Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

You know what’s tasty? Cheese. I’m a big fan.

This has the potential to cost the Ellisons hundreds of millions of dollars, plus worldwide humiliation. I can’t wait!

They’re playing the long game, getting rid of ALL logistics as an end run to get rid of that pain in the ass prohibition against quartering soldiers in the Third Amendment.

Uh huh.

You just KNOW that The Regime will use an extremely edited version of this vid (where a Heil Hitler-tossing prick does NOT get his Nazi ass kicked!) to support their horseshit about the violence-provoking left. Expect that scumbag Trump to send troops to UW behind this.

Fact check: He a lie.

Quintessential Trump regime stuff: In a racist temper tantrum, try your best to lower the attendance and popularity of the Super Bowl. Maybe threaten nearby tourists too, just to be unsafe?

Derek is right, but also it’s pretty amazing that the quoted guy’s handle basically says “I’m a perfect Aryan genius racist.”

History is a repeating-ass farce.

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free?

A fine article that even gives cause for optimism these broken times.

The curious case of Bill Barr. Unlike, say, Patton Oswalt, Barr isn't very up-to-date on politics and world facts. But unlike, say, every single other such low-info comedian, he often has and acts on good moral instincts. A guy who, it seems, straddles the fence for reasons that stem from his being.

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

Fox News offers up some food for thought. Thanks, Fox News!

It seems like under Greenblatt, the leadership of the ADL has mistaken itself for AIPAC. That is the org whose actual raison d'etre is to cheerlead for Israel. Israel is a nation, Judaism is a culture and religion, and only the worst people think the two are identical.

History is a repeating-ass farce.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

🧵The Trump regime knows that they are destroying the economy. They will never admit this in public, but they do in private. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent was photographed reading a text from AgSec Brooke Rollins saying that Trump's tariffs made China shift soybean purchases to Argentina.

Esquire Magazine not pulling punches in this headline. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

This enraging injustice - TINY compared to so many, and yet still vastly too much - is the true American dream for the pieces of garbage now running the USA. Fight MAGA with every breath in every room you enter.

hello the reason violence is spiking is because Americans feel trapped in systems beyond their control and have lost faith in American government and the American dream and everything is too expensive and right wing media fills this collective existential void with fantasies of violence

A government which has as its mission committing as much harm as possible on its populace and never helping them one iota is not a legitimate government and must be replaced with one that is.

i took a stab at editing ezra klein’s most recent comments about trans people and electoral politics to make a point often lost by the american liberal commentariat

I assume he’ll be throwing his voters towards Mr. Mxyzptlk.

I hear that if you go to church, God protects you from harm or some shit. Hard to argue with that!

(weapon of mass destruction because he is endowed)

The medbed thing is funny but maybe it’s bad that the press has no interest in evaluating whether the president has functioning reality-testing

Credit where it's due: Hakeem Jeffries asked him to focus on health care and it worked

It's an amendment to the constitution *specifically because* the drafters of the Reconstruction amendments were afraid that some future government might repeal it if it were "just" a law Congress passed and wanted to make sure it was settled fact that could never be overturned

You dumb, useless diaper. You have piss in your veins and baking flour in your balls. The fucking President shouts “I’m doing more treason!” and your response is a wimpy suggestion that his priorities are off? You suck SO BAD at your job, but you’re amazing at sucking Trump’s dick. ASSHOLE!

I’d like to add Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Norway, and the entire rest of the world - except for Russia alone - to the list below.

this is christian nationalism on full display. this is the most consequential moment in our countries history. this cannot stand, if it does america is finished

A thing that many people don’t realize about Jonathan Greenblatt is that Jon G raped and murdered my wife.

Jeb knocked this essay out of the park. It’s the perfect explainer for your Trump-hating buddy who nonetheless doesn’t understand that the USA is now fucked forever, flawlessly describing the Platonic perfection of Donald’s uselessness and ignorance.

I was convinced that he'd ask them to sign loyalty oaths. It somehow didn't occur to me that he had a much, much, much more senseless agenda.

Among the many reasons that Zohran Mamdani is an absolute king is his embrace of complexity. The idea that every one of society's ills has a simple solution that's completely wrong is what drives modern politics. My man Zo is punching against the tide and makes me believe it can be beaten.

I've been doing other things, how did the rapture turn out?

Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department. Violent crime is at a 50-year low. This is amazing. www.inquirer.com/news/camden-...

On-brand for a new Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney's first act to be "ceremonially hand the judge some papers" and they don't just screw it up, they also lie about it and are instantly caught because what they said contradicts the thing they just handed to the judge.

An under appreciated aspect of the movie Blazing Saddles is that Gov. LePetomane’s last name is an actual historical reference.

Russian guy found hanged with hands bound and this paper says the scene suggests he did not kill himself? WITHOUT EVEN CONSULTING EXPERTS?

The Dallas shooter was NOT anti-ICE. He was a right wing 4chan video game addicted meme-lord who was anti-immigrant. FFS! The left doesn’t do high powered weapons to kill people from afar! Mass shootings of innocent people is a power trip for WHITE DUDES!

ANCHOR: we're getting new reports that the bullets were engraved JENNIFER/ WILL YOU/ MARRY ME and that the shooter, Roy Meriwether of North Elm— OTHER ANCHOR: oh my god, Roy, yes! ANCHOR:—died in a shootout with police

This would carry meaning if every single public-facing role in the Trump Administration weren't filled with outrageous liars. Everything about this regime is regrettable.

This is infinitely more useful than anything Hakeem Jeffries ever says, because Swalwell actually says what he and the Dems intend to DO about this (it doesn’t involve sending a letter!) and that action carries a meaningful consequence.
