On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.”

On Monday morning, the Trump administration told a judge it will only PARTIALLY fund SNAP and 40 million Americans should expect delays for food benefits.

So, today, 2 months later, #TeenVogue fires their entire politics staff. Silencing youth, silencing women and severing a line of hope to a generation that will have horrific consequences in the face of relentless authoritarianism. What an evil deed.

Not everything is garbage on the dating apps - I’ve come across several men whose looks have only improved with age and I’m happy for them and their glow-up
Anyone who thinks I am crazy for wanting their first/last name prior to meeting/dating them so I can run a cursory check on NC eCourts is wilding out there. It’s literally my job to look at court records and my safety is paramount to your ego.

The emotional labor I am out here doing for men on dating apps is unreal, not to mention my legal perspective on someone’s criminal history or cheating on one’s spouse. And I’m not even getting to the actual date, this is just on chat - no compensation in the form of dinner or drinks or otherwise 😂😭
Bathroom selfies are one thing, but urinal selfies are next level 😂
Men on the apps listening all the chores they want help with - just hire someone jfc

it's not santorum (nothing is), but this is nicely done

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants.

KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance."

“No self-respecting university could ever accept something like this,” said Lee Bollinger, a First Amendment scholar and former Columbia University president. “Trying to protect conservative ideas against being ‘belittled’ — that’s about as violative of the First Amendment interests as you can get.”
Colleges weigh whether to sign onto Trump plan or forgo federal benefits

Today was my last day as a federal employee, but tomorrow I and my new partner, Ginger Quintero-McCall, open a new law practice, the Free Information Group. We are both FOIA lawyers, and we are very good at suing the government. 1/
Just got a $125 tariff bill from UPS for a shirt and a sweater I purchased from Sweden. The tariff bill costs more than the shirt.
Are the men holding the fish just trolling us now? Or are they actually completely unaware that they are an online dating meme? There’s too many of them. 😂
OKCupid: He’s a 97% match!
Me: But he’s not cute or hot, surely that counts for more than 3% 🧐🤨🤔
I hope everyone’s making plans for Halloween costumes now, since there won’t be any last-minute trips to Joann 😭
Perhaps I care too deeply and too quickly…
I have had multiple people tell me that I’m a prize, that they are surprised I’m not getting dates on the apps - where are the prize men?
Match is recommending men they say are “someone like you” and I’m offended - poorly dressed men who aren’t smiling? Surely I’m not that miserable.
Today’s dating apps observation - there are so many men wearing sunglasses with colorful reflective lenses, but not in a good way.

I'm waiting for the first Democrat to use "They're coming for your porn" as a campaign slogan.

Alternatively, "We're not coming for your guns, but they are definitely coming for your porn."

I learned recently (from @strictscrutiny.bsky.social) that Project 2025 includes porn bans.
For all you men wanting “no drama” in your dating profile - life IS drama. Drama is all around you! You can’t escape it! How dare I suggest that you sit with some discomfort! 😂
Your dating profile says you like punk rock, but you’ve selected the “not political” designation? Please explain yourself.
I was looking at a man’s dating profile and, while it was promising, there was something unsettling about it. Then I realized he was wearing serial killer glasses. TBF, I’m not accusing him of being a serial killer, only of wearing deeply unsettling glasses.
Dudes in your 40s - the dudes in their 30s are acing you on dating bios. I’m going to need to see more than you’re “easy going” and “down to earth.” You might as well have a rubber stamp that says BORING. Are you boring? Prove me wrong.
