I have two of these up on an embankment behind my house. You think you're all done with yard cleanup, and then WHAM, those effers drop their whole load of leaves everywhere.

@treasurydept.bsky.social Secretary says the Supreme Court should declare Trump's IEEPA tariff policy legal because... it's one of Trump's "signature policies."
Now, I'm not a lawyer but I don't think that is actually in the Constitution.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

This was really clever and actually informative.

Explosive article:
White House fires FHFA inspector general. (FHFA head Pulte is playing key role in Trump's vindictive prosecutions.) IG was trying to turn over "constitutionally required" info to EDVa prosecutors & letter to lawmakers saying Pulte not cooperating.

They mention it, but like way way down. 🙄

I love how they ignored the boycott over abandoning Black and LGBTQ+ initiatives in the promo (haven't read the article yet) and just call it an outcome of a worsening economy.

No assholes, Target's been sinking since Feb. 🙄

Wtf? The big story on Target was them abandoning Black and LGBTQ+ shoppers and small businesses, and getting boycotted to death starting in Feb. This isn't about the more recent economic woes.

1. Plaintiffs filed a motion for expedited discovery to compel Defendants to produce all video footage responsive to Plaintiffs’ requests for production Nos. 2 & 5 as ordered by the Court for the incident October 23, 2025 in Little Village, Chicago, where Defendant Bovino himself deployed tear gas munitions into a crowd. Dkt. 152. 2. As Plaintiffs motion pointed out, Defendants have posted video montages of this incident to social media. Id. ¶¶3-4. Plaintiffs pointed out that Defendants social media included what appears to be body worn camera footage “as well as drone footage” from the October 23rd incident in Little Village. Id. The two cited DHS social media videos a relevant to this suit. One Calls the events in Little Village a “riot,” id. n.2, while another purports to depict a rock being thrown at Bovino, id. n.1. 3. The court granted the motion, and required Defendants to produce “both BWC and drone footage” from the “use of force incidents on 10/30/2025 in the Little Village neighborhood” by 9pm on October 29, 2025. Dkt. 159. 4. Defendants refuse to comply with this Court’s unequivocal order. Specifically, Defendants have simply refused to produce drone footage from Little Village, despite the Court ordering its production and despite the fact that the Defendants have used it in their social media to support their contentions that the violence in Little Village (and throughout this District) is justified.

Plaintiffs in the Chicago Headlines Club lawsuit claim that DHS is outright refusing to provide drone and BWC footage from a recent attack on peaceful protestors.

DHS is refusing to provide ANY drone footage which ... huh.

Remember when Cheney was head of W Bush's VP search committee and surprise, the search decided to pick Cheney? And that he was CEO of oil giant Halliburton at the time so they gave him a nice golden parachute of around 20M?

My 11-year-old subscribes to Teen Vogue and reads the newsletters almost daily. It's been a reliable source of news for her, and fodder for thoughtful dinner table discussions.

Now, it will serve a new role in our house--as an opportunity to learn about boycotting companies that let us down.

Really worth reading the entire 60 minutes interview transcript but admit this part got me laughing out loud.

Every time he says this, I'm 10000% sure he knows about the subject perfectly well.

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

yeah why might it be harder for someone to break 50% in a three-way race versus a two-way race. obviously it has something to do with ideology.

JFC.

Not a bad place to be for an incumbent. Especially one who's a little less famous than our other Senator. But @markey.senate.gov is well liked, and for good reason. It would be a downgrade to trade him for Moulton. A big downgrade!

I can’t help but notice how the media aggressively avoids interrogating what magical properties DC and Puerto Rico posses that prevent Republicans from being electorally competitive.

The corporate media isn't reflecting how unpopular Trump is right now, but his approval rating is primed to go even lower -- consumers are now feeling the price hikes from tariffs, the government shutdown has claimed SNAP, and ICE lawlessness is ramping up. At some point soon, it will break through.

for the record I was wrong. fuck schumer, impossible to read this as anything but pathetic boomer racism.

Anyone else believe her, hands?

Your average Subway 6-inch has an effective range of about 15 feet, making it best for CQC or a sidearm (side-sub?). For increased range and stopping power, you're going to want something baguette-based, like a Croque Monsieur.

I gafawed.

Also. Phone. Typing. Sucks.

Ok. Now I'm updated.

And it's a dumb as it seemed lieu to be.

OMG, I figured out the general context right now, but I'm guessing there's some quote from prosecution in today's hearing for DC sandwich guy that I missed. Whoof.

Am I the only one who feels triumph when I understand the context in which @kenwhite.bsky.social changes his display name, and a mix of heavy dread and FOMO when I *don't* understand why he did?? (Because I had to have missed some news, but in today's age, that news is likely awful?)
