Yes, Daughters of the American Revolution is notorious for its inclusiveness, especially in the 1920s. Eleanor Roosevelt even quit over their racism. So cool observation, bigot.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Blanche is not the people's attorney general. He's Trump's fascist enforcer.

Trump on data centers: "I say let them come in ... you should really be cool on data centers because you can make a fortune with the data centers" (Note the total silence of the crowd during this rant!)

Apparently, Trump forgot cameras exist. The Liar-in-Chief is doing a rally in Michigan today, so the contrast will be even more obvious. Oops.

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels. In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.

The dumbest takes are MAGA trying to claim Obama’s line about Trump making the WH look like a Cheesecake Factory is somehow elitist because CF fans will be offended that someone doesn’t want the WH to look like a chain restaurant. Even their culture war BS is lame this cycle.

Oh, honey . . . your own mother shipped you off to a reform school (with cute little military costumes) after you were caught throwing rocks into a baby carriage and she realized you were too twisted to deal with.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Gaslighting 101: The AG is literally calling us crazy for thinking Trump will use the levers of government power to overturn the results of an election, when he has a documented history of doing just that. That’s tyranny.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

The "poor Russian conscripts" are actually, in the overwhelming majority, not conscripts at all, but people who go to war to murder Ukrainians for money. ​"They have no choice" - what bullshit. Going to jail instead of bombing a playground full of children is a choice. Emigration is a choice.

Wonder if they’ll be mad about Trump saying he doesn’t give a damn about us getting gouged at the pump because he’s making trillions or that data centers are great because of the profits for the wealthy.
