Hey everybody! I am taking the helm of this classic American institution with @theonion.com and want to know what you fine folks would like to see from us.

Lol. Oregon MAGA sent their best.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

WOW: Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak have the memos that describe the origins of SCOTUS shadow docket - the 2016 order halting Obama’s Clean Power Plan @jodikantor.bsky.social @adamliptak.bsky.social @nytimes.com

This is type of shit that makes me nervous. Democrat consultants and party insiders are almost certain to try and blunt efforts to hold these fucking freaks accountable.

The super-rich are not worried about their car dying, or if they can afford daycare, how to feed a family & clothe growing children. They don't consider skipping a medication b/c of its cost.
But the rich want to feel oppressed, so they pretend slightly higher taxes is life or death. How dare they

My god the willful lack of perspective from this oligarch crybaby is stunning.

Oregon MAGA's finest!

Masked gunman who menaced students at anti-ICE school protest was a cop When high school kids in Phoenix staged an anti-ICE walkout in January, a masked man with a handgun approached the students and refused to leave. Police were summoned, but for…

Emergency Prices: How Private Equity Captured the Ambulance Market Emergency service costs have been going up for years, frustrating city officials. One reason seems to be private equity, which bought up ambulance makers and raised prices.

There's an ambulance market (I could stop there), private equity has rolled it up, and it's now delaying deliveries, tripling the cost for cities & creating shortages across the country.
This is what happens as we shout about what podcasts politicians should go on

Bernie didn’t get the votes…in large part because the party machine lined up their resources against him with the express purpose of quelling his anti-corporate, populist message. To ignore the machinations of the party powerful is to deliberately misunderstand the situation.

100's of dildos were thrown at ICE in Portland, Oregon tonight. April 11, 2026. I dont know if blue sky allows those images.

This is former Utah judge Kevin Christensen, charged with 8 counts of child sexual abuse. He's pled to 3 counts, and faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not undocumented.

He is, however, an elected Republican official.

Northwest reporters (including the great reporter who wrote this article) have been talking about Doug Wilson’s hateful beliefs since the early 2010s. It would have been rad if the rest of the country hadn’t discarded him as a freak of the NW with no wide appeal.

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

NEW: Oregon has 15 DA elections this year.

Each and every one drew just one candidate.

So I had to write about what’s going on with these uncontested elections — here, and elsewhere. boltsmag.org/oregon-uncon...

@leahsottile.bsky.social and I sat down on the first Local News Day to discuss the layoffs at the Roseburg News Review and how the bedrock of the media ecosystem is rapidly disappearing.

I’m not sure, but an unbothered person probably wouldn’t write and then post this.

Two hours left to live, what are you guys listening to?

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

WHAT THE FUCK AND FOR THE SAKE OF OUR NATION PEOPLE, WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!

An added wrinkle to this pattern of mass disassociation is that the President is permanently disassociated...he can say "Mamdani is a terrorist who must deported" one day and then the next day have a chummy photo op with him in the White House. His words & his actions are totally unlinked.

Maybe he shit his pants on the field trip? When I was a child that happened to a kid in my class when we went to the zoo.

Portland PD terminates corporal following December arrest investigation Bodycam footage obtained by KRIS 6 News shows the moment a former Portland PD corporal arrested a man for filming him during a December altercation.

If PPB had body cams in 2020 I would have never been arrested. Far right influencers would have nothing on me. PPB has zero guilty verdicts on me after arresting me over 20 times.

Ever since PPB got body cams I haven't been arrested they can't lie about me anymore. share.google/JvxHgIIloXtY...

Soooooo….it worked?
