691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

The thing that makes them really mad is that Obama is better than Trump in every single way, including his sense of humor, and they will NEVER get over that.

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

Abusing power and distorting DOJ to manufacture charges against a non-criminal because said true things the president doesn’t like = BAD Using up more of the regime’s limited prosecutorial resources on yet another likely-to-fail effort going after someone who has resources to fight back = GOOD

Three moments broke Trump 2.0: 1) Kimmel and other attempted censorship after Charlie Kirk. Made public see the attack on speech. 2) Minnesota anti-ICE protests, Goode and Pretti killings. Made public see the attack on rights. 3) Iran war. Made public see bad foreign policy affects them directly.

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

Overnight, Kyiv firefighters rescued a small dog from beneath the rubble after russian attack. ​Frightened and injured, the little pup survived, though sadly, his human did not. After providing first aid, firefighters and police officers rushed him to a nearby veterinary clinic.

It’s now clear that Big Tech companies believe AI enables them to operate with fewer employees. Hiring of junior workers has slowed, layoffs continue, and Microsoft is now offering buyouts to 60,000 employees. Tech jobs will increasingly lie in smaller tech companies and businesses outside tech.

The Republican Party takes your money and uses it to openly bribe voters. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The man who has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has in his entire lifetime never says anything positive about his guy Ken Paxton. But he does serve up a steady diet of this stuff.

The citizen who yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" is, in this hard time, a patriot. Honestly, what is left to say about this level of misrule? What careful critique hasn't been already offered? What reasoned response to this full-on run at fascism and kleptocracy remained unspoken?

My favorite part of this rant: “To have to give advanced notices to a judge who has no expertise in Golf, Architecture, Landscaping, Construction, or anything else having to do with building such a World Class Project, is not fair, appropriate, or Constitutional.”

Unbelievably vile 1920s-style scientific racism coming from the pinnacle of US government

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Flávio, these are all really good ideas

I don’t think this is exactly what’s going on, or all that’s going on. It’s not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. It’s that they like that he’s a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.

The minute Dems gain any power at all, watch them descend like locusts, hyping an endless series of fake scandals fed to them by the same RW slop machine that's been playing them for fools for decades. They can't wait.

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

The more I read about how the tide turned in Brazil the more I find it a larger scale version of how Minneapolis fought back and turned the tide against ICE. It was normies and neighbors getting organized and using alt channels of communication to band together and fight.

Every photo of this man looks like an unsuccessful clone of Matthew Rhys

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

And we’re the snowflakes

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

i would like one of those NYT flyover country focus group panels but for EV/hybrid drivers in deep red states who got shit for years from their neighbors for driving the woke and gay electrics and how they're feeling these days

While Russia obstructed all aid and evacuation efforts in occupied Oleshky, Ukraine used heavy-lift drones in September to deliver nearly 4 tonnes of food and medicine to residents facing severe shortages under brutal Russian occupation.

Who funds Jill Stein?

Vance: "We're self-confident men in the Trump-Vance administration. The president's been noticing a lot about the physiques of everybody lately."

The GOP closing message appears to be "extremely sweaty racism"

Recall again how the same newspaper chose to write up "duplicate Clinton emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop." Was that a bigger deal or less of a big deal than rape?

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

Abbott with the "my voters are so dumb they think Hinojosa is an Islamic name" attack

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

I really like the point made here: Dems should be making a public case right now for novel tactics like defunding Trump's corrupt prosecutions, to make them more intelligible later:

one handy thing the CCP and Putin have demonstrated is you can just ban these companies from operating in your country. replacements will sprout up extremely fast

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Even if you’re a business owner or a church leader who is voting for him why would you want to deal with the social media hate, flood of bad reviews, phone calls, customer complaints, or protesters

Trump should disavow the Muslim Brotherhood and return the jet bribe from the organizations's largest funder - Qatar

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

ICYMI yesterday: A threat assessment before the midterms. MAGA wants us to believe that Trump can simply declare “martial law” and wipe away the system - but it’s just not true. The Right’s Fascistic Fever Dreams Are a Sign of Weakness
