The triumph of bullshit Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Who pissed on your corn flakes?

Well, good. Honestly, I can't quite get why I keep reading stuff that implies the past few seasons were some kind of travesty. I thought Ncuti Gatwa and the crew did a great job, and the RT scores agree, but there's this fog of negativity around the coverage that really strikes me as undeserved.

A federal judge has denied OpenAI's request to dismiss a copyright suit from George R. R. Martin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, John Grisham and other authors.

The judge says that text generated by ChatGPT may infringe their copyrights.

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Yesterday, I took to the House Floor to ask for Unanimous Consent to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva.

Speaker Johnson isn’t just silencing one Representative. He’s silencing 800,000 people in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

SWEAR HER IN.

The cost of this ballroom just goes up and up and up by millions every single day.

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian."

He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

More shit Mike Johnson doesn’t know.

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

Republican stumbles when confronted with GOP senator's remarks undercutting Trump claim

Six days left and a whole lotta doors to knock.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

"Donald Trump is coddling assassins."

-Miles Taylor, moments ago, with @nicollewallace.bsky.social

Killing people on the open seas without a declaration of war is mass murder.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is advocating for Flock surveillance cameras, sometimes using false or misleading claims. His claim that Flock cameras solved a missing woman's murder is not true. Her mother tells our @spencersoicher.bsky.social she is "shocked and appalled" by the Mayor's claim.

We’re in a very dark place and I’m scared for our nation. I think that apartment complex in Chicago was a test. They will move on from immigrants soon. People need be to be prepared. We should act NOW!

“This has NOTHING to do with the SHUTDOWN. The law REQUIRES and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption.

So that is a DECISION the president is making on his own to ALLOW people to go HUNGRY." - Senator Peter Welch on SNAP Cuts

🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election.

The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls.

Huge if true.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

ICE are thug trash.

The U.S. is experiencing its highest wave of layoffs since 2020, with close to a million workers losing their jobs this year.

Two days ago, my wife and I packed up our entire lives into 7 suitcases and moved to Portugal.

Here's what I've learned in the months that led us to this point. youtube.com/shorts/QxeUH...

When I adopted Jake, I didn’t realize how much we’d help each other heal.

His owner had passed away resulting in him being surrendered. Soon after adopting him, my brother passed.

We both lost our people, but we’ve found comfort in each other. I love you, Jakey.

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇
