I like to think this Riyadh festival is a big Ocean’s 11 style caper designed to help Pete Davidson avenge his father.

Unions sue Trump admin over mass layoff plan during government shutdown Labor unions argued the administration's actions are "contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious."

We’re done being treated like disposable pawns. Trump’s threats to fire federal workers during a shutdown are reckless and we’re fighting back in court. Workers keep this country running. We won’t back down.✊

No clue what it means, but at least they acknowledge that this grown ass man gets up every morning and paints himself orange. Seems like progress???

That's adorable. You still think they're rules. You probably believe Congress and the Supreme Court will hold trump accountable.

Smith and Garland slow walked the investigation. Smith wasn't appointed until 2022. They had fours years to get something done. Why did they just stop the indictments and prosecution after the election in 2024?

Maybe Jack Smith should have done something while he had the chance?

“Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets,” a statement from the company read.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

Hey @thejoedante.bsky.social and @mickgarris.bsky.social I'm using BlueSky for the first time to try and get to the bottom of this cuz I can't find any info about it online. In this shot from The Howling, clearly Mick Garris is on the couch but is the woman an uncredited cameo by Monique Gabrielle?!

Mark Snow, ‘X-Files,’ ‘Ghost Whisperer,’ ‘Blue Bloods’ Composer, Dies at 78 Mark Snow, the veteran television composer who turned "The X-Files" theme into an unlikely chart hit in the 1990s has died. He was 78.

Aw, this sucks. His X-Files score is one of the great TV scores, I think. An example of using way less to do way more, and when the show needed Snow to lay on things a little more heavily, he was more than up to the task. RIP.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

'Shoot a couple': MAGA activists call for violence against 'No Kings' protesters Members of several far-right MAGA-affiliated groups are now urging members to carry out acts of violence against protesters during Saturday's "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump's admin...

I hope they can dodge bullets, if some asshole wants to shoot at me or other protesters I will return the favor. Like I have been saying shit is going to get real.

Newsom: I told the president, just get it over with. Arrest me. Move on. If you need someone’s head to scalp, then do it with me. But stop messing with these kids. Stop messing with four-year-olds. Kids in elementary school

I'd *like* to be extremely concerned about the marines being deployed to an American city and the scientific committee that determines vaccine schedules being disbanded, but I'm gonna hold off until the Distraction Knowers give the okay

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Newsom should simultaneously call out the California National Guard to defend against the unconstitutional fascist federal police state that is illegally trying to overthrow our sovereign state and local governments

#statesrights #statemilitia #possecomitatus #tenthamendment #californiarepublic

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Have you ordered the State Police to open an investigation into the kidnapping?
