This week’s cover of New York Magazine is absolutely brutal.

U.S. measles cases continue to climb, with outbreaks across the country In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.

Thanks a bunch, you anti-vaxxer dipshit fucks.

If you’re in the Eastern District of Virginia and you get a jury summons, maybe don’t sit this one out. You could end up on a Jim Comey or Tish James case.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat.

I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Share my name.

LITERAL GOLD. Thank you for making this, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social.

Bless all the people who ripped RFK Jr. a new asshole today.

Trump and everybody in his White House can kiss my ass!

This week the President of the United States walked around on the roof of The White House and yelled about nuclear weapons in a desperate bid to distract from allegations that he is a child sex trafficker.

We said release the files not the accomplices, idiot.

Hey Jake Tapper, fodder for your next book!👇

Furious.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

Trump is mentally unwell, on top of cognitive decline *w/a vile, incompetent staff*. He's unhinged. 25thA-level.

All we have to do is read transcripts. There's a reason the WH has yanked them & now fails to provide them for Felon47.

The media is complicit.

Under Texas’ Abortion Ban, Where a Woman Lives Can Determine Her Risk of Developing Sepsis While the rates of dangerous infections spiked across the state after it banned abortion in 2021, women in Houston fared far worse than those in Dallas, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind ana...

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

This!

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Why Did a Charity Tied to Casey DeSantis Suddenly Get a $10 Million Boost? The Hope Florida Foundation quietly gave the money to two nonprofit political committees that helped Gov. Ron DeSantis and his allies defeat a ballot measure.

A charity tied to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s wife, Casey DeSantis, gave $10 million to nonprofit political committees that helped the governor defeat a ballot measure.

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House.

You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration.

Let me repeat that.

You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

I didn’t want this to happen.

I voted for the smart black lady.

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril.

Keep threatening Americans.

The protests will only get bigger.

Trump is hated.

Musk is hated.

The political winds have shifted.

People are fed up.

This is only the beginning.

National Security Agency and Cyber Command chief Gen. Timothy Haugh ousted The director of the NSA, the powerful wiretapping and cyber espionage service, was fired Thursday, according to U.S. officials.

The NSA director and his deputy fired in the middle of the night. The chances this happened because they refused an order from Trump and Hegseth to do something illegal are pretty high. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”

She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

When I got a PhD in nineteenth-century political history, I really, truly never imagined I would have to find a way to explain to readers what an eggplant emoji means. (Wired reported more Signalgate Venmo accounts.) I yearn for the day when I can write about good, clean fun like tax policy again.

Urge Congress: Protect Public Media Funding With growing calls to defund public media and new threats emerging, now is a critical time to tell Congress to protect your local stations.

Todays Congressional hearing called to defund public media. Tell Congress NO

Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.
