"The President of the United States was just up at 3 o'clock in the morning reposting memes of himself as The Lion King" is, itself, an absolutely insane sentence that in any other time in history would have prompted discussions of the 25th Amendment.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

Yesterday I lost my wallet. There was a suspicious charge so I figured I’d dropped it somewhere. Canceled all my credit cards, debit card, reordered drivers license, insurance, cancel the plans I made to run errands that afternoon. Put freezes on at all three credit bureaus. I then found my wallet.

Listening to the Culture Study Podcast baseball episode from earlier this month and heartened to hear all the commentators agreeing with me that the DH rule stinks and it's more fun when pitchers hit
