Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Is there ever a line for the demented cult otherwise known as the GOP?

The completely and utterly deranged POTUS, who constantly acts like a completely unhinged maniac, has now called for killing Democrats in Congress who say the military shouldn’t follow *ILLEGAL* orders. He is a fucking lunatic.

People are asking ”well if the court dismisses the Comey indictment for various kinds of fuckmuppetry by the moronic and debased Trump Justice Department, the statute of limitations has run and so Comey is free, right?

It depends on the particular kind of fuckmuppetry.

Last week, Suncoast Searchlight's four reporters wrote a letter to their board. Their editor-in-chief had secretly been using ChatGPT and inserting hallucinated quotes into their drafts.

The next day, one of those reporters was fired. My latest for @niemanlab.org. www.niemanlab.org/2025/11/flor...

True story. Before ACA when I decided to become an independent consultant I had to be examined by a nurse in my home for health insurance. Because I had a pre-existing condition she told me I would be denied, unless I gave her $200. I had to pay the nurse a bribe to get health insurance.
