It is hard to overestimate what the insane animation upgrade to cinematic levels the Wano Arc got did to One Piece’s global popularity. Tatsuya Nagamine revolutionized One Piece, something hard to do for a show on the air since 1999. The Wano Arc lives forever… #RIP

Trump's losing his shit because he probably thought Pam Bondi had gotten everything to where it'd be Barr neutering Mueller all over again. And then the Epstein estate's emails showed up. Woof!

But it turns out, like most of these motherfuckers, they're incompetent and incomplete. Thus, but HIS emails and nobody should be kidding themselves as to why this has been such a fight. Trump is to America what Andrew Windsor is the UK, whose shit was too much even for Charles the Cheater!

We know what the fuck Trump did on Epstein/Maxwell's properties, right? We're not fooling ourselves, he's literally on fuckin' B-Roll chilling with JeffEp. Andrew Windsor ain't a Prince no more b/c his family eventually got the hint about him. Pam Bondi's likely worked to ensure we won't w/Trump.

"WTF, PAM?! I thought you erased everything! The fuck is this?!" "I thought I did too! I didn't get that email from them!"

“I’m gonna make this movie so much money…” Also, Nintendo buff Brie Larson cast? Yeah, they got it in the bank…

Well, she's been doing this for 17 years, she's pretty much at the point where's desperation is starting to grow...

An absolutely beautiful tribute from Jimmy Kimmel to his childhood friend and the Paul Shaffer to his David Letterman, Cleto Escobedo III who died yesterday at the too young age of 56: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xlV...

All the colors.

The #aurora has indeed reached southward into the ATL area. (Hiram, GA)

I would complain more, but...that evil Na'vi played by Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter (who narrated a BBC/CBC Radio docuseries about her grandfather [and other HUAC victims']'s blacklisting) very much intrigues me.

I mean, there are 2 good options in my mind in Klobuchar and Murray. But yeah, the problem is that they probably would not want it because...well, look at how this place and the other place react to stuff.

Or: Pat McAfee finally takes off the mask for all, except those who would've watched on YouTube TV obviously, to see. This should not be a surprise to you. Dudeman started with Barstool Sports, he's buddies with Paul Levesque, should be a no-brainer he's a Trumpkin...

How'd they get the money to build that?

Welp, here we go…

Here’s the real question: Is the Senate Dem responsible for its worst instincts the last decade not Chuck Schumer…but Dick Durbin who’s out after next year and whose successors + Gov all are to his left?

Look, the primary Dems talk is foolish when a vast majority 82% of Dem Caucus rejected this “deal” and 17% of Dem Caucus that voted for this are either retiring or not up until 2028 or 2030. The main thing here is ALL BUT 2 of the 2026 candidates rejected this including the incumbents up in ‘26.

Seriously, you’d think if there was a “walk the plank”/votetrading scenario, it’d be centered around the Dems up in 2026 ESPECIALLY Ossoff. Not those whose next elections aren’t for 3.5/5.5 years!

My Junior Senator had THE MOST REASON of anybody in that caucus to vote for this or the other 14 attempts by the Republicans to reopen the Government. Military + CDC make this as big a Fed Gov’t facing state as any plus lot of folks on SNAP here in GA He didn’t.

That doesn’t explain the fact all the Senators actually on the ballot next year, who have the most reasons possible to vote for this, ultimately decided to reject it. Ossoff and Warner in particular.

Honestly, all the Democratic Party has to do is complete the generational shift change and get the party as far from having New York and New England as its power base. That’s it. Hell, you haven’t seen a statement of support from a serious candidate in 2026, have you?

This is why I’m not buying any excusing of this vote tonight. Frankly, all the benefits are fragile and susceptible to pull back via rescissions, GOP Budgetary moves and future hostage taking which these 8 Democrats have opened the floodgates too.

The vast majority of the caucus voted no on this. But because 8 Dems, half of which are from New England who got hoodwinked by Susan Collins and most not up for reelection until 2028, flipped it’s made the Democratic Party’s job a lot unnecessarily harder.

