"Anything short of a full release today is a violation of the law and a continuation of this administration’s coverup on behalf of a bunch of pedophiles and sex traffickers."

The main thing I have had hammered home by the past ten years in politics is that we really need pretty much every government office to be run by boring and anonymous nerds who you will never once hear about in the news

I thought the tariffs were paying for the struggling farmers’ bailout.

In his speech from the White House Wednesday night, President Donald Trump said that he was sending a $1,776 bonus check to U.S. troops for Christmas, indicating that tariffs were funding the payments as he tried to reassure a worried public about the health of the economy.
In national address, President Trump says US economy is strengthening, despite weaker hiring and inflation

There’s a lot of evidence in this Susie Wiles interview that she knows she’s been the handmaiden for some awful, possibly criminal, policies, and she’s trying to assemble her own defense in advance of any future investigations.

Re.: Stephen Miller’s grotesque immigration hypocrisy
Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.
We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

“Even progressive pronatalism risks ratifying the notion that women’s most important contribution to solving major social problems is to birth and raise children.”
The right likes the birth rate panic because it helps them do more misogyny. But they also like it because it tricks democrats into re-framing good progressive social policies as solutions to a problem they probably won't solve. (Partially because it doesn't exist.) newrepublic.com/article/2040...
What If Both Sides in the Birth Rate Debate Are Wrong?
The right wants to steer women away from work and toward motherhood. The left wants to provide them with more state support so it’s easier to have children. We should refuse this choice.

I live on the west coast. My friend in Maine thinks black pepper is too spicy. I kid you not. Black pepper. 🥵
the big brands do know their market demographics, and a key aspect of that is “people in California are on average a lot more interested in buying ultra spicy food than New Englanders are”

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Imagine paying a large monthly fee to shop at a supermarket, then paying again for the actual groceries, then getting an extra charge months later because one ingredient in an item you bought came from a farmer associated with a different store.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

I swear, my Leftover Pie is not to be missed! Make a crust of stuffing pressed into a pie tin, brush with butter, & bake briefly to set. Arrange a variety of leftovers (recommend everything!) in bite-sized pieces, then top with gravy+cranberry sauce+a bit of cream cheese to texture. Heat & eat —yum!

Vaccines themselves are such a metaphor for how the anti-vax demographic views society. If the rest of us didn’t do our part, most of them would be doing a very different risk assessment before declining immunization. They depend on the rest of us getting vaccinated so we stay above herd immunity.
