They're cutting SNAP while the president turns the WH into a dinner club for his cronies. Jesus Christ
That's under consideration, BUT our insurance won't cover the 25-26 version bc it's not FDA approved yet, so it would be $270 each.
Ah, so he was an undercover FBI informant for a Democratic hoax that doesn’t exist. Which is why he had to abuse underage girls. The thread almost unravels itself.
Wish Oregon would hurry up! CA and WA both have it now.
Where are you? I had an appointment at CVS in Oregon yesterday, but they canceled bc the vaccine was not yet approved by the Oregon pharmaceutical board.
Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.
These workers were *building* the plant. And construction had to stop because of the arrests. Which means that ICE is now directly undermining efforts to create domestic manufacturing jobs.

Does anyone ever really listen to all these calls that are "recorded for training and quality control purposes"?
The granola of “granola fascism” isn’t modern junk food granola, it’s that old school unsweetened mix of seeds, raisins, raw oats and possibly carob that tastes like something you scraped off the floor of a goat’s stall. They’re followers of Mueslini.
Oh get fucked, Economist. Like literally take a Reagan supply-side slope right into your collective editorial asses you technofascism enabling losers whose children groan anytime they see your names show up on their phone when you call.
TRUMP: I am proud to report that I have destroyed a boat carrying eleven notorious drug-smugglers headed for the U.S. GOP: Whoo-hoo! 🎉 CNN: It is far likelier that the boat was carrying Latin American refugees seeking asylum GOP: What part of “Whoo-hoo” did you not understand
Asked the doc about that when I got it, and basically the supply is short so they can’t give you enough for the whole COVID course, just enough to get you through the worst part, then you have to get through the end on your own.
JUST IN: The United States now has more unemployed people than job openings for the first time since April 2021.
Much more fun than what the category ended up being imho
Or “for crying out loud, I know I saw the countdown, I thought you started this load 45 minutes ago!” and “My old washer was so simple. You turned the knob, pulled it out, and hey, presto! water started. Cost a LOT less than you did, too, you @!&?&”
My washing machine is capricious: you choose the setting, then have to hold the start button til it counts down 3,2,1 & then 75% of the time it eventually starts, but the other 25% not. We have conversations along the lines of, “if it’s not too much trouble, could you please wash these now?”
Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.
why does the NYT want us all get sick and die because if they didn't, the headline wouldn't contextualize this as a fucking "snub" so much as "trying to keep as many of their citizens alive as possible" jfc

These are a gem. My old town had a tool library, my new town has a sewing library. Gifts. 🎁
Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
which is true? who can say, we're just a news outlet
Honeycomb Pamplemousse Vinaigrette Airbrush Comb Mousse Aigrette Brush Things you use in your hair Is a damn good category, and just cause it’s not official doesn’t mean I shouldn’t get credit for it, Mr. Connections Elf!
Really want to emphasize the fact that even if that boat was loaded down with the finest of 70s era cocaine that doesn’t justify killing 11 people.

Pretty big anti-vax community, too.
First of all, again, Don't. Stenographically. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. Second, the actual headline should be that this is a massive violation of international law. What is journalism, anyway?
Turned into a goooooooo
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
That's what my husband likes to call a "sporty" stream crossing! Hiking poles are my life-savers for water crossings.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "I was elected as the Labor Secretary for all Americans" (She was not elected)
Rebecca Solnit’s A Paradise Built in Hell lingers long after the last page. Disasters reveal not our worst but our best. Neighbors rise. Strangers become family. This luminous book shows how community glows brightest in the dark. A great read!
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
1. Concentration camps are bad. 2. Emergency Managers shouldn't be involved in building and operating concentration camps. 3. Emergency management agencies should not be used for political stunts. 4. Don't follow orders from white nationalists. disasterology.substack.com/p/disasterol...

