My periodic reminder that Sarah Palin (quite correctly) called for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired when he used the "R" word. And my periodic reminder that maybe a political reporter wants to ask her what should happen when Trump uses it. Like any reporter.

LIFE IS SHORT STEAL A PYLON LOL

We are living in the dumbest timeline where the Secretary of Defense is just now learning how mirrors work

I would like Twitter to have stronger border security.

“This is a response to something entirely unrelated”

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

this is the play in which sheldon rankins conjured a scorigami out of absolutely nothing. 30-29 had happened plenty of times and so had 37-29. scorigami only happened because the refs didn't make them stick around for the extra point

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year. All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

The Democratic Party is historically unpopular with its own voters. Caving to Trump and getting nothing in return will only bring these numbers down further. It’s a historic failure—and an opportunity to push for changes to the electoral system.

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is. Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right? If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS. No one should have that much.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

i had forgotten what elections feel like when it’s not extremely bleak. we should make good choices more often

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

NY Liberty assistant Sonia Raman has agreed to a multiyear deal to become the new head coach of the Seattle Storm, sources tell ESPN. Raman makes WNBA history as the first person of Indian-origin to be head coach – after being the first Indian-American woman to be NBA assistant.

Just disgusting.

New: Ron DeSantis paid campaign strategists via hidden subcontracts, made rushed payments under misleading pretenses, and took millions of dollars from reserves, in a taxpayer-funded advertising war last fall against abortion and marijuana ballot measures: jasongarcia.substack.com/p/hidden-con...

and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it? MJ: Again, it's a distraction

🏆 How does a comedy show have the best news research team? @thedailyshow.com

DuFALLLLL

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHMYGOD Trevor Lawrence is something else

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Got my sign ready for Monday Night Football

REPORTER: Should ERs check immigration status before treating a dying patient? LEAVITT: That's probably not a question for me to answer. That's a question for healthcare professionals and legal experts to answer. (That's not a no!)

These are not serious people. Stop treating them as if they are.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

the Is Back pendulum has swung from Texas to The U

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after school shooting kills two children: Don’t just say “thoughts and prayers”

Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

Whoopsy

The “fuck your feelings” crowd sure seems to be in their feels

In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

cornerbacks when the QB overthrows the intended receiver by 10 feet:

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Jimmy Fallon taking L’s even when he’s completely uninvolved lol

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.
