Trying to think of what still unites most Americans: Prince. Movies. Carbs.
The clips from the RFKJr are bonkers, every time someone confronts him with his own words he responds that they're making stuff up.
This idiot either has no clue how his own agency works or doesn't care (in addition to peddling conspiracy theories)
Oh my god, what if they keep splitting, I hope they aren't like tribbles
I had not realized the reason there are two Krassensteins is because they had previously split from One Big Krassenstein.
Me, every month, acting like I’ve never seen a full moon before
OMG the fact that the virus mutates is WHY we need updated vaccines.
Welcome to CBS News with Bari Weiss; I’m Bari Weiss. The top story tonight is that my maverick opinions are being silenced by the woke left

I've never been more sure that we're at the end of something than watching so many talentless reactionaries get handed every single thing they've ever dreamed of without even a moments reticence from the people at the top
As a lawyer, I'll tell you that there's nobody who knows this law better than Ryan and Brian. Sure looks like murder or war crime to me. But as a human, I'll tell you that the Rubio statement -- we could have stopped the boat but we blew it up to send a message -- is sickening and depraved.
Yep, I said something similar yesterday. “This is just a distraction from…” No. This is the main event. Cruelty, including killing people, is what Trump supporters crave. They will pay for that with their own health, wealth, and freedom not by being tricked but because they love it.
New, from me: The EPA is breaking. *About 1 in 4 employees out *Core research unit closed down *Employees suspended and fired for writing letter for dissent *Trump judicial appointees OK'd cancelling of $20 billion climate change program donmoynihan.substack.com/p/your-gover...
lol at this part of their scheme (taking a tiny break from the horrors part)
Like, wow. 2nd Amendment Defenders really did the math and said “yep, all those dead school children and dead churchgoers and dead grocery shoppers and dead movie and concert attendees are ABSOLUTELY worth my bad faith argument about defending myself from an invasion by the federal government.”
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
I'M SO MAD and I'm thankful for Pritzker
So just to be clear, Greg Abbott bussed migrants to Chicago, and now he's busing Texas soldiers to Chicago to round them up? Real piece of work.
Walking through Chicago Federal Plaza today at lunch and saw a group of (art?architecture?) students sketching the Post Office building. Sharing just because. I ❤️ this city.
true blueskyism has never been tried
The best point.
Congrats on your regime propaganda, ABC News.
Susan Collins should actually be *concerned*. I'm not sure if Maine wants this, but I've been waiting to hear someone tell everyone who Collins is for more than a decade.
Why is the mayor of Baltimore not viewed as "tough on crime?" He's reduced the murder rate significantly. It's harder to commit murders when he's around. Why is the mayor of Chicago not seen as "tough on crime?" He's reduced murders much more than Rahm Emmanuel. Which definition are we using?
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
For anyone in Evanston or Chicago’s north side. We are gym pals and she has been missing since this morning.
We have no idea if it’s effective, but we do know it doesn’t cost as much as the things that are actually effective.
Imagine winning 8 Super Bowls and not simply retiring to enjoy the rest of your life
This is of course true, but “preventable deaths” is not a persuasive frame when the right and most of the Polite Center have embraced a gilded age theory of public health where diseases sweeping through the population and killing off “the weak” is a good thing we meddle with to our detriment.
the fatal flaw with the Bluesky is dying proposition is that it ignores the broader truth that I am also dying, as are you, and everybody you know. By dying Bluesky lets us know that it’s one of us, that it shares in our beauty and our pain. Grow or die? No, there is no “or.” Bluesky understands
Happy Labor Day 🙂
Tangential but it’s notable that when California does things it gets reported as “Newsom” and when Illinois does things it gets reported as “Illinois”
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art

This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:

