“‘I think you hit one,’ one says.

Then comes a shout: ‘Hell, yeah, boy!’”

Hospitals, pharma, doctors, medical devices, health insurers, PBMs — the entire health care industry has crushed working households through higher prices and out-of-pocket spending, to the point that health care is a bigger expense than a mortgage. bsky.app/profile/lydi...

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

Find a queer hairdresser. I have literally found one by asking everyone I knew locally if they knew any gay hairdressers. Unfortunately my friend of many years who did our hair died recently.

I will say as someone who has ordered Rosmei titles from you, I am willing to pay the higher cost in future. You obviously can't help the tariffs and we don't want you to go under!

If the presidents foreign policy approach is assisting Russia there’s a certain logic to this

The State of Democracy Requires Us to Expand the Map From Marc | Republicans are counting on us to ignore what’s happening in the states they control.

That means conducting a nationwide review of voting barriers in all 50 states. It means dedicating resources to challenge laws that disenfranchise voters. And it means having the political will to fight for the right to vote everywhere, regardless of how competitive a state appears today.

Sickened by Nick Frost being here. These people are all dead to me. Promoting and participating in the work of a hate-monger says only one thing: you like money more than people.

Trump and DOGE Are 'Trying to Get Around' Privacy Laws to Gather Your Personal Info Donald Trump and DOGE want access to the personal data and information of nearly everyone in the country, including legal and undocumented immigrants.

It is darkly hilarious that the US lacks a compulsory national identification card (closest we have is SSN, which is not supposed to be used for ID - says so right on the card) because people go bonkers over privacy and other items, yet this is going on behind the scenes right now:

Having a normal one

I'm not an expert, but I'd start with loose wefts and just gluing them down to the wig cap. Or start with a straight wig, and glue the wefts down and use extra wefts to make the rolls.

And this criminal is still in office because Republicans love crime.

can we take a moment to celebrate the magnificent economy of the phrase "dipshit sex pest failsons asking chatgpt to regurgitate a trade policy for them"

Trump Family’s Cash Registers Ring as Financial Meltdown Plays Out (Gift Article) The party was on at a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament at the president’s Doral resort in Florida and a fund-raiser at Mar-a-Lago, even as markets tumbled.

Even as the stock market crashed, President Trump was in Florida at his Doral golf resort and Mar-a-Lago club helping pump up family businesses, evidence that Trump continues to monetize the presidency. A NYT behind-the-scenes look with Theodore Schleifer and Zolan Kanno-Youngs nyti.ms/3XPqyIa

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Attended the Hands Off protest in deep red Brenham, TX. Great turnout and lots of passerby support. Great time! #handsoff

Just unimportant things like Reading. History. Morality. Now that I think of it, I get why these guys hate them.

As a Californian — born and raised in the city limits of Los Angeles — who also spent a lot of time growing up in London, Brooklyn, and the DC metro, let me say that now that I live in New Hampshire, I fully appreciate how dipshit “liberal big city folk” are to people in small, rural “red” areas.

DOJ directs prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione 1 hour ago CAH CNN Gunman who killed 23 in racist attack at Texas Walmart offered plea deal to avoid death penalty

Huh, weird

Whether it's liberal students booing Charles Murray or conservative presidents sending innocent fathers to die in El Salvadoran torture prisons, there's been plenty of incivility on both sides of the political spectrum.

Not for nothing, but you could run a game of D&D via filibuster.

"Will the Senator yield for a question?"

"I yield for a question without yielding the floor."

"Can I shove the gargoyle?"

"Roll for strength."

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

What Booker's doing right now is useful, but only if you use it. Every call, office visit, demonstration, every voice raised right now carries added weight. You have criticisms of him? Join the club. But if that's what you're using this moment to voice, you're the one who's failing the moment.

WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS HELP? YOU HAPPY GOP VOTERS?

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
