The altered email messages included language saying: “Thank you for contacting me. On September 10, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse of appropriations, I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.”

Furloughed Department of Education workers have discovered their email accounts manipulated to include partisan talking points blaming the government shutdown on Democrats, per @nbcnews.com:

Nostalgia for the early 2000’s is obviously misplaced, but I do feel the loss of “friend’s older brother who is really into Sublime” as a human archetype has brought imbalance to the world. 2024 just has no true equivalent

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

The smearing of Garrett Foster The far right justifies political violence by villainizing a decent man

For no particular reason, I’ve been thinking about the guy who obsessed about killing racial justice protesters, searched online about killing racial justice protesters, & told friends he may kill a racial justice protester.

Then he killed a racial justice protester.

And Gregg Abbott pardoned him.

Jesus fucking Christ Jay shut the fuck up

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad.
Or wasn't, until now.

The Right is going increasingly masks-off and it's going to get uglier yet.

Fucking horrific to watch the governor, who is not an investigator, emerging every six hours to give live updates on whether or not the shooter was trans enough to murder your neighbors in revenge

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

oh trump is everywhere in those epstein files

normal FBI informant things

🚨🚨HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist.

Trump talks about a “wonderful secret” the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!

that’s what you see when you’re going to hell

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

In June, officials at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) moved a live copy of the Social Security Administration’s Numerical Identification System (NUMIDENT) into a cloud environment “without any independent security or oversight mechanisms in place,”

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

I think you may be misunderstanding the post my dear. He’s being facetious

You’re lovely, thank you for this!!

I gotcha. I’m somehow still feeling shocked every time I can’t spot it, and it only adds to my anxiety about our new reality. Thanks anyway!

I agree but how were you able to tell this was AI art as opposed to your average political cartoon?? Am I missing something obvious here?

The economy is so good that I'm firing the BLS Commissioner for reporting numbers so grim I refuse to believe them, and also demanding the Fed cut rates typically seen during a recession.

ITS FLAT FUCK FRIDAY

ROLL THE CLIP

YOU CAN TALK ABOUT BOTH!!!! The president being blackmailed by a Mossad pedo ring and being involved in human trafficking in the 90s with his fake modeling agency is a big fucking deal. Dems need to stop being lazy and do their fucking jobs.

I understand the instinct to say this but if we want the free Palestine movement to retain its integrity then we need to also tell the Nazis to fuck off. Palestinians have enough on their plate and we owe it to them to not do anything that would damage the movement on US soil

$4 trillion.

democrats who are insisting that gavin newsom is the future of the party don’t understand how badly they are shooting themselves in the head, you will lose so many LGBTQ people

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

DOJ slides into DMs of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell They're gonna make her an offer she can't refuse.

"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."

So, the SDPD is punching people in the head and kneeing them in the side while they’re face down? This is ridiculous. I’m so tired of seeing videos like this of cops abusing their power.
