Collins said the new InfoWars won't only poke fun at the far right. He sees it as an opportunity to go after all the "stupid" stuff on the internet and beyond — like influencers pushing beef tallow, van lifers who "shove 80 kids into the back of an RV and call it a house," and AI guys who "have the very mind virus that they think everyone else has." "We want Infowars to be a place where you strive to be instead of a psychopathic website where they sell supplements for your broken penis," Collins said. In his view, there was only one good thing Jones did with Infowars: "It's a great logo. It's a great name for what's going on, unfortunately."

Kam is also sponsoring the bill to legalize robo taxis.
Kam also voted the age gating bill out of committee and again for it in the house.
Kam is not the progressive hero he positions himself as.
Youth is wasted on the young blah blah blah but at the time I was just trying to survive a space that felt overwhelming and hostile and it's crazy what building a personal sense of stability can do for a motherfucker
I wish I could take another class with Prof. Levmore.
Just, you know, without it costing like five figures. (Or four, for that matter.)
As the top comment says: A huge moment for sad people.
I've already listened to this version of American Cars multiple times. PTO is great. Fuck, this album is gonna be so good.

"Independent analysis" conducted by a firm they paid for, I'm sure

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.

CHICAGO IS THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA No. 25 CR 693 v. MICHAEL RABBITT, et al. Judge April M. Perry GOVERNMENT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO SUBMIT GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTS FOR IN CAMERA REVIEW The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by its attorney, ANDREW S. BOUTROS, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, respectfully submits this unopposed motion for an extension of time until April 23, 2026, to provide the relevant portions of the grand jury transcripts to the Court for an in camera review. On April 8, 2026, defendants filed their motion to compel disclosure of the grand jury transcripts. Dkt. 118. On April 9, 2026, this Court directed the government to respond or, in the alternative, provide the relevant portions of the transcripts to the Court for an in camera review by April 20, 2026. Dkt. 119. The government respectfully requests an extension of time until no later than April 23, 2026, to provide the Court all relevant portions of the transcripts as outlined in the defense motion, for an in camera review. This extension will allow the government the opportunity to obtain all relevant transcripts to provide the Court, which it has been seeking to obtain. The government has conferred with all defense counsels and they do not object to this request.
In the Chicago protesters criminal case:
1. Defendants' request grand jury transcripts on April 8.
2. Order on April 9 that DOJ has until April 20 to respond or submit relevant docs for court's review by April 20.
3. On April 20, DOJ asks for an extension until April 23.
There's a war on for your mind.

A breaking update from @timheidecker.bsky.social.
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.

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”
It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
Fun fact: The Onion's acquisition of Infowars was an almost 2-year long process that cost a shit ton of money.
Much more fun fact: You can show your appreciation by subscribing to the Onion for $9 a month AND get a print copy delivered right to your doorstep. membership.theonion.com
one of my favorite parts of the onion infowars saga is how Alex Jones lost his fucking mind when they first bought it,,,,, partly because he didn't know or understand what the onion was
If you watch anything today, make it be this clip of @bencollins.bsky.social talking about what real strength is:
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
I hadn't really thought about the risks of making yourself The Bad Object to the most unhinged people in the world
Mr. Onion willingly accepting those risks in order to turn something incredibly vile and cancerous into something extremely silly is beautiful
i'm happy to see the onion take over infowars. i've been a big fan of the onion for quite a long time and it's given me plenty of laughs over the years. and as for infowars, i really disliked alex jones and disagreed with him on a whole lot of things. so to me, this whole situation is a win-win
Watch the whole episode here:
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.
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.
We've been waiting for this project for over a year.

I smiled when I read this, because it speaks truth to power. Then, I got angry, because of who is wielding power. Then, I remembered my first lesson as an activist, “Don’t just get angry. Get organized!”
