- How much US-bound fentanyl comes from South America? (none)

We all need credibly sourced information right now. And here is a new @wola-org.bsky.social fact sheet:

What is it like inside your head?

"It’s essential that autistic people, regardless of age, have a way to communicate. Spoken words should not be valued above other methods, & AAC should never be taken away by parents, teachers, or caregivers. For many autistic people, using alternatives to speech is not a choice – it’s a lifeline."

Government shutdowns should have names like hurricanes. I’m going to call this one Government Shutdown Donald.

someone ending a cogent and thoughtful post with "check out my substack newsletter" is kinda like pleasantly discussing the weather with a stranger at a dinner party and he pauses in mid conversation to shit a swastika on the table

Was Lindsey Halligan Validly Appointed as United States Attorney? | National Review As I understand the facts, it seems highly doubtful that Lindsey Halligan has been validly appointed as United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. If her appointment is invalid, so…

I had missed this post from Ed Whelan questioning whether Lindsey Halligan was even validly appointed in the first place. One minor point: Whelan says that the 1986 Alito memo "might not be in the public domain," but in fact it is, thanks to the Alina Habba litigation!

Armed Guards and Muscle Milk: Senate Investigation Reveals DOGE Takeover Details A new Senate report claims DOGE put every American's Social Security number at risk—and that officials at federal agencies essentially obstructed an investigation, all but denying DOGE even exists.

A new senate report is full of *shocking* details about DOGE activities inside the federal government. Including, unfortunately, the disturbing access that DOGE affiliates had to our SSNs:

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year:
“Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

Let ABC know how you feel about their bowing to the thugs in power and cancelling Jimmy Kimmel's show: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

Proof that you can circle too far back.

There are no police bodycam videos of cops taking in executives who cheat workers out of pay en masse I take it?

I am not built for lengthy to do lists.

You want me to believe someone in Special Ops walks around with their phone at 30%

As long as you let me have “buttercream narwhal”

Ew. Yuck.

The way the body knows before we do, even after so many years. Gets me every time.

That makes way more sense.

Whose bright idea was it that I take 5 law classes in my first semester back in school after approximately 3 million years? Good lordt
