I live for such reunions! 😽 Cat saved from the rubble after russian drone strike on Dnipro is reunited with his human.

I caught these lights in Kharkiv yesterday, just before the blackout. Soon, we’ll return to being our usual bright and joyful city because we are free people. And free people make their dreams come true✨️

The average price of turkey under Pres Biden was $1.68/lb last year. The average price of turkey under 🍊💩 is $2.31/lb. That's the truth and you know where you can stuff it!

He's another innumerate MAGA hack. How the hell did he get a medical degree if he's that bad with numbers?

Sean Dunn should never have to buy his own lunch in this city again.

Is there a way to buy a peerage these days? Because I would contribute cash money to get Sean Dunn named the Earl of Sandwich

It's reciprocal pay for when Trump in 2016 dismissed all the Obama administration's charges against FIFA for corruption and money laundering

ZZZing!

FIFA creating a "Peace Prize" to give Trump is so amazingly on brand for both FIFA and Trump that I can't even be mad.

FIFA felt bad Donald isn't getting a Nobel Peace Prize- so they're giving him a FIFA Peace Prize. Which doesn't exist, they're just molding one so they can bribe him with it.

Health insurance premiums came up at the barbershop today. I explained that Trump's big dumb ugly bill was the cause. No, it's the shutdown, came the reply from the MAGA crowd. I replied: It would happen regardless because Trump gutted the Biden budget for insurance premiums Shocked silence.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #ZohranMamdani. She had tears of joy in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Zohrkanda forever" -- which is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate

SFGATE columnist @drewmagary.bsky.social dug deep into Tuesday night’s election results and came to an astounding conclusion: Woke won.

Thanks to @freebirdpnw.bsky.social and @golightylily.bsky.social for boosting me to 5.6k

Prop 50 'Yes' outperforms Harris: 2d column blue > 3rd blue 2d column blue / 3rd red 2d column red < 3rd red No counties flipped blue to red. Prop50 'No' had a larger margin than Trump won in a handful of R-leaning counties along the Nevada border & that are likely to lose a Repub House member

Thank you.

Excellent article, Thanks @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social A Big Effin’ Tent open.substack.com/pub/adampark...

Not sure I've ever seen Alicia Menendez looking so downright happy in the last 5 years. Same with the other hosts and field reporters on MSNBC.

What a treat to watch MSNBC and not having to watch Steve Kornacki trying to give Republicans the benefit of the doubt. Velshi understands numbers just as well, explains them better, plus he's just more fun to watch and listen to

Finally, I can stop waiting to exhale (apologies to the Whitney Houston/Angela Bassett/Forest Whitaker film whose title I borrowed here) Zohran Mamdani will be NYC's next mayor, as Dems win big across the board open.substack.com/pub/chrisgei...

Pollsters, pundits and talking heads wondered how much of a plurality Mamdani would have. I don't recall many if any pundits predicting he'd attain an actual majority of the vote. So even if Sliwa had dropped out, assuming* all his votes would have gone to Cuomo, Mamdani would still be the winner 1/

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

I hate when that happens. ✨ Obtained from Pinterest ✨ 💜♾️

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

I can't think of anyone less influential in New York City politics. Who in NYC gives a flying f*ck what Miller thinks?

The collective global obituary on Dick Cheney will be “we thought he was the worst it got. We were wrong.”

But damn it, it wasn't "anybody" else. Garland's DOJ was gutless when it came to Trump.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Follow-up question: Mr. Speaker, did you grow up watching Hogan's Heroes and idolizing Sergeant Schultz?

Truisms of Series games 6 and 7 - Offense scores points, defense wins championships. Both ended on a double-play (6th game's was the most audacious/outrageous of the two) And Game 3 - Teams winning #3 at home have > 60% chance of winning the series (along with game 3's other 18-inning drama)

And many are just flat-out foreign citizens who return to their home countries when their MLB season or career ends. MLB has been that way for decades, and it's a good thing. 🇯🇵 🇻🇪 🇵🇷 🇩🇴 🇲🇽 🇨🇺 🇳🇮 🇵🇦 🇵🇭 🇨🇦

So the World Series MVP is an… immigrant

ANOTHER FUCKING AMAZING GAME. Who'd o' thought the winning play would be a fly ball caught then thrown to second base before the runner at 2nd could tag up? Not a walk-off homer, not a double play, not a strikeout, not a base-clearing double, nothing ordinary. Great defense. Just wow.

The idea that being "able bodied" and working a minimum wage job raises income enough to no longer be "working poor" is Republican's [intentional] blind spot. Basic daily life needs cannot be met with wages from a 40-hour minimum wage job. Wages that low cause starvation and homelessness.

Silencing smart people so dumb people won’t be offended is like unplugging the smoke alarm so the fire won’t feel bad.

Midnight tonight, SNAP ends unless Trump and Republicans suddenly grow a heart and fund it from the emergency reserve. Don’t let anyone tell you they can’t.

Gotta read - Allison has a delightful wild rumpus with this one. Thanks for the connections between case law, history and real life, @muellershewrote.com A Little Judicial Schadenfreude open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

It's like Stain's Holodomor The Christian Nationalist Value of Starving Families | The Tim & April Show www.lincolnsquare.media/p/the-christ...

Trump's Holodomor:* Trump & his sycophants in Congress provoke two health crises: 1. Diminished access to health care by slashing support for ACA, raising premiums beyond affordability and 2. Malnutrition via under-nourishing 40 million Americans who won't get SNAP benefits starting next month 1/
