No one ever needs to feel bad for Ryan Lizza. Also remember he’s 19 years older than Olivia Nuzzi. It’s bad trashy vibes all the way through.

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship. She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

The lesson today of course is that anyone can roll Trump with half a second of planning, which leads us to consider why Congressional Democrats seem unable to do so.

trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? MAMDANI: I've spoken about-- TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

donald trump endorsed zohran mamdani before chuck schumer lmao

pretty clear what happened: Zohran converted Trump to the divine and immortal science of islamo-communism.

squirrel: *points gun* me: what do you want me to do? squirrel: *gestures at sign* me: alright, i get it *opens book drop* squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion* me: NOT A SQUIRREL! squirrel: *disappears into book drop* me: *whispers* forgive me, keith

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

would all of God’s children please calm the fuck down

Instead of the Nuzzi shit, let's focus on the fact that apparently Johnny Knoxville got married this past weekend, the wedding was officiated by John Waters, and a dog was involved

ok I read some of the Nuzzi piece and I am pleased to announce that I will never feel bad about my own writing ever again

not to beat a dead horse but they do this not out of some belief about maximizing electoral returns but out of an aversion to rhetorically committing themselves to doing something about epstein/corruption/ICE/whatever other issue they’re avoiding, should they win power back

Potatos gone bad (2022)

I think people are unwilling to give the NYT and its staff the benefit of the doube because they [checks clipboard] have been able to observe and think about the NYT's behavior as an institution on virtually all issues for the last 20 years. Hope this helps

Six House Dems just voted to give more money to insurrection-enabling GOP senators than to extended ACA tax credits Cuellar Davis Golden Gray Perez Suozzi clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

I guess it's hard to think anything happens with these files because you'd think something should've happened with the Panama Papers and the only thing that happened was the person that brought them to light got murked, but it IS weird Trump so noticeably sweats over them

"One day, everyone will have always been against this" was a condemnation. Not a one-step guide for revitalizing your career.

featherless biped

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

I feel like “mad at Merrick Garland” is going to hit a whole new level.

The other two Epstein-related emails just released by Oversight Dems: exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein and Michael Wolff regarding Trump from 2019 and 2015.

A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

This is my favorite part of this cycle we've been repeating for my entire adult life: when they sit backwards on the chair for some real talk and explain that you're a fucking peasant who doesn't understand how things work.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

it's something i try to keep in mind despite frustrations; i used to be a liberal. watched a lot of daily show, read a lot of magazines and newspapers, considered myself oh so smart. eventually, the contradictions were just too much for me to stay there. happened earlier for me. later for others.

It's well past time to abolish the racist institution that is the United States Senate. The land could be better put to use expanding the House of Representatives. Or as a garbage dump.

This is functionally identical to how Murkowski and Collins were coincidentally allowed to vote against particularly heinous Trump nominees only when there were enough guaranteed ‘yes’ votes for it to not matter. Senate leaders of both parties know how to count to 60.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

poor children literally went without food. people lost jobs and went into debt and got evicted and sold their cars they need to get to work. people who otherwise would have lived longer will die younger because of the stress of this. people did things for money they can't undo

See ghosts aren’t real because if there was any spirit of Lyndon Baines Johnson left on this plane, he would be LEANING everywhere right now.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Apropos of theonion.com/democrats-si...

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

It’s not about “purity politics” or whatever the current buzzword is, it’s about making sure that, at critical moments, you didn’t put up a popular coward who’ll fail every trolley problem they’re handed

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.
