This is one of those jokes you'll be able to pull out every couple of weeks.

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

This is NUTS

Republicans are doing everything they can to cover up the Epstein files and deny survivors accountability.

Bondi is refusing to testify and now Chairman Comer is canceling hearings to prevent us from issuing more subpoenas.

This is a brazen coverup & survivors deserve better.

Normally "indefinitely" implies "with no foreseeable end" but here it is very literally the absence of anything definite

why doesn’t the US increase the number of corners in the four corners area for more tourists?

I didn't know magicthenoah lived in japan, or was a firefighter!

House Republicans stood up a whole-ass select committee focused on Democrats' alleged weaponization of federal institutions for partisan purposes, only for the GOP to take control of the executive branch and _expressly_ weaponize government for partisan purposes.

I don't think it's particularly conspiracy-minded to think that these officers are prioritizing their own self-interests over the people and community they claim to serve. They took an oath to protect people, and I don't think they did a very good job of that for Melissa Hortman.

The French did something when the food disappeared, what was it again?

Something tells me they really want American bodies piling up. Some more dead troops for them to gesture patriotically at while continuing to do nothing for vets.

The guy the Nazis look up to wants you to know that he feels bad about how badly Trump is fucking up the whole fascism thing.

So they just decided to let her die, that's the story here, right?

Haha Trevor is such a whacky and unhinged character! I almost couldn't take him seriously as a person. Whats your favorite whacky and unhinged quote?

Its official!

InfoWars Let me tell you a story. When I was a child, I suffered from night terrors. It was always the same dream: I could hear my family and neighbors wailing…

Some timeline stuff:
— We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks.
— We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs.
— Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

CNN headline: John Henry dead, raises questions for the future of humans in tunnel boring industry.

I see headlines like this, and can only assume the people writing them see the human spirit as something that needs to be broken. Next you’ll be telling me a forklift can outperform the worlds strongest man at weight lifting, like no shit Sherlock, we don’t need constant reminders.

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog

to the extent Palantir is accurate about a threat to civilization it's that the architects of surveillance and torture were not charged and tried for building a nascent unaccountable panopticon and any healthy democracy would instead drive Alex Karp to ruin rather than give him public money for harm

I'd love to read something in a format other than Twitter posts from him on this; "the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized" is a banger.

9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.

Points 9, 18 and 19 go after accountability directly. Scrutiny of public figures gets reframed as a kind of cultural sickness driving talent away from public life. The problem becomes the people doing the scrutinising, not the people being scrutinised.
