One wonders, how were Verizon employees oriented before? If I were a CEO admitting my employees were not focused on delighting customers, I’d lay off myself first.

"Republicans spent a year eroding the Constitution to promoting one-man authoritarian national socialism and suffered severe by-election losses. Have the learned any lessons?" Why does the legacy media only ever have "lessons" for Democrats? wapo.st/43y15Ww

Shocking absolutely no one, it seems likely the Russians were buying their Trump kompromat from Epstein.

Still waiting for "what Republicans should learn" or "what Republicans must do". wapo.st/4orQjcD

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

And only Democrats

TFW your campaign must send a map so voters can find you on the ballot.

No, but I only read your national political coverage. I am told everything is fine. Is it not, @nytimes.com?

Now do Trump

Stock tip: Buy shares of companies that make gold spray paint. Trump is going to need buckets of it for the new White House ballroom.

Putin's plane should be accidentally shot down when it enters EU airspace. The EU can then roll out any one of the dozens of explanations the Russians gave when they shot down civilian aircraft.

At his recent press conference in the Oval Office, Trump blathered about how Hungary is a land-locked country without water ports. Everyone wrote it off to his worsening dementia, but it’s worse than that.

It lacks punch and may be too subtle, but find me tomorrow in New York holding this sign:

Yes. The appeal is never having to grow up or accommodate yourself to the needs or interests of others. It is enormously appealing, apparently. And not just to young people.

From my receipts, I compared prices for identical items at the identical Target store in Manhattan, New York City between Jan/Feb 2025, and today. Some items went up a lot, most stayed even, and some even declined. But overall, the same basket is 5% more expensive. #trump #inflation

Kudos to @theverge.com for brutal-truth journalism. We need much more of this kind of reporting and analysis if we are going to save the Republic. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open. That's it. That's the whole story. Not partisanship, polarization, or Democrats.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

"F*ck that, that's not a strategy....If your strategy for stopping fascism is to hope that a few Republicans in Congress find a conscience or a spine, then get the hell out of here." Me on the useless Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Full discussion: zeteo.com/p/the-suspec...

Dems in Congress need to remember that TACO Trump will give them anything to end the shutdown before it interferes with next weekend’s golf.

The battle for the @amtrak.com quiet car has been lost. The barbarians have won.

Health care cuts at home but $20B with a B in welfare for US corporations in Argentina. #AmericaFirst

For such a widespread problem you’d you’d think three @nytimes.com reporters could actually cite someone celebrating the assassination.

Modern journalism in a sentence from WSJ: “Our initial report about the internal bulletin was appropriately attributed.” So long as you have a quotation, you are absolved of all responsibility for accuracy. “Someone said X” is technically a truthful sentence even if X is complete bullshit.

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

The well worn grooves? The left condemning guns and violence, and the right calling for more guns and violence. #bothsides @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/s...

”Blunt force“ and “appeared to have backfired“. Or, more accurately, he is an incompetent, unprepared idiot. @nytimes.com

I'm quick to criticize @nytimes.com for its sane-washing and equivocation, so I need to hat-tip when they get it right. When the facts are clear, just state the facts:

Constitutional experts have doubts about Trump’s plan to remain president after his death.

@washingtonpost.com Tell me you don't get it without telling me you don't get it. It was never about the mortgage. It's about a dictator perverting agencies and institutions to stay in power.

If you are wondering what may be happening inside the White House this weekend, watch The Death of T̶r̶u̶m̶p̶ Stalin. youtu.be/KPtECVL-Ljs Is #trumpdead?

@washingtonpost.com Tell me you don't get it without telling me you don't get it. It was never about crime. It's about perverting the US military to prop up a dictator.

Critics see big risks

Commerce revised Q2 GDP upward. I assume Trump will fire someone because of his deep concern for accuracy in economic data.

Because the dying orangutan's appointments will have flawless mortgage applications:

"Little precedent" @nytimes.com @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

The "mortgage fraud" charges are part of a bigger picture. Everyone has a mortgage, a tax return, a TSA pre-check application, or some other complicated documents. And I bet nearly all of us wonder if we filled out every detail correctly.

“Activist investor”, “experts say” @nytimes.com @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

Fed chair Powell is taking a gamble. No one else. @nytpitchbot.bsky.social @nytimes.com

Sorry, you misspelled MUNICH. FDR and Churchill went to Yalta and got the best deal they could (with the Red Army occupying half of Europe) and brought a stable peace to Europe for the first time since the fall of Rome. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/w...

What if Ukraine keeps all its 2014 territory, and the USA gives Putin Alaska instead? #Ukraine

Kate Manne has the receipts. Please read and share this incredible piece of work.

I want to make sure I follow the Orangutan’s logic: Clinton/Biden/Obama/Comey planted the fake information about Trump in Epstein’s records, and then did nothing with it for 20 years, waiting for the day it would be leaked to the WSJ during a 2nd Trump term? Now who's playing 3D chess?

I am suspicious that the WH landed on the most innocuous explanation for Trump’s symptoms. But even taking them at their word, CVI is a serious warning sign for an 80yo sedentary, morbidly obese man. I am also sure Trump will ignore the warning.
