BREAKING:

Republican-led House and Senate committees say they will amplify their scrutiny of the Pentagon after a WaPo report revealing that Pete Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean several weeks ago.

Three days left on Bundle of Holding's great deal on the complete Ken Writes About Stuff!

#3 The School of Night

Elizabethan intrigue with poets, spies, and occultists—John Dee, Christopher Marlowe, Sir Walter Raleigh, the "Wizard Earl" of Northumberland & co.

bundleofholding.com/presents/Ken...
The School of Night "“Black is the badge of Hell; the hue of dungeons and the School of Night.” Queen Elizabeth’s realm lies vulnerable, not just to the Spanish or the plague, but to occult forces perhaps more dangerous than either. You study those forces at the risk of torture — at the risk of your soul — but you must hold them at bay or see England destroyed. "Your School of Night campaign might resemble a 16th-century Night’s Black Agents investigation of a demonic conspiracy, a picaresque “weirdness and monster hunt” game a la Fringe, Supernatural, or The X-Files, Tudor ghost-breaking and exorcism played for psychological and proto-scientific chills, or feature straightup horror of the Cthulhoid or Gothic bent. It might feature “wolf in the fold” gaming as players betray Raleigh to the Tudor police state for their own masters, or play up the espionage element in true “wildernesse of mirrors” style. Or it might combine all of these elements but really feature the fun of carrying rapiers, casting Enochian spells, and playing the dozens with that new-fledged goose Shakespeare down at the Mermaid Tavern." Christopher Marlowe Faustian Playwright You were born in Canterbury in 1564, and graduate from Cambridge in 1584. Your Master of Arts is endangered by time spent studying at the (treasonous) English Seminary at Rheims, but is finally awarded in 1587 after intervention by the Privy Council. This is because you serve as an intelligencer in Sir Francis Walsingham’s spy network, for which you also tutor Lady Arabella Stuart in 1589 and infiltrate a forgery ring in Flanders in 1592. You may have entered the School of Night as an intelligencer for Walsingham!

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

Private equity is looting our malls, doctors' offices, and nursing homes.

Heck, you name it, and private equity has probably already bought it.

Their scheme spares no one. I’m fighting to stop it.

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:

Black Baptist Churches
A Mosque
A small Appalachian church

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night.

But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent.

The midterms are right around the corner.

It’s Sunday… so a Bible verse for you to share with Christians who need a reminder (like Congress):

Matthew 35-40

I know you’re a bodybuilder, but use your noggin this time. Nearly half of those who receive food stamps work. Of the rest, most are over 65 or disabled. Wages are too low for tens of millions, and Social Security isn’t enough for many elderly.
A tweet from Marc Lobliner reads: “Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?” It quotes a post from Leading Report that says: “BREAKING: USDA will not tap emergency funds for food stamps, 40 million set to lose aid next week, per Axios.”

Seems like Republicans aren't hearing it enough: Americans are ANGRY that Republicans would rather shut down the government than work to lower health care costs.

Republicans need to do something about it.
Americans are ANGRY.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.
(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray. “I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.” But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire. “We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight.

Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs.

What happened to the art of the deal?
