I'll think about some things to write after I've finished my trumpet practice, get back from my bike ride and trashed my daily quota of fascists. I re-post a lot because someone's usually already said it.

wingnut grifter-provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos got nabbed by ICE, and MAGA is shitting their pants, because it happened to one of their own. boo fucking hoo, crybabies. thank you for your attention to today post, in which I document the atrocities. link is here: bit.ly/4qLBF20

wait a minute, wait a minute — are you telling me that the fascist little shit who called for ICE checkpoints everywhere, with swift deportations for anyone found to be in the country illegally, got nabbed at an ICE checkpoint and was swiftly deported after being found in the country illegally? holy fuck, I think I’m overdosing on schadenfreude right now.

Latest episode of "Off the Clock," with @svaneksmith.bsky.social dives into the week that was. What did we hear from Silent Kevin, how can we deal with Angry Canada, is Scott Bravado's heart really in Operation Economic Outcast? Plus, the economics of Dolly Parton. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcDd...

Silent Kevin, Angry Canada, and the Iran Sanctions Nobody Believes

On this Fed-heavy episode of Off the Clock, Justin Wolfers and Bloomberg's Stacey Vanek Smith dig into new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's argument for a quieter, less transparent central bank — and why it…

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

John Roberts and the SCOTUS Republicans have allowed Trump to proceed with his egregious mail-in voting restrictions. 21 years ago, I warned at Roberts' confirmation hearing he would be a dangerously right-wing Chief Justice. I have sadly been proven right, over and over.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

cultist invents the batshittiest conspiracy yet, MAGA grifter-prophet pretends to speak in tongues, and Diaper Nurse Natalie makes big dumb cow eyes at Dear Leader. all that and more in 'This Week in Stupid,' my every-Saturday roundup of the dumbest fucking shit that happened. link: bit.ly/3Upg2Zg

what the fuck did we all just listen to? this woman had every opportunity in the world to give a perfectly normal MAGA-pilled answer. ‘he got rid of the illegals.’ ‘he stopped the transgender.’ ‘he made America great again.’ but no, she couldn’t do that. she had to shit out her own one-person fever-swamp hallucination about 125 years of secret British oppression. she’s that fucking out there where the buses don’t run. where do they find these people? I have a question: if Donny’s so amazing, how come he couldn’t end this British treachery during his first term?

while a delusional Preznit Fuckwit imagines he can re-name Lake Ontario (spoiler alert: he can't), Canada has a real chance to seriously fuck with our economy. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I explain how. link is here: bit.ly/4y0Y6CC

the Welland Canal is the only shipping route between the American side of Lake Erie and the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. approximately 26.3 billion dollars’ worth American goods pass through the Canal every year. it’d be a real shame if Canada were to rename the Welland Canal to, oh, say, the Strait of Our Moose, and close it down.

For Americans this is a trade war. For Canadians it's existential. Joking about making them the 51st state and saying their consent doesn't matter tends to do that. Good politicians make it easy for the other side to say yes. This made it impossible.

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?
