Still so surreal that RFK’s big actual “health” accomplishment on the board is “French fries made in a different kind of fat,” which sounds like a joke the Soviets would make about us

Let's all go back: homestarrunner.com/toons/backto...

what do you want

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

This ICE (derogatory) snitching (derogatory) app (derogatory) is actually a crypto (derogatory) meme (derogatory) coin (derogatory) pump-and-dump (derogatory) scheme (derogatory)

this is, if you can prove it, one of those old fashioned Big Time Fraud Crimes. Like years *per* odometer

The argument in the text is they can’t accomplish their policy goal while following due process (and therefore the standards should flex). That’s a general purpose argument for fascism, not one specific to immigration.

me learning the full name of one of Trump's Attorneys General first term was Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, like how does your name smell like slavery

vance is a detestable liar and an open enemy of the constitution. the central load bearing factual claim here is completely false and even if it wasn’t the constitution contains two explicit guarantees of due process

It’s so funny to me that these people run to the government for help when their unregulated libertarian scams backfire. Waste of judicial resources imo!

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

couldn't find this clip anymore so i watched an hour of Siskel and Ebert on Letterman clips to find it. wow. here it is: why Gene didn't like Free Willy

It's baaaaaaaaack!

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

there's so many layers of fraud and abuse in this story that "someone might have been trying to log into the NLRB's systems with a valid Doge username and password from russia" doesn't even make it into the first 5,000 words

Oh hey, it appears they've found a new way to encourage desperate selloffs of US treasuries! I am in awe of the strategic brilliance of this master plan. (this targets more than just Canadians - it's any country they want to target for this)

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.
