Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

St. Paul solved more crimes, had drastically fewer homicides in 2025 A remarkable shift is under way in St. Paul. The city is on track for a 70 percent drop in homicides by the end of 2025. And they’re solving more than 70 percent of crimes.

Bill Bramhall is the cartoonist of the moment.

Now that Ward 4 voting has closed, I can finally start taking about my new local election hobbyhorse:

In Saint Paul in November, we are all going to vote Yes on the Referendum question on Administrative Citations so that we can finally be normal like every other city in Minnesota

Seriously though can a person explode from rage? Asking for myself and many of us. (Just read the actual quote from RFK Jr.)

At the end of the day, if the “concern” you have about your country or neighbourhood is that there are too many Black or Brown people living there, then that is racism. Yearning to make the place you live more white is, in fact, white supremacy. Just saying.

It's hard to overestimate how much unnecessary pain and death in children is going to be caused by the Trump administration telling everyone Tylenol causes autism. Kids are going to suffer. There's not even a joke here.

Pediatric Brain Cancer Group to Lose Federal Funding

These are my patients. Kids dying of brain cancer. Kids and families desperate for treatment and hoping to find a cure through experimental therapies. Trump is dismantling science and children with brain tumor are the victims. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.”

Hitler famously ended vaccine mandates and gassed autistic people. There’s a straight line between here and there.

The firefighter, whose name has not been made public, has lived in the US for 19 years after arriving with his family at the age of four. He received a U-visa certification from the US attorney's office in Oregon in 2017 and submitted his U-visa application with US Citizenship and Immigration Services the following year. The U-visa program was established by Congress to protect victims of serious crimes who assist federal investigators, and the man has been waiting since 2018 for the immigration agency to decide on his application, according to Stephen Manning, a lawyer with Innovation Law Lab, a Portland-based nonprofit representing the firefighter. Another homeland security policy says agents cannot detain people who are receiving or have applied for victim-based immigration benefits, his lawyer said. Charging the man with an immigration violation was "an illegal after-the-fact justification" given his U-visa status.

Seriously?

Children murdered because they went to school.

Seniors shots because they went to mass.

Public servants assassinated because they chose to serve.

When will it be enough for us to decide that we deserve better? To acknowledge that we, quite literally, cannot live like this?
