JD VANCE: "My mother got the drugs that almost killed her from Mexicans." REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

Reminder that Benny Johnson took money from russia to spread divisive content in the USA.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Finally, someone was clever enough to make this joke

"When faced with actual, explicit, documented government censorship—the kind they’ve been breathlessly warning about for years—they have nothing to say. Because this censorship serves their agenda, targets their enemies, and advances their political goals." www.techdirt.com/2025/10/03/d...

Understatement of the week. “Realistic likelihood”. 😂

60 years of American design.

Trump has to pull it from the stone like every other king.

The perfect encapsulation of Politico. "Of course the White House is lying, but it's a pretty savvy lie, so let's see how it plays?" It's all a fun little game with no stakes to them. It's like they're recapping episodes of Real Housewives.

What kind of an American is going to get annoyed because the hospital didn't leave a non-citizen to bleed to death in the ER driveway?! I don't want what this creep is selling, and I don't want to hear him claiming to be a Christian.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

@governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: Please sign #SB42, the California Fair Elections Act — to strengthen our democracy by legalizing public financing of campaigns everywhere in California and empowering voters!

We all remember that part of the Gospels where Joseph goes to the Egyptian consulate to make sure their refugee status has been approved and then leaves with the visas and documentation in hand so they could present them to the officials working the border checkpoint.

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

Clearly a warzone.

Recurring gripe of mine but it is incredible how National Conservatism is supposedly built around decrying lack of community, common project etc, while turning every “hate your neighbors” dial they can access up to 11. Make your professor terrified to say anything, don’t trust your doctor, etc

Trump is pronouncing "acetaminophen" the right way. by Ezra Klein

So. Would there be legitimate reasons for the Trump administration to decide not to charge Tom Homan for accepting a Cava bag with $50k in cash in exchange for the promise to influence the Trump administration? Actually, yes. /1

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”— Wilhoit’s Law

the funniest part about this post is that it got about zero interaction

An absolute clown show. Avoiding chaos like this is one of the many reasons a for *not* having EOs be the normal method of legislating or regulating. You really want more careful review than “Steve Miller doodled it on a napkin and Trump signed it with a sharpie.” www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Yeah, they could have had that impact IF Elon hadn't chosen to turn the site hard-right.

Canceled Hulu. Also a Disney property.

So many people are canceling Disney+ over the Kimmel suspension that the cancellation page crashed. Did you cancel too?

Red States: Less Freedom, More Poverty, Shorter Lives open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

Interesting thought.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

It was never about “freedom.” It was always about who was in control.

It’s not just that we are being destroyed, it’s that we are being destroyed for incredibly stupid reasons. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/getting-ye...

Civility is when you peacefully back down against the people who want you to be servants or dead so the stock market can keep going up.

remember, this conversation is mostly about whether people have a right to quote the things that ch*rlie k*rk had a right to say.

I hope Politico had an AI write this article. I certainly don't have time to read such nonsense, and hope they didn't waste a human being's time writing it.

Friggin' hate when reporters do bullshit like this www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Darkly amusing that the president who pardoned Ross Ulbricht also says illicit drugs are such a threat to national security that he can use the military to assassinate suspected drug dealers with no due process.

“So you never wanted a regular-type life?”
