This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

I really enjoy cooking vegan because I'm generally just cooking to taste and consistency and not cooking to destroy deadly bacteria or parasites or whatever. I also never take tofu out of the fridge and smell it and think "I dunno, is it bad? Will this kill me?"

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

More reading, less doom scrolling. Finished this one up tonight. Can't say I knew much about MLK's killer, so this was an engaging, quick read. Would recommend.

The clear path here in the latest (and dumbest) season of _America_ is to simply stop testing. Probably. Problem solved!

It's important to remember that this is happening because the Republican Party - controlling all three branches of government- is allowing it to happen. This isn't just Musk and Trump, it's all of these traitors not allowing oversight to happen and questions to be answered.
WATCH: “Elon Musk is out of order.”

Chaos as House Oversight Dems tried to subpoena Elon Musk to publicly testify on his dismantling of the government and civil service — but Republicans protected him and blocked it.

First they came for the "criminal illegal aliens," and I said nothing.

We already know how this story goes.
This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Took a few months but finally finished this excellent 959 page beast of a book.

It's a jarring contrast to the traitors and con men currently speed running the destruction of our economic and social fabric.

What a strange and confusing time to be alive.

“There’s still this idea that news is only ‘real’ once it’s confirmed by big corporate outlets. After all, could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story? Now we know the answer is yes.”

If people are so incredibly worried about food dyes and the health effects on their bodies, just wait till they find out what eating animals does!

Food companies have two years to get red dye No.3 out of their products. But other synthetic dyes have also raised concerns, because of behavioral issues in kids. Here's what parents need to consider.

You might say you're not a Nazi, but if the Nazis think you're a Nazi, maybe it's time for some introspection.

Just like Trump 1.0 when he said he wasn't a white supremacist. Maybe, but the white supremacist groups sure do love his work and think he's one of them. So.

RFK Jr. opposed the life-saving Covid vaccine just six months into the pandemic. Peddled anti-science conspiracies. Waffled on women's reproductive rights.

And he wants us to trust him to make health care decisions for Americans? I have serious concerns — and 175 questions.
