I want a Colbert comeback! The signs are still up, only the CBS logo needs to be removed. #IWantAColbertComeback #ColbertComeback #ShameonCBS

The World Series is a lesson in Florida politics. It was cheaper for Brewers' fans to fly down and watch the game in Tampa than in their own ballpark. $2300+ for a ticket in Milwaukee and $517-603 in Tampa. Cheaper to fly and watch on the road than at home. (1/x)

Florida has no individual income tax and relies on sales taxes and tourism. It is anti-union and exploits workers in favor of corporate profits. Therefore, local residents have little money left over to buy World Series tickets. (3/x)

The end result is that there are as many Brewers' fans tonight at Tropicana Field as there are Rays' fans. (4/4)

Florida is a State with a high cost of living that attracts wealthier people from all over the country looking to escape high taxes elsewhere. They raise housing costs for everyone. Meanwhile, local residents can't handle the high costs. (2/x)

And Ron DeSantis might be to blame for there being so many Brewers' fans at the Trop tonight.

While everyone knows that there's an M and a B hidden in the Brewers logo, most people don't realize that there's a T and a B hidden in Tropicana Field. That's right, Ron DeSantis brought tuberculosis back to Florida.

The Brewers need two more wins to win the World Series. They just played noted Trump critic Bruce Springsteen's Glory Days as their victory song. I wonder if Trump will complain about this and rescind their White House invitation. #2026WorldSeries

And Trump always claimed he hired the "best people." Thieves of a feather flock together until they're in the same pot of boiling water together. Then they turn on each other.

Trump on Corey Lewandowski possibly being under investigation: "If view it as if people aren't honest, they're stealing from me ... I guess I could stop anything. I have no idea what he did."

Maybe America needs to elect a comedian. Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert could do a better job than this guy.

Senile Satan is a failed game show host who wears diapers, sports a head ferret and shoe lifts, squeezes into a girdle, paints his face orange, robs everyone blind, and is a pathological liar and cheater. Every word of this is BS.

Amazing job by Cat Murphy to stand up to Andy Harris' lies and to keep filming and asking him tough questions. She just launched her career here with her persistence.

Baltimore Banner@thebaltimorebanner.com

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Trump is funding Putin's war machine to cover up the failure of his own war machine. #WorstPresidentEver

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

A picture or video that says a million words. Confiscate all the money they have made from insider trading.

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

If we want to defeat Republicans, we don’t talk as if we want to cancel Thanksgiving. It’s a holiday we celebrate without asking.

She added that she knew little about Letlow but was counting on the president to lower her healthcare costs and increase her social safety net. Must add that Marrero, LA has a median household income of $36,200. Average home price is about $231,000. Numerous homes priced under $200,000. (2/x)

Mike Pence is acting really clueless on @meetthepress.com. He doesn't understand that his Republican Party has failed because they constantly lick the boots of Donald Trump. He hasn't addressed Trump's insider trading or high gas prices from his stupid Iran War.

@allinwithchris.bsky.social The reason they did not redistrict in South Carolina is that they could not figure out a 7-0 GOP map. It is a State that is 10 points less red than Tennessee. They risked creating 2 seats that Democrats could potentially win by a couple of percentage points each. (1/2)

The current President doesn’t want the American people to know know how much money he has stolen from them through extortion, bribery, and insider trading.

Ted Turner was, y'know, imperfect, because no billionaire should even exist, but I respect the way that his own employees could repeatedly dunk on him on national television and he simply did not give a shit. If anything, he thought it was funny. Current billionaires could learn from this example.

Tiger Woods does not deserve anyone's sympathy. He's a grown ass man who decided to get behind the wheel of a car under the influence YET AGAIN and endangered the lives of others. You do not, in fact, have to feel sorry for him. It was stupid, selfish, and irresponsible.

RIP Robert Mueller, a public servant committed to protecting our country against Trump’s corruption and lawlessness.

Absolutely disgusting to see this White House use NFL players as propaganda for a foolish war that Trump started to distract from the Epstein Files.

What about the corruption and lawlessness from this President? #SOTU

We've reached the Nazi part of Trump's speech: "The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where corruption and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception. Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration ... "
