Any cable news network that broadcasts Trump’s obscene and degrading cage match on the White House lawn is off my watch list forever.

This is Memorial Day. This is the day we remember those who died in war in our name. This is not the day we honor those who have served in uniform. This is not the day we celebrate those currently serving our country. 1/4

American voters remain misogynist and racist. That includes voters who otherwise have political views that generally align with the platform of the Democratic Party. That's your autopsy of the 2024 presidential election.

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

JD Vance is being given softball questions from the right-wing media in the White House press briefing and still is a charisma-less bore. Just a wet rag in mascara. MAGA will not be passed to him.

Bernie Bros, but dumber. That's who Graham Platner has advocating for him on social media. It doesn't matter how good a populist candidate's policy positions might be. They attract people who dissuade others from getting engaged.

The batshit YouTube survey that found most Republicans said they can't beat Trump in a fight has me thinking that a prominent older Democrat should challenge Trump to a match at the UFC "Freedom 250" event.

The more I look at this the crazier it seems. I mean, this is literally what people do with toddlers who won't go to sleep.

Ohio Republicans overruled their state Supreme Court to implement their gerrymander anyway: Time for Virginia Democrats to do the same.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the wedding of Bob Dylan and Isis, but he could not hold onto her very long. youtube.com/watch?v=INil...

May the Fourth originated as a pun made by supporters of Margaret Thatcher. I'll have no part of it. I celebrate Orthodox Star Wars Day, which is on May 25th to recognize the day that the original movie was released.

Clearly we must build a $400 million ballroom to protect Trump from seashells.

Not to distract from Trump's racism, but as a direct descendant of two Mayflower passengers with a long family history in New England, I find it wild that a guy whose paternal grandparents came to the US in 1885 and 1905-ish and whose mother came in 1930 feels he gets to say fuck about this shit.

An acknowledgement of Trump's record of lies, exaggerations, and embellishments is not conspiratorial thinking.

I really think it’s important to underline that there was apparently no security breach. The gunman was confronted and stopped where he should have been according to the design—at the magnetometer perimeter. What this piece argues for is an *expansion* of the security perimeter in time and space.

WHPC are like "We didn't deserve this, we were just doing our jobs" and well, no, you absolutely aren't doing your jobs unless you think your job is being court jester.

Whatever happened, no real journalist should have been in attendance. Period. That is literally all I have to say about it.

The thing about tonight’s #WHCD incident is that Donald Trump raped children.

“Hi it’s Grudgie from Bluesky News. Didn’t you rape a bunch of kids and shouldn’t you be in jail for life??”

I don’t regret calling every person in that room who’s not a wage worker a soulless sack of shit, because that’s what they are. The servers? The bartenders? That’s who I feel bad for. The ones who were actually working tonight, and had to return.

Hearing the head of the WHCA—who just days ago participated in a Paramount dinner “honoring” Trump— say tonight that the First Amendment is “fragile” because of a random shooter rather than because of the president sitting next to her on the podium is, I guess, exactly as pathetic as you’d expect.

I generally think that it's a bit unsettling that many on the online left disdain journalists as a group, with no distinctions made. But, Clara, everyone at that dinner deserves scorn. Lots of it. This was a vile, undignified display. The profession and the nation deserve better.

This is all so fucking fake. Even if it's real, it's fake.

It actually is this simple.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

Happy 4/20, please enjoy these pictures of Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein after ripping many bongs

The implication here is once again that Trump is Jesus.

Until I see reporters harassing Donald Trump’s best friends and sycophants in Congress over the allegations against him, I don’t wanna hear them screeching at Ruben Gallego about Eric Swalwell.

No Hampshire College? The "Four-college Area" just doesn't have the same right to it.

This is America. You can take on The Boss from New Jersey and the Pope from Chicago but you can't war with both. This president is a hollow, bitter crank of a man. Stunted, frightened, stupid. But when he talks shit about Dolly Parton, the only diagnosis remaining is tertiary dementia.

Less than three hours after the polls closed, Viktor Orban conceded that he lost. Five years after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, he still falsely claims that he won. Tomorrow, I offer my analysis of what this means for the midterms. Subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

"Oh, yeah? You locked your door to keep me out? Well, I'm going to push really hard on this side to keep it closed!"

When a teenage driver hit and totaled our car the other day, she jumped out of her car saying, "I swear I wasn't speeding! I promise I wasn't on my phone!" Same energy.

Netanyahu continues to face a host of corruption charges. He has avoided justice for years. When the war began in February, it led to the suspension of the normal activity of Israeli courts, which paused the proceedings against Netanyahu in one of the cases. www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant
