I think one of the most popular items on the 2028 Democratic platform would be restoring decorum and dignity to the White House. It would begin by tearing down that godforsaken ballroom and rebuilding the East Wing.

Sooner than anyone imagines, newly developed technology will turn all those sprawling data centers into the abandoned shopping malls of tomorrow.

If you know something about intellectual property law, please enlighten me, but it would seem to me no one can claim ownership of anything they create with AI, since AI is just a collection of everybody else’s stuff in the first place.

The founders never could have predicted a Congress owned by corporations or a Supreme Court that equates money with speech. It’s not the Constitution that needs fixing, it’s the radical reinterpretation by the right wing.

I have to admit some satisfaction seeing cattlemen who voted enthusiastically for Trump become his latest fuckees.

That feeling when your enemy’s leaders are smarter and more strategic than your own.

I thought “Karen” was a trigger for Republicans. Turns out, it’s “Natalie.”

The right wing’s loathing of Mayor Mamdani’s intelligence, wit and genuine humanity says all you need to know about the kind of people they are.

In hindsight, maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to make a draft-dodger Commander In-Chief of the military.

Well, looks like it comes down to a battle between a Harp and a Harpie.

Source Reveals Secret Power Struggle Between Trump's Blonde Bestie And His Wife

Scorecard: so far, he’s shit on Ukraine, South Korea, Oman, the EU and Canada. He’s done solids for Russia, North Korea and Iran. So tell me again, WHO hates America?

A Question For Republicans: What kind of a man describes sexually assaulting terrified girls as “a beautiful secret?”

Dull, mediocre white men are trying to reverse 80 years of social and economic progress. Their misbegotten efforts are only destroying our reputation, our economy and the very fabric of our society. The world moves on without us. 

Not to say he won’t try it, but Democratic groups all over the country already have taken extraordinary measures to thwart a totalitarian takeover of the midterms. I’m optimistic, but we still have to stay incredibly vigilant as well as show up to vote in record-shattering numbers.

Here’s the offer I think Blanche made to Ghislaine Maxwell: Shut up, and we’ll put you in a cushy, minimum-security prison.  Talk, and you’ll wind up like Epstein, dangling in your cell. Clearly, she took the deal. 

Do insider trading and market manipulation fall within the scope of the “Presidential Duties“ escape hatch SCOTUS so obligingly provided the Felon in-Chief? If not, the new Congress’ should make them the first two of many Articles of Impeachment.

It’s becoming clearer by the day that Todd Blanche’s primary function is to prevent the Epstein Files from being released.

With huge, unregulated payoffs to Congress and the approval of a cynical, corrupt president, AI and cryptocurrency oligarchs are busy orchestrating the dismantling of every legal protection against their theft of our jobs, our life savings, our intellectual property and our personal privacy. 

If there are any Republicans around here, I challenge you to name one aspect of American life that has improved under Donald Trump.

Earlier today, a small plane was seen flying a banner over Coney Island and Brighton Beach that read, “Mamdani Stay Away From Ground Zero.” Far from upsetting me, it reaffirmed my faith in our Constitution not only for permitting, but welcoming all speech, no matter how abhorrent we might find it.

I can see it now. Collins and Murkowski vote NO on Blanche. Suddenly, pages wheel a coffin onto the Senate floor, pry it open and, to a collective gasp, Mitch McConnell’s bony hand slithers out and presses the YES button.

Unsurprisingly, the people insisting the Fourteenth Amendment applied only to freed slaves are the same people denying the Second Amendment applied only to muskets.

Please don’t entertain unrealistic hopes for what might follow a Democratic takeover of the House and Senate. Despite Dems holding every committee chair, Republicans could ignore with impunity any subpoenas they might issue, knowing that on POTUS’ orders, the DOJ simply would refuse to act.

Republicans re: Graham Platner- “He has to go now." Same Republicans re: Max Miller- “It’s a family matter."

A tree grows in Brooklyn. And it’s loaded with peaches.

A ballot measure in Missouri would have significantly raised the bar for voters (but not legislators) to amend the state constitution. Happily Missourians, recognizing the contempt with which they are viewed by their Republican officials, flooded the polls and crushed the measure. 

Rapture arrives in the East Village.

Autocracies never endure. Their initial success soon is marred by corruption, bellicosity, incompetence, infighting and repression. Unrest inevitably follows. The regime topples. The Third Reich was supposed to last 1000 years; it lasted 12. How long do we expect this Fourth Reich to survive?

The slashing of Medicaid and Medicare Plan D, the cuts to SNAP and the dismantling of Head Start are all components of Project 2025, whose stated aim is to make life the US untenable for the immigrant, the elderly, the poor and the brown-skinned.
