Horrifically creepy and emblematic of this rape-coded administration, but also a govt employee staying at the fuckin ritz on a business trip shows you how much the DC world has changed since the DOJ muffin scandal of 2011.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

"Plenary authority." The day Stephen Miller inadvertently let the cat out of the bag, froze up, and short circuited during a live interview. 😳👇

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

“We’re physically seeing the impacts of a changing climate on these communities. … And the fact that we don’t have a government framework for dealing with these issues is not just an Alaska problem, it’s a national problem.”

(Published May with KYUK)

Newtok, Alaska, Was Supposed to Be a Model for Climate Relocation. Here’s How It Went Wrong.

The project’s challenges highlight how ill-prepared the U.S. is to respond to the way climate change is making some places uninhabitable.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

I once fell asleep on a homeless mans lap on a bus in Nashville because I was coming down with double pneumonia and didn't know it yet. Passed out, defenceless.

And nothing bad happened except he watched over me all night.

Good people exist.

Kyiv being hit hard tonight, drones and missiles. An acquaintance’s apartment was hit by a Shahed; thankfully she’s ok. Watching from afar hurts. So does knowing I couldn’t handle one more of these nights if I’d stayed. Please, all, stay safe.

Jets fans giving Jonathan Toews a massive Winnipeg cheer as he gets announced for his regular season debut in his hometown.

They were so loud they drowned out his announcement.

#NHLJets season begins here inside the rink with a video package, narrated by Adam Lowry, reflecting on the year that was -- and what's to come.

As it concludes, two new banners are unveiled in the rafters -- and the injured captain emerges on the bench with a fist pump.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Fun fact: Gustafsson much like Ville does not have enough pro games played to be considered an AHL veteren. Shows how much press box time the #NHLJets have given both of those players. They’ve both been scratched more games than they played.

Bring the Jets 1.0 shit back, but I don't give two shits about the Arizona franchise records. They can keep them.
