I rarely do this, but here goes.
Dems should have VERY clear messaging on supplemental tied to the ouster of Whiskey Pete, Jared, and Witkoff. They've all ABSOLUTELY bolloxed the situation and if Trump wants $$, he needs to get rid of all of them.
Yikes! That’s gonna be comedy gold for him down at The Buck Stops Here open mike night, but still!
Well, well, well... I don't want to hear a damned thing about why Mamdani really HAD to break his campaign and post election promises re our library budget. You all should be pushing him to do what he said he would do.
So @mady.cat's in-depth analysis from just after the 2024 presidential election remains evergreen.
The Democratic party ditching trans people isn't just incredibly evil, it's electoral suicide as well:
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Leeches and a good clyster will fix you right up, Bobert! Maybe a mustard plaster if it’s real stubborn, and then go walk 400 miles in your bare feet on dirt paths while saying only Hail Marys and Our Fathers, so Santiago knows you‘re serious about needing a healing!

It’s funny when these assholes trust modern medicine and when they don’t, isn’t it?

Probably the most exciting news you'll read today. A single-dose oral treatment for gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT)--also known as sleeping sickness--has been recommended for approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
There are $3-6 pens you can try, and because they lay down ink differently, you might find your handwriting improves, or is less painful. They need almost no pressure, so your muscles can relax. A disposable can last for years. Pilot Varsity, Zebra Fuentes, and Itoya Blades are pretty common.
This an egregious insult, precisely the type of appalling disrespect that buffoon has for all branches of the military.
Keeping a list of houses to clean.
Rising gas prices in 2026 should not be treated like rising gas prices in 1970, we can and should use this as a moment to hyperscale decarbonizing the economy.
I’ve been 95% car free for 6 years now, really not worried about the price of oil on a personal level. E-bike + bus pass is cheap!
The world is rightly concerned w/a potential water war in the Gulf, but there is silence (outside of expat media) of the crisis currently happening in Cuba. W/regular blackouts that can last for days & the lack of fuel to pump water, diseases are spreading & taps are running dry. Where's the media?!
How do you write an entire article about someone getting scammed into buying sub-standard copper and not mention Ea-nāṣir?

"But unlike [Renee Good and Alex Pretti], Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic."

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api
… are there words in the scream? Is it distress?

It's insufficient and tacky af, but it's a start. Go ye thereforth, etc. etc. etc.
Span discovers that small towns often can't grow because local electricity supplies won't support growth. Wind and solar break that logjam, allowing small towns to modernize and thrive: www.theatlantic.com/science/2026...
Fair, do prepare to be disappointed, though. Peas are easy sprouters but rough producers. and a children’s electric toothbrush is a good substitute for a bee for pollination.
(pea shoots are an excellent pea option for indoor growing, though. Good in salads, good in stir fries, no pollination needed, and seeds are bulk buy available if you just pretend you like British mushy peas and get the marrowfat peas.)

Writer Katelyn Burns pushes back against transphobic Atlantic article suggesting yet again the lie that gender diverse gay kids are being pushed into trans identity and GAC by affirming parents. With Cass Rpt it was butch girls here it's effeminate boys.
The Heritage Foundation and all its affiliated should be dismantled, with malice.
It's literally the same phone. Only a fool would buy it
Literally every employer I have ever had going all the way back to being a lifeguard on Plattsburgh city Beach someone used the phrase
"We're a FAMILY here at $Company_name"
it means just what it means at home with your family:
"we expect you to provide uncompensated labor."
Always Has.
More survivors of IEDs & many more lower body injuries, which means many pelvic and genital injuries. We fix what we can surgically, but nerve damage often means after care is meds. Since we can restore function, saying those men shouldn’t have kids/sex lives is well into eugenics territory.
And it is worth remembering the current total headcount is 1.3 million active duty. So having a whole service Labor Day barbecue* for $15 million is actually pretty damn good as far as catering/bulk food goes.
*aka morale maintenance exercise
Nothing bad ever happened after a government demanded a list like this, right?
