Extremely bad news for the libs: the wordsmiths who invented Obummer have discovered that Mamdani can be rewritten as "Mamdummy." The left should prepare for four years of humiliation.

The first few minutes of The Mighty Nein do SUCH a fantastic job of immediately establishing that this is a very, very different show in every way from The Legend of Vox Machina, wow.

Sorry to those for whom the Democrats are an emotional support political party, but chummily texting the world's most famous pedophile is Not Good, Actually.

ICE out here pretending they're Captain America when they're really Hydra with Project Insight.
To paraphrase what an ICE field director said at a Texas hiring event earlier this year: what makes ICE different from other law enforcement officers is that we catch criminals "before" a crime is committed.
NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

It's Concerta or I turn into a truly unmanageable harpy. Dealer's choice.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?

Stephen Miller saw actual competent lawyers as a huge threat to his plans for authoritarian rule, and so he started removing them and replacing them with hacks and sock puppets who would give whatever advice he wanted. In this, he followed a precedent set down by Cheney in the Bush 43 presidency.
White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats
The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.
