$20 BILLION.

Remember that we’re being lied to whenever we’re told that we can’t afford something that helps American families.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Health insurance is for fucking assholes. Please give me health insurance

I have had exactly 1 year of healthcare in the last decade and I cut it short early because the monthly cost was insane and the few things I could even use it for cost about the same out of pocket but without having to pay hundreds of dollars a month

“I don’t think, in health policy history, we’ve [ever] seen as big a projected increase in health insurance premiums.”

As the federal government enters the ninth day of its shutdown, soaring health care costs, the crux of the shutdown fight, are looking increasingly likely.

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..."

The "somebody showed me a TikTok" era of American government is going pretty much exactly how you'd expect.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Yeah well that part sucks [for Dodgers fans]. I'm sure some of my favorites have some reprehensible views but at least they're smart enough to keep their damn mouths shut

It's just comforting to know with all changes and passing of time, all of the coincidence at the center of human existence, in the general chaos of the universe, that Roberts & Kershaw imploding in the playoffs is one of those immutable natural laws like gravity

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.
