You can blame me for everything.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

How is Ken Paxton able to own at least 15 real estate properties worth around $9 million—including a $1 million property in Hawaii with an ocean view—on his government salary of $153,000 per year? Explain it to me like I’m five.

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office released a health update today, saying he is still not ready to return to in-person work at the Capitol following his June 14 hospitalization. That means he has now been away from in-person Senate work for 43 days.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

Ah, no, the purpose is to create a pretext for him, and him alone, to get a third term. To replace the one that was "stolen," you see.

"One could argue complaining about 2020 had a strategic purpose between then and 2024. But what purpose does it serve today, apart from massaging Trump's wounded ego? That's the real driver behind his ongoing 2020 obsession: It’s about him, not about any future election or the interests of the GOP."

So, government officials can shoot first and stay out of prison after killing someone. But a citizen gets charged and tried—with excuses evaluated at trial. ICE is a lawless evil terrorist gang. The ICE goon in Maine should be jailed, charged & put on trial. WE ALL SAW THIS SENSELESS BRUTAL MURDER.

okay so I went back and tried to watch MASH and in the first episode the two doctors robbed and then drugged the other doctor before holding a rigged raffle in which the prize is a nurse. These were the good guys of my childhood and they're bleak darkness with a laugh track.
