A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

The thing about RFK Jr is that he’s not just a eugenicist who peddles extreme and dangerous anti-science, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories that cause suffering, pain, and death, but he’s also a vile racist piece of s**t

So witkoff/kushner toadie sell out negotiations involves cutting Russian companies in on US energy deals? Are we giving Alaska back to Russia?

Eric Lipton NYT@ericlipton.nytimes.com

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

It's a reminder of the warped degeneracy of the IMPOTUS White House that Oddjob wields "incel" as an attack when he's a poster boy for that crew, given his contempt for women and decency.

Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social

The White House response to questions about why the photos were altered and if they obscured a map of East Potomac. (In a follow-up message, Cheung said the questions were “typical incel behavior.”)

JD is such a useless shitbag. His answer, in and of itself, is a clinic in what a failure in the leadership means.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

The husband of a U.S. soldier killed in Trump's Iran war confronts JD Vance over alleged military leadership failures that led to the deaths of his wife and five other service members. JOEY AMOR: “There's a failure in the leadership.” VANCE: “This is literally the first time I've heard of this.”

Good reminder that fraud Christians are not to be taken seriously.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

I’m old enough to remember his summer book tour, where he claimed his Christian faith had humbled him and vowing that he will lead with love and kindness.

All that wasted education so he could grow up to be a shit-talking thug, sucking up to a bunch of racist white Christian nationalists who hate him for being in a mixed-race marriage. Such a warped, stunted buffoon...

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

Speaking of gratitude, someone who was gifted a senate seat and the vice presidency by sugar daddy should probably show a bit more

And he certainly picked the right gullible rube to spew his nonsense at!

Johnny-come-lately Catholic JD Vance is making an utter ass of himself again. And reminding us that his alleged commitment to religious values is as fraudulent as the rest of pathetic act.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

Vance certainly has gay acquaintances. Most obviously his mentor and most important political booster, Peter Thiel, is gay. But his mental model of Texas voters is that they are a bunch of redneck rubes, so a insinuating a straight candidate is gay will work.

Coming from a guy who's cosplaying Oddjob and obviously continuing to eat his feelings in response to IMPOTUS' taunts about his weight, this has absolutely zero credibility. But it is hilarious!

If there aren't mass resignations from the outlet, it tells you all you need to know about the people working there. They will make noise "behind the scenes" but be content to bend the knee to the regime in public.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Status reports that ABC News deleted that explosive story about the Trump kids getting billions in federal contracts for their companies. ABC hasn't explained why they nuked the story, even as Trump has crowed about its deletion, sparking a firestorm behind scenes. www.status.news/p/david-elli...

This is what having a freakshow like RFK, Jr. in a forward-facing public health role gets you...potshots from authoritarians suggesting your own regime has serious problems.

Poor Mehmet's had issues with groceries since the failed PA US Senate race when he went shopping for crudité.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

When they lied about policy or statistics repeatedly or tried to shift blame elsewhere they fooled a lot of gullible people. But when they started lying about things that even the cult knows more about than these out of touch weirdos, that’s when they lost the plot.

Thankfully, many of these IMPOTUS regime losers are as incompetent at grifting as they are at their taxpayer funded jobs. I've said from the beginning...the comic ineptitude of IMPOTUS II would ultimately undermine their evil, criminal intent.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Every single one of these people view their government appointments as an opportunity to promote themselves and make money grifting while we pay them to do it.

This is the dingus who tried to legislate TDS being made an official clinical diagnosis. So I use his story to ask people who use TDS as an attack phrase whether they share his other predilections. That tends to shut them up. Or totally lose their shit Which is fun...

Katie's a grifter who wants her family to be able to run its scams and associate with whatever criminal scumbags they decide to hitch their wagon to. With no accountability and complete disregard for the law. This is how moral degenerates behave...

On the plus side, the FBI is taking on those who have been engaged in bestiality, so some of these degenerate losers that ICE had to cut loose will land on their feet!

Amee Vanderpool@girlsreallyrule.bsky.social

It looks like ICE is freaking out over all of the unqualified, un-vetted, un-fingerprinted desperation hires, so now officials are mass firing everyone that should have never been hired in the first place. wapo.st/3VfSxCd

Former Canada Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: "I have message for American friends...never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness...We bow to no one." Jean Chrétien is an absolute gem 💎❤️🇨🇦

Back to back posts in my feed. Two nitwit, soulless ghouls carping about how wonderful it is that the regime is bringing misery and death to its citizens. This is what happens when you have incompetent moral degenerates running things...

