I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

Ossoff on Mike Collins: "He's pro-war. He's pro-tariffs. He's pro-cutting your healthcare. He's also a notorious bigot and antisemite, and an election-denying extremist who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, and is a Trump puppet who will serve his needs & agenda mindlessly"

The Fire starting up in Portland couldn’t be better timing. If Dundon ends up making this feel too gross at least we have a team with good ownership to take pride in. If he gets his shit together maybe we’ll have two but at least we’ll have one.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

A couple days ago I went to the store and as I was walking away from the checkout lane I heard the lady that was next in line say "I already drank some of this but I still need to pay for it" and the cashier said "Oh...ok, thank you" and when I glanced back it was a can of Coors

i think it's cool how zohran was like, yea i made some mistakes during the first snowstorm, so i'm gonna take everything i learned and do better this time around, and so far it seems like he has. accountability! responsiveness!

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

Texas AG Ken Paxton has announced legal action against the Houston area Screwston Antifascist Committee, alleging commission of terrorism and doxing. Their account has been quiet for some time, but this was one of their last posts — identifying a neo-Nazi.

The investigation aims to determine the exact nature of Screwston's involvement in unlawful activity, including aiding in the commission of terrorism and "doxing," in violation of Texas law. The organization is self- admittedly affiliated with Antifa, which has been designated by President Donald Trump as a terrorist organization. Additionally, reported members of Screwston affiliates recently participated in an armed assault on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. Merchandise sold by the group promotes the death of ICE agents and encourages violence by mentally ill "transgender" individuals.

As part of the investigation, Attorney General Paxton has issued a Request to Examine to Screwston, which is a legal demand for records and documents that will be used to identify the scope of legal violations committed by the organization.

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.
