The responses from MTG and Thomas Massie are examples of how deciding not to comply with Trump’s lotalty tests sets you free.

Just let people go for a piss, for Christ’s sake. Do you have any idea how insane it looks to have a cadre of mean-as-fuck official toilet monitors as your national equalities regulator.

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering.

Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed.

At least two suspects are in custody.

If you're wondering what happened to Nate Silver, he was into the COVID lab leak theory and got negative feedback online, including from epidemiologists and virologists and (GASP!) posters, which added to his belief that The Woke are victimizing Nate Silver. It spiraled from there.

I'm not kidding.

I’ve been having a marvelous time lately reading the Washington Post’s editorial pages online.

Not the editorials themselves, mind you.

If you click on “comments” the first thing that comes up now is an AI summary of how readers have responded.

Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

It’s absolutely astounding watching the population get lead from one thing to another by the news all while massive raids are unfolding nationwide disappearing people and the Gestapo is further terrorizing the country at an accelerated rate while public protest has disappeared in media.

They’re burying the weirdest part of this story, which is that this congressman’s twin brother keeps trying and failing to replace him in various jobs and is now hoping to replace him in this one

Props to the protestors who the New York Times credits for foiling ICE’s intended raid in Chinatown earlier today.

So many people are showing they know what it means to be New Yorkers!

Dems still don't realize how historically bad a candidate Hillary was. Like, laughably bad - so much so there was no chance of her being elected. She would have lost to a papier mache bust of James Buchanon. And while I still voted for her, I hated every second of it.

Local news in Chicago has restored my faith in humanity. Their ICE coverage has been incredible. Just absolutely straight, but they KNOW their turf, so they absolutely see through and are disgusted by the BS and outright lies.

Everyone is dunking on poor Noah Smith for getting lost and frustrated at Heathrow Airport and blaming him, which is victim-blaming and I am quite disappointed in all of you. Put the blame squarely where it belongs: on whoever failed to pin his name and destination to his sweater-vest.
