They’re betting that workers are too dumb to see thru this pretzel logic.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

#RexComus and that’s a wrap.

The most important thing to understand about the debt: Yes, spending is rising – due to demographics & health care cost growth But taxes used to be on pace to match that rising spending Then we cut taxes and now it isn't Spending is rising slower than expected, so tax cuts bear 100% of the blame

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP. Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for. We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military. This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass

BREAKING: One of the tipsters from the Epstein docs that DOJ pulled down and put back up has reached out to me. I'll tell you what we know on @meidastouch.com in one hour. As always, we have receipts. Link: www.youtube.com/live/xiSmcNV...

He should go for broke and get rid of JD Vance, too.

And here in the last sentence you see what these PR moves are all about: A government shutdown is looming on Friday over more DHS funding, and they are maneuvering to blame Democrats.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Agree. This is @nytimes.com using its resources to best effect. Huge public service.

I wonder if anyone will revisit their charitable interpretations of Elon’s definitely-not-a-Nazi-salute

I know there's too much going on right now with the destabilization of the world order but what the actual fuck. It is disgraceful that any Dem electeds still use that platform. Boycott X and prosecute Musk.

Amount of blood US has expended defending Greenland: zero. Amount of blood Denmark has expended defending the US: 43 Danish soldiers gave their lives in Afghanistan, responding to a US appeal under article 5 of NATO. Ogles has no idea about any of this, because he's an incompetent buffoon.

Unbelievable that this should even need to be said.

There are a hundred more important things to say, and I tried to say some of them in my essay for "Thinking About...", but: invading a country for oil is also just atavistic at this point. Even if it worked, which it won’t, it still wouldn’t work.

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

UnitedHealth is the nation’s largest health insurance conglomerate. ProPublica obtained what is effectively the company’s internal playbook for limiting and cutting therapy costs. Here’s what we found. (Published Nov. 2024)

Golly, deaths are that funny and trivial to TPUSA people? Weren’t they just angry about that stuff, for some reason?

"Gentry Beach, a college friend of Donald Trump Jr. and campaign donor to his father, has been in talks to acquire a stake in a Russian Arctic gas project if it is released from sanctions.” www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Okay, there needs to be a Grammy category for this. And this needs to be the winner.

An underappreciated aspect of Democratic leaders' 'age problem' is the shame of aging in a society that equates worth with productivity. That shame is shaping who stays, who steps aside, and who steps up, and it’s already altering the political landscape ahead of 2026.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

Garbage company anyway. Useless, emperor has no clothes company.

In the same week as a blue wave election.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Do NOT give @psychologytoday.com Your credit card info, they are NON responsive and give you no options to remove the card once you decide to cancel. Buyer Beware!

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

How loooong will this baseball go on?

The SotH is chronically uninformed, hasn’t heard the news, is unfamiliar or doesn’t read.

I do as well.

There’s a reason Satan is called the Prince of Lies

Stay strong, stay beautiful, Chicago. c

The organizers behind the No Kings Day of Action on October 18 -- the event Johnson called a "hate America rally" -- have this to say in response. "After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings coalition issued the following statement"

Without provocation, masked federal agents indiscriminately shoot peaceful protesters with rubber bullets from the rooftop of the Portland ICE facility.

Somebody has to say it Boy, that escalatored quickly

Can’t wait till cables pull it down and we slap it with our shoes.

He needs to repeat second grade.

I plan to post this ABC News supercut video of Trump calling Harris and Democrats "fascists" (and "communists"!) everytime I see a Republican on TV whining about Trump being called a "fascist" by the left. Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh, the gaslighting!

It really is a grim ritual that we have so many acts of violence that evolve into another grim ritual of everyone waiting to see what team the maniac played for, and half the time that has already been decided by the grim ritual of everyone speculating before anyone has any clue about it

Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi’s family members were taken by the Taliban and beaten after DOGE and Elon Musk exposed his sensitive work for a U.S.-funded nonprofit. The White House and Elon Musk did not respond to requests for comment. My latest video for @propublica.org.
