“WE ARE ENDING THE WAR ON PROTEIN.” — Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Instagram, 1/11/26

In service of our mission to Make America Healthy Again, we are taking decisive action to end our country’s most protracted, most expensive, and most unjust war: The War on Protein.

For years, policymakers following misguided research have aggressively shaped federal guidance, influenced consumer behavior, and imposed restrictions preventing school lunches from consisting entirely of heaping chunks of brisket. After extensive review of the “science,” this administration has decided instead to trust our gut, and our gut really likes a rare ribeye.

Therefore, effective immediately, this administration will begin a phased drawdown of all anti-protein measures.

Welcome to Fascist Busytown. My, what a compliant, orderly town!

In Fascist Busytown, everyone works. Working is important. Work makes everything run smoothly. When everything runs smoothly, no one has to ask questions. Working also keeps Fascist Busytown safe. Safety is important, especially when there are so many people who do not belong here.

Adults are workers. Children are workers too. Children are especially good workers because they are small. They can fit into places where adults cannot go, like factories with narrow gaps, crawl spaces under warehouses, and air vents where important listening happens.

Are you a worker? Are you sure?

Some workers work indoors. Some workers work outdoors. Some work in unmarked Chevy Tahoes, doing jobs that Fascist Busytown residents are encouraged to ignore. These workers travel from place to place. They pick up strangers. They pick up whoever they want. They deliver them to a processing facility two thousand miles away in less time than it’ll take you to read this story.

Complaints about civilians killed or injured in the U.S. attack on Venezuela are instead being handled by the Pentagon directly.

So you want to have a baby. That’s the biggest decision you’ve ever made in your life. And with it comes an endless list of to-dos, supply needs, and pointers to make sure you don’t screw up this kid’s childhood. But before you get to any of that, have you double-checked that you have all the necessary prerequisites to be eligible for the role of “parent”?

Surely, if you’re ready to take on that responsibility, all of the below should be no problem:

Keep a minimum of two plants alive for at least three months

Plug in your phone before going to bed so it’s not dead when you wake up five nights in a row

Mark all 6,709 unread emails on your phone as “read”

Learn the difference once and for all between shallots, scallops, and scallions

Cancel the subscription to Sling TV you accidentally enrolled in five years ago

Understanding the intuitive power of the word ‘natural’ could help inform choices about what to eat or what to do when ill

As deadly riots burn Iranian cities, Western media ignores the shocking wave of violence, turning instead to US government-funded NGOs for data. The one-sided portrayal has helped push Trump to the brink of authorizing renewed US attacks. Western media has ignored a growing trove of video evidence showing terrorist tactics deployed across Iran by protesters described by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch as “largely peaceful.” Recent videos published both by Iranian state media and anti-government forces reveal public lynchings […]

The Foreskin Tactical Hoodie is the antithesis of all things feminine and female. It comes in black, brown, and olive green. It does not come in fuchsia, lilac, or ecru. It is perfect for outdoorsmen and army-man dress-up parties. It is not for doing stuff women normally do, like yoga, crying, or watching Heated Rivalry.

Yes, it has so many pockets that it is basically a wearable purse. But don’t get the wrong idea; it is only for men. A purse is obviously full of feminine items such as tissues, mascara, and loose change. You are only allowed to carry manly things like TP rolls, guyliner, and cold hard cash in the Foreskin Tactical Hoodie. Manly men don’t carry around change. That stuff is heavy. Manly men toss their change on the ground and walk away confidently while something explodes and heavy metal plays in the background.
