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.
In thinking about what to do about the rogue Court, we maybe focus a bit too much on court packing yes or no, granted that's the most important. But some of the less sexy things can be done by more mundane statutory fixes. Congress could, and should, nuke the shadow docket.
"This is what you get when you elect Republicans."
Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly.
Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time.
Fucking say it!
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
These headlines quoting Trump about a "Lebanon-Israel ceasefire" are deceptive propaganda. This is Israel agreeing to suspend for 10 days a horrific, relentless bombing campaign that has killed over 2,000 people, displaced 1.2 million, and terrified even more.

51 attacks and counting. All of them chronicled @theintercept.com

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."
Stocks rise on news that most of the ill effects of the war will fall on poor people.
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
Any notion that Trump can get the economy “back on track” or dampen the economic shockwaves he has unleashed ignores the substance of what he’s done. Not only are the Trump II attacks on economic growth hard to reverse, let alone quickly, they’re deeply wired into who he is and what he’s about.
The economic damage Trump has done was crafted purposely to create opportunities for self-enrichment for him and his allies. It generates its own currency which can be used to perpetuate his political power. What he dispenses he can take away.
In the aftermath of Viktor Orban’s defeat in Hungary, a typically shallow conventional wisdom has already emerged that unless President Trump gets the economy turned around, Republicans are going to have hell to pay in the 2026 and 2028 elections.

Two odious little men in search of a balcony from which to ignore our booing. Let them fight. Both have zero base and zero appeal and should spend their post trump years entirely in the company of crushingly expensive defense lawyers.
"Orban conceded so therefore Trump is no threat to US democracy" is quite the admission of not being a serious person.
Similar to "Jan. 6 didn't work so the extended two-month campaign that preceded it was not an attempted coup."
dems are not perfect but they got this guy out in the span of a weekend, while the republicans made Hegseth the secretary of defense
Shall we be dragged by him to the bottom of the sea? Shall we be towed by him to the infernal world?

Miserable country

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.
the fact that he’s using it for propaganda makes me regret ever painting this
loser
I know he is demented and degenerate and mostly pretty dumb too. But Pope Leo is weak on crime is one of the funniest things a politician has ever said.
170 dead civilians is far more than Gacy, Bundy, and Dahmer combined.

oh god oh fuck I took the metro to the Tisza rally and all these kids POURED OUT of the train at the stop and started running up the escalators chanting, and briefly held hands with the older people leaving the rally and going down on the escalator, and I think I may actually just cry
