When the idiots think you're idiots
Joe Rogan and Theo Von slam DHS for using Von's image in a video promoting deportation:
"I was like, oh my God, what the fuck are they doing? That's not how you envision the government."
"They were making, like, deportation hype videos with trap beats and shit. What are we doing? It's idiocracy."

This issue (the office of the president being exercised by the Speaker, the Vice President, and the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff after Trump's failed insurrection) really deserves long-form law review treatment if any ambitious writers out there are looking for something to write about.
one reason I think soft coup is underrated as an outcome is that we probably already had one in January 2021 and the collective popular reaction was that we didn’t notice

There is nothing you can do about Trump calling that reporter Piggy, and that is frustrating, but what you CAN do is if you're ever around a man who talks about someone like that, shut him down. Tell him right then it's vile and wrong. Call that shit out.

The Epstein Files bill grants Attorney General Pam Bondi the authority to "withhold or redact" any material that could endanger "national security" or "jeopardize an active federal investigation."

NEW: We traced out a devastating outbreak of bird flu to its source: an egg farm in Ohio. Where the wind blew, the virus followed.
Within weeks, the farms downwind were about 20 times as likely to see outbreaks as those that weren’t.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.
