Bari Weiss, responding to the haters: I can't help but notice. Even my critics admit I'm useful, in addition to being an idiot

Government accounts just post like this now and that’s how policy is made

my team is looking into it. they're not sure if anti-fraud law is still on the books

my eight-year-old said anyone could spin up a donation page for the ICE agent who shattered his assbone with that hilarious spill. Explain that it's not on GoFundMe because of wokeness. Then you could buy a BMW X5 Competition. I had to explain that's probably illegal. And that car seems a bit much

that field trip to the Wonka factory would've gone a little differently if Kyle was there

my resolution to only follow health advice from some fat American kid who's famous for getting away with two murders is already proving to be expensive. I have to outfit the entire apartment with gay-proof water filters and figure out how to install a tallow spigot

These are the sorts of things local authorities could be enforcing to get ICE out but aren’t, these are unequivocal public safety violations & with the mass of surveillance LP readers we already know where they are!

(Post is from a month ago to illustrate this isn’t even a new thing)

Democrat meeting the moment: Now, more than ever, we need to show ICE agents more PowerPoints before they go out to hunt people. Please give me five dollars. Every little bit helps.

Bill Ackman's latest actions have me wondering if he ever actually cared about New York City or fighting antisemitism in the first place

You don't need to apologize for smelling like 80/20 ground beef anymore.

Bill Ackman has now confirmed what I first reported yesterday morning, that he donated $10K to the GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, in a tweet.

in another time you can easily imagine RFK Jr. on the television explaining how you have to continue smoking cigarettes, because studies show those who quit end up hating War

Reality and Fiction: Who's to Say Which is Accurate?
The shooting of Renée Good was documented from different angles. Video taken before, during and after the gunshots became ubiquitous online in the days since she was killed.

The perspectives of two congressmen reflect the divides over what happened.
Two congressmen watched an ICE shooting video. Only one is sure of what he saw.

scored five goals in two matches today. HBO and Netflix are in a bidding war for who will tell this story. I don't really care who gets the project, but I know Scarlett Johansson has to play me

almost everyone I know uses the bathroom. and pretty much no one *chooses* to go to the bathroom outside. this is a great idea
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin on Saturday announced an initiative to install more public bathrooms across the city.

The American people must exercise caution. The secret police are angry, scared, and many of them just growled and then called ICE when they competed on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Whatever weapon you give them, they will point it at a civilian's face. What other job could they even do?
