This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Why don't people just swallow condoms full of oil and then fly it out of the region on a commercial airliner?

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Give it up for @randyhermanlaw.com. He gives us this wonderful thread on the hearing for the fed'l prosecutor who used AI to write his filings, filled w/ fake quotes and citations.
You will each have your own favorite post in the thread, but this Princess Bride knockoff ranks right up there for me
"What does [term] mean to you?"
"Whatever the lawyers say it needs to mean."
I actually think Herbert deserves plenty of the blame for people “misunderstanding” the Dune books. He SAYS they’re about the dangers of messianic leaders, but internal to the narrative the atrocities Paul & his descendants commit are painted as ultimately necessary to humanity’s survival.
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
Oh my god this is perfect.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Me: so like at the end of a “season” you can decide who ascends to a higher state of being
Aaron Rodgers: *sobbing*
Me: yeah so uh videogames are cool
He’s in the Epstein files
I am absolutely convinced that one of the reasons our imperialism continues unchecked year after year is because white suburbs never see the consequences. They're not occupied by soldiers or bombed by munitions. Even school shootings are just a fact of life, so dead people abroad barely register.
French Laundry chef again scolds Bay Area town over affordable housing project
lmfao Thomas Keller showing up to a community meeting in his chefs jacket to complain about affordable housing being built near his 3 Michelin star restaurant is just beyond parody. what a piece of shit
Tuberville is aggressively stupid just like Mullin, Johnson, and Blackburn, but he’s also deeply lazy and that sets him apart. He’s not toxically online like the others, he’s really just there to cash in on the insider trading.
The only power this Congress has is to repeatedly punch itself in the dick.
There was MUCH less evidence for antisemitism from Mamdani than there is from Platner, but the fact that some Jews had concerns led Mamdani to do lots of Jewish outrage, meet with Jews, go to synagogues, and such. Platner is notably not doing that.
your new DHS secretary, everyone:
Corey Lewandowski to begin affair with Markwayne Mullin
Noem's been fired. Get a better look at Markwayne Mullin, the bully/pedophile/felon’s choice to take the helm at DHS.
Trading a headache for an upset stomach.
Since she refused to deny it, the press needs to ask Kristi Noem if she’s fucking Corey Lewandowski every single day until she answers.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
My wife told me that people not consuming a consistent diet of literature is why they struggle with empathy & putting themselves in the shoes of others & now I see it in everything.
Nothing surprising about this guy beating his chest & proudly proclaiming that he doesn’t read though.
No shit man.
A lot of AI researchers spent countless years debating the ethics of autonomous killing by AI and not nearly enough on AI assisted targeting for bombing campaigns. The atrocities are even worse. Over 100 dead school girls based on outdated maps and data.
