Socialism doesn’t believe the government can do a better job than private industry. Socialism believes that a government given a mandate can do the job with equity to all, and without a view toward making a profit. Profiteering in healthcare, education, and the prison system is killing all of us.

Tender Is the Right Careless Donald thought he was the last tycoon,and his party was the biggest Gatsby gaffe since the Redford Flick. Now his only GOP critic is MTG, who's more Daisy Duke than Daisy Buchanan, but soon Pete won't be one drinking like F. Scott Fitzgerald. by Maureen Dowd

It's National Sandwich Day. As it happens, my pet peeve is sandwiches not being buttered to the edges of the bread. That, and the howling existential void that makes a cruel mockery of all our hopes and dreams. But mostly the sandwiches.

“.. Guests were seen mimicking ‘Roaring 20's’ era attire, a period just before the Great Depression that historians note for its staggering income inequity.” 🤡 @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026. If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it. So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.” Because that IS what they are going to say.

Any Democrat can challenge to vacate the chair. If done, Johnson must reconvene GOP members, swear in Grijalva (contrary to his claim of needing a session), then the proceedings would commence. And then the fun begins.

I keep getting spam calls for payday loans. it cracks me up that they think anybody would hire me.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Yes, I care greatly about the outcome of the midterms, but if you’re not feeling urgency to speak out and push back every day between then and now, you’re missing the gravity of this moment.

[Produce aisle] Woman (to clerk): Y'know those rubber bands y'all use to bundle green onions? My late husband saved them for many, many years, and today I'm bringin' 'em back. Clerk: I don't th-- Woman: The dump truck'll be here any second. [Leaning in] We can do this the easy way, or the hard way.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

FRIEND: It's called cauliflower. It's not ghost broccoli. ME: [taking a long drag on my cigarette] Listen kid, I know what I saw.

Of course I live in the past, have you seen the present?

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

One of my neighbors put up a lawn flag that says, "Love thy Neighbor," but apparently that doesn't extend to calling them out on all their other questionable landscaping choices.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Donald, you have done the impossible and united the world- because nearly everyone hates you.

You’ll notice that no one at No Kings marches throughout the country tried to storm state Capitols nor did they try to smear their shit on any walls, just people saying fuck no to a fascist criminally indicted felon and his Nazi/Hitler agenda.
