The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Why the silence from sports leagues? Ten years ago NC backed down from the NBA withdrawing the ASG over a bathroom bill. TN just stripped black citizens of representation in Congress and…*crickets*. Why aren’t the Memphis Grizzlies threatening relocation? apnews.com/national-nat...

Trump’s lying but regardless I now want a reporter to ask him a question I had on the GMAT, what is the tens place digit of 5^73? Or what is the ones place digit of 6^31? He has an MBA so he ought to know the answer to this intimidating problem that’s really simple if one recognizes patterns.

I think by forcing votes away from Bianco and toward Hilton, Trump just inadvertently thwarted the Republican dream of a lockout in the California governor election. Bianco losing MAGA support makes it much easier for a Democrat to finish second or higher in the primary. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Or maybe “hell will reign” is actually a subliminal message Trump’s giving to American Christians on Easter weekend. 🤔

To not send some burly hired goon over to intimidate an adolescent fan for simply walking past their table in a restaurant?

While it’s good that juries are holding social media companies accountable for the recklessness towards the vulnerable of the algorithms they built, $375m is 0.025% of the value of Meta and is simply too small to be felt by the people responsible. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Good news. I think throwing away 17 terms of seniority largely bc of vibes is a bad idea when Democrats are set to retake the majority, and the voters of Mississippi agreed.

Wasn’t the Trump administration threatening India with a heavy tariff a few months ago for buying Russian oil? And now they’re encouraging India to do exactly that?

$31,000, smdh. A family insured by an HDHP would need to make maximum contributions to their health savings accounts for four years, while incurring no expenses in those years, just to afford one max deductible.

Tfw when you realize you can no longer act with impunity just because of who your parents were.

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, D.C.

Asking rhetorically, but how is this not assault and how does this protestor also not have a Section 1983 claim against the federal agents?

The US public did not turn against Iraq until the casualties the US was sustaining became unpalatable which was around 2005. Speaking about how this attack has made the US mainland less safe will resonate much more than championing international norms many Americans already felt were discredited.

For some context, Iraq in 2003 was almost twice as popular as US-initiated regime change by military force in Venezuela is.

Into my fourth year away from “that place.” The accounts I miss I can view from a browser through xcancel.com, otherwise I have no use for it at all.

This will sound like a hot take that really isn’t, but Hunter Biden was the best US presidential son of the 21st century and not enough people appreciated him.

Estimated FY2026 tariff revenue: $207 billion. Estimated FY2026 individual income tax revenue: $2.6 trillion.

1) Congress has that power, not the WH. 2) We’ve only collected $300b in tariff revenue which does not offset income tax revenue. 3) This is a tacit admission by Trump that his tariffs are what’s causing inflation in 2025.

What could possibly go wrong with making a senator from a state carried by the presidential candidate of the other party, your party’s floor leader?

A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

I’m glad this is happening. This is far from “canceling” Summers; he was asking Epstein for advice on how to fuck a mentee of his that he used (half of) a racially derogatory phrase for. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The fact that no one in the room stood up for her says a lot about how we got here bsky.app/profile/pale...

Lisa Demuth's history of far-right positions and standing up for the wealthiest Minnesotans is unmistakable. Read the full list of her low-lights at dfl.org/demuth_announcement.

As a Christian, I think it's weird and inappropriate to publicly hope your spouse converts to Christianity. That's a private conversation for home. It also brings attention to the fact that your spouse's most immediate example of Christianity is you and it doesn't take. Yikes.

Right after he got sentenced to 27 years in jail. 😂 Iykyk. www.euronews.com/2025/09/17/d...

This was cleverly divided but I’m going with D.

Republicans will still bring up to this day how Obama misspoke and said 10,000 people died in an EF5 tornado that hit Greensburg, KS in 2007. Yet this will be forgotten by tomorrow evening. 🤦🏻‍♂️

How did we go from the political activism of farmers like Wayne Cryts (not that far away from Brookland, AR) who almost single-handedly got the law about grain elevator bankruptcy changed in the 1980s, to just farmers reflexively voting GOP bc they’d rather go broke before they’d vote for Kamala?

This Mike Flood getting booed at a town hall thing is good for a local news story, but I hope people realize that he knew that was going to happen and plans to fundraise off the reaction.

Looks like a few dozen fled to Illinois. Thank you Governor Pritzker for your assistance to and arrangements for Texas representatives, and good luck and godspeed Texas Democrats.

What a lovely concept. Apparently from the comments it’s in Portland, OR.

Run it back! 😀

Since Trump took office. Beef prices ⬆️ 6% Coffee ⬆️ 7% Chocolate ⬆️ 7% Electricity ⬆️ 5% All thanks to Tariffman.

Wait, so Francisco Lindor joined the New York Mets when he was 7?!

I miss Janey Godley.

People think this quorum bust will be like the one in 2003 or 2021 and they can just cross the state line. This time I believe they will have to leave the US for it to work—I expect Trump and Texas will take the novel step of using fed law enforcement to bring the TX Dems back. Fight on, TX Dems.

This reads like she’s reciting the shahada.

Of what? Sobriety?

Watching legacy media jump over themselves to cover Trump’s comments about the Cleveland Guardians and Washington Commanders like they aren’t just attempts to distract from more Jeffrey Epstein news. 😒 I can’t decide if they’re crooks, want to be played by Trump, or if they’re just that stupid.

Most normal administration ever 🙄

A Roman Catholic bishop telling vulnerable parishioners in his diocese to NOT show up for Mass because of well-founded concerns that ICE will raid the churches during Mass, is just a whole extra level of how fucked up this is getting. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
