"But some experts are not so sure"
Someone should tell him there is no Nobel War Prize
No, Trump Can’t Legally Federalize US Elections. But he can sow confusion and fear. And I'd add: since when does this admin care what's actually legal? www.wired.com/story/trump-...
👇👇👇
... that he's still alive?
Still better than Lara Trump
👇👇👇
Seems like this should be bigger news
National Guardeners
A letter. OK, problem solved.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
And to think Vance had been in the Oval yesterday measuring the drapes and sofas. Sad.
And the couches
Shorter version - I'm stiffing the contractor (as usual)

They voted for natural stupidity
Unquestioned trusting of (and refusal to criticize) **authority figures** is a feature of religion and totalitarianism. Recognizing that experts know more than non-experts is a feature of a rational society. Experts can be wrong, but they are much more likely to be right than idiots like RFK.
"Dangerous buffoon" RFK Jr. flat-out lies that CDC lists abortion as a top medical advance during Fox News interview boingboing.net/2025/08/29/k...
Oh yeah, let's attack Biden. Brilliant move.
IDK. I think he's too stupid to be working this angle.
Literally. Back to being a colony of England then. 😅
To be fair, it probably takes time to move his boxes of consecrated Transylvanian dirt that he needs to sleep in to his new chambers
The NBC article says "Experts worry that without active surveillance of all eight pathogens, public health officials won’t be able to adequately compare trends over time or notice whether cases of a particular illness start rising" Note, "experts" not "some experts" www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
I'm not an expert, but I would think reducing the number of pathogens to test for from eight to two would not make our food safer. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Interestingly, the actual linked article from CIDRAP did not include anything remotely like "some experts warn" about the dangers. Why is the@cidrap.bsky.social account so mealy mouthed when their article lays out the dangers? Have they employed some NYT headline writers to run their account?
The actual article from CIDRAP did not include anything remotely like "some experts warn" about the dangers. Why do you have to be so mealy mouthed? Why not just say this is dangerous, instead of just suggesting it's just "some experts" whi disagree with this. You sound like the NYT.
Two things, same thinking
THIS IS A LIE. CDC lists of great public health achievements does not mention abortion or fluoride. It does list vaccines though - because they are a great great public health achievement. One that RFK is trying to reverse. www.cdc.gov/about/media/...
Thanking God for sparing your child when other parents’ children were shot dead is a bit like sending a thank you note to a serial killer for going to the house next door.
House Democrats could force a vote on impeaching RFK any time they want. Of course it would fail. But do you want to make an issue of it or not?
She should have complied with the officer's legal instructions.
RFK should be fired, not Susan Monarez.
Kim Jong Un would be embarrassed by this level of sucking up
Less than three Scaramuccis
Jesus what happened to that carpet?
Typepad is closing its blogging platform as of end September. Not giving users much time to adapt.
Cash bail creates a two-tiered system of justice where the wealthy can buy their way out of jail. Cashless bail lets judges detain people based on flight risk and community threat, rather than financial means, and does not raise crime rates. Don't fall for Trump's lies.
Does he think there's a Nobel War Prize?
He performed at the "Crypto Ball" — a Trump's pre-inauguration event, so yes, seriously.
Good advice at any time. I froze my credit probably 15 years ago. You can easily unfreeze it online at any time for a day or longer if needed.
I love this guy José Andrés.
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
I could be wrong, but this might just hurt his chances of getting that Nobel Peace Prize
The American flag is a symbol of freedom. That includes freedom to burn a flag. Criminalizing flag burning means you think a symbol of freedom is more important that actual freedom.
"create stories" - four syllables when he could have said "lie"
Didn’t Trump call himself a war hero?
Can we send Liz Truss to meet him?
Before that autism diagnosis, McCarthy was saying her son was an "Indigo Child" - believed to possess supernatural powers. She abandoned that when she replaced it with autism/vaccines. Now she's saying he doesn't have autism.
If only this had been an option on January 6th 2021
All because this admin can never admit it was wrong about anything
"I have friends" 😂 Trump has no friends. If he did, they'd tell him that no one steals the radio from a car these days.
Snowflake is scared to go to the movies because they might show a gay couple. I can't remember the last time I was this disappointed in someone. variety.com/2025/film/ne...
Via @costplusdrugs.com my low dose statin 100 pills costs $12 (including postage). With insurance it costs $25 for 90. CVS wants to charge $280 without insurance.
He hates the competition
It's not even a $50K signing bonus. You get $10K a year for five years (assuming you stay that long).
"based on this interview with Maxwell" is doing a lot of heavy lifting
Today is the 11th anniversary of this terrible national tragedy. Never forget.
Changing a restaurant logo is having your culture and heritage stripped from you? Must have been a really weak-assed culture and heritage.
The New York Times is claiming that Intel sold 10% of the company to the US government, but didn't they sign over the 10% in exchange for CHIPS funding that was already allocated by Congress?
Wow, John Bolton is in real trouble. Just look at all the boxes of classified documents the FBI found that Bolton had illegally kept at his home.
Jeez, I just watched John Oliver's segment on Chuck Schumer' anecdotes about "The Baileys" a typical Long Island couple who *don't exist* but are "the guiding force behind his political decisions" Watch this. 👇 I knew this guy was out of touch but this is next level www.yahoo.com/news/article...
To be fair, Ron Varra didn't predict this either
Our enemies must be loving all these quality senior military being fired and replaced with Trump toadies
That's that then. Case closed.

