What a great President!

In the last week, Donald Trump has insisted that there are no more stores left in war-ravaged Portland, asserted that Joe Biden was president during the January 6th insurrection, hosted conspiracy theorists for an "Antifa" summit, and said he'd consider pardoning his good friend the sex trafficker.

video of people being snatched by ICE at a laundromat shows an intersection between housing and immigration enforcement. if your unit and building don't have (working, available) laundry, that's one more errand where you have to spend significant time in potentially vulnerable public space

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

I can't imagine a world without Diane Keaton. I worked with her on a movie project back in the day, and she was everything you'd expect and want her to be. Hilarious, kind, authentic, unassuming. Real. RIP to one of the greatest ever.

I'd settle for every president being a taxpayer who can pass an 8th grade civics exam.

What’s a young man to do when all the outlets he watches — ESPN, Paramount+, Peacock, Fox Sports — either own or have partnered with a sports book?

The effect of all that noise is to sell a tautology: that gambling is harmless fun when done in measure.

The fact that we elected this man once was bad enough. The fact that we elected him a second time is a great crime we have inflicted upon ourselves.