CHICAGO…
long weekend at bernie's
Frog and Toad went out to fly a kite. They went to a large meadow where the wind was strong. “Our kite will fly up and up,” said Frog. “It will fly all the way up to the top of the sky.”
Chris Kluwe on Gavin Newsom and his treatment of the trans community: www.thehandbasket.co/p/chris-kluw...
Haha idiot, you had a good run of being liked for a week or two
Just saw a baby in a bucket hat 😊 that's one of my favorite types of baby
I think legacy news media is really reluctant to acknowledge they’ve been lapped by propaganda.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
You can doomscroll more tomorrow.
🔥
I wonder if this will include Kobo?
The TL;DR is that if respectability politics was going to work, we wouldn't be here right now. I know you may have doubts about that, but the primary strategy of the major LGBTQ+ and trans groups has been respectability politics for decades.
PRITZKER
"we need to focus on kitchen-table issues" hey wtf are you talking about at your kitchen table, if not the military being deployed to your cities and your family members being kidnapped by ICE and the genocide in Gaza going on two years and states maneuvering to make elections less democratic and
This is politics as community building and social bonding. Participate, and engage with others. Dems should do more of this. The GOP has tapped into a much more destructive version of this via QAnon and the manosphere.
I support Mark Cuban in his quest to write the Worst Possible Post. Someone has to do it and he has more resources than I do.
putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.
I mean how consultant-brained do you have to be to start this statement with “we should continue to support local law enforcement” rather than talking about how much of an outrage it is
This mealy mouth statement is pitched at the red parts of this map and who lives there (IYKYK) but will net the Dems zero votes. Myopic, delusional, out of touch.
Here’s what I see: A) The vast majority of Dems have coalesced around a morally clear platform. B) The vast majority of elected Dems have coalesced around protecting and pleasing their donors. C) Those two encampments are miles apart.
I'm crying this is so funny
Rolling into Friday like
no feeling greater than deciding you’re gonna have a Big Sandwich for lunch
It's Friday night baby
fuck me, we sure spend a lot of time forced to think about one stupid guy
a fun exercise for a moment is to google the area size of DC vs. the area size of chicagoland
The Center Gets A New Publication Dedicated to Scolding Leftists
Yes!! Get yourself a leader who genuinely loves their state (or city or country) AND all of its people!
NYT (pre-election): Vance is right, Haitians are straining resources in this Ohio town NYT (post-election): oh, forcing the Haitians to leave is crashing the economy of this Ohio town
we mock sadistic fucks. you mock people being offended by you're sadistic fuckery. we are not the same.
Can’t believe Cracker Barrel replaced its old logo with a picture of a non-binary activist in a keffiyeh.
I love my governor so much. A bright light in bleak times.
what Trump’s enemies are going thru is what the fbi frequently puts powerless people thru, no matter the what administration. There is however a substantive difference if the literal president is simply directing the bureau from the Oval Office: hey that guy pissed me off, go do your thing
And I definitely don't want to hear anyone in my mentions talk about Bolton and his complicity in the current moment. I know who he is and what he's done AND I can still see that this current fascist administration is targeting it's enemies and that this is extremely dangerous. You might be next.
Cubs have not won since having a photo op with a Nazi.
I get it, they're mad Cracker Barrel is putting effort into changing the logo rather than putting that effort toward improving the food. 🙃
This is a pretty good bit
Poll: Do you want politicians who work together? Respondents: Yes! Poll: On bad things? Respondents: Wait what
Oh yeah, same, but she seems to be saying something different.
You're right about no accurate facts lol
Nothing you reply at this point will convince me that you aren't a) lying or b) a bot.
The funniest part is that no one takes the LSAT for funsies!!
And LSAT scores are 120-180, so how did she score 100 points better than him??
I will be honest I was not actually expecting them to do this with the Smithsonian itself but that’s on me
this is andrew cuomos current campaign strategist, this is revealing in real time just how much vote blue no matter who is a statement centrists use as a weapon to get the left in line
This is a good example of what I’ve started calling “normalsauce democratic comms.” It sucks. The whole genre should be sent out to sea on a rickety boat. If your messaging is identical to what you would’ve said in 2017, you are failing and you ought to know better.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Are you taking requests because I think we need the American Chopper meme
need people to understand that accepting or conceding that he has the authority to do these things is tantamount to giving him the authority, and so your preemptive dooming is actively counterproductive
And her husband, MR. NOW.
JCO casually doing murders last night
I love this so hard
Hahaha true!
I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.
in completely unrelated news
Oh 😑
MS means Microsoft to everyone, no? When I first saw mention of MS NOW this morning, I immediately thought it was a new Microsoft AI product or some nonsense. I guess I was right about the nonsense part.
Congrats to the nominal opposition for being to the right of *Bill Kristol* on Trump assualting DC
Finally hit me what the crime rate self-soothers remind me of: When Biden was asked about abortion in the first debate and instead of slam-dunking it he got uncomfortable and meandered into a murder committed by an immigrant. If you can't slam-dunk the occupation of a US city, get off the stage
