Omg completely completely agree. I prostate myself in acknowledgement of the great importance of your comment. Enough with the endorphin heroin of these impromptu videos. I WANT TO READ IT

It’s been that kind of week.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

Gallego: Lutnick knew he did something wrong because he lied about it. So clearly, you did something wrong. You knew you were doing something wrong. You should not have been associating with this man — and yet you did.

And now we’re supposed to believe everything you say when you’ve already lied?

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

REP. BALINT: “This is not a game, Secretary!”

BONDI: “I’m Attorney General.”

REP. BALINT: “My apologies. I couldn’t tell.” 🔥

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

Ghislaine Maxwell’s refusal to answer questions before Congress draws criticism: ‘Who is she protecting?’ Democratic representative says Epstein associate’s decision to invoke fifth amendment points to ‘White House cover-up’

Maxwell is publicly offering Trump a choice: (1) Grant me clemency and I'll lie to protect you, or (2) deny my request and I'll tell the truth about your crimes as a pedophile.

If Congress wants, they can short-circuit her game by granting her immunity on the condition that she tells the truth.

Trump’s Online Drugstore Opens for Business

Once again Trump helps Big Pharma while masquerading as a consumer crusader. His phony scheme offers no legal protections—letting the price gougers themselves determine prices and coverage. He targets only a few drugs, many of which already have cheaper generic alternatives.

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics

Good times.

Used leggings?? Huge cringe factor.

Yes!

Who's going to clean the bathrooms at Mar-A-Lago?

Maybe Republicans don't want to "push granny off the cliff." But they do want to push granny's caregiver off the cliff. lnk.thebulwark.com/4afElyp

I learned to steek Fair Isle knitting by making a drop shoulder children's Fair Isle sweater. Great way to learn new things. Have fun!
