Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

Release the MRI results.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Imagine the level of outrage if President Obama had walked past an American flag on the ground outside the White House. Conservative media and Congressional Republicans would have been apoplectic. For Trump it's just a Monday. www.newsweek.com/american-fla...

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

“Can I picture this person comfortably campaigning with overnight shift workers, senior center residents, and club goers at 3am?” is tbh actually a pretty good way to measure whether a candidate has what it takes to go everywhere effectively.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Here is the official certificate of election for Adelita Grijalva D-AZ. She was elected on September 23 and still has not been sworn in by House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Can AI make the troops leave Chicago and ice stop arresting people who are just trying to get to their jobs?

Please start calling him the president. It will piss McDonald off and force him out

Monstrous. "federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Trump’s DHS offers impunity for rogue agents.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

JOBS REPORT: - 32,000 private sector jobs lost in September (ADP) - 3,000 private sector jobs lost in August (ADP revisions) - No BLS report today Trump is bad for the economy and will shut down the govt to avoid accurate reporting on jobs lost under his watch.

This makes sense of all the nonsense.

Kimmel comes out of the gate with a Tylenol joke

The late night host firings will continue until the audible laughter at Greg Gutfeld’s jokes improves. #Kimmel #Colbert

My fellow Americans, Here’s your newest Ambassador to Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and the planets Vulcan and Cybertron — Callista Gingrich!

First Colbert, now Kimmel. They’re wont stop with the firing of the real funny men until we cry uncle and fake laughs at Greg Gutfeld’s lame jokes.

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

PSA: Please stop calling it the “Pedo Patio”. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

RFK, Jr’s breathing into the mic is really disturbing.

Nine grafs deep into the article and we find out: "Pentagon officials were still working Wednesday on what legal authority they would tell the public was used to back up the extraordinary strike in international waters."

JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }

Do my quips and wisecracks have strong appeal to women? Or does @bsky.app have a serious bot problem? Wrong answers only.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Our govt has disappeared a 82-year-old--decades after he fled torture from Pinochet's regime. He went to govt office for a new green card Then, nothing. "Inquiries to immigration officials, prisons, hospitals and even a morgue yielded no information. Leon’s name was not in ICE’s online database."

Wait, what?

This makes no sense.

Stephen Miller’s control over law enforcement must stop. Vengeful people filled with hate can’t control law enforcement. It’s like entrusting a five year-old with a loaded shotgun. It’s horrific for our nation, and will dismantle any trust in law enforcement for the future. We need respect for all.

The 14th Amendment was ratified today in 1868—guaranteeing equal protection under the law. 157 years later, Trump’s trying to erase it like it was a typo. No birthright citizenship. No due process. Just Trump doing what he does best—breaking the law.

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

The votes are slowing down. They don’t have a bill. Still issues with Parl. Still disagreeing in caucus. Still fighting with House. Still no final language.

Ok, so Republicans just introduced a 900 page bill none of them have read. But my team is going through it line by line and on this 🧵you can see the hidden provisions we found. Will update all day. 1/ NEW Medicaid cuts, so now 17 million - instead of 16M - lose health care.

Trump wearing glasses

The number of unsolicited text messages from Democratic candidates I have received in the last couple of weeks is ridiculous. From talking to friends, I know I’m not alone. This is not okay. Whoever is selling these lists has turned this once reliable Dem small dollar donor into an unlikely one.

Just a reminder that while her ex nonstop soils himself in public with tasteless displays of wealth and look-at-me, thirsty nonsense, Mackenzie Scott has given away close to $20 billion to 1,600 charities, no strings attached and without any need for recognition.

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

NRA President pays six-figures to settle 2020 election interference lawsuit Close Trump associate Bill Bachenberg paid to settle a case that shows his role in breaching multiple election systems after the 2020 presidential ballots were cast.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Great read! Petula Dvorak @petulawrites.bsky.social strikes again, unearthing an uncelebrated American figure whose story is essential to our own. www.washingtonpost.com/history/2025...

I think it is underappreciated how many discourse takes are driven by intraprofessional competition and grudges

Approximately 5 million turned out against Trump at the "No Kings" protests; turnout for Trump's military parade appeared to be in the thousands. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Large crowds across the U.S. gathered on Saturday to protest the Trump administration. See photos from the “No Kings” rallies here. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

Thousands of Americans gathered in cities across the country on Saturday for an organized day of protests dubbed “No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” against President Trump’s policies. wapo.st/4n1tb4v

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them
