Maybe things have changed, but in years past, you could tell which Financial District restaurants were the most expensive by seeing how many WSJ Editorial Page editors were dining inside

vivek's hairstyle kind of looks like dessert at the cheesecake factory

Yes, yes, the renewed accusations that the president is a serial rapist and was an active participant in Epstein's pedophilia and sex trafficking would seem alarming, but it doesn't involve the Cheesecake Factory so ...

Brat of yore caught on film.

The Grand Old Rape Party

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

Whether it’s Republicans openly demanding bribes or Democrats investigating the payment of bribes, both parties have created a tense and politicized environment for CEOs.

Anyway, that was this year's mammogram sorted. If you are of the appropriate demographic and have access to such a thing: GO GET YOURS. They're important!

it literally does?

The Ethicist | As part of a feud with my neighbor, I reported her Guatamalan gardener to ICE. I've since learned they shipped him to Central African Republic—not what I'd intended. Given my anguish, can I now claim my Pomeranian as an emotional support dog that can sit with me in First Class?

Assholes Usually Drive It

I have to pick up a pumpkin soon! 🎃 Here are some of the jack-o'-lanterns I've done for the cats in the past. 1. The vet 2. Vacuum cleaner 3. Spray bottle 4. Nail clippers 5. The cone 6. Fleas

Trump: "Collins could call me anytime he wants. 'You gotta help the farmers!' ... there's a big difference between that and Pee Wee Herman calling. 'Tell him I'm not in!' 'But he needs money for Georgia.' 'I don't give a damn what he wants!' Probably I shouldn't say that."

let’s make GORP happen

They will *absolutely* be drawn to the spotlight of a congressional hearing and freely shout all of the insane shit that their political associates would rather keep quiet about.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

AOC: "They call people communists, they call them this or that. But really what it is is they're afraid of a waitress in the House and a logger in the Senate"

Some people are compelled to repost Tom Holland's Umbrella video whenever it crosses their feed. I am compelled to do the same with @garygulman.bsky.social's masterpiece.

"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by curators. Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They dropped it...The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide." wapo.st/3WF2YQo

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

You can't afford a full tank of gas but Mike Rogers is chartering private planes and repairing his campaign's BMW. Summer's over so yachting turns to jetting I guess! Mike Rogers is just looking to go through the revolving door of politics to make another $14M.

if you refuse the opportunity to vaccinate your pets then you are too stupid to be responsible for your own life, much less anything else’s

Just a reminder that the ad does not, in fact, "call it out like it is." As even National Review has detailed, Acton's accusations about her stepfather's abuse, her mother's complicity and even the fact that they were living in a test are well documented

Just a perfect song in every single way.

Deplorable.

Full quote is worse. Vance: “I am a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining more about that ad... My message to my fellow elected Republicans: stop whining about an ad.”

This is grotesque. Nobody in Trump's press shop should ever work again. Go read some of Andrew Feinberg's output, just to make these vile people unhappy: www.the-independent.com/author/andre...

WSJ reports that Elon Musk took a break from pouring in hundreds of millions of dollars to help Ken Paxton's campaign to order a the slowdown of Starlink that tripped up Ukraine. www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

WATCH: After the viral exchange between Abdul El-Sayed and a heckler named “Tommy,” independent reporter @marisakabas.bsky.social uncovered the man’s ties to Republican politics.

I found a longer article. Her husband divorced her over it! That level of commitment is remarkable. www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

We finally found the paid protesters Trump keeps talking about

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Energy Secretary Wright is campaigning with Ken Paxton today in Texas. A reminder that government officials partaking in campaign events should not be normal.

No mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social discovering his identity. No credit for her investigative work at all.

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.
