more middle class communists get mad on behalf of an imaginary poor person they would never actually help in real life

Dems need to run on making sports betting illegal.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

How long before someone who actually worked on the “Epstein files”, in full compliance of federal law, start whistleblowing the redacted content?

Scenes from a personalist regime: The President’s handpicked minions rename beloved culture landmarks after him, despite having no legal power to do so. The one dissenting voice was muted, her vote not recorded. Anyone who does not use the new name will be viewed as disloyal.

Not only this but the Daily Wire continues to put people like Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles in front of a massive audience where it allows them to routinely advocate extreme right-wing views. Ben’s political project has been a massive cause of all of this.

Quinn Hughes is the Truth and the Light.

Wild and Timberwolves are giving Minnesota sports fans some much needed warmth this winter. Wild might have just completed the trade that gets them a serious Cup run. Now the Timberwolves need to find a way to get Giannis…

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

Mark Kelly: "For most of Donald Trump's career, bullying people has worked out for him, but not now, because I won't let it happen. President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying this true, & he sent his secretary after me, & it's not going to work."

The old-guard conservatives didn't believe the groyper/white-nationalist fringe was in charge, because a lot of the people pointing it out weren't "real conservatives" to them. Better late than never. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-conser...

Why is Trump now advocating the release of the files? I don’t get it. Unless they have maliciously edited evidence (I wouldn’t put it past them) then how is this in any way “good” for the Trump admin? Are they hoping a year gives them time to muddy the waters more?

Nuggets’ coach looks like a little weasel.

I have yet to hear of a good reason for caving. Do those specific Senators beholden to the fucking ATC union or something?

Dem message for next year’s midterms

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

The winning Democratic message in 2025:

A friend of mine says you HAVE to visit the House of Earthly Delights in Suran!

The most positive thing you can say about Dick Cheney is that we were a much better country when he was one of the most malign figures in politics. Now he probably wouldn’t crack the top ten.

Bluesky is wild because it will occasionally surface and recommend fetish porn in the Discover tab.

I hope future generations recognize how quickly and strangely the contours of what counts as a political scandal changed for this president.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Democrats should run a TV ad in Mike Johnson's district, thanking his constituents for taking the hit on the SNAP shutdown and other government services they use all so Mike could keep the Epstein Files from coming out? "America's Richest Pedophiles Appreciate YOUR Sacrifice!"

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Earlier this year, JPMorgan refused to comply with new nonbank lending disclosure requirements [left]. Today, JPMorgan attributed recent turmoil in bank stocks to "very poor" nonbank lending disclosure [right]. 🫠

The people around Donald Trump are taking advantage of his diminished capacity to break the law. Whatever they do now, we won’t forget — and we will hold them accountable.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley." www.yahoo.com/news/article...

"'It’s absolutely disgusting that Nick Fuentes was at Mar-a-Lago!' Kelly added. Now Kelly claims only to have heard of Fuentes vaguely." What's up with that? www.thebulwark.com/p/why-is-meg...

Trump Watches commercials are now running regularly on Newsmax

More and more Democrats are calling out the Mad King, you love to see it

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes. In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

But I thought if you smeared someone and they were then the victim of violence, that meant you had to be fired from your job. Or does Fox News only think that applies to teachers?

They want the mandate but not the accountability. That's not leadership.

Democracies rely on compromise and credible commitments. Trump governing like prior legal agreements are not binding, like Congress does not matter, like he does not expect to ever give up power.

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...

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

Russ Vought isn’t really a bureaucrat, he’s an anti-constitutional criminal seizing a bunch of unlawful powers to conduct economic warfare against hundreds of millions of Americans because they live in states that voted against his patron.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Tylenol doesn't cause autism, but do you know what does cause brain damage in an infant? Extended high fevers.

AUTISM and TYLENOL A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared. “Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…” Full article:
