“If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel hosting then I shouldn’t be president.” You didn’t and you shouldn’t be!

Haven't you ever wondered why Johnny Reb would risk his own death in the Civil War for the benefit of the 1%? I have.

ICYMI: Last week, House Republicans wasted time on a "utility" bill that does absolutely nothing — a bill that could have been an email or a press release!

It's so American how the Sackler family caused a national opioid crisis which ultimately led to the fentanyl crisis, and instead of imprisoning them the US eventually went "Hang on, we can use this as an excuse to start a war with a country that doesn't even produce fentanyl."

Pete Buttigieg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez always express themselves with such intelligence and persuasiveness. They never disappoint.

Keep voting #RepublicanPartyOfSuffering out until they cease. #GavinNewsom🤩🇺🇸

“Trump, the biggest fabulist in modern American history, lied and lied and lied, with no pushback whatsoever from Burns.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social factchecked Trump’s Politico interview after journalist Dasha Burns failed to push back on the president’s repeated lies. 🔗: zeteo.com/p/factchecki...

If you’re more upset about Democrats reminding members of the military NOT to commit war crimes than you are about Republicans using the military TO commit war crimes, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

Every single one of these sounds like the title of a gay porn flick featuring spurs and fisting.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Every day, just story after story about the abject dickishness of this garbage administration.

Gov. Beshear: “The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

This is the kind of thing which makes me think better things are possible.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

Is "GET ON THE GROUND!" a reasonable command?

I never gossip. Except to save a soul. Or a conversation. So you won't catch me repeating the rumors about JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

It's Just Wall-To-Wall News Stories About The US And Its Allies Abusing The World The US empire is a giant murder machine feeding on human blood and the life force of our biosphere while providing nothing but obstacles to a healthy world. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/its-just-w...

If Trump can seek a third term, Obama can too, right?

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.

The pandering New York Times on why Donald Trump's penchant for destroying a beloved piece of American history by ignoring rules and regulations, and spreading asbestos into the air, for a vulgar vanity project is utterly charming to voters. Goodbye subscription!

Nope. Not getting on the "Let's praise Reagan for a thing" train today. I'm not innocent of occasionally taking a ride for a stop or two on the Gipper Express to make a point about today's GOP. But his stance on tariffs is going to bite you in the ass no matter what side you take. And fuck Reagan.

Question for @minakimes.bsky.social about the NFL. Is it possible that the rigging of games for betting purposes is also happening in the NFL? because my favorite football team always gets really bad calls and it seems like the referees are paid off? Thanks, God

“You can't just namecheck a book. You've got to read it.” Professor of Economics @mazzucatom.bsky.social joined @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to discuss the UK PM Keir Starmer’s use of terminology borrowed from her book. Watch the full episode: zeteo.com/p/top-econom...

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

The West's Dehumanization Of Arabs Is Completely Unforgivable These last two years have shown us that western civilization doesn’t need protection, it needs redemption. It needs to save its soul. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-wests-...

Did President Putin say anything about *your* involvement with children, dear?

Wow. Seems like death was the best thing to ever happen to that guy.

“I hit harder…”

And they say the perfect cartoon doesn’t exist.

ANTIFA:

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Dear Pam Bondi, I dare to question your integrity.

Headlines say Pam Bondi "testified." I don't think she testified. I think she cunted. A verb she invented for me today.

Only Israelis could spend two years committing genocide and then demand everyone feel very, very sorry for them on the anniversary their genocide started.

Right wing terrorism hasn’t declined. It’s just done with an ICE badge. If I wanted to fuck up liberals and immigrants, of course I’d join the group that lets me do it with the blessing of the president.

At some point, either local law enforcement is gonna have to arrest ICE agents or all the bluster in the world won’t matter.

Gavin Newsom is being extraordinarily mean to Donald Trump. So I just sent him a donation.

I know that Republicans are lying about what Democrats want for a budget agreement, but, for the record, I have no problem with "illegal aliens" or anyone getting free health care.

My mom was on Medicaid with her Alzheimers. Medicaid pays medical bills directly. It does not send checks to people, you fucking stooge. And you MUST be legal to obtain it.

Just imagine how much better off we’d all be tonight if Pete Buttigieg were the leader of the Senate. What a difference it would make to have a leader who is a great communicator, who can explain complex ideas in a simple way

You know, if I were some enterprising podcaster, I’d make the case that blowing up boats supposedly carrying fentanyl puts the drug into the water. What if fish eat it? And what if we eat the fish? How much danger are we in from Trump’s fentanyl fish? (Feel free to spread this to stupid people.)

"Democratic states" have GOP voters in them. "Democratic programs" employ and help non-Democrats. Those would be my talking points if I were some smart politician.

In the history of mealymouthed disingenuousness in American politics, few have come even close to this annoying puritanical pixie.
