I’ve Had Enough of This

Hell is empty And all the devils are here. -Wm Shakespeare, The Tempest

RFK Jr. is not even close to being done with destroying public health. Republican Congresspeople are 100% behind him in this effort. Vote for public health.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Affordability. The midterm trumplican message delivered.

Thirty years ago I was on a high-volume high-aggro mailing list, and when someone lost it like this the tradition was for someone to take the text of the message, alphabetize it, paste it into a reply, and say “these words didn’t appear to be in any particular order so I alphabetized them for you”

Good coverage by the Guardian of celebrations in Serbia as Student List wins. The Novi Sad railway station collapse of November 1, 2024 due to shoddy construction (Serbian and Chinese contractors) and subsequent death of 16 people led to marches, hunger strikes for almost 2 yrs.

This administration is just a Mad Libs filled in by the dumbest human beings on the planet. www.wsj.com/opinion/vikt...

conservatives in washington state want freedom and small government in the form of state-mandated genital exams for high school students: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Rep. Jamie Raskin on what Democrats will do FIRST if they take back Congress: “First you got to put out the fire that's still going. People are still in danger.” “Millions of people have been thrown off of their health care, their Medicaid, their ACA tax credits. We got to restore all of that.”

Let's just say, you have to be highly evil and/or corrupt for **Wall Street Journal** readers to be posting comments like this .

One of NPR's most gifted storytellers, his soft voice and vivid writing helped define the network's sound for a generation of Americans. n.pr/3VGenzf

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

She donated her August prize money to the Sharon Begley Science Reporting Fellowship. That aims to diversify the ranks of science and health journalists, and foster coverage of science that is relevant to all people. It’s a blessing to know that the work of these journalists continues on after them.

As Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. once said: “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”

Nice to see Tesla reclaiming from OceanGate the cutting edge of new and embarrassing ways for the very rich to kill themselves.

Ukraine's leader took a little swipe at Trump when he arrived in Brussels for the continuing summit. Flanked by Europe's leaders, Zelenskyy said it was good to be among "real leaders"

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Parents, if you have dropped off a kid named Jimmy in the morning and picked up a kid named Janet at the end of the school day, please return to the school: You've driven off with some other family's child.

Watchdog group @citizensforethics.org files legal challenge, asking court to block Jared Kushner from serving as Trump envoy They allege he's “breaking the law by acting as one of the country’s top diplomats without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing financial disclosures.”

Elon Musk points finger at Trump. Trump points finger at Elon Musk.

That this bot, which posts random stills and clips from the thousands of hours of VHS transfers on archive.org, landed on *this specific frame* feels like finding the monkey at the typewriter that managed to write Hamlet.

The saddest part of this debacle is that CBS just produced probably its strongest piece of the year — Leslie Stahl, on the Israeli thugs rampaging through the West Bank — and then CBS’s thin-skinned managers crapped all over it. Bari & Co. saw someone doing real journalism and were like ... whaaat?

Important Context has a new story published in partnership with @theguardian.com. Anti-vaxxers, including Robert Kennedy Jr.’s former group, Children’s Health Defense, have been going after doctors professionally to cast doubt on measles deaths. www.importantcontext.news/anti-vaxxers...

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

Trump as recently as this past weekend brought up Omar at a rally in Tennessee, where he attacked her upbringing and suggested that Vice President JD Vance “and our people” were investigating her. Vance has in the past accused Omar…

Risk factors

Of course he did. But can't we compromise and name a major city's sewer system after him?

Every fucking one of these people is a traitor.

From red diesel to Red diesel, this is awful energy policy. And calling it policy is too kind, it’s seesawing from one Trump-caused disaster to the next.

There is nothing comparable to this level of corruption in American history.

NEW: ICE agent in a high-viz vest holding a rifle at the scene of shooting near the Bronx has a history of allegedly lying, using excessive force, and courts have found his arrests unlawful. @dmehro.bsky.social @awinston.bsky.social, @regret.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-ag...

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

Mainers who tracked the Collins/Jackson debate will chuckle at this.

Trump wants to be known as a 'strongman'. Presidementia's stern response to Putin murdering 3 one-year old kids and 16 others in a missile strike on an apartment block? He's gonna call Putler and wish him "happy birthday." It's no wonder the Russian president gets more brazen

This. Why track a 16 year-old for 2 years and not get him help / an intervention? Wait until he’s 18 and give him a rifle so you can then charge him with planning a crime. That’s messed up.

Quite a few Black women singers have found their way into the Folk music categories at the Grammys, so what are they doing next year? Adding a Best Traditional Folk category. Lol

ICE is now separating children from their parents in the nation’s interior and deeming them “unaccompanied.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Pennsylvania has now reported: -At least 1004 measles cases -198 hospitalizations -Five deaths Only four of the cases had been vaccinated. Sure, we’ve got some numbers here, but the damage from RFK Jr.’s malicious treachery is actually incalculable.

Of course when Russia said Ukraine had bioweapons labs what they really meant was that they did. There's a lot we don't know about the current situation. Russia should be bringing in experts from the WHO to clarify and advise. Will they? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Reminds me of my favorite part of Sen. Michael Bennet's epic floor rant in 2019 about how they couldn't pass immigration reform: "Because of the stupidest rule ever created, called the Hastert rule! Named after somebody who is in prison! That has allowed a minority of tyrants in the Congress."

I disagree with the idea that Trump is the symptom, not the cause of US foreign policy changes. Leaders also have agency. These mysterious structures did not compel the US to got to war with Iran, blow up our alliances, destroy our trade relations or threaten to invade Greenland. Trump did.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.
