Everyone, remember to look really sad if you're out in public during Charlie Kirk's funeral. A smile could take your paycheck.

Sure. I'm in Portland now. Tell me who the local leaders are, and how I find them.

A couple thoughts as a reporter who's been covering RFK Jr and watched today's hearing with fired CDC director Susan Monarez

1) the biggest things I heard today were about the CDC's childhood vaccine schedule.

Monarez testified that RFK Jr told her he talks to Trump "every day" about changing it.

Shooting a CEO whose career was based on making people's lives worse is not the same as shooting a political activist with a flair for low brow discourse.

This is Ms. Lacari and Mr. Trump, two people who have tried to pass their misdeeds off as "deep cover" attempts. I sardonically refer to them as Deep Cover Legends.

I don't know which one of you told them they weren't allowed to ogle blonde women in ads, but they really haven't taken it well.

🚨🚨🚨 Jeffrey Epstein during a 2010 deposition:

Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of
18?
A: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.

During the Iraq War, were you upset about foreign bands coming to America to play concerts for us? If not, keep Ozzy's name out of your catty, braindead mouth, you snarky little bitch.

The US Is Storing Migrant Children’s DNA in a Criminal Database Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

My Canadian relatives refuse to come down as long as this bozo is in charge, and one encouraged us to move up there, but I'm sure the rest of Canada just can't wait to spend over a trillion dollars to implement a technology that couldn't protect Maine from Greenland.

This doesn't seem to have a "leftists just need to believe in themselves" solution. Do we need to wait for them to crash the economy again?

South Africa is better at picking presidents than America is.

The man with the nuclear codes walked into a wall. 😬

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat.

In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

For those confused by the China tariff news:

• Trump caved and got zero in return
• No manufacturing moved back to the USA
• 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans
• 90 day pause still causes uncertainty
• Trump lost all negotiating leverage

It's a real missed opportunity that Legoland hotel guests don't have to build their own beds.

begging for money on the internet after calling a child racial slurs? these are gutter people raised in gutter families with a rotten, rancid culture

The price increase for something that will taste the same after spending five years in a cellar might not be as big a concern as the price increase on something that will only last a few weeks.

I'm surprised they didn't include one of the "he allows us to say 'Merry Christmas' again" lines.

A Fox News graphic with the headline "President Trump's accomplishments" and three bullet points: Declassified the JFK Files; ended federal support for paper straws; ended production of the penny

In Trump's first 100 days, he alienated us from our allies, crashed the stock market, decimated U.S. cancer research, expelled American toddlers, lost the Canadian election by proxy, and threatened your Social Security checks.

But at least he focused on the important stuff.

The worst part is that we could've put all of this behind us.

Fyre sale: After Fyre Festival 2 is postponed, promoter announces brand is up for grabs Billy McFarland said he was selling the brand because it has become “bigger than any one person and bigger than what I’m able to lead on my own.”

Having promoted concerts in my youth, I met a lot of Billy McFarlands. I knew one guy who had a Fyre Festival-like event and left DURING the event to avoid paying his bills. I can go on, but this festival could very well keep screwing people. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer

Is Gen Z done experimenting with Republican politics yet?

Deafening Silence From The Cybersecurity Industry Chris Krebs affirmed the 2020 election was secure. Now he's the target of an Executive Order—and the cybersecurity industry’s silence is enabling a dangerous precedent.

I'm in another group that's fucking up. www.forbes.com/sites/tonybr...

Is there an international ethnonationalist movement brewing on K2-18b? I'm asking for a friend who might want to move there.

Tesla sales haven't declined THAT much, and let's be honest: Trump fans aren't the ones buying them.

Basing this sort of thing off emissions standards instead of culture war stereotypes would be a better approach to public policy, in my opinion.

Consider joining the Socialist Rifle Association if you are interested. I haven't heard any of these "eww, yucky poor people" arguments from them.

So you don't think any of the people proposing this are carpenters in Central Oregon?
