Texas is gonna have to face the fact that Presbyterians are very strict in requiring real education about the bible and how to be a good servant. I’m talking Princeton Theological Seminary and shit.
You cannot bull-shit them like they’re used to doing. They will correct you.
Honestly very funny how the megachurchification of the religious right has left them completely disarmed in the face of an extremely normal american Presbyterian
You gotta turn the chair around dramatically, plop down, spread out, before you lecture your youth group about this.
Yeah! Look, they have this prison guard supervisor making $5k cash deposits and driving around in a brand new Land Rover or whatever and nobody thought to say wait a minute, let’s look more to to this…
That’s a decision.
If you did your own half hour or so evening news I’d watch it before any others. CBS is going down in flames you got out just in time.
My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me. In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it. On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned. Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.
What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right. "It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do. Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go. It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.
I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:
Very well said. I never had anything this bad happen. Not outright idea and work product theft. But, starting out at small weekly papers (they used to have those!) I was treated as a non entity by entitled jackasses at local TV stations. They would not hesitate to just ignore we’d covered a story.
He is one of the best at CBS. His coverage and analysis are superb. Of he’s jumping off that boat that’s really saying something about CBS like it is a hopeless case.
I got the non hybrid 4x4 with six speed manual and it’s great but the back seat is just for tool storage and I can put someone back there in an emergency 😂
If you do get one you can get the six foot bed only with the access cab. My ‘24 Tacoma has 4 doors but a very short bed. And the back seats are really for very small adults or children. I think they ran out of room and had to have a place under the seat for the hybrid battery and junk.
A large ziplock storage bag should work fine. Jet fuel is basically kerosene so it’s not explosive or anything.
It’s interesting that Kahn sent this without comment to Epstein in 2018 using his company email. Kahn evidently took over responsibility for his money after death and the company has a jagged history.
Yep. You’re going to say “fuck tha police” one day and a month later you won’t be able to get through TSA.
Like a Tacoma access cab?
the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.
This is arguably the real “elite bubble.” The dumbest person most educated professionals have any meaningful social interaction with—the guy at the office they snicker about in the group chat—is a solid standard deviation brighter than the American mean. This necessarily skews one’s perspective.
Here’s a readable link in case you don’t want to log onto the WSJ. Lots of other information that makes it apparent that even if we stopped bombing tomorrow this will not stop being a big problem:

I hear ya. I mostly cast from a phone so that is way above my grade and some of the more sophisticated sites have defenses. You should submit a site and then watch all the URL codes and commands they use just to capture something like the WSJ. It goes on forever. It’s fascinating.
There ya go! Any glitch in the system will allow her opponent to win. Complete focus on getting votes from those who would normally never vote-including registered Republicans-is essential. His opponent must summon the strength to run on something other than banning guns. If not, she’ll be a Beto.
I was looking for this comment. Exactly how I feel about it. And if you are a world leader what is he gonna do about it?
He just won a primary against someone who dropped out. Find out who his Democratic opponent is in November and support him against all odds if you don’t like him.
“Stop tickling me! Seriously!”
-anyway, I guess he’s confirming Russia helped attack us and we did absolutely nothing. Pathetic. At least clear the air in Ukraine or something.
I didn’t either. Might be worth a look into who owns it right now because they just had a damning article on the Manosphere and its characters which is so based I did not see it coming.
Ok, that’s two Playboy articles in a row. Evidently their writers have figured out how to describe trans issues to regular dudes and also nailed the “Manosphere” recently which is not for nothing some hard stuff to take correctly. This story and the prior link proves I read it for articles.
For Playboy, I wrote about Clavicular, masculinity, and the digital image www.playboy.com/read/enterta...
It works most of the time. If an article is too fresh just give it some time or submit it in the top bar. If it’s a link open it in a web page then paste it in the second bar and choose a recent thumbnail. You know the deal!

There’s never any real crisis until the gas or oil becomes scarce. Allocated like new Toyotas. That would be something to bet about but it’s not gonna happen because we produce a lot of it.
Had to doublecheck the date on this
We take it for granted what a great sense of humor our public servants of all kinds can have and you can see it when they are allowed to express themselves. For instance, teachers can’t post or talk to press in our district. Imagine if they could tell all of us what they’re really up to.
