Great election news continues pouring in from all across the nation. There are stormy seas ahead indeed. But friends, we have the wind at our backs. Onward!

Perhaps more than any other person, Dick Cheney is directly responsible for our nation's misguided military invasion of Iraq, and for all the devastation, suffering, and death that it bore. If there is an afterlife, may he be greeted at its gates by the victims of his hubris.

🟠💩🤡 putting in a grueling 45-minute workday during the shutdown.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

What would be the appropriate word for a government that descends on a neighborhood with military hardware, smashes their way into innocent people's homes, and abducts children in the middle of the night?

Republicans believe a LOT of very dumb things, but this one always slays me. Like, how would free healthcare for illegal aliens even work? Do they go to the hospital and show their official "Illegal Alien" card?

Let's cut the shit: that speech was not for the generals, it was for the base. Our military's top generals were pulled away from their important work to be used as scenery for Hegseth's boring anti-woke rant. Pathetic.

Sen Ron Wyden (D-OR) has been leading a Senate Finance Cmte investigation into Epstein's financial transactions since 2022. Three weeks ago, he introduced a bill to compel Treasury to release Epstein-related records. THAT is why 🟠💩🤡 is trying to sow chaos in Oregon's largest city. #EpsteinFiles

A government that enables and encourages this behavior will be remembered as a stain on our nation's history. Will our legacy be one of capitulation or resistance?

The Trump Admin is committing American taxpayer dollars to prop up Argentina's failed system even as it seeks to emulate that system.

Every time 🟠💩🤡 bellyaches about a media outlet being mean to him, he just makes up a number to describe the balance in their content. But hey, if he wants to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, he should make that case. I think many Democrats would be willing to have that conversation.

Think about it: the President of the United States gave a major speech at the United Nations, and rather than report on the content of the speech and its reception, conservative media is talking about the escalator and the teleprompter. That speaks volumes. What an embarrassment. What a failure.

MAGA is having a performative collective tantrum over the teleprompter malfunction at the UN because they're embarrassed by 🟠💩🤡's awful speech. As always, their impulse is to point fingers and whine and make excuses for their dear leader. But they know how bad it was.

Just so we're clear: I definitely want tacky, WWE-style pyrotechnics at my memorial service, and I would be honored if it crashed Grindr.

Rubio is contradicting the 🟠💩🤡 himself, who claimed to have settled a dispute between "Armenia and Cambodia."

Oh to live in a world where a high-ranking government bureaucrat accepting a $50000 cash bribe on camera would be the most troubling story in the country.

Jasmine Crockett will not be nullied into whitewashing the legacy of a racist. Good for her.

While 🟠💩🤡 fumes over what late night TV hosts say about him, Putin is upping the ante: after violating Polish airspace with drones last week, now he's sending jets into Estonian airspace. This bullying will likely continue because Trump is a feckless coward unwilling to honor our NATO commitments.

Notice that 🟠💩🤡 lets the mask slip here: he doesn't PRETEND that Kimmel got fired for a his comments on the GOP's effort to score political points off Kirk's murder. Instead, he accidentally tells the truth: Kimmel was fired for mocking HIM. Don't count on legacy media to point that out, tho.

Every time a racist Charlie Kirk quote gets brought up conservatives scream that he's being taken out of context and then you say 'ok', and go back and watch the full quote in context and it's always SO MUCH WORSE.

Occasionally

I will admit that after reading about Tyler Robinson's proclivity for meme culture associated with groypers, I was ready to jump to conclusions. Amanda Moore provides a more nuanced take.

Interesting idea, but gosh, why stop with Kirk? Let's do all of this, but for anyone who's publicly belittled the murder of a public figure in, say, the last 90 days.

Lot of Republicans frantically deleting tweets today.

Watch this. Two days ago he gave a hagiography of Kirk from the OVAL OFFICE. Today, after learning that the shooter was MAGA and he couldn't capitalize on Kirk's death, he doesn't even offer a kind word. Trump sycophants, take note: he will discard you just as quickly.

American media treats white murderers with more grace than it treats Black victims.

What we know about the Charlie Kirk alleged shooter Tyler Robinson so far: - White - Straight - Male - Christian - Republican - Conservative background - 2nd Amendment supporter - experienced firearms user - a good son - 22 years old - outside of the murder, law abiding.

I suspect this is happening BECAUSE Kirk was essentially unknown outside the world of online culture warriors. Most normal people would be repelled by his misogyny, racism, and homophobia. His relative anonymity among normies allows the right, with help of the MSM, to sanitize his legacy.

Murder is vile and wrong. The only appropriate response to murder is to condemn the act, seek legal justice for the perpetrator, and offer our condolences for the bereaved. Responding to murder with celebration or humor is immature and gross.

"Please bro. Just let us quarter troops in your cities, man. Let us deploy the military against American civilians, bro. It'll all be cool, bro, I totally swear."

omg you guyz the president of the United States was just JOKING when he joked about purchasing a "fully depreciated" woman from the most notorious sex trafficker of all time.

Given 🟠💩🤡's famously litigious nature, I find it difficult to fathom that a legacy media outlet like @wsj.com would publish something this weird and claim that he made it unless they had ironclad receipts.

1. This is human trafficking, not deportation. 2. Didn't they say two weeks ago they were gonna send him to Uganda? This stupidity is making my head spin.

Reminder that in "Apocalypse Now," Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore is one of the bad guys, and is depicted as an amoral warmonger who delights in terrifying and killing innocent civilians. Of course the 🟠💩🤡 thought he was the HERO of that movie. What a weird, violent freak.

Twenty years of diplomacy down the drain.

Remarkable how consistent center-left parties are at making this mistake. In the homestretch of 2024, the Harris campaign sought to woo 'moderate' Republicans, trotting out DICK CHENEY for an endorsement. It never seemed to occur to them that this strategy alienated more people than it won over.

Today on #IfBidenHadDoneIt: imagine the former President using his social media safe space to scream at THE WRONG ORGANIZATION on behalf of a steroid user. (it's the Baseball Writers Association of America that inducts people into the HoF, not Major League Baseball.)

So the secondary tariffs being imposed on India are just a petty tactic to bully Modi into nominating him for the Nobel? Pathetic.

Hank Williams Institute Announces New Fellership

The weirdest thing about all these online rumors around Trump's health is that he's in the Epstein files.

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)

Just punching ourselves in the dick for the sale of cruelty.

Adam Schoff, Letitia James and now Lisa Cook. By now, it is obvious that 'mortgage fraud' is Trumpspeak for 'bullshit charges we made up'

Good for him

Oh look the convicted child sex trafficker that Trump just had moved to cushy minimum security digs now says that Trump had nothing to do with all the child sex trafficking, I guess we can all just pretend to believe her.

This level of brazen wrongness would be embarrassing coming from a high school student, and this guy is a Yale grad and VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

The "Pete and Bobby Challenge" might actually a pretty good way for Americans to learn whether decades of heroin or alcohol abuse is worse for you.

This is a heartbreaking story. This guy worked as a consultant for US government employees INCLUDING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION and they threw him under the bus because some kids at DOGE can't read.

Is the chaotic tariff policies? Or the cruel immigration policies?
