All I Know I Learned From Star Trek

In which Patton Oswalt tells Jay Mohr Joe Rogan is like the new L Ron Hubbard

🎪 “Justice Department told a federal judge the final indictment against Comey was never shown to the full grand jury… The indictment was obtained by Lindsey Halligan, who had no previous experience as a federal prosecutor…”

The Trump regime, folks.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with MTG 100%.

And for the record, I’m not paid for any of my opinions. Never have been, never will be.

Hayes: There are some people I have seen who who have the following theory: Schumer is worried about a primary challenge from you

AOC: This is so not about me in this moment. This is about people being able to insure their children.

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration?

Banana republic shit

Screenshot that says Hepatitis B Vaccines VOTE: All pregnant women should be tested for hepatitis B infection. VOTE: The pediatric vaccine schedule should be updated to reflect the following change: • If a mother tests HBsAG-negative: • The first dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine is not given until the child is at least one month old. • Infants may receive a dose of hepatitis B vaccine before one month according to individual based decision-making.* *Also referred to as shared decisionmaking

Yes, ACIP will end hepatitis B vaccines for infants at birth today, and despite his speech about the importance of these vaccines yesterday, Bill Cassidy won’t do damned thing about it.

This is from the ACIP page for their anticipated votes today.

This will, as ever harm the most vulnerable.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening.

It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.
These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

If you're enforcing the law, show your face. As the son of a cop, brother to two, and a former prosecutor, I know credibility comes with transparency—not terror.

Breaking: A federal judge just placed a *new* nationwide block on Trump's birthright citizenship order to follow the Supreme Court's decision.

Judge Joseph Laplante issued the temporary injunction after agreeing to a request from immigrant rights groups to certify a class-action lawsuit.

Masked Terror At this point, we have all seen the videos.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror.

It is insane, joe rogan. But you were warned repeatedly, yet you helped get him elected and helped let this happen. It’s good that you’re speaking up, but please be honest with yourself about the role you played here.

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)
