Have you read the new staff report from the House Judiciary Committee? I looked in the NYT, WashPo, the Atlantic, and CNN—and didn't see it. We live in very strange times. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

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.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

“Unfortunately, finding a stray tabby under a car and gently tying your ballot to its tail with a ribbon almost certainly ensures your vote will miss the deadline for counting.” — Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State

Threads is where the conversation is happening

Ah, yes. California. A state famously inhospitable to automobiles and car-centric development.

Whether it's Republicans not being allowed within 200 feet of a Chuck E. Cheese or Democrats making jokes about a Cheesecake Factory, both side have a fraught relationship with chain restaurants.

I’m a father of two and you could not torture this story out of me.

Just out of frame of this lifted monstrosity are dozens of children playing in a public space. A grown man is cutting through a plaza just to peacock, yet the biggest safety panic in our city right now is about e-bikes.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

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

Why isn’t EVERYONE pointing this out?

In this Ohio town, it was a Sunday tradition: Latin mass, big game of softball, then over to the old Cheesecake Factory for some lemon-ricotta pancakes and a peach Bellini spritz. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

Schmitt: Did you attend a concert wearing an anti-Trump shirt? Smith: I wore a “No Kings” shirt. It used to be a bipartisan American sentiment.

Did the New York Times’ regular headline writers call in sick? I‘d love to see more headlines as direct as this one.

From the Dumb Runner Comics Vault:

Druid Loving This Cloak Weather

A major problem with political journalism is the perceived obligation to treat Republicans and Democrats equally, to be "nonpartisan." The NY Times editor in this video thinks this way. But as I explain, Dems vs. GOP is a simplistic focus. It should be decency vs. indecency, democracy vs. fascism.

Obama argues that we won’t fix our political problems unless we rediscover our moral compass first

This admission alone is an impeachable offense
