The "But did he MEAN it?" talk about Trump drives me mad. I'm sure the question of whether he is an actual murderous dictator or merely a paranoid rageaholic screaming into TruthSocial will make for a good "Interesting Times with Ross Douthat" or ten, but both are disqualifying, so why split hairs?

Proud to have taken part in this one.

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess). www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“Because COVID destabilizes the immune system, researchers are now beginning to see a link between repeat COVID infections and rising cancer rates in young people. One study recently found that a COVID infection can accelerate or increase cancer risk…”

Every time Bezos smiles an Angel loses her wings.

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

We have gotten the whole Jimmy Kimmel imbroglio wrong. Desperately wrong.

I’m gonna miss Hulu but not as much as I miss the 1st Amendment.

Has anyone seen any evidence Kirk had a moral compass? I've been watching clips of Kirk since he died—clips posted by people on the left and clips posted by people on the right—and I can't detect anything I'd refer to as a moral compass. He sounds like a used car salesman for Christian nationalism.

It’s negative posturing and redneck macho bullshit on the highest order. “The War Department” implies aggression, which of course is exactly the point from this fascist regime. Eisenhower (not exactly a pacifist considering WWII) knew what he was doing when he changed the name.

As a big fan of the Willy Vlautin novel that is the source material, really looking forward to this

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

If we want to knock out crime in DC, we need to start at the Top. #feloninchief

This isn’t about street crime (which in DC is at a 30 year low), or poor ole “Big Balls” getting “jumped” by 2 unarmed teenagers. This is to further insulate himself for when he calls off future elections and crowns himself King. Open your eyes, do the math, follow the money. It’s getting dark.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

they’re not wrong. lies and fearmongering literally led to this. it’s pizzagate all over again.

The grip tightens

Cancer and Covid must have given Trump and RFKjr gold bars.

Go ahead and call me a Liberal.

(🚨) Maybe the most important report I have ever written. Please understand that this is a long and harrowing read—it is not aimed at instant enjoyment, but a genuine and substantive (terrifying) education. What I can promise you is that if you read it you are not going to be disappointed. Seriously.

What a time for CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” and blame it on a “purely financial decision”: variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Let me tell you about another TV anchor who got to keep going on the air after he learned his show had been cancelled

Another one silenced. F Paramount F CBS Guess 60 Minutes & Stewart next. #colbert

Exactly this… 👇👇

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR. Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

This is great campaign messaging. No wonder the establishment is so shook.

THERE WAS A DEAL IN PLACE THAT WAS WORKING TO STOP IRAN FROM OBTAINING A NUCLEAR WEAPON TRUMP TORE OUT OF SPITE YOU WARMONGERING CRANK

Make Imperial Japan Great Again! MIJGA!

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

When one of your heroes plugs your Rock&Roll show… @greatdismal.bsky.social

Drive-By Truckers at the Commodore Ballroom tonight. Wish I’d plugged it earlier, and wish I could be there!

WATCH: Sen. Padilla pushed to the ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie

Mamdani is now ahead of Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic NYC mayoral primary, a new poll found.

What is Trump hiding? Release the Epstein files.

Ukraine has a leader who refuses to sell his country out to Putin. I wish our country did. #tacocalypsenow

Completely fair to offer a second option for those who cannot fix their hearts. They will not be missed.

This is a real NYT headline

For good reason. The idea was to surprise the Russians. That means not telling their operatives.

Siegel was liked and respected by actors and he spent a lot of prep time with them, so that when the scene was set and the camera ready to roll everyone was comfortable and prepared and 2 or 3 takes and move on. He didn't spend 'hours' shooting the same thing over and over. #darknessatnoon

When I was in middle school, perhaps I confided in what I thought was a friend and suppose he told everyone and … Guess I learned to be careful who I confide valuable secrets to. Zelenskyy obviously knew that too. I wish our so called leader was that smart. He obviously is not. #butthurttaco

happy One Year Ago Today, Donald Trump Got Convicted Of 34 Felonies Day to all who celebrate. silly us, imaging that Donny would actually face consequences for being a convicted felon. here's a walk down memory lane: www.jefftiedrich.com/p/breaking-j...

When the next pandemic comes and it's a bird flu pandemic, every dead body will be on the head of Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and I truly hope they're charged with a criminal offense—before they pass on of natural causes—for every needlessly deceased American. This is premeditated evil.
