Personally I don't think we need to take all his titles from him

Aide: Mr President, the Epstein fallout is getting closer to you. It's all anyone talks about.

Trump: Fine. Release the X Files.

It’s times like these when Donald really wishes he had a shoulder to cry on from his best friend, Jeffrey Epstein

"Why won't the US Secretary of Health and Human Services put a shirt on?" is a question I never imagined asking quite so often.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

Tech is a culture

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

Elon Musk when he realizes putting people on the moon is difficult: Within 10 years we will put humans in Delaware

GUYS THERES AN ACTUALFACTS JOB!

What? EVERYONE hates the masks

It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry

This is a really detailed and extensive report.

tldr - immigrants' fiscal impact is so positive that it would be absolutely foolish to adopt anti-immigrant policies (which of course this administration is doing bc of racism)

Good's brother Luke Ganger begins by saying, "We're here to ask for your help."

They thought perhaps their sister's death would bring about positive change, but it has not.

He adds: "These encounters with federal agents are changing the community and changing many lives—including ours—forever."

The Influencer Who Spurred the Federal Crackdown on Minneapolis

Coordinating closely with the GOP, which paid him for his work, Nick Shirley caused a sensation with a video claiming to expose fraud at Somali-run day care centers in Minnesota. His claims were sensationalized on Fox and other outlets, but did not stand up to scrutiny.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

the Republican Party will get worse before it gets worse, but God willing it will also get a whole lot smaller

“.. It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” said one of the nurses .. “There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall.”

Assault, kidnapping, morally depraved conduct... just another morning in the life of an ICE agent.

Is it fascism yet?

HHS wasn't worried about South Carolina's measles outbreak. It's now enormous. “CDC is not currently concerned that this will develop into a large, long-running outbreak," the agency said in December.

A month later, it's the biggest since measles was declared eliminated. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Their leadership also refers to that restaurant as existing in a theater of war they’ve been deployed to

If you hurt our feelings, we will kill you.

Revealing a more nuanced understanding of administrative warrants than many stateside.

Tyranny. The major difference between the USA and other oppressive regimes right now is that the internet is not yet censored so we can all see and share video of this, but conservative purchases of Twitter and TikTok (and pressure on other social platforms) are trying to end that

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

they're killing Americans in the street and her response is to "negotiate to replace Noem with someone that doesn't skirt the filibuster"?

(no I have no idea what the fuck it means to have a cabinet secretary who "doesn't skirt the filibuster" and neither do you)
