What are the chances Trump has a heart attack and President Vance releases the Epstein files hoping to discredit him and win over MAGA, only to be reminded that he has the charisma of soggy bread and they will just never love him that way?

I disappear into an archive reading 200-year-old pamphlets for 4 hours and come out to find that Elon and Donald are finally having the catfight I've been praying for. I think I just found religion again.

These idiots somehow think the 21st-century economy ought to look like a weird mash-up of 1890 and 1950.

This guy described his poster to me as "multilingual."

Saw this one in Chicago yesterday

It doesn’t surprise me that this Signal thing is the scandal that broke through more than deporting people who were here legally or tormenting various minority groups, if there’s one thing both the American media and citizens agree on it’s that when we bomb the shit out of people we do it with class

I assume the investigations involve checking how brown a person's skin looks.

He's being so patient waiting for some of that yummy foamy coffee creamer Mom & Dad make on the weekends.

The thing with Trump being 45 and 47 is that he gets to be the worst and the second-worst president in history, nonconsecutively.

New rule - all billionaires must give me 5 bullet points on how they contributed to society last week or we seize their assets.

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

Every single wave election I've ever seen in my career has started with massive blowback from voters at town halls like this. It happened to Obama in 2010. It's happening again to Trump in 2026. They've badly misplayed their hand since day one.

Repeating myself, but the idea of Trump & Musk as "masculine" remains bizarre. They're just the toxic and immature parts with none of the traditional "masculine" virtues. They're whiny, entitled, unreliable, dishonest, self-absorbed, never take responsibility, never put duty over self-interest, etc.

I am saving this screenshot to use in future lectures and watch as students laugh at this generation's "freedom fries" moment.

Kendrick kicked ass at that halftime.

they are fucking babies who cannot take a rhetorical punch. keep punching.

Here's an idea: If you think everyone hates you because they think you're an asshole, have you tried being less of an asshole?

It's a reminder that these so-called pro-Palestinian protestors knew perfectly well all along that Harris and Biden were willing to listen. If they really believed Trump was persuadable, they would have shown up at his rallies.

Alarming, but am I alone in thinking this is a dumbass way for #PresidentMusk to do a power grab? To destroy things and broadcast that you're destroying them in a way that's guaranteed to piss off as many people as possible?

Behold the president we almost had.

So basically, Trump: The crash happened because Black and brown people.

(In the voice of Inigo Montoya) You keep saying "sovereign." I don't think it means what you think it means.

Someday he will figure out how to get through the window and get that squirrel.

I agree with this except for one thing. DO laugh at him. He's dangerous, but the paradox is that his power is rooted mainly in people thinking he's dangerous. We need to break the aura around him.

The funding freeze is a great reminder of how stupid Trump is. A competent power grab would start small, fly under the radar. By blocking funding to everything at once, he's guaranteeing everyone will pay attention.

Exactly. Bad stuff will happen. But not all the bad stuff. People are pushing back against this. We'll lose some but we'll win some too. History isn't over yet.

Two things about this haunt me: 1. Trump's rise was mostly after the WWII generation had exited the stage. 2. Sadly, the politics of a few WWII vets I knew foreshadowed how easy it was for Trump to play on racism and sexism to win votes.

I think Trump's base is best described as "vice signallers." People who are bad people, know that they are bad people, feel bad about being a bad person, but don't want to change, and want the highest authority in the world to tell them it's okay.

Democrats, quit explaining and start blaming. Keep it simpler: Egg prices hit record highs this week. Trump doesn't care if you get sick and die.

Democrats have one job. Stand in the way of everything Trump tries and blame him for everything wrong. Make him pay and take back power so you can fix it. It's not that hard, he'll give you plenty of ammunition. No collaboration, no bipartisanship. Rep. Velazquez knows the assignment.

So how's Day 2 of fucking around and finding out going?

Until further notice, no one may use this sink without his express permission.

Sadly, for basically the same reason we didn't end up enforcing it on almost anyone of the traitors it was originally written to target.

it is so important to remember that IN THE MOMENT there was no one who thought jan. 6 was some innocent protest gone awry. everyone recognized it for what it was.

Jimmy Carter was president when I was born. I have always admired him. He embodied America and Christianity at their best.

In Musk world, a Tesla can only be counted as an exploded Tesla if there's a consumer protection agency to report the explosion. Any unreported Teslas that may or may not have exploded will now be referred to as "Schroedinger's Tesla".

She's all of us for the next 4 years. 💙

As he goes for the swinging string, his contract with Satan triggers and the once peaceful cat morphs into Blurry Feline Demon.

It's one of those nights where you go "fuck, this has been a long ass year" and just get lost trying to recall all the major events and realize that a few months ago feels like a lifetime because your perception of time is completely skewed these days.

My guess is MAGA will be much more forgiving of Trump's inflation than they were about Biden's.

Just dropping in to say hi on #caturday #cats #catsofbluesky

Liberal outlets need to start doing “drumbeat” coverage of the real villains in America like the way right wing media pushes stories about immigrants and lgbtq. We need stories about evil insurance companies and church/cop pedos to highlight the rot of conservatism.

Read this thread. The left needs to get damn serious right now about building its own media infrastructure and stop playing the game like it's 1992.

No, you got up and left. It's mine now.

I wonder how much of the increasingly widespread emotional instability on both the left and right is a result of unexamined and undealt with trauma from living through a global pandemic.

I'm a missing persons expert. I've been looking for this young woman, a trafficking victim, on the ground, high in the air, even underwater. I eat countless mushrooms to stay strong and have stomped on sooo many turtles who get in my way, only to be told again and again that she's in another castle.

The sad truth is, Americans like to believe the New Deal is the norm. But the New Deal was an interlude. The Gilded Age is the model for this country and always has been.

Trump getting away with crimes because the wheels of justice turn too slowly is bad enough. That 49% wanted him back anyway is worse. If Biden pardons him, it would be like a signal that we shouldn't have even bothered.
