Hearing people on TV saying 4–1 is a misleading score. What the hell were they watching? It could’ve been 4-1 in the first half. It was a complete and utter dogshit performance with no redeeming factors.

Absolutely fucking not

US President Donald Trump has asked lawmakers for a $1.5 trillion defense budget for 2027 -- a 40 percent boost that would be the biggest to the Pentagon's spending since World War II u.afp.com/SbLY

Dear Europe, This is insane. We are embarrassed. We're a huge country with 350 million people and its really difficult to organize at that scale, but we are working on it. We appreciate you, Sane Americans

I've heard others say it and I'm really feeling it too. We should definitely embrace the American flag as part of the resistance to fascism and the authoritarian government. It must stand as a symbol of decency and democracy, not what the GOP is trying to rebrand it as.

Tangerine Palpatine is a pathetic man. He and his regime are a danger to the US and the rest of the world. Those who voted for him, along with those who didn't vote, have a lot of blood on their hands. They own this nightmare.

Panthers fans are now staring at the Falcons and brothers and sisters, let me tell you what happens when you expect things from the Atlanta Falcons football club.

The Panthers and Bucs both counting on the pure hatred between the Falcons and Saints to motivate them on Sunday is the perfect way to decide the winner of the NFC South

I think reasonable people can quibble over Trump or Bush being the worst president (I still say it’s Bush) but I think we can all agree Donald Trump is the dumbest person to hold the American presidency.

#PaulJoshua was, as expected, pathetic. Paul survived not by boxing, but by running away and, idiotically, trying to wrestle. And when he couldn't run anymore, he got caned. Let this be the last time we see this pick-me loser millionaire taken in any way seriously in the sport.

Trump describes himself as the first Jewish President. No. But he is a schmuck, a shlemiel, a meshugge putz who only ever knows how to kvetch. He has done bupkis for America, only himself. He’s all spiel, but he’s just a ligner, a gonif. He’s the ultimate paskudnik. 🖖

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

Trump won 50.9% of the vote in North Carolina. If their gerrymander works, the GOP will have 78.6% of the NC US House Seats. Unlike the Senate, the Founding Fathers designed the House to be a majoritarian body. This goes against the right's beloved originalism. Which is a totally made up thing.

Replying to @davidfrum.bsky.social

It's pretty easy to operate a "good enough" national economic policy: don't run big fiscal deficits, don't over-regulate business, don't under-regulate banks, keep the infrastructure up to date, educate the next generation, uphold honest justice, trade freely with the world.

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

Something that’ll never fail to bother me about the Supreme Court is that many of the justices proclaim to be faithful keepers of our history but then fail to learn anything meaningful from it. “I’ll talk about the ancient origins of habeas while also destroying its value as an enduring principle.”

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Respectfully @AGPamBondi, fuck off. This is America. We have free speech here. We are free to criticize @elonmusk. This is an utterly un-American thing for you to say. Just do your damn job. And re-read the First Amendment.
