Paul Ryan's Republican Party of Ideas reaching its endpoint

Truly insane

Does Mullin know that airports that serve many cities are not actually in that city? Where does he take off and land within DC?

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get? LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.

The Republican government picking winners and losers. I am so old, I remember when Paul Ryan said this was bad.

Let's make billionaires pay their fair share and find out

File it under "things you haven't heard from Susan Collins" and cross-index it under "things the Maine press (apparently) doesn't have the temerity to ask Susan Collins about." #MEpolitics

All it took for Republicans to go from anti-child rape to pro-child rape was realizing which side Trump was on

The Republican establishment is SO, SO, SO PATHETIC. From Punchbowl this a.m.: "Senate Republicans were furious over Trump’s Paxton endorsement. But few expressed it directly — perhaps out of a fear that they would become a Trump victim themselves. Instead, GOP senators privately griped..."

Americans are so ready to vote for that annoying asshole in class who "well actuallys..." everything and comes up with the most annoying retorts that barely make sense. So totally in touch.

This guy is poised to connect with the struggling factory worker at the diner. Just a normal guy focused on normal things and not at all weird.

Clavicular is right about JD. That side profile is odd.

Standing with Ukraine is the simplest thing we can do for no other reason than Ukrainians are Winners and Putin is a sad pathetic weak loser. www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/senator-ru...

IT'S OUR MONEY!!!!!!

The Ethicist | I can’t afford healthcare, groceries, or gas. Can I create an AI video of myself wearing a MAGA hat and assaulting a Black cop so that Trump will give me some of the $1.7 billion?

"Bidenomics is working, and the more people know about Bidenomics the more they will support it"

Trump: "This is the ballroom and it's gonna be something incredible. On top of the roof we're gonna have the great drone empire that you've ever seen. And it's gonna protect Washington."

The most accurate portrayal of the pro-Jim Crow, white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court I've seen yet.

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)

Whether it’s Donald Trump stealing $1.7 billion from the treasury to share with his friends or Hillary Clinton using a private email server to share risotto recipes with her friends, there’s plenty of inappropriate sharing on both sides.

This may be the only time J.D. Vance has said something I can agree with.

Don't call Trump old and sleepy!! In the midst of running multi billion dollars crypto scams and rug pulls, the President has the time for some nickle and dime insider pump and dump trading on the traditional stock market. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/05/...

Big announcement on March 3. No part of this ever happened.

Bernie's 2020 spokesperson

Cassidy played this in the worst possible way. He took a stand on impeachment thinking Trump was finished. Then Trump comes back and he sells out on everything thinking he could appease him somehow. He sold his soul & lost anyway. He loses with his integrity gone. What a legacy.

Make Republicans vote on this.

Another Republican Senator first elected in 2014 bites the dust.

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

30 years of Susan Collins in a sentence

The article is paywalled, but what are the chances it mentions Susan Collins voted 95% of the time with Trump last year, the most she's voted with any president in any year? Why isn't that fact boilerplate in any piece that tries to situate her with respect to Trump? #MEpolitics

I hope Ka$h has given Savannah Guthrie one of his monogrammed whiskey bottles to comfort her while the FBI can't find her mother

Subtle

This is what drives me crazy about Dem politics (and has for 25 years). I am 99.999% certain Republicans don't get this legal advice, and if they did, they don't follow it because no one enforces this stuff. We tie ourselves up in knots to follow these writs

The Boss has spoken.

Does Alex Karp's whining really qualify as an "exclusive." He will whine to anyone at any time.

Kamala Harris got 23,022,598 votes in the South, 42.2% of all those cast. What this guy and other Republicans are saying is that they should have no representation at all and we can still call America a "democracy." It's vile and disgusting.

The steady increase in inflation really highlights Biden's age www.axios.com/2026/05/13/p...

Still waiting for that first journalist to back up a female journalist Trump attacks.

This guy is literally a used car salesman

Yeah, we know Donald

Such a mistake, but at least no Democratic president will ever try to do this again

My grandmother used this phrase all the time, but she was a racist www.axios.com/2026/05/12/j...

today is one of those days i regret learning to read

The savings from revoking the 18.4 cent / gallon gas tax would disappear in a day. How about Trump just end this stupid fucking war.

How does he know this?

Here's an idea. How about persuading voters and running strong contrast campaigns? I know this all sucks, but let's focus on the things we can control. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/u...

Does anyone realize how weak this makes Trump and America look or am I just suffering from TDS?