Guys? What good is getting SNAP back if you can’t afford medications you need to live? Food but no medicine. A “win”? Don’t think so, ya’ll…

Counter: Dems will now get “what was the point of shutting it down?” talk and in the end Democrats from Nevada and New England cost tens of millions their healthcare because of the promise of a DOA bill. That’s real.

Okay, anyway gongshow of this aside, a very important note: there is another cloture vote! 4 days, because Rand Paul is going to draw it out. The squishes have no spines, at all, and this goes two ways. Incandescent anger, especially at Kaine and CCM/Rosen.

How do you fix the Democratic Party? Bring the power base to the Midwest and South. Pretty damn simple. And in case you respond with “But Durbin though…, here’s the 3 leading contenders to succeed him plus his home state’s Gov & 2028 prospect. Plus, Baldwin, Klobuchar, Smith & Slotkin all voted No).

By the way, SNAP is officially now fair game in any/all Gov’t funding legislation. These 8 Dems just made it a legitimate pawn, regardless of what the courts decide. So that’s fun stuff!

They could make the Dems who caved looked utterly stupid.

Dick Durbin is fucking his leader and his party up on his way out the door. I expected it from some people, Durbin is fucking disappointing beyond belief. Luckily, all his successors have come out against this “deal” so a better Dem is on the way,

2 retirees and others not up until the Presidential cycle or the next decade. Everybody else wants nothing to do with this.

Janet Mills being a NO on the CR is interesting. Most people thought she'd be a similar type to the Shaheen/Hassan/King folks who are pushing this deal, but even she reads the room I guess

Note how my Junior Senator, the most vulnerable Senate Dem on the 2026 docket, is against it…

PSA, ya’ll: Chuck Schumer can’t stop an internal rebellion if his retiring fucking Chief Whip, Dick Durbin, is part of it.

Ossoff would’ve had to break with Warnock on this, and that would’ve been really goddamn problematic. Crisis averted. THANK. GOD.

JON OSSOFF VOTED NO.

The Good Rev didn’t do that Coke and Sprite demo just to cave. No sir!

You’d think Nevada’s Senators would be more harder line at a time Republican leadership is literally destroying its economy. Instead they’re helping making it worse. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Murray too. Durbin literally only member of top Dem leadership entertaining this.

Wow. And he’d be a likely candidate on caving.

Maybe instant pressure might come in clutch here…

Ditto Jon Ossoff. Too late in the game as most have already put their energy into the open Gov race here. And even then, this is the most fragile seat in America and no serious GA Dem is rocking this boat.

Okay, the math is starting to actually not math up here.

Yeah, Jeffries did indeed call Schumer out. And Schumer and Schatz both took the hit and heat in March and both are empathic and terse Nos tonight. 🤔

So now it’s looking Retiring Dems literally leaving their caucus mates and their Democratic colleagues in the other chamber in the lurch. Honestly, what this says is we should hope the next generation of candidates don’t do shit like this and based upon reax from 2026/2028ers, we should take heart.

1) You think they won’t find a workaround to an RIF ban? 2) ACA Premium Bomb is locked in, and these Moderate Dems make blame partly on Dems a reality. 3) You people forget the last clean CR was completely hosed by that massive rescissions package. That’s the new game Rs can play…

This is a key thing. Reality isn’t the reality that should be but what it actually is. And it’s a reality where Dems are going to have to explain why they led the Gov’t to shutdown for 40 days only to fail at their mission to stop the ACA premium bomb. And “Aye” Dems will have no good answers.

Baldwin and Slotkin, the relatively moderate Dem Senators who got re-elected by the skin of their damn teeth, are both no here. That should mean something, OSSOFF…

This is as egregious, especially as-and this is key-you NEVER see this in the House. Say what you want about Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries, they ALWAYS hit & keep their numbers AND keeps their caucuses in line. And the House is VASTLY MORE POLARIZED than the Senate! Chuck has ZERO excuse.
