Good morning, everyone. Here's what I enjoyed listening to and drinking in 2025.
Wonder how many people DHS can kill in the next two weeks...
Going to make a smooth transition from weather-related telework into another government shutdown. Wonder which Jose Andres restaurant to go to first.

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.
this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Bad news for the Speaker of the House and his large adult son
it's hard to explain how horrible and dangerous this app and the people who made it are but I tried: www.404media.co/app-for-quit...
App for Quitting Porn Leaked Users' Masturbation Habits
Hundreds of thousands of users told the app intimate details about their sexual urges, which are now exposed.

To clarify: consular (or diplomatic) premises are not 'foreign soil', no not an invasion. They are, however, inviolable under Art 31 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (USA still a party AFAIK). Local law enforcement can't enter even with a warrant.
Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone
They did not have a warrant

Is it a small geyser the size of a large geyser?
A "small geyser" of poop water is flooding into the Potomac River
"The collapse of a sewer line carrying wastewater from Virginia and Maryland isn't affecting DC's drinking water. But it's still unbelievably gross."

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

DC had its worst snowstorm in a decade and I haven’t seen a single guardsman with a shovel despite an ongoing, obvious need. I have seen scores continuing to stand around and waste taxpayer dollars.
