FFS — Worcestershire is a fish sauce and it adds savory flavors to *everything* in the western food lexicon. Chili peppers are unashamedly more South / Central / North American than apple pie.

I think that’s wishful thinking. So far they’ve consistently suspended disbelief as required to fit their values to the Pennsylvania Ave narrative.

DHS ICE memo 1-21-26

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Especially if it’s, say, a tax return.
Or a ballot in a critical mid-term election.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The Mainstream Media Is Catastrophically Failing To Meet The Moment Earlier today we wrote about Trump’s extraordinary admission that he was basing military deployment decisions on old Fox News footage and lies from his advisors. But there’s an even mor…

A belter of a post by @mmasnick.bsky.social: "The pattern is clear: mainstream media has become so terrified of appearing biased that they’ve abandoned their basic responsibility to clearly communicate truth to the public."

Also one of the reasons why independent journalists are vital right now.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Imagine, if you will, the frisson of excitement those GPA-challenged ICE back-benchers got slapping irons on extraordinarily dangerous, extremely polite and exceptionally educated foreign-born electrical engineers.

MAGA, personified.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Still my favorite explanation of the difference between INT and WIS: int is knowing that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor.

Wis is knowing that Frankenstein was, in fact, the monster

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

“Some legal experts said that working for the administration after being confirmed could undermine faith in the court system.”

Trump Tariffs Cause Chaos on Ebay as Every Hobby Becomes Logistical Minefield Buying cameras, retro games, board games, skincare, flashlights, sex toys, watches, and anything else from overseas just became far more complicated, slow, and expensive.

Buying anything from overseas is about to get more expensive, more logistically complicated, slower, and overall more annoying. Film photography community, retro games community, people into skincare already seeing chaos on eBay. eBay sellers locking US buyers out.

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook:
"President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."

It’s perfectly normal and routine for executives who are unhappy with the key performance indicators of their business to fire their accountants said no board member, ever.
