Many of the biggest policy decisions of Donald Trump’s second term follow the same script: move fast, ignore the experts, break things, then spin the disastrous outcome as a victory. From DOGE to tariffs to the ICE surge in Minneapolis, the pattern keeps repeating. The war in Iran is next.

The invocation has to be filibuster-proof in the Senate, too, just like an impeachment.

Wasn't just Rubio. I saw a picture yesterday with a bunch of them wearing the stupid shoes

Some Fries With Your Stupid? Admittedly I read about Vulgarmort buying people Florsheim shoes (seemingly at random) and thought, well, so what? He’s a weirdo. But then I saw this picture: Seriously, why would anyone wear the wrong size? Rubio is such a simp.

And We’re Back! Epstein Pedo-Files, part infinity... Let’s turn away from Cadet Bone Spur’s Great Adventure in Iran to the less stressful topic of Jeffrey Epstein. Anyway, Richard Kahn, Epstein's long-time accountant, testified before the House Oversight Committee yesterday. Just like Rep. Gym…

Screw Winter, 2026 Is Coming Let’s say you are an idiot Republican (redundant, I know) and you had a strategy meeting for the 2026 Pie Fight and it was being held at the Grifter-in-Chief’s trash golf course in Floriduh: Would you go?

Here’s Some Stupid To Start Your Day "I think the war is very complete, pretty much." —Grandpa Sundowner He repeated it at a second press conference, so he thinks it is swell communication.

Gonna Say It Again It’s rough out there. Not gonna lie, today was hard to read the news. Again. Practice self-care. Do what you must to keep yourselves sane. If that means you need to check out of MPS for a while, we get it. No hard feeling’ mmm’k? We will be here when you return. We are totes in…

Bad Signs, Cont. I hate it when elephants leave their cars. They usually double-park, too.

Messaging, Redux I think the MPS position that our Democrats message should be It’s The Bottom v Top, Stupid (and not Left v Right) is getting tested ...in Texas! If Talarico can move the needle with it (and it looks like he is), this could be the way forward.

Bush on why he quit golf during the war: “I didn’t want some mom whose son may have died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can. And I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.” Senile Satan: 👇
