Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

He’s just angry because they invented modern medicine.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

perfect, no notes

I really don't want to dunk on two legit experts, but this is too good of a shot / chaser not to share...

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

If the Supreme Court allows it, the next admin / Congress needs to get as many of these crooks under oath to testify about what they did, particularly when there are receipts. 1. There'd be no reason to lie if they're already absolved 2. Despite that, they will absolutely perjure themselves

Jacob Misiorowski really pitched in this Wisconsin Udder Tuggers uniform

Food, man. Restaurants are unbelievably good now.

Imagine that, corrupt billions influencing US elections, what sort of monster would do such a thing.

hear me out: Marion Barry International Airport

There is genuine public rage about Musk, which is what Congress is responding to, so when he says he will come for the people pulling the strings, he means the voters.

All of these are actual examples of people committing a crime of which the government is still trying to prosecute ME.

Putting up the Bluesky bat signal: Any post about DS9

there’s no middle ground position on this. either musk is forcibly rooted out of government infrastructure or every war proceeds at the whims and dictates of a generational buffoon

The Titanic is a great analogy: a ship that they proclaimed was unsinkable and then because of that they didn't bring lifeboats for anyone except the exceptionally wealthy so a lot of poor people took the brunt of what happened. Anyway.

Ouch

Ya Trump just blasted an antisemitic slur & ok Vivek just did an attack ad with his opponent's estranged mom who stayed with a man who molested her daughter when she was 9 & maybe Vance just threatened to deport a guy calling to release Epstein Files, but has El Sayed condemned Terrorism?

I do think Acton should go as hard as possible on this. "Elon Musk is paying millions of dollars to bombard your TV with lies by a rapist pedophile and his insane enabler wife. Don't let him win."

Because parents have been cutting off their kids (and/or threatening to) since the dawn of time, and NYT editors regard it as normal? (You date that girl. You want to leave the familly business. You chose the arts over med school. You're gay. You're trans.... It's endlesss... & then there's wills!)

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

RIP to this angel

Me explaining myself when I drop too much of a hot take...

washington dc is not trump’s personal property and must be given statehood to prevent this kind of abuse in the future

Beyond the well-justified outrage about destroying our public parks, the federal government should have never been in the business of building fucking golf courses in the first place.

I really do need to write the essay "Japan as a failed conservative utopia" I.e. successfully avoided 3rd wave Feminism, Mass Immigration, preserved traditional industries, privatised all major public companies* destroyed the political left.....and it didn't work. *well actually this worked.

Reminder that National Guard should not be breaking up fights, or occupying DC. apnews.com/article/nati...

a tax revolt fueled by stupid people who don’t understand escrow payments www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

"i believe my children are my property" is the core neurosis at the heart of So Much

Sturgill kicked DC's ass for a little over 3 hours. Highly recommend

all of us just watched these university admins wield enormous power against palestinian student orgs, including unaffiliated ones, so these excuses land flatter than ever

As a naturally melodramatic person, the toughest bit of wisdom I have learned is that the correct solution to any tense interpersonal situation at work or elsewhere is usually the least dramatic and most narratively unsatisfying option. Probably bad social media encourages the opposite

Lots of potential future Democratic aides on here, if you want your boss to win re-election don't worry about what's in Politico but make sure there's hell to pay if grandma doesn't get her Social Security check.

The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished
