So many wonderful moments from Catherine O'Hara, but this is the one I thought of. Just her and the camera and she makes it so, so, funny. Her performance is perfectly punctuated www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUGK...

How many n-words do you think were used when DOJ had the meeting to plan this travesty against free speech?
Lemon has one of the nation’s best lawyers and a national profile. I’m worried about the other reporter and two activists arrested with him.

Two federal judges found no probable cause of a crime, let alone proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Because the First Amendment exists.

This post demonstrates that a British accent is not an inherent indicator of intelligence.
Love how former Reporter Against Disinformation Ben Collins has essentially turned The Onion into his own personal cog in the anti-Democratic Party disinformation complex.

It appears that Kevin Warsh may be the next Fed Chair. You may not be familiar with his deeply unserious game. Allow me to offer you some collected receipts:
In case you forget or do not know who Kevin Warsh is, or how deeply unserious & wrong he was about more or less everything during the Global Financial Crisis & Great Recession, then here are some collected receipts: www.niskanencenter.org/just-say-no-...
Trump discussed a potential arrangement with Kevin Warsh on Wednesday in which Warsh would become the Treasury secretary with the understanding that he could later be nominated to lead the Federal Reserve when Jay Powell’s term as chair ends in 2026 www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

Gotta suck shit being a true Trump believer. You spend years roiling in anger over made-up bullshit. You fill a little bottle with piss or whatever and spray a 5-foot tall woman with it. She instantly squares up to kick the shit out of you. You go to jail. The goons you idolize say you work for her.