It might help if press acknowledged Senator Wyden getting anti-trans provisions removed from the Republican Budget & or that if any time this app discussed Rep McBride they didn’t act like she’s a blood traitor because of an article so poorly written it basically said the opposite of the transcript.
As good of a takedown as I have ever seen.
As someone who has been hiking Yosemite for over 50 years, please do not lie down and drink straight from the stream! On the other hand, I've definitely napped while waiting for a bus, if no one else was sitting on the bench.
(Michelle Obama, suggesting ketchup may not be a vegetable) BURN THE WITCH (RFK jr saying he can see our mitochondria) Seems reasonable
"Calvin, please, I really need to go to the bathroom" "Oh, no, living room for you, girl!"
Lived with a roommate & her wonderful Aussie for several seasons, and my sister sent me slippers for Xmas. Sheepskin slippers. I couldn’t walk through the house w/o that dog trying to herd me in some other direction. Finally had to store them on a high shelf til I moved.
I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.
With $8 Trillion on hand, they should be able to fund Medicare for All , wouldn’t you think?
Bertolt Brecht, Questions from a Worker Who Reads
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
Ouch…
Boy, it does not take many repetitions of that Seminole "War Chant" to make you wish they'd play something innovative, like the Imperial March or perhaps some Carl Orff...
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
There’s also a good deal of dystopian future science fiction, and right now that’s just too much, not matter how good the book itself may be.
Did you just read about how traditional Medicare is about to require prior approval - and they’re going to hire **AI companies** to dole out those approvals? Then you need to learn about Dr. Gary Bent.
Hi there. It's me again, the doofus who just said I'm not a political commentator and just wants to talk about videosgame and horror movies, I'm here to talk to you about a politic. If you don't want homeless people? Home them. Destroying their belongings and displacing them only makes it worse.
Well I certainly feel safer www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
Well, the coffee that cost $7.99 two months ago is now $11.99, so my spending for that item increased 50%. I may switch to tea in the morning soon, of course
Oh, surely the folks who want to control your uterus wouldn't attempt to take ownership of any other parts of your body, would they?
When your house is on fire, the most important consideration is that your firefighters are here legally. You don't want anybody illegally fighting fires. After you have determined their papers are in order, then you can go about getting your family to safety.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

How did we get to a point where one person with zero medical training and a history of brain worms gets to decide whether or not we can get a vaccine?
pretty infuriated that after living through a massive global public health emergency just 5 years ago, one that led to the deaths of so many beloved people...i can no longer legally get a f*cking vaccine to protect me and my family against the disease. outraged. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
Not about him. About mocking disability. Same with Abbott-do you focus on how he has to roll around in that chair? Pile on them for all the despicable things they do that they could do differently; making fun of a handicap just undermines your argument.
Absolutely despise him and all he stands for, but the voice is spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological condition in which the vocal cords spasm closed and/or open unpredictably. So much else to mock him for besides his disability.
Highly trained National Guard troops sent to Washington DC at a cost of $1 million dollars per day supposedly to fight crime, now tasked with picking up trash.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

“He’s just distracting you with authoritarian unconstitutional fascist military and police actions because he can’t address the real issue of groceries costing too much for hardworking Americans” Is maybe the most the Democrats have ever Democratted
A human being would do time for this and that's exactly why they want AI unregulated because they knew this was going to happen. Now imagine you have Mechahitler telling your kid what to do, maybe it shows him how to build a pressure cooker bomb or where to download 3d printer files for gun parts
Burning Man went from desert vibes to desert chaos real quick this week. A powerful dust storm ripped through Nevada’s Black Rock Desert on Monday, sending festivalgoers scrambling to hold down their tents. #BurningMan
A 21 point swing. In Iowa. Yowza.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
I’ve been reading a lot of military theory & history lately and one of the themes everyone keeps coming back is the idea of initiative - The initiative is being the actor, not the reactor, and the Dems just treat the gop as a force of nature to react to instead of one you can pummel
Of all the things that get characterized as “distractions,” this truly qualifies. As do “tiny hands”, “long neckties”, etc.
People mentioning their IQs at all is so strange. If I can't judge your intelligence by your actions and interactions, no amount of telling me your test score is going to convince me that you're smarter than you act.
Not many people know this, but all of the major political changes and social movement successes of the twentieth century -- from the New Deal to the civil rights movement to the Great Society -- were achieved because Democratic voters lay perfectly still and never pushed their representatives to act
the core issue here is that crime rates are down exponentially from where they were just a few decades ago: you’re asking Democrats to make “effective plans to deal with crime” that *largely only exists in the deluded minds of brainwashed MAGAs, most of whom don’t live in cities*
Plenty of empathy for her son, for several reasons
Remember back when there was all the brouhaha about participation trophies?
There's a reason she didn't get elected twice in my district. Barely scraped out the first one, and only because the district was brand new.

He didn't just invoke MLK's "arc of the moral universe" line. He added that the arc won't bend itself and people need to step up to make that change happen. Absolutely right. Pitch perfect.
Dems are apparently "looking for a platform" when the answer is right there: Stop running away from thing that actually help people. Food, housing, healthcare, no genocides, everyone's rights and bodily autonomy protected, a livable world, and all of those things viciously, deftly defended, always.
We're going to deport you to a random country if you don't take a plea deal for a crime you said you didn't do, doesn't sound like justice to me.
this is fixable and the way you fix it is with public trials
Who are you going to believe? Ghislaine Maxwell or the judge and jury who convicted her along with the many witnesses who testified about her crimes under oath
