I can't think of a greater condemnation of this country than the NYT saying that a jade egg sold to you by Gweneth Paltrow that you're supposed to shove up your vagina against the recommendations of literally all doctors is one of the 25 items that best explains the United States.

Look it's absolutely TERRIBLE and you just HATE to see MAGA tearing themselves apart but wait nope never mind, carry on.
for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.
if he literally makes a new party called the American First Party, i will turn into the joker
The Twin Cities metro is VERY BLUE, but this seems extra stupid and like a great way to try and give Dems the trifecta. www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2026/ju...
Operation Metro Surge caused nearly $700 million in economic damage for Minneapolis
The Updated City Impact Assessment shows Central and Whittier neighborhoods were the most affected by ICE activity.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h agoEvery single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents
Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
That’s enough internet for me today.

"I think beef tallow is more natural than seed oils, which I don't really understand what those are, but I heard they were bad in a YouTube video. Also can I sell you some Herbalife stuff?" is a shockingly large number of lower-middle and working class voters.
Every time I read about neighbors embroiled in prolonged and expensive litigation over tiny things like shared fences or driveways, I realize that a lot of people really should just fuck off to the forest.

Trump claimed nobody could hunt, fish or walk on Bears Ears, then his own Interior Department was briefed weeks earlier on its off-road trails and a 40 mile hiking loop already in use. He shrank 1.2 million acres to fix a lockout that never existed.
'Lying' Trump caught using made-up story to justify slashing national monument: NY Times
President Donald Trump claimed hikers, hunters and anglers were locked out of Utah's Bears Ears National Monument and used that story to justify slashing its size by more than 1.2 million acres. Newly obtained government documents tell a very different tale."You can't go hunting, you can't go fishin...

Okay so while this cartoon is objectively hilarious, Smokey the Bear and the decades long mismanagement of fire in the West is an absolute nightmare that we have doubled down on by building in environments that historically burnt A LOT before climate change thus requiring further doubling down.

So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.

Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
Blanche had his fingers crossed behind his back and Trump declared it National Opposite Day, so your mileage may vary.

Time to add another formerly respected institution to the garbage pile, this time @aau.edu, which just worked with the Trump admin to endorse resegregation in high education, embedding MAGA fraudsters as faculty, and banning student expression. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

"Senator Moreno, have you refused to say anything because you think your daughter is lying about these allegations of abuse or because you prioritize Republican politics above your own family?"