2/2 The old logo looks old-fashioned - probably off putting to the young. It wouldn't entice me and I'm 71. The new one is less off putting but bland so wouldn't encourage me either. It doesn't look "woke" just unimaginative. All I'd say is, if they paid a lot of money for this they were ripped off.
A real turkeys voting for Thanksgiving vibe here 🙄

Sloppy, careless, toxic DOGE unfairly targeted an Afghan who was working with the US, and now his family are in Taliban prisons www.propublica.org/article/doge...
I've never been to a Cracker Barrel. Previously I was barely aware they existed, and it looks like the nearest one to me is about 4 hours drive away. But looking at the old logo I'm puzzled as to why it is "anti-woke" and why the new one is "woke." Could it be that MAGA are a bunch of snowflakes?
DEMS: It’s time for other Democrat Governors to follow Gavin Newsom’s lead. No more following tradition, no more whining about fairness. We have to fight fire with fire and beat them at their own game. Time is running out.
Yes, he's still in the #EpsteinFiles
No. Ads are a dealbreaker for me. Network TV was unwatchable without a DVR to skip ads. Not going back.
Wow, John Bolton is in real trouble. Just look at all the boxes of classified documents the FBI found that Bolton had illegally kept at his home.
Also "groceries." No one had ever heard of that word until now.
There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.
So taking classified documents is bad now? No one is above the law and your private residence can be searched? Who knew? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Who could possibly have foreseen this? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
It'll be silent from now on
She wants to spend more time faking being smart somewhere else
Conservatives: nothing is a problem until it affects them personally
A lot of people are saying Gavin Newsom is America's favorite governor
Remember, Joe Biden had a "bully puppet"
How does that make you feel?
I'm convinced this would be the NYT actual headline
Surprised it's only 13%
Like Trump's ever been to a museum
I cancelled Prime over a year ago when they started ads in streaming. Ads that you can't skip. Network TV is unwatchable without a DVR, and Amazon want to make streaming as bad. Sure, they offered a version without ads but for a 26% increase in the fee. Sold as a "benefit" - upgrade for no ads! 🙄
Reading this made me think of @nkjemisin.bsky.social These mass extinctions do sound like a kind of fifth season 😕 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Don't give him ideas
That's because Biden used his bully puppet
To be fair, Putin knows a lot about election fraud
If it's spread over five years it's not really a "signing" bonus is it? 😆
Any Trump "willingness to participate" promise, like any other promise he makes, is worthless. He'll change his mind tomorrow if it suits him.
Morning Joe is still on?
Also 23
Peace in our time
