I, too, would like to work four hours a day for the foreseeable future. Real commitment.

Fact: The duffles contain smaller, fatter Texas Guardsmen.

This is the picture that will define the coming darkness... and make it bearable with hilarity.

I really hate people who think they are self-deprecating and likable but are completely wrong.

What will the new Adam O'Nealโ€“hosted WaPo opinions podcast sound like for the next few decades? Maybe a little something like this x.com/WashPostComm...

Post Traumatic Disorder Adam Oโ€™Neal says heโ€™s bringing โ€œintellectual diversityโ€ to The Washington Postโ€™s opinion pagesโ€”but the moves heโ€™s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Emergency Triad: The Chicago Rubicon and What Comes Next We arenโ€™t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

In pursuit of murder suspect? That's good branding.

I know things are really bad right now, but the new Call of Duty comes out in less than a month, and half of these ICE goons will stop showing up for work.

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

Grim @radiofreetom.bsky.social assessment of Trump's march to authoritarianism: He's muzzled intelligence and purged lawyers and cops. "Only the military remains outside Trumpโ€™s grip...But for how long?" He's on the brink, and so are we. ๐ŸŽ

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I just watched a video of an ICE agent trying to find a costumed frog's rear air hole to stick pepper spray in it, and, like, why are we paying people to do this

Looking through my costume collection and I've narrowed it down to Dr. Doom or a Stormtrooper, either one is likely to get me a DHS recruitment offer.

Wish I could find my old Marduk "Fuck Me, Jesus" shirt... inflatable amphibian costumes are pretty pricey.

This is promising, but the obstacle course for Democrats remains: If Republicans do cave on some or all of the healthcare demands, do Democrats really vote to continue funding the rest of this illegal shit?

Pentagon chief Hegseth more interested in pushups than talking with Illinois leaders, Pritzker says The governor said the Trump administration is keeping him in the dark about immigration enforcement and National Guard deployments.

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trumpโ€™s military troops.

Just find a copy of Mussolini's "The Doctrine of Fascism" translated for incel morons. Exact same content, more entertaining.
