ok the Mr. Beast lawsuit, let’s go.

step 1: don’t do this, or this, or this, or this

That reporters and executives are clamoring to get into a Don Jr party does not bode well for America if daddy runs him as a proxy in ‘28 on the keep everyone out of jail platform. I really don’t think they’re there because of entertainment detouring from the state fair and Indian casino circuit.

Andrew Huberman Linked to Secret Industry Smear Machine New litigation alleges the wellness guru’s ex-girlfriend was targeted in a mud-slinging scheme following a 2024 New York Magazine investigation about him.

Every single one of these men who engaged this team for digital smear campaigns against women who told the truth about them need to be dumped off their pedestals but quick.

Viewpoint diversity is good unless I don’t like the view.

Trump truly is a master. He's made Democrats look competent on the economy.

Do people get how difficult it is for Democrats to pull that off? The deeply ingrained viewpoint of Republicans as better on the economy is so consistent I tend to take it as a political given.

Guys I'm watching the CA governor's debate and don't worry, we're not going to have a Republican governor

Your Guide to NASA's Budget How big is NASA's budget right now? What was it like in the past? How does it compare to the rest of government spending? These answers, as well as…

While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget.

NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy...

The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%.

NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

Ok, so "At least the last guy only pushed the "Golden Fleet" to flatter Trump, the new guy believes in witchcraft" is a sentence one could write about Navy Secretaries in 2026.

Is the idea to wave a magic wand to open the Strait of Hormuz?

Live from @theonion.com HQ.

So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

“”I read an article today where they think Bobby is going to be really great for the Republican Party in the midterms,” Trump said during a Cabinet meeting in January, referring to the health secretary. “So, I have to be very careful that Bobby likes us.””

You get measles, he gets influencers.

Batshit crazy

The alleged “stalking” in question:

Nothing to worry about, just the Heritage Foundation publishing an article on how the Republican Congress can refuse to seat Democrats www.heritage.org/election-int...

Federal Job Cuts Hit Black Women Hard — A Year Later, Unemployment Is Up Losses in government positions are undermining a critical engine of economic mobility for the Black middle class.

Love a followup story: Last year there was a lot of reporting on how Black women were disproportionately affected by budget cuts, and here are the numbers to back it up.

As attacks from the Trump administration and its backers in Congress continue, health care costs are rising for patients and communities, as other providers cannot fill the gap left by Planned Parenthood health centers. IT’S EVEN HARDER TO GET BIRTH CONTROL Taking away access to birth control and basic care creates contraceptive deserts in more communities *In 2025, over 50 Planned Parenthood health centers closed across 18 states, including over 20 closures since H.R. 1 was passed. Nearly all closures occurred in contraceptive deserts. • When people cannot afford the full cost of contraception, they rely on a network of publicly funded providers that offer free or reduced-fee care through public funding, primarily Medicaid coverage and Title X-funded services for individuals living with low-incomes or uninsured. *Planned Parenthood health centers serve one-third of all female patients seeking contraceptive care at publicly funded health clinics. • Over half of the counties where a Planned Parenthood health center closed now lack any Planned Parenthood provider. In those counties, these centers provided the majority of contraceptive care for low-income women in those counties

The war on birth control access is well underway, it's just less explicit

Planned Parenthood says 50 of its clinics closed last year as a result of an anti-abortion budget provision—and nearly all of them were in contraceptive deserts (link in alt). Translation: it's now harder to get birth control

Turns out there are California laws against kidnapping. if they're not going to identify themselves a state could always presume that they are not federal agents at all and let them prove their identity later.

Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

@MargoMartin47 Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! A photo of the GA women’s tennis team in the background with a gaggle of fragile men standing in of them, nearly hiding them, and Trump on a riser so he can hide his true height. The room appears to smell of axe body spray and male fragility.

Male fragility in one photo.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

This isn’t a scientific debate.

This is government censorship.

This is Lysenkoism, as @gregggonsalves.bsky.social pointed out last year.

And this will not end well.

Gosh. Who could have predicted this state of affairs? www.techdirt.com/2024/12/10/f...

the accused was, per this report, a fan of adolf hitler. color me surprised.

With the result in Virginia, here's what we know about how mid-decade redistricting has shifted the landscape.

Across the 7 states with new maps:
—11 districts have shifted toward Democrats;
—9 districts have shifted toward the GOP.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo A U.S. aid worker said that the Afghans, who were evacuated to Qatar, would face a choice between moving to the Democratic Republic of Congo and living under the Taliban.
