Todd Blanche made more promises during a private call that a faith group inexplicably uploaded to YouTube. Expect to see this story cited in lawsuits against the FDA when it ends telemedicine of mifepristone for no reason other than pills by mail make anti-abortion groups very mad

God bless and keep the pope, but hot damn a recipe with a pound of ground beef, a quarter cup of sugar and TWO CUPS OF KETCHUP sounds like beef flavored frosting to me. Messy Joseph indeed! the mess is American children's endocrine systems. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

This is Pope Leo XIV's mother's recipe for "Messy Josephs," their family Sloppy Joes

Have you ever wanted to eat like the pope? Well now you can, with his mother's recipe for "Messy Josephs."

In other news… I was doing some historical research I didn’t end up using, and please know that up through 1909 typhoid fever was routinely ripping through Minneapolis. Then we figured out chlorinating the water. So I assume that’ll be the next thing MAHA tries to reverse.

Just saw a woman put a pink mermaid life jacket (with fishtail) on her mini golden doodle, place the mermaid on a paddle board and paddle off into the sunset — and this is what America’s women actually want. Will be joining this woman’s party/ cult/ MLM—if she ever returns to shore.

my whole life I've heard one drumbeat: We're about to lose the Colorado River... is this it? The end of the southwest? If we don't get some of those Star Wars moisture harvesters like they had on Tatooine, maybe.

Lake Mead is currently at 27% capacity, while Lake Powell sits at only 23% capacity. And any dip in the amount of water released from Lake Powell means increased releases — and less water retained — at Lake Mead.

oh ho ho! if you meet someone working on the Rubio campaign, it definitely is going to march relentlessly to a finale of post-separation abuse. and I didn't even know he had a second domestic violence Trump-world accuser. Come on Ohio, wake up! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...

Domestic Abuse Allegations Rock Max Miller’s Ohio House Race (Gift Article)

This was intentional. First drones, now missiles. Russia is gauging NATO’s (specifically the US) response to these violations. Every time they strike far Western Ukraine, they get data on Polish operating procedures - alerts, jets scrambled, communications with allies, etc.

I'll close with: A half percent of all adults are schizophrenic. There are various mental illnesses that make people unable to care for themselves, or others. Let's say we have a full percent of people who need complete care from the state. What does that look like? www.who.int/news-room/fa...

Wed. night, watering my garden, a guy asked me for fent, I had none, so he lunged for me & grabbed my ass. last night I walked watermelon rinds to my compost bin. by dawn someone dumped it all (for me to clean up) & took the whole bin. this is what it's like living by a homeless drug encampment

walking my dogs at the park we've gone to every day for six years. White guy tells me: "You can't be here, or here, I'm doing sprints." Doesn't say: Excuse me, hello, any kind of greeting whatsoever. Just: "You can't be here." I absolutely lost my shit. You don't own me! You don't command me!
