careful, if it wasn't actually the 99th, you can expect legal action.

Aristocracy has been tried and unfortunately it has always been found wanting. Inherited wealth almost guarantees that it will fail.

Is it surprising? He wrote The Road Ahead, purporting to provide a map of the future of computing, in 1995 and failed to foresee the explosion of the Web, which had already begun by the publication date. And THAT was his area of expert knowledge, unlike climate!

“in my official capacity as the head of the FBI, i demand that you stop talking about my girlfriend” is some profoundly embarrassing and unprofessional shit, and that’s before you remember no one *is* talking about his girlfriend, they’re talking about him taking FBI jets to see her

also, his dog voted but the dog threw up his homework at the polling station.

Not quite the same. What they did to USAID is appalling, but could a President be charged with killing millions because he didn't *double* USAID's budget? Even more lives could have been saved. What is the correct amount of aid to not be called a murderer? Cheney affirmatively killed without reason.

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

I hope future generations recognize how quickly and strangely the contours of what counts as a political scandal changed for this president.

It reads to me like his main sin was getting in the way of a new "rapid approval" process that Makary is pushing. It's hard to know who the bad guys are in this nest of vipers.

FDA’s top drug regulator resigns amid investigation George Tidmarsh, the FDA's top drug regulator, has been placed on leave after being accused of abusing his regulatory authority, STAT has learned.

All of these people are so grievously unqualified, it’s incredible.

What a disaster administration. Makary was literally praising this Stanford guy on his podcast 3 months ago.

“Such an impressive resume. Just impeccable credentials,” he said, beaming.

Arrest and quarantine him. This is what they used to do to people like this before there were vaccines.

“Art Deco doesn’t go with, you know, 1850 and civil wars and all of the problems,” Mr. Trump said. “But what does is statuary marble. So I ripped it apart and we built the bathroom. It’s absolutely gorgeous and totally in keeping with that time.”

This is like Drunk History meets This Old House

holy crap I went and looked up the Myers segment on youtube and this is even funnier bc a lot of it is about how trump accuses anyone who criticizes him of treason. and trump immediately proves his point with this post.

The Pennsylvania State House went blue again after years of GOP control. Was it because of moving to the center? No, it was because activists won a court case that forced the drawing of fair districts.

Because of gerrymandering, though. States are getting things like 13-4 GOP majority seats on 51% of votes.

Tweet from John Podhoretz reading: "My mother was a Heritage board member for 40 years. You have befouled her, you rancid wretch of an amoeba." quoting Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, tweeting: "There has been speculation that @Heritage is distancing itself from @TuckerCarlson over the past 24 hours. I want to put that to rest right now—here are my thoughts:"

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

RFK, Jr. claims that Donald Trump is one of the most empathetic people he's ever known, which means RFK, Jr. is one of the stupidest people to ever exist and/or one of the most shameless liars to ever exist.

Let me excerpt the concluding paragraph:

He thinks it's an authentic Lincoln-period bathroom now. ROFL.

Her chart appears to show a sharp increase in SNAP during the worst of the pandemic (can't read the timeline but surely beginning under Trump 45) and then a scaling back down as the pandemic somewhat abated and jobs came back.

Exactly as SNAP is supposed to work.

Blue Collar (1978)

“They pit the lifers against the newboys, the young against the old, the black against the white, everything they do is to keep us in our place.”

An increase of $13 a month? I'm sure millions of Americans wish they lived in whatever alternative timeline Dr. Oz is because the truth is that premiums are going to double, or worse!

Oz has clearly not even looked at the ACA marketplace—which is crazy, BECAUSE THAT IS HIS JOB.

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

Will Oliver even bother scripting a response to this or will he just present it without comment on his show?

Is this still going? Adams and Cuomo tell lies and have scandals constantly, but we have to waste time defending Mamdani against calling a first cousin once-removed his aunt?

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

at least not with any vaccine technology we have to this point.

It wasn't just a vaccine-strain mismatch. Herd immunity was never happening with this virus, though we didn't know that at the time he made that statement.
