Kobayashi Maru that shit. The whole premise is bullshit. Shut the trolley down. No one needs to die.

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

Kristi Noem's $220M Horseback Riding Ad Dwarfed the Budgets of These 2026 Oscar Nominees Outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem used $220 million in taxpayer money to create a minute-long anti-immigration ad. That's more than the combined production and marketing budgets of nearly every 2026 ...

Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.

Trump Is Obsessed With These $145 Shoes—and Won’t Let Anyone Leave Without a Pair Forget MAGA hats. The president is guessing shoe sizes and handing out dress shoes to friends and advisers.

LMAO he's guessing shoe sizes and handing out cheap shoes.... And all the Cabinet boys are afraid not to wear them.

Surely the President’s task force on antisemitism will be looking into this pronto to figure out how this could have happened.

South Dakota Dems need to be proactive about using the law to challenge Republican voter registrations. Make it painful for them. make it costly for them.

IMO, any time Republicans create a law, Democrats should just use it against them until they get the picture.

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history

"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

The Pentagon calculated it was spending $1 billion a day on Trump and Netanyahu’s war. The truth? It was $3 billion…and that’s just for munitions.

Plus they’ve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.

'We’re scared.' Latin American players on edge as ICE tactics intensify Major League Baseball players and managers express fear and concern over increased immigration enforcement.

A Night Off With Chickens I’ve had lots of travel and lots of travel delays in the last week, so I’m going to take a night off now that I’m safely back home, and get a little extra sleep.

If you need some pictures of chickens tonight, I’m here for you.

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.

And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.

Oh, and by the way, not that we made this visit happen, but grateful for everyone that showed up at yesterday's Anti-ICE Minyan, in the shadow of the Fallon Federal Building in Baltimore where ICE continues to cruelly detain our neighbors. thanks JUFJ and Sanctuary Streets

I hate that I think this is a lie.

Do I think it could happen? Yes.

Do I think it's likely? Also yes.

Do I think this admin would lie about it, to get their way about something? Definitely yes.
