I’m going to have to report this conversation.

if Murkowski is on something it means the numbers say it's safe for her to be on it without actually risking anything, and that fact is of great interest to me

just gonna say the oil isn’t the only thing there that’s extra virgin

The situation in Minnesota is so bad they’d rather talk about Epstein.

shirt’s forked up, man

alas, "don't break into embassies" is ordinarily covered on day 48 of the training

I honestly don’t know how to respond to news like that.

I mean, do I go with the Jerry Seinfeld “that’s a shame” gif or with the “Jeannie bouncing and eating popcorn” gif

those ninjas from THE TICK are interested in the ICE signing bonus, tho

Condiment King voted for Trump but is outraged at the tariffs on imported mustard seed

Dean Cain defends federal immigration agents who killed Alex Pretti, blames Democratic leaders Dean Cain is coming to the defense of federal immigration agents involved in the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, saying Pretti 'wasn't there just being a peaceful protester.'

I don't know how feasible it is, but... I'd really like Canada and/or Mexico to say "given the current situation with travel into and out of the US, we can no longer jointly host the World Cup."

Nazi dipshits:
49% approve
47% disapprove

…surprising softness there tbh

-4 with whites and -9 with men would...explain why there were firings

My wife is a big fan of fried Spam! Her go-to comfort breakfast is fried spam + eggs + pine nuts + whatever. (I think it's because she grew up in Reno, and Spam was popular for the Asian/Pacific tourists.)

Me, I'm vegetarian, so 🤷

people who read about the civil rights movement and said "those protesters should have brought THEIR OWN fire hoses, that would've taught that stupid Bull Connor a thing or two"

there was this one episode of STAR TREK where the bald Kirk told Wil Wheaton to shut up and it was pretty awesome

Your dogs are literally named Biscuits and Gravy? You really do pass! The only way to top that would be to have three dogs named Dale, Earnhardt, and Junior.

There’s a reason I save this on my phone

also that might not be your dog but it still wants tummy rubs, get going on that

i don't know why but even at my most Republican, I never passed. I think I just read as "kinda Jewish and kinda gay".

I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

This is true. But if Stephen Miller becomes a headache for Trump personally, then the same laziness that made him turn the government over to Miller will prompt him to throw Miller under the bus.

not to judge hastily but that Mississippi governor sounds like a real sack of crap

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Is it enough? No. Can we get more than this before elections? I kinda doubt it, unless/until ICE does something worse. Like Mr. Reagan said, take half a loaf, then try to get the other half.

Going to be an execrable centrist again and say this feels like something they can actually pass, which would do some good.

In particular, “DHS cooperates with state probes” means all of Pretti’s killers get named, which just might deter some ICE/CBP people next time.
