Forgot about George Santos. How quaint

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

🚨 GOP judges, in partisan ruling, have decided to disenfranchise voters in the NC Supreme Court race. 60,000+ voters-who did nothing wrong-have just 15 days to cure ballots. Otherwise, their votes will be tossed. Most harmed will be overseas soldiers. Are YOU on this list? #ncpol thegriffinlist.com

I guess I never wanted to retire anyway

No amount of scrolling can find stock market news at Fox News

Remember that group chat with all the war plans and emojis? Are we just moving on from that or…

A student referred to my class today as “trauma class” (we’re in our memoir unit) 😬

The Trump administration recently denied a funding request from the city of Asheville, North Carolina, to help its recovery from Hurricane Helene, telling the city it must cut a program meant to aid female and minority contractors. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

Living in the mountains means no hurricanes, no tornadoes…

What’s the stage of life called where you take on extra paying gigs so that you can buy a robot litter box?

I looked so you don’t have to: no mention whatsoever of the stock market on the foxnews homepage

A new archive project is seeking oral histories, art, voice recordings, videos, and photographs from the disaster. www.bpr.org/bpr-news/202...

Yes, NPR, this is the hard hitting journalistic question I want answered about a *firing squad* execution in the year 2025

It got understandably buried w/ Zelensky news, but thought our story ysd was pretty big - Trump DHS pushing for the IRS to produce taxpayer info to assist w/ deportations IRS officials pointing to law saying taxpayer data can only be used for tax purposes www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

All the clown wants to do is make reality TV

Sometimes I wonder if Elon Musk took some rich-person dare to see how outwardly villainous he could become before he is stopped. Just billionaires playing around

I see we’re extorting Ukraine. Cool cool cool.

This is a helpful reminder about who the majority really is, but can’t help but feel shocked that nearly 40% of Americans are okay with ending birthright citizenship.

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

Weird. It’s almost like he’s been undoing all the regulations and our president is a convicted felon.

Are all the girlies working on edits at Denny’s on a Friday night or nah?
