Even in liberal California, I was apprehensive when hubby and I bought a house and moved. Totally get it.

(And our neighbors are all great, no issues.)

All adults and some children on ICE flights—some 50 flights a day now—are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists.

I have spoken to migrants and their attorneys who report being shackled for 50, 75, and 82 hours while being deported. Flight data backs this up.

If I ever get on Jeopardy! I’ll pierce my ears just to piss this guy off.

(Fun fact: I was in the contestant pool for the 24/25 season, but didn’t get to the final step of being invited to play.)

83.33% savings.

That’s an 83.33% drop, and no amount of wishing will make it anything else.

Good god, no. You don’t get to have your own math.

Semi-confidently going with “with.”

The guy who installed mirrored floors in his home so he could look up women's skirts when they visit, and who flew on Epstein's plane multiple times, was fired because he was unwilling to sink to Hegseth's level.

Seems bad.

I played Bob Cratchit in Scrooge in Love. It’s utterly delightful. And I was dubious of a musical sequel to A Christmas Carol.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders.

Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order.

That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

I'm shocked! said no one.

Weiss and her benefactors have been so busy huffing their own farts online that they’re clueless real people have no use for the anti-woke nonsense they’re pitching

The midterm gerrymandering war and the Iran war alike show Trump's inability to imagine that the people he's picking fights with have any agency, any ability to respond.

He loves his "you don't have the cards" metaphor but he's amazingly terrible at actually thinking about whether they do.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Basset Hound. Complete with the long floppy ears.

Imagine the hysterical reaction from the right had Hunter Biden gone on TV and bragged about getting millions of dollars from his father's government for doing something he had no aptitude or experience for?

You know when you read those historical accounts of indulgent masquerades and hedonistic parties the aristocracy threw while all the peasants were starving, and then after the fires and rioting died down the survivors were all “but who could have seen it coming??”

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it.

Anyway: fund basic research.

Even as a critic who has tried to write about MJ’s legacy with nuance and grace, I appreciate the clarity the director of Leaving Neverland brings to the table

remember a couple years ago, when sen. feinstein didn't know who or where she was, or what she was voting on, for a couple years, while her unelected staff covered up her condition and governed for her? if D's are serious about restoring trust in democracy, they need to put a stop to this stuff

A Fox News poll just found that voters prefer Democrats over Republicans on the economy for the first time in 16+ years.

Wendy Vega Lores dreams of becoming a pediatrician. She finished high school in two years and began intensive prep to become a doctor.

'Kimberly Akimbo' Tour & Broadway Production Recoup $7M Capitalization Nearly two years after Kimberly Akimbo closed on Broadway - and just ahead of the final tour stop - the musical has recouped its investment.

But the New York Times insists that new musicals post-COVID can't be financially successful!

Unlike the Democratic leadership in Congress, which still suffers under the delusion that there's a rump of good Republicans who are better than this and really want to forge bipartisan solutions to get back to normal, former GOP allies like Bill Kristol know that it's time for major changes.

The $2.5 billion or so Trump's kids have made from crypto bribes, government contracts, and favor-seeking foreign governments would buy a shitload of Hunter Biden paintings.

Tweet from Reverend Jordan Wells: "Why So Many Protestants Are Done with the Modern Papacy I respect Catholicism deeply, but this is exactly why so many Protestants have major issues with the current direction of the Vatican. The Pope’s clear liberal political bent is impossible to defend."

This is an incredible tweet.
