Ah yes, a review. Just like the review of causes of autism. Just like the review of vaccines. Just like they'll be reviewing every last thing about trans people's healthcare. Just like they'll continue to review other aspects of women's healthcare. Maybe in the end they'll review healthcare for non-whites and mental healthcare for leftists. All for the sake of a better understanding, all out of genuine concern, all with a completely open mind.

We don't want to be kidnapped by cops, we don't want to pay tariffs to Trump's corrupt government, and we don't want to give our money to the country that's trying to destroy ours.

Susan Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, worked for a lobbying firm that represented Qatar. Attorney General Pam Bondi lobbied for the Qataris. Mike Huckabee, now US Ambassador to Israel, was paid $50,000 to visit Qatar in 2018. Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, also has pocketed money from Qatar. In 2023, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund bought the Park Lane Hotel from Witkoff’s company in a $623 million deal. The Trump Organization itself recently struck a deal to develop a luxury golf resort in Qatar. And now Qatar is considering handing as a gift to Trump a jumbo airliner worth about $400 million for Trump to use as Air Force One.

If I didn't know the Republicans were such fine, upstanding, morally sound people, I'd start to suspect fuckery.

Teen Vogue. It was publishing good, hard-hitting investigative journalism for a while.

A spokesperson for Cohen later released a statement, “We are expected to be good Americans and look the other way as Israel prevents food, water, and medicine from reaching the remaining people of Gaza. Israel is literally starving them to death… We will not look away. We will not be silenced. We will do everything we can to get our government to stop being complicit in starving little kids to death.”

Well said. And good on him for standing up.

Sounds a bit like actual work. Rich people don't like to do actual work.

It's like everything with them: they talk about principles but what they really mean is everything must be bent to their advantage. When following their claimed principles would help someone else, they abandon the principles or move the goalposts.

No other nation with self-respect...

As a British person, I'm unclear how your comment relates to the UK.

Finally, a SpaceX mission we can all get behind.

The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.

she was accused of trying to help an undocumented immigrant evade arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Dugan is charged with concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of proceedings. She could face up to six years in prison and a maximum fine of $350,000 if convicted.

Seems to me she was trying to ensure that this person got their due process and their day in court, not just an extrajudicial kidnapping and trafficking to a foreign concentration camp. She made a small gesture to help justice as it's supposed to be enacted in the USA, and the regime is determined to make an example of her for it.

Turns out, states' rights, free speech, right to bear arms, small government, constitutional originalism, deregulation, border security, religious liberty, education reform, law and order, personal freedom... the whole Republican platform has all along been code for oppressing minorities.
