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

It's tempting to see Trump's Alaskan adventure as more electoral skullduggery. But it's a dangerous escalation of his attacks on democracy. He's not trying to suppress votes, he's trying to steal votes that have already been cast. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"Imagine a mother who would run away—abandoning her children—because she chose a pedophile rapist over her own flesh and blood. And now imagine that woman slithering out from her hole to defame her daughter in the service of helping a cretin."

I don't care for how this has become almost a joke people throw in along with how he's old and fat and orange rather than a stomach-churning, existentially horrifying thing for a nation to know about its head of state.

I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

OUR 44th president. Let's finish what he started and guarantee healthcare for every American. 🇺🇸

After waiting hours for their loved ones, families were reunited with released ICE detainees. FREE THEM ALL!!!

They’re also people who can’t name another woman athlete besides Caitlin Clark

One of those moments I'll never forget.

Abdul is trying to tell you something VERY important:

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

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.

Our $2M investment in the Sea Cliffs Exhibit Renovation Project has gotten a pretty clear seal of approval.

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

Good win. We're going to have to run the table with these lawsuits, which will come fast and thick as we approach the election and for weeks after.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

What in the ever loving racist incorrect mouth dropping is this??? The Arab world “produces” plenty of “science”… which is all the more impressive since the West periodically bombs all their shit.

this man is a gotdamned patriot

yup.

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

Indeed, who could have known ahead of time that accepting the invite to the Trump White House for a photo-op by a Daily Signal writer who's a senior advisor to the president of Heritage Foundation, 2 wks before midterms when Catholic support is cratering would seem 'political'?

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.
