This is why I think the stronger case is actually to be like "get the Republican politicians you vote into office to get their boss to kill his tariffs" rather than "Democrats ride to the rescue again to save R voters from their own shitty choices dont worry bbs"

Loving that Jane Goodall did Subway Takes. www.instagram.com/reel/DAtNPb5...

Omg

It's official: AOL's dial-up internet has taken its last bow.

Everybody fights back in their own way.

Is Canada alright?

It'd be great if Japan had a female PM, but maybe they need some of that Koizumi magic again.

Umm…

I'm only one guy in the cacophony of social media, but pleased to have done my part to make this a thing.

“Kavanaugh stops” is a tremendous term term for cops racially profiling people and someone should start a crowdfunding effort to pay a bunch of SEC sorority influencers to popularize it on TikTok. We must fight fire with devastating trending topics slate.com/news-and-pol...

The shutdown really is big deal in NOVA Was at daughter’s dance practice yesterday in Vienna and there was loud conversation about it First time I’ve heard anything political in that context Hard to know how it plays in election, but top of mind for many voters

Kinda sad to see a man like Russ Vought, who insists he's dedicated to Christ, flail his dick around so fecklessly.

she actually quit a couple weeks ago because she didn't think politico was friendly enough to republicans

Please go and raid the Super Bowl—average estimated price $8K—and drag away people on prime time. What a fucking genius Lewandowski is.

They didn’t drain the swamp. They sold VIP tickets to it.

This fact is not breaking through. Republicans have the power to open the government by themselves. They just need to use the “nuclear option” to suspend or change the filibuster. Rs nuked three weeks ago for judges, so we know they’re able. But they’d rather keep it closed and blame Dems.

No need to be scared of him. The trend is clear - everyone outside of his hard base is abandoning him.

About damn time.

relatedly, Democratic operatives are legit scared of working in New Jersey because of how bizarre it is even by NYC standards

Last night, the ADL took down its "Glossary of antisemitism" which included an entry for the term "globalist," describing it as a far-right codeword for Jews. Hours later, the official DHS account authors a post with a common far-right meme, saying that "globalists" will be denied entry to the US.

"They have no idea how tough we are" should be on display in the Museum of Unintended Irony.

NEW: Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era. Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America. Today, at Law Dork:

Nonzero chance Noem calls for Leo to self-deport.

In #Longmeadow, voters approved a fresh debt exclusion to finance the new middle school. Opposition largely flailed because many town voters understand their home values are tied to the schools. #mapoli wmasspi.com/2025/09/long...

Vought may be more ideological, but he's kind of an idiot. Duffy is a sock puppet or he'd not have gone along.

He can't. He's just as insufferable behind closed doors.

This is true, but the reason it's probably happening is they think they're getting millennials as they succumb to nostalgia. The problem is younger times of 9/11, war, recession and more recently pandemic are as engrained as Pearl Harbor was for that generation. Who wants to remember terrorism?

It's all a bunch of dick waving inside a Nazi bar. I'm not sure it has any value even on MAGA/the right's own terms beyond a high of dopamine or adrenaline. In a simpler time, we'd just watch replays of a televised wardrobe malfunction for that.

The funny thing is while Kash is definitely a handmaiden to Nazis, I'm not sure he is a Nazi like some of his superiors. I sense he's still on thin ice. I don't believe he believes anything and could pull a Michael Cohen one day. This move will make it harder, the ADL's recent behavior aside.

So at the same time the Trump regime claims it's fighting antisemitism (which was always a lie) it's now saying it will deny citizenship (or visas?) to "globalists" which is mostly used in their crowd as a barely coded euphemism for "Jews"

Far-right Catholicism can be summed up as "we should all submit to the Pope and also the Pope should submit to me."

"Wallmart" on the sign. Fuck AI, fuck anyone who uses it

Make Pam or Todd go. I doubt Brett is furloughed. He can do it.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Can someone ask the president if he thinks medbeds are real?

It's basically just a handful of New York Dems who don't understand their base anymore. We've seen more than a few bubbies say they think Mamdani is wrong on Israel but they like him and are voting for him.

also a reminder that Russ could've (tried to, anyway) jammed these down every department's throat at any point since June or so, literally nothing changes in a shutdown as to how you can lawfully and according to regulation carry out a RIF That he hadn't yet done so is perhaps instructive

Judge Kaplan: After 9/11 this courthouse was a staging area, the court was dispossessed for a time for that reason. These grants are to be given SOLELY on the basis of risk of terrorist attack. 9/11 was the 2d attack on the World Trade Center. There was 1993

How JD detects the illegal aliens at the ER:

It’s one thing that Vance is mendacious scum. The White House has a history of mendacious scum. It’s that his conduct is so far below the floor of what’s befitting American leadership. He’s a bigoted loser. Just a pathetic excuse for a man.

Note that the contents of the draft memo about stopping leaks … leaked immediately. So off to a great start lol

I stand corrected on the RIFs not happening, but the failure to do them on day one implies they don't expect them to hold.

This is real "You made me do this" abuser talk

That this press conference is happening makes me think Vance believes Trump is dying and that he wants to show he is genuine MAGA, which lol.

At first I was skeptical that a government shutdown might impact the #NJGov election. But I underestimated the rank stupidity of the GOP going out of its way to hurt NJ residents in the process. Mikie Sherrill is fighting this. Jack Ciattarelli? Not so much. newjerseyglobe.com/transportati...

Now that Trump and Russ Vought are punishing NYC and NJ with spending freezes, it's worth noting that candidates like Zohran Mamdani and Mikie Sherrill benefit bigly from this move. Both are already seizing on this to position themselves as defenders of their cities and states against Trump.

The National Archives' inspector general is launching an investigation into the inappropriate public disclosure of Rep. Mikie Sherrill's military records following Democratic outcry. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Why would you lead with the most untrustworthy face in the federal government?
