In Lawsuit Not Mentioning the Olympics, Kash Patel Swears He's Not a Drunk

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Stonewall was led by TRANS WOMEN. This is completely unacceptable!

Cover of Mother Jones with an image of fingers pointing at John Roberts and the coverline "Blame John Roberts for Everything"

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Raskin, tireless defender for transparency, is taking on Kushner’s conflicts of interest. While the latter juggles dollars from Middle Eastern governments under Trump’s watchful eye, Raskin makes it clear that Kushner’s fraudulent enrichment will not go unnoticed.

Why do I suddenly want popcorn. A LOT of popcorn?

God thinks all people like you are hateful
God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation
Self righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone
And you're using His name for your own protection

We had to hide in the bathroom (no basement) FOUR times this week! And 3 people is a mite crowded for our tiny bathroom.

Content warning.

This is John Abendshien, 79. He previously owned the Winnetka house where “Home Alone” was filmed.

He was just arrested & charged this week and charged on 7 counts of CSAM of children aged 4 to 15.

Once again. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not a Mexican. smh

He doesn’t even understand that his insanity is showing.
When he’s gone, do not forgive or forget the elected Republican’s who made and keep making all this embarrassing chaos possible.
Make their lives miserable when they are out in public!

Dear Media:

Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.

We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying them for sex. I feel this needs to be emphasized much more than it is.

And there it is....

Update in Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against his own I.R.S., in which he seeks taxpayer-funded damages for the prior release of his tax records

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.
