Annual reminder that there was a single, brief burst in which a bunch of things named after Columbus were named after Columbus and it was the result of a political project to create a founding hero who wasn’t linked to Britain.

It's not at all hyperbolic to say the president is trying to denaturalize and deport my congressional representative

There is simply no future for Syracuse Football in the 21st century. Fran’s first season was lightning in a bottle and there is nothing better possible. A 10 win seasons once per decade is as good as this school can ever be. Sucks.

Sen. Schmitt not knowing the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes & spending government money to make a big chart he then takes down as his error becomes obvious is Vonnegut x DeLillo x Terry Gilliam in real time

If the president has an approval rating in the low 30s, doesn't seem like his press secretary really "perfected" the art of defending him from criticism. Seems like she was actually pretty bad at the job?

Trump administration would rather your loved ones die from overdose than find out if their drugs are contaminated with fentanyl and other dangerous adulterants. They believe that “the wages of sin” ought to be death. Meanwhile, they’re massacring people in boats to fake “protect” people from drugs.

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

Parental "rights" are always actually enacted as parental powers over others rather than rights to be free from op oppression. Makes you think

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

I don’t see how it could be accidental. US weaponry is precise. The US president threatened to do this. The water facilities were more remote, unlike the school hit early in the war (adjacent to a naval compound, previously part of it). Not even a statement from the US saying accident. War crime.

This is deeply disingenuous and, frankly, a dereliction of journalistic integrity. A quick glance at Yum! Brand’s annual filings reveal that this is common language included every single year as an investment risk factor. The most recent filing is no different because the risk is always present.

In this section of his speech, Trump is lying about the intelligence community's findings about China's actions in the 2020 election. This is the actual IC finding, declassified in 2021. www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/d...
Key Judgment 4: We assess that China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election. We have high confidence in this judgment. China sought stability in its relationship with the United States, did not view either election outcome as being advantageous enough for China to risk getting caught meddling, and assessed its traditional influence tools—primarily targeted economic measures and lobbying—would be sufficient to meet its goal of shaping US China policy regardless of the winner. The NIO for Cyber assesses, however, that China did take some steps to try to undermine
former President Trump’s reelection.

My grandmother had a saying: "And Magda Goebbels made a great strudel." For years I didn't understand it, until my mother explained that some glossy magazine once ran a puff piece on Magda Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda queen - complete with her strudel recipe. My grandmother, who despised the Nazis with every ounce of her soul, used it as shorthand for the way media will sanitize evil by focusing on something trivial, domestic, or charming while ignoring the atrocities staring us in the face.
