We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Are we sure JD Vance of all people wants to start bringing up which apple trees people fell out of?

JD Vance, soon: Can you really trust a candidate whose mother killed kittens? How far from the tree could the apple really have fallen? www.mediaite.com/crime/amy-ac...

"Mahoning County has long been lionized as the locus point of Trump’s successful exploitation of angst over deindustrialization. Yet Mahoning is also a place where his promises imploded with unusual force,"

newrepublic.comTrump Just Visited a MAGA Town in Ohio. Its Voters are Turning on Him.Democrats think they have a shot at flipping hardscrabble Mahoning County, which Trump turned into a symbol of the rightward blue-collar turn. Yep, he’s even unpopular there too.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

Oh, so that's why he can't breathe

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Happy birthday and that's a lovely Shallan!

“the secretary of health and human services food-shamed the secretary of state by instructing AI to create an image of him spoon-feeding sauerkraut to the vice president and then posting it on X” is now a true sentence you can say before pulling your hair out.

Civil rights warriors insofar as they're expected to fight civil rights

Zach Everson@zacheverson.com

NEW: Harmeet Dhillon swore in 100+ new Civil Rights Division lawyers as "civil rights warriors" for "ALL Americans" — then named exactly none of them. So we did. Court filings let us ID 11. At least 5 arrived with records of misconduct, controversy, or hiring irregularities. 1/

Breaking News: US Congressman invites Canadian groomers to the US

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"

If the Nobel committee won’t give Trump the Peace Prize for ending the most number of wars… maybe they’ll give it to him for ending one war the most number of times.

I remember a time when "crypto-fascist" used to mean a fascist hiding their bigotry. Now it means a fascist, open about their bigotry, and funded by crypto.

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

Pope Leo XIV gifted Marco Rubio a plant of peace. In return, Marco Rubio gave the pope a crystal football. The pope’s response? “Wow. Okay.”

obviously the 24 kt gold plating is essential now too and id like to see you libs even try to argue against trumps gold plated 30 ft tall mechanical spider right now, go on try me

My opinion is that it wasn't totally staged, but that Trump Inc. had contingency plans in place to maximize the memetic potential of any potential violence. I just can't get over the fact that there's absolutely no scarring.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Trump claimed the power to unleash a tariff war by declaring a “national emergency.” This is clearly a false predicate. The tariff power lies with Congress per the Constitution. Trump’s invocation of an “emergency” in order to punish countries whose leaders don’t grovel is utterly ridiculous.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

But see, you could be happy because you have those hobbies, passions, and relationships to find happiness in, and money just makes that easier. Wealth just makes you more of who you are. Elon Musk is, at heart, a miserable person

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...
