I’m as Zohran-pilled as possible, and his win is awesome, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that one of the slimiest, most repulsive people in American politics finally got a small piece of the humiliation he so richly deserves

DirectFile, free covid tests via USPS, child tax credit: federal programs that worked and benefited ordinary people and therefore had to be ended in case everyone got used to it

It sucks because Direct File was one of the first times a lot of people ever had a positive experience using a government website or service.

IRS Direct File dies a sad, quick death after only a brief time among the living.

Why? It's not because it's a bad idea or that it didn't work.

It's because TurboTax's parent company spent decades trying to make sure they controlled the e-filing market:

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Begging Donald Trump to save your life is as close to being a cultist to a Great Old One as you are likely to get outside a Call of Chtulhu session

This is pathetic on two counts. First, the “Dear Leader” worship from Trump’s Cabinet is mind-boggling. Second, it’s dishonest — Trump’s been defunding science, driving talent overseas, and creating a brain drain.

Now, if there were a Nobel for idiocy, he’d be a finalist.

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

Exclusive: The U.S. government asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. Legal experts say the case could have consequences for Afghans the U.S. rescued and promised to support.

Trump administration makes misleading case in high-stakes asylum hearing

Homeland Security asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. The case could affect thousands of asylum seekers.

Kristi Noem is flat-out lying when she claims no U.S. citizen has been arrested in her violent crackdown. Do a web search on “immigration citizen arrested” and you’ll see. Here’s one of the many documented reports we found.

I wish they would just set up a blockade across the lake between Upper and Lower Michigan, then, instead of terrorizing the people of Chicago.

As Trump claims the private sector has generated a “record number of jobs” this year, remember:

The administration’s own data shows that 2025 is the worst year for private-sector jobs since 2009. *These* are “real numbers”: tinyurl.com/57ke4jbb

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7d

Trump: "100% of all new jobs created in America under my new administration have been created by the private sector. Think of that. The government created no new jobs. The private sector created the record number of jobs that we're talking about. That's a country ... these are real numbers."
