This totally worked for Biden.

The protests aren’t what brought him down. The voting is what did it.

Tell me you don’t understand the point of elections without telling me…oh forget it.

Voters making a choice is kinda the whole point of elections

Armed federal agents have been knocking on voters’ doors weeks before Election Day, questioning citizenship, registration and prior voting. A federal judge has now stepped in. What does this mean for voter intimidation and who can actually stop you from voting?

There needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for a whole lotta things….

Mark Cuban: "James Talarico. Let's go. I'm a big fan. He's honest, trustworthy, he cares. He'll do the right thing as opposed to the politically expedient thing. To Texans, do what's best for Texas. You've been voting for Republicans all these years, what have they done for you?" #momsky#sheshed

OpenAI’s chatbot fed the school shooter’s violent fantasies and planning up to the massacre, our investigation reveals.

Happy International Archaeology Day! Go burry some stuff in your garden, not rubbish either, something nice for future archaeologists.

That was seven elevenths of a Scaramucci.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

These heds are beginning to pile up. @wsj.com @financialtimes.com @bloomberg.com

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

When -- not if, when -- Republicans respond to their losses this fall by crying about "voter fraud" and demanding Congress or the courts review the results, we have good lawyers and elected officials ready to push back. But the rest of us need to take a page from 2000 and mock them as sore losers.

In the vein of "public libraries could never be created today," a pitch for a calculator would get you thrown out of the boardroom. What do you mean, it just maths? Where are the ads supposed to go? How does it send usage telemetry back if it doesn't even have wifi? There isn't even a leaderboard.

My favorite part of Trump's new diesel order?⁣ ⁣ It says truckers can use red-dye diesel that's earmarked for farmers, then it tells the government to make sure farmers have enough diesel.⁣ ⁣ Good luck with that. You can't make this stuff up. https://youtu.be/AqFtFkdhUo0

For the first time on record, a majority of Americans have not much/no confidence in the government to ensure food safety. news.gallup.com/poll/715430/...

In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.

I do think it's important to give grace to people who realize they made the wrong choice. I don't want to. but other nicer people def should do that. I dont give a shit.

The most disappointing video you’ll see today.

"For decades, we've provided election coverage that's based on in-depth political reporting by an experienced team of journalists backed by commentary from political leaders. But now we're throwing that aside so we can tell you what some of the most irredeemable uninformed gamblers are guessing."

A few thousand dollars will change the bid and get reported as accurate news…the country is lost

House lawmakers spent $6.7 million of taxpayer money on meals and lodging last year — a 21 percent increase over 2024 — under a reimbursement program that doesn’t require them to provide receipts, a Post analysis found. See who spent the most:

the Fuel Clock shows Americans have paid $74.4 billion more on gasoline & $47.5 billion more on diesel since March 1 compared to a year ago. Total cost will hit $122 billion today. also updated the state map where you can find out how much more you're paying. link in my profile.

After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

I think it is very important that Big Balls, personally, goes to jail there are a lot of young goons who think they are invincible and it is important to make it clear that they are not

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

I was told by a guy on Truth Social who wears orange makeup that leaking to the press was treason and people should be prosecuted for it.

Someone tell him that tens of thousands of active duty service members are on food stamps.

I'm not the kind to say it all points back to a single historical episode, but so much of what Trump is doing with ballroom & Kennedy Center—the wanton destruction, the callous indifference to the past—was evident when he destroyed Bonwit Teller's irreplaceable sculptures nearly a half-century ago
