Still laughing... "Shove that ballroom up your ass."

Trump: "Our country is doing so well under Republicleeeeee leadership"

Vance: "Remember in 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine and gas prices skyrocketed. They skyrocketed, by the way, far higher than they are today...They skyrocket every time some tin pot dictator decides to throw a tantrum."

Judge finds DOJ's firing of Maurene Comey, federal prosecutor in cases involving Jeffrey Epstein and Sean "Diddy" Combs, was unconstitutional. https://cnn.it/4spxklG

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

El-Sayed: "If you, like me, are sick and tired of wondering why we had to dodge lettuce all summer, wondering why the guy who leads HHS literally takes his grandkids swimming in shit's creek? I think we all could agree we probably need a public health senator right about now."

I’m a father of two and you could not torture this story out of me.

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

Zach Lahn, the Republican nominee for governor of Iowa, has pitched himself as a self-made businessman in his campaign. But there is a more complicated tale of Lahn’s rise that is interwoven with the Koch family, one of America’s richest and most influential political dynasties.

I'm grateful to receive the endorsement of the Des Moines Register Editorial Board. In 9 days, we're going to win this race and deliver change for Iowa!

Thoughts and prayers to Pam Bondi, whose record for “most depraved Attorney General” was broken so quickly

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

Reminder my opponent wants to ban all mRNA anything. Here’s a screenshot of him saying it.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

I guess this is one way to keep young people interested in working for Republicans. "So, yeah, benefits include 401k, FSA, a full pardon, and dental."

White House Staff Heartbroken By Sight Of Weak Trump Struggling To Yell Racial Slurs At TV https://theonion.com/white-house-staff-heartbroken-by-sight-of-weak-trump-st-1845298690/

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. .. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage .. But nothing flourishes in that world." This is very well articulated A fascinating read:

SEXTON: What has the Trump administration been working on to help people pay their bills? SCOTT BESSENT: The Biden administration ...

Trump State Department spokeswoman Britt McHenry tosses a beer at a fan before being escorted out of a Wizards game for being drunk and rowdy. The State Department confirmed this morning that diplomatic relations have been severed with Section 112.

"Americans have become plenty familiar with Machiavellian politics during the [Trump] era. ... And [VP] JD Vance is cut from the same cloth," writes CNN's Aaron Blake. "The main difference is that Vance will operate that way and then happily explain how that’s exactly what he’s doing." | Analysis

Pete Hegseth considers fallen U.S. military personnel to be nothing more than a PR problem that makes Donald Trump look bad. However, the families who’ve lost loved ones proudly honor their sacrifice because, unlike Trump and Hegseth, those who died were real patriots who loved their country.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

"Vote for us or we won't pay Marines and their families restitution for poisoning them" is one way to go.

"This is the story again and again as Trump tours the redder parts of the country: The venues are smaller, the crowds are less excited, and the man at the podium is weirder" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

New in PN: The end of the Trump rally "Even for the diehards, his rallies have become a slog as a sleepy president rambles pointlessly from one subject to another, like a musical act whose hit-making days are decades in the past playing the old songs with little of the verve that made them popular"

Breaking news: A federal judge has restricted the Department of Homeland Security from election-related investigations in nine states, finding that error-prone government lists could sweep U.S. citizens into the effort.

I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt. It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.

Good thing Amy Acton's rapist stepfather is dead because he'd be speaking at the next trump rally in Ohio.

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

a deranged Peter Navarro lies on Newsmax of covid that Fauci "created the virus himself"

Also the *specific* thing the mother claims Acton lied about was that the family lived in a tent during part of her childhood. The court records show that the stepfather was arrested... in the tent where they were living.

I guess that's because Ramaswamy's op-ed in the New York Times denouncing the groypers who pepper his social media replies with slurs was written down. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/o...

Vance says he is "a little bit disgusted" with Republicans complaining about the widely condemned Vivek ad on Amy Acton's estranged mother.

Trump: "We've given a lot to Ukraine. We've gotten absolutely nothing back, except grief, death, and tremendous monetary loss." I don't know how you live with yourself. "Tremendous MONETARY loss"? Well, sorry we got invaded and Russia has been bombing us every day for years and years,

The intersection of virtually unrestricted cash gifts to the executive, an unrestricted executive pardon power, and a Congress unable or unwilling to utilize the impeachment power is virtually fatal to democracy.

This 👇 had me yelling YES!! over my coffee this morning. A decade of feeling like the only adult in a room full of 10 year old bullies.

They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.

"However mad you are, it’s not mad enough. Because this isn’t just about Joe Manchin. It’s a fundamental asymmetry between Democrats and Republicans that’s driving the fascist movement in America." @jvl.bsky.social on Joe Manchin in today's Triad:

Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

Me coming home from kindergarten

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.
