As someone noted last night, it's like a heckler trying to throw off a comedian.
The person on stage has probably dealt with this challenge before and workshopped a withering response, plus the crowd is already on his side. It's not a wise challenge.

President Donald Trump pledged to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The promise, made at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, could cost over $1 trillion and would require congressional approval.
I think they got high on their "success"
The world's ten richest men more than doubled their fortune during the first two years of pandemic.
and the perceived attitude now is "I doubled my fortune in two years, who are you to tell me no."
I do think “every rich person went insane during covid because it was the first time they’ve been inconvenienced in decades” felt a little reductive at first but damn if isn’t more and more compelling as the years drag on
The NBA has suspended the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers for violating the league's salary rules for the team's star player. Pablo Torre first broke the story and joins The Group Chat to discuss the latest developments.

The hype around The Draft! Sorry. It's a little difficult to tune out sometimes, they're trying really hard to make The Draft into an event for us NPCs - I don't care about your draft picks or your trades.
I'm sure the players and their families care, but. . .
Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.
This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.
Forecast: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 3pm. Some of the storms could be severe. Partly sunny, with a high near 79 low around 44F
Our "normal" temperature for 11 March is 53 32F
Even though it's early March, the weather in Washington DC this morning very much reminds me of a paticular day in September.
It's weird when good weather gives you ominous feelings.
It's not always the worst when a song "goes commercial."
5yo wasn't the intended audience of The Dad commercial and Chicago wasn't the product, but Chicago has a new fan!
He asked me to play the song several more times and then TT introduced him to several more Chicago tunes.
Jesus Christ, @kaine.senate.gov, getting a pinky promise to hold one single vote on ACA funding is not "a path toward fixing the health care mess" anymore than a lottery ticket is a "path toward fixing my personal finances"
My husband and I are discussing what we'd do if I primaries Tim Kaine in 2030. We've come up with this slogan. My husband is working on a yard sign now. Thoughts?
Wait for it...
Tennant for Senate.
Fuck Those Guys.
Our story on President Trump, his aides and the crypto and UAE chips deals gets a humorous treatment on Seth Meyers, after John Lyons from Australian Broadcasting Corporation's
Four Corners asked President Trump about our reporting on Tuesday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HmK... @johnthelyonsden.bsky
Does Johnson know the FBI recruits “informants” by presenting criminals with evidence of their guilt before offering to let them off if they “turn” on bigger criminals in order to bring down their entire organizations
Like, I know this because I watch TV
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial?
Then posted it on social media?
And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
I wish Biden had just fired Trump appointees in independent federal agencies left and right. It would have forced the SCOTUS to address these issues with a Democratic president, and then those would have been precedents that would be more awkward for the Court to backtrack (w/o looking obvious)
"WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 1, 2025) – The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations"

It's been years since I've seen a South park episode! It was my option to pick a show last night, so I put this one on after seeing some post about it here. . .
I didn't make TT watch, but she did and I believe her sole comment at the conclusion was "That was amazing." LOL
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”
The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship.
Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?
9/ The tariffs are DESIGNED to create economic hardship. Why? So that Trump has a straight face rationale for releasing them, business by business or industry by industry.
As he adjusts or grants relief, it’s a win-win: the economy improves and dissent disappears.
As I explain here, security isn't even the biggest part of the Signal Scandal. This is to keep actions secret from the US government. It's how to do crimes, bribes and more. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/signa...
Trump claiming that NSC knew that Trump's entire NatSec team did something wildly incompetent and none of them -- not JD Vance, not Mike Waltz, not Susie Wiles
-- gave him a heads up.
Highly likely that's a lie, but it's not a lie that makes him look less stupid.
Trump on his cabinet members using Signal to text war plans to a reporter: "I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic. To be it's a magazine that's going out of business. But I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what?"
