TRANSLATION: Donald Trump won't let us, and we're all pissing-in-our-pants terrified of him because he says mean things about us if we don't do every childish, petty, vindictive, crazy thing he says.
FOX: Can you explain why SNAP funds can't be released? BROOKE ROLLINS: There is a contingency fund at USDA, but it is only allowed to flow if the underlying program is funded

RFK has created “an atmosphere of fear and distrust” in public health agencies, in which “scientific findings are censored, evidence is disregarded, and career officials are pressured to rubber-stamp conclusions that are not backed by science.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.
“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject
This marketing term is causing untold harm, of course, mostly to the naive and gullible. But it’s surprising how many educated and apparently intelligent people are placing an unwarranted degree of trust in these programmes.

It rocks that this sort of thing is just playing with the sound on in every waiting room in the country once you get 50 miles outside a major city. Two people with stuffed animal eyes shaking their heads sadly over footage of the president being inconvenienced briefly.
Rep. Greg Steube: "Thankfully the first lady and the president had their hands on the rails that were going up the escalator, or they likely would've fallen down and injured themselves. It seems to be intentional ... I don't know why we're still part of the UN."

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.
It says something about Trump’s all-out war on free speech that the New York Times couldn’t find a more credible person than “presidential historian” Craig Shirley to defend it. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...

Wanna know how to tell whoever is running the CDC has no clue what they're talking about? It's "correlate of protection," not "correlative protection." h/t @malar0ne.bsky.social In another era, this would be extremely embarrassing.

Once again, American Girl for the win
American Girl announced Wednesday that its 2026 Girl of the Year is Raquel Reyes, a Mexican American 10-year-old from Kansas City, Missouri. Raquel Reyes’ family owns a paleteria in Kansas City, though her family lineage traces back to another famous American Girl doll.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.
