No, VP Vance- the reason our emergency rooms are crowded isn't due to illegal immigrants. It's due to our for-profit health care system which leaves many Americans unable to afford healthcare insurance so the emergency room is their only option. (cartoon from the archives)

If government workers need to be fired during the shutdown here are six candidates

Telling people not to be fat while standing next to Trump is like telling people not to lie while standing next to Trump

Trump and his congressional Republicans are shutting the government down to continue to gut healthcare and slash funding to states that did not vote for Trump. This is an escalation of what they have been doing for nine months. Democrats must hold the line.

Hegseth wants women out of the military so he can have all the eyeliner and lipstick for himself

Well well well. Congrats to Jeff Bezos for steering the WP nearly full Fox. Today’s editorial sampling.

When one party controls the executive, the Senate, and the House, it's objectively the case that they are responsible for a government shutdown.

Umm, wow! “Pete Hegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals and admirals to rant about facial hair and brag about how many pull-ups he can do, and have Donald Trump sleepwalk through a list of partisan gripes.” - Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton

Am I the only one expecting the worst when Schumer and Jeffries — the amazing foldable politicians — meet with 🍊💩? Hope I am wrong, but it‘s starting to smell like another sellout…

Can we stop capitalizing ”antifa” please? It’s not even an organization, much less a terrorist one. It’s a just a shorthand description of people who oppose fascism. The only ones who can be irate over that are fascists.

Shouldn't Schumer and Jeffries tell Trump: Sorry, can't make it to the White House to chat tomorrow! You say a major city is so 'war-ravaged' as to require deploying federal troops authorized to use 'Full Force' against U.S. citizens. So we feel a responsibility to head to Portland to take a look.

Hugo had a good run.

Know who else isn’t getting paid if Trump shuts the government down? His brown shirt ICE employees!

So…. Whaddya think, will the cult finally get rapturized tomorrow, or will we still be stuck with them? ….. Yeah, that’s what I think, too, damn!

Actually kind of freeing that 🍊💩 said he hates me. Now it’s easier to say I hate him and his cult with a cold fire in my belly, I hope each and every one of them rots in hell, but before then I hope they suffer from every painful disease known to man. Have a nice day 🙂

Trump is handing out stakes in the TikTok deal to his allies like candy, or a mafia boss. There is no normal bidding process. He is once again acting alone, and out of his jurisdiction. GOP says and does nothing.

Release the Homan Files!

If Tom Homan was a Democrat and a Democratic admin dropped his bribery charge, James Comer would’ve already issued a hundred subpoenas and been on Fox 75 times.

Do I have this right?

Thank you to our Congressional representative @repsuhas.bsky.social for not giving in to the hysteria, refusing to vote for the resolution to have a national day of honor for a publicly- avowed white supremicist and misogynist. Still a glimmer of fight in at least some Dems.

I haven’t been that big a fan of Jon Stewart for the last couple of years, but last night he absolutely killed it! Master class in satire. youtu.be/_GXNJ3V9lzg

Soon, the only comedian left on TV will be Karoline Leavitt.

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

LOL: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once agreed to occupy two different houses as his “principal residence” at the same time, mortgage documents show — the same kind of contradictory pledges thatTrump has been using to try to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, per Bloomberg womp womp.

An email headline from one of the news sources I subscribe to: "Vance's crackdown on left-wing groups" No- should be: "The unconstitutional actions of the VP of the United States" News orgs, do better.

I would just really like to thank the British Royal family for giving Trump lots of new ideas for how to convert our Republic into pomp without circumstance. I’m not sure how we are going to keep a golden carriage out of the next appropriations package.

They also change the entire calculus of defense — dozens can be killed before humans can even register what is going on, thus no chance for escape or defense. Not the case with other weapons such as bolt-action rifles, limited-magazine pistols, etc.

So, has St. Charlie risen from the dead yet, or is there a mandatory waiting period after sainthood for that to happen?

Let’s get back to talking about this

I find it fascinating that MSM is still digging into every facet of Kirk’s alleged killer, even though he is in custody. Yet there was near total silence about ANYTHING to do with the shooter who allegedly tried to kill Trump, missed, and killed an innocent bystander. ??? #CharlieKirk

When gun fans argue that if you banned guns people would just kill each other with knives, gently point out that you can’t throw a knife 200 yards from the roof of a building and hit someone in the neck

For accuracy’s sake, I stop calling people Nazis when they stop saying and doing Nazi things. At that point I call them former Nazis

“We got him!” Really? That’s the line? His father turned him in. You received him.

Well, seems Karma has paid a little visit…. (Quote confirmed as legit by snopes)

Maybe putting a podcaster and a Mar-a-Lago groupie in charge of the FBI wasn’t the best plan.

Why can’t we have such a Supreme Court? www.npr.org/2025/09/11/n...

Let’s award a Presidential Medal of Freedom to every child victimized by Jeffrey Epstein and his gang of rapists

Wow. “Democracy Dies in Cowardice — see we can prove it”
