As millions of Americans lose food assistance in this shutdown, the president could act — but won’t. Why? Because he wants the pain. This isn’t governing. It’s moral decay. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Updating my LEGO White House

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving abroad. While most Canadians gather with loved ones, they stand on guard — sacrificing time with their families to protect ours. Thank you for your service and dedication.

Everybody Around Trump Hates the Unhinged Laura Loomer. Except Trump. She has zero qualifications, zero experience, zero talent except self-promotion. So how’d she get the national security adviser fired?

Good morning and happy pheasant opener! Go get ‘em, Minnesota.

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "I got elected in 2018 by flipping a Trump district. It was a district no one thought was winnable... I won with 51% of the vote. I want to take that playbook of running aggressively, of using unorthodox campaign tactics to be able to finally break through in Texas."

The job numbers weren't fake? Never have been.

The Minnesota shootings are going to be an excuse for the GOP to go after trans people.

Trump’s golf outings cost taxpayers millions. Why don’t Republicans cut these trips instead of school lunches?

Burn in Hell James Dobson, you complete fascist child abusing misogynist homophobic scumbag. Here's a quick 4,000 word obit that really lays out the truth about him. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/08/jame...

“Vladimir Putin wants to do this deal for me”

Documents with sensitive details about the meeting between President Trump and Russian President Putin were left behind on a public hotel printer.

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

BREAKING: Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump: "We’re supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us. He’s everything that’s wrong with not just America but being a human being.” ❤️ if you support Daniels

A fix to a problem that doesn't exist “The Administration’s actions are unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful. There is no crime emergency in the District of Columbia. Violent crime in DC reached historic 30-year lows last year, and is down another 26% so far this year".

DOGE is history. It was all a sham.

If Jesus appeared today in the US, ICE would probably be arresting and deporting him.

Louis Rees Zamit is coming home to rugby. Great news but credit to him for giving NFL a go.

My statement on Canada-U.S. trade:

100 days in with only 20% approving of his handling of the economy. And he was voted on to power on a promise of restoring the economy. Or folks still were not ready for a female of colour president.

I like to think there is a Cardinals whatsapp group chat going on at the moment.
