This DOGE staffer's name is Justin Fox. I can't tell if he's completely incompetent, or just abjectly cynical. But he should get credit by name for the immeasurable damage he has done.

I imagine the Iranian diaspora is where the Venezuelan diaspora was a month ago. Coming to the realization that Trump is a completely unreliable, perfidious ally. And I don't say this to gloat. Feeling a measure of hope only to have it ripped away has got to be an absolute gut punch

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

@mayorbowser.dc.gov why does Jason Bagshaw still have a job? His actions run counter to home rule. Absolutely stomach churning how someone who worked J6 would a few short years later would help doge break into a private building. He may be delusional, but you don't have to be.

Messi going to the white house and giving trump a bedazzled, pink soccer ball tells me this. Look for your heros locally. Because the internationally famous heros we brought with us from the before times seem uniquely unfit for the moment were in.

So many failures by MPD here, but the most painful is they didn't seem to care that they were helping DOGE undermine Home Rule.

Jerry Falwell Sr. stiffed me on a tip when I was 18. I almost ran out of the restaurant to yell at him, but my manager told me it wasn't a good idea, unless I wanted to get fired.

Anyone Want To See Kash Patel Fall On His Ass While Playing Hockey? | Defector It was a busy week for FBI Director and special little guy Kash Patel. On Sunday, he was slamming Michelob Ultras in Team USA’s locker room. Midweek he was firing a dozen veteran agents in retaliation...

This Carved, Painted Zapotec Tomb Is Mexico's Most Important Archaeological Discovery in a Decade The tomb features the carvings of a huge owl head and at least three probable ancestors

So beautiful. I love how they poured mezcal on the floor before entering.

Woman:  Y a t'il un docteur ici?.
Man: Je suis docteur. Que se passe t'il?
Woman: Une attaque cardiaque !
Man: Je suis docteur en philosophie !
Woman:  Il va mourir...
Man: Nous allons tous mourir.

UNC-CH Will β€˜Scrap’ New Recording Policy, Chancellor Says The move comes less than three weeks after the controversial rules were enacted.

Congrats to @ncaaup.bsky.social & all who fought against this surveillance policy that would've allowed admin to hijack microphones in the classroom for secret recordings.

This move would've chilled classroom discussion & suppressed students' willingness to ask questions & take intellectual risks.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His β€˜Girls’

This is truly one of the most revolting things to come out of the epstein files. Doctors are often trained to spot victims of trafficking. These high profile concierge docs just looked away, over & over again, at the evidence slapping them right in the face. & itt kills me so many of them were women

I look at ICE behavior from a moral lens. What they are doing is wrong. But even if you look at it from the macho POV, it looks bad. Throwing a blind man to the curb when you're wearing tactical gear & armed to the hilt doesn't make u look strong. You can't win an unfair fight.

OMG. Did not know that...and now that I've read up on it, I question why would anyone agree to meet him in 2018 unless there was a really well developed story they were investigating. And, why would they meet at his house? Ick. yuk. gross. skin crawling.

Peter Attia Out at CBS News After Epstein Files Correspondence Disclosures (Exclusive) The longevity researcher and health influencer had been named a contributor to CBS by Bari Weiss last month.

Bari Weis fought keep him, but Peter Attia has decided to resign from CBS effective immediately. It's kind of amazing that the guy whose name shows up 1,700 times in the Epstein files has a better read the room better than Bari Weis.

Taking out kingpins usually spurs bloody succession fights. Seems like a regression to the early Calderon days. Curious what Sheinbaum's end game is here?
