I know Musk is high on the list of Most Responsible For How Things Are but the person I loathe most is Jenny McCarthy and whichever editor/producer platformed her. Once someone decided she knew more than a doctor we were fucked forever. She's the reason people believe TikTok and YouTube.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Interesting. Thank you, America.gov!
Screenshot of America.gov answering whether the Trump administration has arrested any of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients or co-conspirators during Trump’s current term. It says no arrests could be verified and cites a July 2025 DOJ/FBI review stating it found no incriminating “client list” or evidence sufficient to predicate an investigation of uncharged third parties.

I only just learned that the non-war war, which we won in the first hour but ended again 38 days later as it continued, has been retroactively ended in May while it goes on in September. Also that getting nuked is the only alternative to high gas prices caused by Iran closing the strait that’s open.
