"So now they were headed into androgenic, systemic, multiplex, seriously bad shit, like she sort of already knew, figured everybody did, except for people who still said it wasn’t happening, and those people were mostly expecting the Second Coming anyway."

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

“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..”
= POLITICO By DANIEL LIPPMAN 10/09/2025 08:22 PM EDT f 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.

In or about 2017, Jack Posobiec told his followers that he “worked closely” w/ the Oath Keepers. (h/t @michaelehayden.bsky.social) More recently, he’s glorified Francisco Franco, Spain’s deceased murderous dictator. Naturally, Trump included him in his recent anti-“antifa” roundtable. Sound on. 1/

Historians argue that Trump indicting his enemies one-by-one rather than having them murdered in a single night proves he’s not a fascist.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

Indianapolis residents SHUT DOWN proposed $1 billion Google Data Center that would have used 1 million gallons of water PER DAY.

Google was set to build 500 acre site, but citizens organized and stopped it.

People power works.

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.
Headline: Trump Has His Eyes on Nobel Prize. Will He Get It?

VIRGINIA CALLER: “As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you… I am begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die... the audacity of someone who makes 6 figures a year to do this to military families is insane.” #TrumpShutdown
