Hope folks who work in the Trump administration realize that once their dear leader is gone they will have to face the consequences of their actions with rich book contracts and endless years of lucrative punditry on NYT op-ed pages and cable news panels.

The Kimmel monologue was 18 minutes of extraordinary, raw television that will be hated by the people who wanted him off the air for good. Trump and Brendan Carr lost this one as badly as it's possible to lose.

Apparently this show could possibly be offensive to white supremacists. Now, before you cry "censorship!" remember that virulently hateful racists are going through a tough time these days so have some compassion.

Alien: Earth achieved a high level of not sucking. I would even say a very high level of not sucking. In fact, an extremely high level of not sucking.(I guess would have been easier to just state the simple truth that it was great, huh?)

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

I do enjoy this movie but I will say that the Matthew McConaughey character is just reprehensible and I hate that at the end of the film Jodie Foster is still into him even though he's the fucking villain.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

A memorial-service reminder that there are no feelings about Kirk you are required to "respect." He was an unregenerate bigot and misogynist who seized on a shrewd grift and used it to make our world worse. I fear that we can't yet measure his legacy, but that's all he deserves to be remembered for.

I know it's an impossible dream but on this national day of mourning my fondest wish is that everyone from across the political spectrum will one day unite and come to the common sense conclusion that Charlie Kirk was a reprehensible piece of shit.

I mean you're either pro-choice or pro-women dying of septic miscarriages, living in fear, lacking bodily autonomy, etc. We've had more than three years to see what lack of reproductive rights looks like, and it looks like a sadistic nightmare.
