It's weird how prayer and reflection always winds up telling Republican politicians to retire, and never tells them "Do your job" or "Use your vote to do good things for people."

Trans kid wants to play a sport? GOP congress needs to weigh in. Woman and her doctor agree she should have an abortion? GOP congress needs to weigh in. GOP congressman breaks a child's collarbone and abuses his wife? GOP congress thinks that's a family matter, won't offer an opinion.

Trump claims Pirro "folded like an umbrella." How the heck would he know?

Donald Trump Struggles with Umbrella Boarding Air Force One

Alt: Donald Trump shown failing to close an umbrella, due to his stupidity and incompetence.

Serious question, seeking serious answers. I see a lot of warnings about allowing China to get more control, but like... in what specific ways is China worse than what we currently see from America, Russia, Israel? I'm genuinely curious and I want opinions from people smarter than me.

Crazy that the sitting president announced that he intends to violate the constitution and run for an illegal third term, but he did such a lousy stand-up act that the headlines are just talking about how bad and stale his material was.

Lindsey Graham will not be remembered for accomplishing anything; he won't live on through lives he improved or places he made better. His legacy is his servile cowardice. He could have been a hero like McCain, and instead chose to betray every value for a man who will have forgotten him tomorrow.

The first rule of Cassandra Club is that you tell everyone about Cassandra Club but no one believes you.

Had a great conversation with Scott Jennings yesterday. It lasted about twenty minutes. I bet him $50 that he couldn't possibly make America respect him less. He said "Watch this!" and hung up.

McConnell's loved ones are somewhere sobbing, "It's how he always hoped he'd go - corruptly delaying Senate procedures one last time."

bsky.app/profile/anun... I said this eight months ago. I've skeeted at Platner to drop out before this, and I've argued against his defenders. He should drop out. Now. But so should Susan Collins, for enabling men she knows to be guilty of much worse. She'd put Platner on SCOTUS if he were GOP.

There is a responsibility that comes with being principled. If you want to be the party that opposes Nazis, that means the guy with the Nazi tattoo gets told, "Fuck off. You have no place with us. We would rather lose without you than win with you." This is the BARE MINIMUM standard.

Thinking about this again today for no particular reason.

I couldn't care less about the world cup. It's a sporting event. There was a sporting event just before it, there will be a sporting event after it. That being said, ponder how insane it is that the White House asked FIFA to thumb the scales for them, and that not one person was surprised by that.

America is a bus, and the driver is mowing down pedestrians while accelerating towards a cliff, and Americans are like, "Okay, but there's a sign saying not to disturb the bus driver. I might get in trouble if I do anything, so I'd better just keep sitting here."

Republicans: "Look, the former Attorney General held a closed-door session where she wasn't under oath after trying to avoid it several times, and in that session she didn't explicitly say that the guy who still signs her paychecks is a child predator. How much more proof of innocence do you need?"

Locker-room talk needs to be met with voting-booth consequences.

The only thing Donald Trump and I have in common is that we both hate his kids.

Schools and libraries are technically a form of data center. If we start calling them that, we can trick conservatives into funding them.

God: Is that a golden calf I spy? Evangelicals: No, it's just a golden rapist pedophile who blew up an elementary school. God: Oh, that's all right then. - How actual Evangelicals think that conversation would go.

A violent criminal with evil intent showed up to crash the correspondent's dinner. And apparently a gunman, too.

It really cannot be overstated how crazy it is that Oilers fans don't want to risk traveling to Anaheim to watch the playoffs. Alberta is oil country, a conservative bastion led by a Trumpian premier. Even the GOP's ideological acolytes know that crossing the border legally is dangerous.

Iran needs to start putting out their own announcements before the markets open and close. That way when he lies about peace to juice the markets, Iran is already on record debunking him.

Went to a local church and they had an effigy of my doctor nailed to the wall. What the heck?

A small minority of people never shut up about how much they wanted a fat criminal racist to be president, now he's president. A large majority of people need to never shut up about how badly they want a fat criminal racist to be removed from office and thrown in jail.

Well, Pam Bondi may have sold her soul to enable some of the worst crimes imaginable, and she became one of the most hated people in America for the rest of her life, but at least she also got nothing for it. Great job, Pam!

If Stephen Miller wants ICE to get good PR, he should have them arrest Stephen Miller.

Go get em, No Kings! Make it too big for the media to ignore!

Fun fact: as long as a dollar bill contains more than 50% of the original bill, it still counts as legal tender. So you can cut out the orange demon's signature and still use the bill.

Dear Emily Gregory, There's a rapist living in your district. Records show over two dozen assault accusations against him going back decades. Please keep your district safe by having this evil criminal put behind bars as soon as possible. Sincerely, All of us

The same people who tell you that AOC is "just a bartender" want a plumber to run homeland security.

Remember, kids, the war is over, America won. Iran is 100% defeated. Also he needs $200 billion to keep fighting the war that's over, against the 0% who survived. Also, reporting on the cost of the war is illegal, because it will make the president sad. That's how you know America's winning.
