Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states: Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth 🧵

Travolta looking like Will Ferrell as James Lipton

[Dips finger into wine and drips it on plate with an evil grin]

Awesome. We'll all die with rock hard boners.

Motherf*ckrs

Turns out, schools are way cheaper than ballrooms...

Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket. The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.

Trump must have just learned that when Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap to his face, he was essentially calling the United States a nation in decline. Now, Trump is trying to spin it, claiming that Xi must have been talking about Biden. Really humiliating stuff.

Has he posted yet to fire the Parliamentarian?

The ladies will be on the fast politics podcast tomorrow

ARE YOU A POOL GUY?

LOL. The idiot, REPEATEDLY, has been told it is a bad idea to try to paint granite. It's why they tell him not to paint the Old Exec Bldg. "Hey pool guy!" "Uh, I'm not a pool guy." "OK, but you paint granite?" "Um, how much?" "1 mil. No, 7 mil. No! 13 mil!" "OK, I guess." "Make it Ty-D-Bol color!"

MS NOW: Interior Department staff members said that bubbles and small holes had appeared in one of the layers meant to waterproof the iconic pool. This looks like a 3rd grader colored on poster board with different blue magic markers. Are we great yet? #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

fantasizing about dealing w/ a loud dog; like by turning on a giant fan that blows all the hair off its body. or doing havana syndrome to it

every one please vote for me to be the next james bond and if you are in line stay in line

With 8000 views or so for this piece, I'd like to now invite Byron Allen to buy my Substack.

Intellectually, I know the Iranian regime is terrible and oppressive (leaving aside our own domestic stuff rn). But, I watch some of these Lego vids and say, "Yeah! That's right!" How is Iran is pantsing Trump in the online message war: betterdonkey.substack.com/p/why-cant-i...

I made it into a meme, here ya go! 😅

Jesus, let me just inject this. Incredible.

Democrats need to understand we’re already in a revolutionary moment. The American republic built in the 60s and 70s is being swept away by Republicans and the Supreme Court. It’s up to us to fight for a liberal democratic future. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-ne...

Everyone read this right now

This is oneof the best things I've read in a hot minute, and I wish that Dems would read it and internalize it immediately.

He wasn't the deciding vote but if/when Warsh drops interest rates and there's hyperinflation, send your receipts to this jagoff.

“We are out of the patience business. Patience is the enemy now. Patience is what people with power ask of people without it, and it gets asked again every time another court ruling or another statute or another “norm” is used to lock the door a little tighter.”

Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted. He writes: "Patience is the enemy now" and we have to stop asking people for it. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

Let this radicalize you

Generally, I don't really feel like we get much out of calling Trump "Rump" or "Drumpf" or "Cheetolini" etc. But "Little Ratbag?" Sign me up for that!!!

Welker: "Have Democrats lost their midterms advantage?" Booker: starts naming Black women beaten for voting rights He refused her horse race frame and restored the historical gravity of what SCOTUS just did. The pivot every Dem should study: betterdonkey.substack.com/p/booker-wou...

I dunno but just kinda wondering where all those people who said this and that person are the antichrist are now that Trump: * Tweeted out pictures of him as Jesus. * Has religious leaders praying to a golden statue of himself. * And is at war with the Pope. Guys, I think I found him.

Truth. Also IT'S NOT A SWIMMING POOL which is precisely why it isn't fake blue.

A gentle reminder that the guy who beat Orban was the “lesser of two evils.” So vote your soul in the primaries, then please, in the name of all that is good and holy, vote for the Democrat in the general.

Sharyl Attkisson thought Obama hacked her computer when the delete key got stuck. I’m not kidding. Link below. She is incredibly stupid. I’ve followed her “work” for over decade because she was also one of the few media people who took the antivax movement’s most crank theories seriously.

Booker says he’s in favor of term limits to rebalance the court. @booker.senate.gov - can you clarify? Do you mean you’re in favor of killing the filibuster and applying 18 year term limits to the current bench via legislation? Or a constitutional amendment?

This is a party asking to die

What a surprise from The New CBS.

The future is unwritten and we should act like it.

Hmmm.

After 12 years, the EU flag is back on Hungary’s Parliament building — the new Speaker’s very first decision. A happy Schuman Day indeed.

Péter Magyar has been sworn in as prime minister of Hungary. Hungary's Viktor Orbán era is officially over.

Generally, I don't like this Kalshi bets on death and destruction. THAT SAID: Is there a bet on Trump bungling the hantavirus and over 100,000 Americans dying from it? I might as well make some money to leave my kids when Trump's flailing kills me.

Oh great, we're all gonna die. Because you know what is definitely not true of all the things that aren't true: That Donald Trump can manage pandemics well.

Democrats Were Screwed Out Of Four Seats Before a Vote Was Cast. The old DC playbook won't save them. An anti-corruption message might. More Here: betterdonkey.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Virginia Supreme Court strikes down the redistricting map. Four House seats gone. GOP gerrymandering across six states could cost 14 more. The old DC consultant playbook won't save Dems now. New piece on what just might.

I got the news yesterday from a friend, and it really just crushed me. I'd reckon that guy was responsible for 35% of the laughs in my life. Real laughs, not polite ones. And a truly great pal and friend.

The reporter who asked this question is a veteran journalist, Rachel Scott. She is also a Black American. Trump called her question stupid and twice seemed to imply she was comfortable with dirt. Just naked misogyny and racism

The Bezos Post is essentially becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal blog to whine about people who criticize the idle rich like him. A hit dog will holler. Imagine arguing that hoarding billions of dollars is the peak of “human potential” with a straight face.

Yesterday, Trump pointed at Rachel Scott of ABC News and said "she's a bitch" after Ms. Scott asked him about rising gas prices. It will be old news by close of business today. Once again: Trump is held to a different standard by legacy media.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.
