A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state and congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in the midterms, according to people involved.

This will receive less attention than Obama's tan suit. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Ha ha. Look closely at this screenshot of Juliana Stratton’s TV ad. She’s running for the U.S. Senate. #Illinois

Me liking all of the posts abt Hoon Lee getting an Emmy for his role in #eastofeden

Donald Trump is betraying Ukraine and the USA and violating his own Russian sanctions to buy oil from Russia because he’s terrified of losing the midterms because he’s in the Epstein Files over a million times.

The amount of money Jeff Bezos "earns" in 5 MINUTES could completely pay off the debt I've accrued while fighting #cancer for the last 18 YEARS. He could be doing so many amazing things for humanity. What a shame. I hope to someday live in a country where I don't need this help. ❤️

Campus squirrel. Saw this little fella on the quad at the University of Illinois. #sqrlpix #mammals #squirrel

i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome” cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

El-Sayed on Trump posting image of him & his wife in a restaurant w/ caption "2 DIFFERENT Americas": "He's right. One in which your overlords are 2 people who don't like each other joined in the interest in making billions off of you, or 2 people who genuinely love each other enjoying pancakes ... "

Dr. Fauci belongs in prison! We’d never inject unnatural chemicals like the COVID vaccine into our bodies!”

Oh. My. God. FOX host doesn’t know that pigeons lay eggs. So he thought they give birth like mammals? He was genuinely surprised when corrected.

Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 19 children with 7 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.

"Rainy Evening Street" - my oil painting

When we have fires in the US, Canada sent help. When Canada has fires, Trump threatens them with tariffs. What an asshole.

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.

Goes to one Knicks game and they lose for the literal first time in 2 months. Calls the head of FIFA to make him overturn a red card and then the US loses in one of the worst matches of the tournament. No one does it like him, it’s actually amazing

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Cody Gakpo scores just days after losing an unborn child 😭

Of course it looks like a fucking Reichsadler. Why wouldn’t it 🤦‍♂️

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

Had to go into a Walmart for supplies (since it’s the only store near the town we are staying) and saw these abominations. JFC America is a broken country.

Trump is not going to like this Fox News graphic

This Father's Day, I'm thinking about how my dad immigrated to the US after escaping the bloody Vietnam War, only to see his bloodline die out because his son stumbled into a menswear forum, where he spent the bulk of his adult life arguing about pants with teens named Pablo Thriftscobar.

This Iranian “deal” has made it clear to the entire planet that Donald Trump’s promotion of himself as the consummate negotiator was always a myth. He has shown his incompetence in a very public, high profile way.

Mamdani: "Solidarity with a government that is committing genocide is a very different thing than a question of solidarity with people of a specific faith. I'm proud to be a mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in this country."

Ok. Not a Knicks fan but this is cool 🫶🏾❤️ #Respect

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

In front of the Lincoln Memorial. This.

Here is a livestream of crews removing Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center. I’m pretending this is part of the 250 celebrations. www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

In Kim Thayil’s upcoming memoir, the guitarist sheds light on a rather “Superunknown” fact about his band Soundgarden and the genesis of Seattle’s grunge scene — it all started in the Chicago suburbs.

The absolute funniest irony of the Bears stadium situation is the same people who bitch about taxes in Illinois are the ones bitching that JB isn’t raising our taxes so a football franchise worth billions can build a new stadium

BREAKING: After 80 long days, four Republicans voted with Democrats and helped advance our War Powers Resolution that would rein in Trump's illegal war. Our troops and the American people have paid enough.

So AI steals our language and then uses our electricity and water to make other people even richer?

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

It's widely accepted that hantavirus transmits from rodent excreta to humans via inhalation of aerosolized virus, so I don't understand why we're so reluctant to acknowledge the inhalation route for human-to-human transmission. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/h...

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not
