"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a strong challenge to his leadership, and there’s a significant chance his third tenure at the helm could soon be over depending on how today’s vote goes."

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

"So, I reached out to Troy Jackson’s campaign and asked for permission to republish her op-ed in full on my blog because her commentary really is quite powerful and should be seen by all voters. The campaign agreed."

New in PN: The weird rise and spectacular fall of Katie Zacharia "Zacharia is not a victim. She is a lying conspiracy theorist who desperately maneuvered herself to attract the attention of an image-obsessed fascist in hopes that she could gain money and fame by lying on his behalf."

I’m so tired of the smirk coming from idiots hired (or who want to be hired) by this administration.

This guy can fuck off all the way to the sun. And I have a few suggestions of who should go with him.

Just heard the phrase “Trump has an edifice complex” - perfect, no notes.

How different would our world be if the Supreme Court had kept their nose out of counting ballots in Florida? I wonder about this all the time. Al Gore would’ve been a better president.

Who gives a shit about what faux Foghorn Leghorn thinks?

Media coverage of Trump’s armed robbery of Venezuela's oil shows “a news industry that has been laundered of a basic sense of right and wrong. Shockingly few people in the media are asking: Do we really want to be a country that blows people up and steals from them?” My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Tim Curry was not the 80-year-old Home Alone 2 cast member we were asking for.

Come on. This is too much. First Dolly Parton, now Tim Curry. 😞 www.tmz.com/2026/08/26/t...

BREAKING We have lost an American treasure!!! Dolly Parton has died. She was 80. What heartbreaking news.

Good - although I’m sure they’ll find someone just as awful.

JFC!

I’m not typically a conspiracy person but this is why I don’t believe the first attempt during the campaign was legit.

The Arctic is warming four times faster than anywhere else. Reindeer are starving. Sámi culture is at risk. For decades, Indigenous nations have demanded a real seat at the UN, not NGO status. Their land, culture, and climate are at stake. ictnews.org/news/as-clim...

14 in a row!!

This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.

I’m old enough to remember when this sank his candidacy. Positively quaint by what’s happening today.

Every member of the current “administration” and GOP.

Hmmm … just going to leave this here.

Note to all D&D players - this is what it looks like when you roll all ones in the charisma category.

Mitch McConnell? Is he still around? Bueller … Bueller …

The best president of my lifetime so far.

Stupidity is contagious.

Oh for fuck’s sake…

The always brilliant Charlotte Clymer.

Finally some good news!

JD can fuck all the way off.

Every word out of their mouths is a confession.

Need Mitch the turtle in here as well.

Boo frickin’ hoo - then don’t be a political hack.

And the smug award goes to… although it’s a tie between this guy and Bessent.

Great @mjtoma.bsky.social piece predicting Rs will nix black Reps in southern states: "It’s hard to believe they’d really have the gall to cut them down to zero. Then again, a lot of things have been happening lately in this country that once seemed hard to believe." newrepublic.com/post/209847/...

The New York Times editorial board tore into the Supreme Court's decision limiting the use of the Voting Rights Act to challenge racial gerrymanders on Wednesday, calling it "a mind-boggling piece of judicial overreach.

Eddie Glaude is bringing it on Deadline White House @nicollewallace.bsky.social

Fuck these fucking fucks.

Justice Kagan put it best: “Under the Court’s new view … a State can, without legal consequence, systematically dilute minority citizens’ voting power.” This ruling amounts to a, “demolition of the Voting Rights Act.”   A shameful day.

What will finally bring down the Supreme Court is not its weird ideology, but the corruption. So many of its members are essentially just criminals, and have been enriching themselves for years by immiserating the American people. John Roberts and his wife should both be in prison.

We live in the dumbest timeline. New Geneland sounds better every day. #bobsburgers

This asshole can fuck off all the way to Sunday and every Sunday after that.

Someone’s brain done “runnoft”…

Bye bye Pamela Jo.

The Handmaid’s Tale was never supposed to be a blueprint. Atwood’s genius was seeing the roots of what could become a dystopian future. And here we are.