Call me crazy, but I'm thinking this is the latest brick in the wall when it comes to the substantial body of evidence that Scott Jennings is a lying scumbag and a moral degenerate.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Mitch McConnell supposedly had an in-depth discussion on a wide array of foreign and domestic policy topics with Scott Jennings exactly 2 months ago and we still have no video from Mitch nor has he agreed to any kind of interview with anyone or showed up to work.

Reminder that there are so many grifting shitbags at every level of this corrupt regime that some folks who are not as juiced as they think they are believe they are more aggressive scammers than actual members of IMPOTUS' family. Hilarious. And completely warped.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

Reminder that Lewandowski was a Special Government Employee with a zero dollar contract. Because he saw govt as a graft opportunity for much bigger bucks

FFS...it seems like @nytimes.com is trying to find new ways to remind us how utterly weak and useless they are. Fix your style guide to include the phrase "lie with impunity." Or be content to be called out as lap dogs for access.

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

Congratulations to the New York Times' Euphemism Desk for coming up with a new one. Instead of stating that Maria Bartiromo was letting her guests lie, NYT says she was "permitting her guest commentators to free-associate." 1/2🧵

Fucker would wait three hours in the Fox green room to get on their air, thinking that's a good use of his time. John Fetterman is giving a clinic in being a useless, duplicitous shitbag.

The wee little man is still working through his inadequacy issues, I see. They pulled his security detail because they couldn't find officers who didn't dwarf the arrogant midget with an odd fondness for Nazi-inspired long coats.

It got to point they wouldn't let him do pressers with people standing behind him and reminding world of Bovino's distinct lack of height. In his last presser, poor thing was reduced to standing in front of two flags that looked like they might crush him if they fell over.

But I thought the regime said all was well aboard the Lincoln, saying no sailor had tried to jump and reports of it were "fake news."

The Editorial Board@editorialboard.bsky.social

You can try to understand why the president would repost a scorched-earth tirade that is, at least indirectly, aimed at him, or you can just throw up your hands and say he's insane.

Bolt’s composure and self-control should not be discounted, that is true. WTF are they doing with this? Seriously…

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

"Robots beat Bolt" seem to miss the part where Bolt managed not to destroy himself at the end of the race

FFS...IMPOTUS is so warped and unhinged he can't even work w/Canada. But Jeffries thinks there's an opportunity for bipartisan cooperation with these criminal scumbags? He's willing to pretend they are anything but corrupt degenerates? What the hell is wrong with with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social?

JD Vance suggests it’s bad for America to view itself as the policeman of the world 🤔

Axelrod and the Pod Bros sounds like the name of a band I'd like to load inter a Cybertruck and roll a grenade under...

Fast Casual TBogg+@tbogg.bsky.social

Obama was, and is, an exceptionally gifted and charismatic politician and people like Axelrod and the Pod Save America bros were lucky to latch onto him like lampreys and are still cashing in on it. It’s like they wandered outside, stumbled on a beehive and came back in boasting they invented honey

The regime is currently giving a clinic in what it means to "flood the zone with shit." When things get really bad, you know they're going to make a show out of which staffers get stuck on the decoy plane and which fly with IMPOTUS after he's done another food cart switcher.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Jared Kushner yesterday on Fox: “Iran is engaging in a very strong way and that is quite positive … We are having very positive and active conversations. Probably more robust than it’s maybe ever been.”

In these dark days of degeneracy and abject failure emanating from White House, @mayor.nyc.gov is reminding us of the joy that can be delivered by good people committed to doing right by those they serve. He is truly a gift to our country in these challenging times.

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

Ossoff struck a nerve. (And made Cheung flip out.) Keep at it. Every day. Harp fluffing Dementia Donnie is why he thinks the USS Lincoln isn't a political crisis.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ossoff on why he invoked Natalie Harp during his speech: "We're in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives ... and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself"

To be fair, Boutros has been busy getting his ass kicked over the Broadview Six case, so he may be having second thoughts about this prosecution. And by "second thoughts" I mean chugging Jeanine Pirro levels of bad boxed wine trying to figure out how to extricate his sorry ass from this mess.

BREAKING NYT: Trump's U.S. attorney's office in Chicago has spent the past year investigating a Democratic fundraising firm once co-owned by the daughter of the judge in Trump's hush money trial. The office demanded the firm's internal comms with clients — including Harris, Biden, and Jeffries.
