This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

Two more people have died in ICE detention, bringing the total to at least 11 deaths in ICE custody in 2026. Unconscionable.

Tomorrow, I'm going to the Adelanto Detention Center to conduct oversight and demand answers about detention conditions. No one should die due to neglect in federal custody.

β€œthe cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

Trump: "I guess the worst case is we do this and then somebody takes over who is as bad as the previous person. That could happen."

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Pipe Dream/Mania is from 1989.
Bioshock is from 2007.

Bioshock is now older than Pipe Dream was when Bioshock was released lol

There's our big dying prune. There he is. Hair looking shittier than ever somehow, walking all decrepit, looking like a big old human shit. There he is kissing his mutants. Okay let's hear what new slurs he's come up with.

Best quote I heard tonight was Gov Abigail Spanberger on Trump’s immigration policy: β€œEvery minute spent sowing fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children, or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings.”
