WH briefing today. Q. Does the President intend to permanently cut off funding to NGOs that are bringing illegal foreign nationals to the country such as Catholic Charities?
A. I am actually quite certain that the president signed an executive order that did just that, and I can point you to that.

My wife, who I cherish, was telling me that there's a hybrid between skiing and snowboarding akin (as she described it) to ice skating down a mountain. My wife, who is not the most... coordinated, suggested she might like to try it. I suggested I would put her in an insane asylum first.

My wife has this fantastic Black Friday tradition. Since absolutely everyone emails you on Black Friday she spends the day unsubscribing from unwanted solicitors.

Admittedly, I don't watch much boxing but this has to be some of the worst commentating I've ever heard in a live sporting event.

I know it's too soon for some to talk about uniting this country, but we ought not miss this golden opportunity. Can't we all join together with one voice and celebrate watching Mike Tyson beat the shit out of Jake Paul?

Hey @bencollins.bsky.social #serioustalk for just a second. A lot can and will be said about your purchase of InfoWars, but you should strongly consider consulting with an exorcist before you let any employees near that place.

I hear the USCCB approved the new liturgical NT text today (it still has to be approved by Rome before it goes into effect). I would very much love to see some samples at least of the text.

Ok, so worst possible timeline, I figure that means Matt Gaetz as Speaker of the House? Making the line of succession: Vance, Gaetz, Grassley, Rubio, Hegseth. Sounds about right.

Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy. So, Josh Lyman I guess? And queued up to be Chief of Staff as soon as his first one quits... Worst timeline.

I'm skeeting here instead of starting a fight in someone's replies. Look, I'm growing! I'm deeply amused (if also saddened) by folks who claim their atheism is the product of them knowing the Bible so well. Usually the very framing of the premise reveals their ignorance of the topic.

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe

When far-right pundits use concerns about natural resource scarcity to push the anti-immigrant “great replacement theory,” they’re using a playbook created decades ago by environmentalist & white nationalist John Tanton and still promoted by groups he founded like the Center for Immigration Studies
