But...it's a magic wand. We all love magic wands. Magic wands fix everything.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

🔥 “You voted to cover up the evidence even though you knew 14-year-old girls had been raped because Donald Trump told you to.” Sen. @ossoff.bsky.social savages Mike Collins to his face on the debate stage

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

The horse carriage industry is coming to an end in New York City. Our administration will make sure workers and owners are protected and the horses are safe.

The extrajudicial execution policy was never about stopping the illicit drug trade. But even if it was, it very predictably failed. apple.news/AyFvPIlW9TSe...

For the love of God, stop saying this regime's ruthless authoritarianism "raises questions" and start telling us what answers you have for us. If you can't do that, get the fuck out of the way.

We are being killed by the world's dumbest people.

With Trump’s latest betrayal of Ukraine, MAGA Republicans who continue to defend Trump when he licks Putin’s balls can all go fuck themselves. Trump is a feckless, pathetic traitor — and he has the blood of innocent Ukrainian children on his hands.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

This ICE agent’s entire Instagram feed, “shooter.914,” is guns, watches, energy drinks, and alcohol.

The Russians are barbarians and should be treated as such, not as people to negotiate new business deals with to benefit corrupt oligarchs in the US.

Nobody is prepared for the world of drone warfare that is coming, in fact is already here www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

Insane. The most corrupt president in American history, with no close 2nd. 🏆 🇺🇸

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

A mother and daughter were nearly killed when their car was struck and flipped four times. ICE arrested them at the hospital. No criminal history or removal orders for either. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Sure did! 😬

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

Ossoff: "Aren't we all tired of living under an administration where we know we have to ask about every single thing whether the first family is getting paid and lining their own pockets?"

Never tell your cat your pin number .

If you are part of a comms team and your immediate initial response isn’t “fuck you, you’re wrong, here’s our twelve citations that prove otherwise in an absolutely humiliating fashion” then you are simply not equipped to do your job in the modern political age

Have we litigated this to death? Absolutely. Does it feel exhausting to have to do it again? Sure. But he's going to use these 2020 lies as an excuse for meddling in the 2026 midterms, so the lies need to be called out as obvious bullshit AND a direct threat to our political system.

The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.

🔥 SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “This war in Iran is the worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq. And just like the Iraq war, it’s a war built on lies. The ‘America first’ President who said he would end foreign wars, now he says all we can afford is war.”

Does anyone still believe this horse shit?

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

Who the fuck asked for this?

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked: -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Expanded Child Tax Credit -Programs to support reproductive health Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Not only is authoritarianism not new, it is still in our living memory. Southern racial apartheid is more recent than the Nazis, and more relevant to understanding our current politics. As American politics have nationalized, the South anchors one of the two parties and exported its politics 5/x

This actually happened before, but it’s not a cult

“A chance discovery of a broken bronze cup in Spain has revealed a 1,900-year-old depiction of Hadrian's Wall and forts in England, a new study reports. The multicolored vessel was likely crafted as a memento of a soldier's time defending the frontiers of the Roman Empire, the study authors said.”

1000 people started spontaneously chanting U-S-A in the San Diego air and space museum at splashdown And you know what? FUND AMERICAN SCIENCE. Imagine who we could be.
