VINTAGE LUNCHBOX MEGATHREAD! There is something deeply, nostalgic about the artwork on old lunchboxes. They meet at the crossroads of childhood, food, pop culture, & school/friends. Every day, for as long as I feel like, I'll be adding a new lunchbox to this thread! TMNT-1989 (My first lunchbox!)

Fine. I will be the Joe Rogan of the left. Step one: the DNC pays me 400,000 USD annually. Step two: I make Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer eat bugs on a game show and smoke weed.

BREAKING: This is unusual trading by a politican. Representative Greg Landsman sold up to $50,000 of United Health, $UNH, on 03/26/2025. Since, $UNH is down 53%, and it was disclosed that the DOJ was investigating $UNH for possible Medicare fraud. He sits on the House Subcommittee of Health.

Looking forward to traveling to Cedar Rapids on Tuesday for our town hall with @votevets.org. If you can't join us in person but want to tune in virtually, sign up here to watch the livestream:

Can this dude just fuck his cappuccino machine and leave the rest of us alone?

This administration is now deliberately targeting our own most vulnerable children to score political points with its base.

On this Happy Easter, we give thanks to President Trump for providing us with golden eggs, hatched from Christ himself directly in the barn of John Wayne, because American riches have resurrected once again.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

“Regulate classroom discussion” is a hell of a phrase

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

is that bad? Seems bad

Sen. Ruben Gallego tells me his NO on the House funding bill means he will also vote NO to advance it procedurally. “Yeah, I don’t get cute with this shit.”

Chuck Schumer looked Ady Barkan in the eye and said he was going to work really hard to include home care in Build Back Better. He had already signed a deal with Manchin to exclude it. Ma'am, if you decide to run, I'm all in.

getting what done? he's not doing anything.

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

Scrap the cap

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.
