fear-mongering is such an easy play in America. — Ppl believe trans ppl make up 21% of the population (Real number: 1%) — Ppl believe Black ppl make up 41% of the nation (real number 12%) — Ppl believe Jewish ppl make up 30% of the nation (Real number, 2%)

Mediaite obtained the police report of the Pete Hegseth alleged sexual assault incident. The details are horrific and should be disqualifying.

How bathroom bans actually work.

When businesses talk about ending government “overreach” they’re usually talking about screwing their customers over

Same person

The speed at which Blue Sky is recreating the essential Twitter resistor ecosystem can't be overstated. They're all here. Everyone who spent the last nine years opposing the Marmalade Menace over on the Bad Place are already plugged in here, sending skeets. And the audience seems to be following.

And once again, this is the administration elected by the people who insisted that the *Democrats* were secretly guilty of sex crimes

all she did was exist

JJ Williamson's ‘everyone can't go to heaven’ set is hilarious.
