“This is a darkness that can be hidden by references to tradition and GK Chesterton, and something a little scary we need to worry about rather than thinking it's all fun and games. The right can perhaps conceal nihilism as disturbing as the left’s.” As Jonah Goldberg nervously laughs in 2010.

Tesla shareholders think that these ketamine-fueled fantasies are worth $1 trillion at a moment when their stock is trading at 300 times trailing earnings (and earnings are declining).

This is heartbreaking. None of this is making Americans safer.

Trump doesn't know about the money-printing machine, and it's important no one tell him

Posting this for no reason.

Oh, taking gifts from Qatar is legally problematic? Has anyone notified the president? Beyond parody.

lmao.

Look, it's not even in the top thousand offenses of this administration, but I can't get over how fucking tacky and gaudy the Oval Office has become under this clown. I'm surprised he hasn't thrown up some LIVE LAUGH LOVE pictures to complete the look of "strip mall Italian restaurant"

Awesome

Bidenomics: Truly Transitory Inflation, Remarkably Successful on Employment & Growth—But Unable to Break Through the Media Misinformation Machine My attempt to set forth a balance sheet: Bidenomics was an extraordinary success. The economy healed fast; the… braddelong.substack.com/p/bidenomics...

I’m always amazed at how incoherent Elon is.

Listen, my children, as here is unfurled The story of the sandwich that was hurled On the 10th of August in ‘25; What a moment to be alive! As many chose to look down and duck, One man decided he had to stand up, And so he wound up, and said ‘What the f___’ And gave his sandwich a freedom chuck.

The funniest part is that the one guy who isn’t totally on message is Trump, who is blaming the shutdown and Republican politicians not named “Donald Trump.”

LONG LIVE THE SANDWICH RESISTANCE

jesus christ this is brutal starts at like 1:38 and i think i will make a transcript

this really feels like a metaphor for the country rn

She’s definitely setting herself up to run in 2028.

We’ve got Democrats calling Trump a communist and I’m here for it.

why does RFK just zoom off instead of helping the dude

I think AI billionaires should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps instead of expecting taxpayers to subsidize them like a bunch of welfare queens.

Between this and the talk about government loan guarantees, it’s sounding like they’re realizing they don’t have a path to actually make money from what they’re doing.

“…lets make the sonofabitch deny it.”

But why is it blue text on black paper?

Friends don’t let friends share Politico or Axios articles.

Has anyone tried translating Lisa McClain’s blinking patterns from Morse Code to English to see what she’s trying to tell us?

It’s crazy how the entire national platform from discretionary spending to diplomacy has become a series of make-a-wish projects for a senile octogenarian.

Sherrill won by 13.

Looks like @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social is taking her team to Vegas! 😂

And to fight off the threat of communism, the government will be taking ownership of private corporations in a wide range of industries. 🙃

There's way too much evidence to support "near-blind Trump won't wear his glasses in public" for it not to be conventional wisdom/unspoken facts.

He read “South America” as “South Africa” because he’s blind, but then he has to ramble incoherently about South Africa in order to pretend that he meant to say it.

“Mamdani got more votes than any NY mayoral candidate since 1965. Here’s why that should give him pause.” -McMegan, chair of the WaPo brain trust

They’re having to put signage on everything so grandpa knows where he is because he keeps getting lost.

My great(x6) grandfather turned out for the alarm at Lexington and Concord 250 years ago, and today I was thinking about how beautiful it is that a guy from the Muslim diaspora out of India who came here from Uganda as a kid is going to be the mayor of NYC. God bless America. We’re all immigrants.

Conspiracy theory: Republicans kept claiming that Dems wanted to get past Election Day to end the shutdown, but that was projection. They were waiting for Sherrill to win because when she resigns her seat, she falls off of the discharge petition on the Epstein Files until she’s replaced.

“tom homan is a bitch” is a winning message

They also shared some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Is this the moment where Mamdani announces full communism?

Bari Worse, who is a self-professed Marxist and whose father is a neurologist, is complaining about Zohran and “nepo baby socialists.” 😂

Just think what another full year of ICE raids in Hispanic communities will do to these numbers.

Not nice

On the blog, I preview the issues in Wednesday's SCOTUS oral argument in the tariff case. I also discuss the prominent quotations of Trump's idiocy in the SG's lead brief, which cannot be persuasive but are probably included as a warning to the justices not to cross the mad king who loves tariffs.

Sean Davis hasn’t been smacked that hard since “mommy milky”

“I could smell the onions and mustard.” -Border Patrol Agent Gregory Lairmore

Vote for Zohran Mamdani 🗳️🇺🇸🍎

Starting to sound a little woke there, MTG…
