There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.
Imagine if, four years after invading Iraq, we controlled only 20% of it and had suffered 1.3 million casualties.
Would anyone call that “winning”?
Of course not.
But when it’s Russia, we’re supposed to believe Putin holds all the cards.
Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection to reject the peaceful transfer of power & deny the people's will. He never should have been able to run again. GOP senators condemning Jack Smith for conducting a fact-based investigation as politics & worse are engaged in treachery of the worst order.
The Star Spangled Banner being played by the Mariachi Herencia de Mexico band before the Bears-Eagles game in Chicago on Monday Night Football was a deeply cool thing to see tonight
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
Trump misstating and touting a meaningless deal over Greenland, while the entire Middle East security architecture falls apart due to his own actions, is emblematic of this administration’s foreign policy.
Former special counsel Robert Mueller was asked if Russia is still interfering in our elections. He responded “They’re doing it as we sit here” during his 2019 congressional testimony.
Heads up: The Russian government has been targeting Americans with covert online disinformation operations seeking to undermine public confidence the midterms — using a familiar playbook in an attempt to inject chaos into the voting season, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
Boykin: The Republicans control the entire government. They control the white house. They control the house. They control the senate. They control six of the nine seats on the supreme court. If you're not happy with the way the country is running America, blame the Republicans.
New in PN: Retire in peace
"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"
Mike Johnson sending the House home to avoid a vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment is a cowardly disgrace…and another reminder why these anti-democratic, pro-war, pro-Trump, Epstein file coverup enablers and Republican failures need to be sent home permanently.
Ossoff: Blanche is a joke and a hack. These folks are not just corrupt, they're clowns. Here you have a Kremlin connected Russian oligarch giving massive cash gifts to the president's son…
The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.
Ossoff: Now remember Trump promised to lower prices on day one. But last week, the broken old man threw a two-day party in Texas while it costs more than ever to fill up your truck, to stock your fridge, and to power your home.
gas prices seeing slight decline as price cycling states see competition undercutting each other pushing prices slightly lower, but diesel continues to rise... $4.292 for gasoline, $6.191 for diesel. Americans today will spend ~$736 million more on fuel than one year ago
Whatever happened to the Board of Peace beyond the collection of billions of dollars? Has it done anything, solved anything, created peace in any conflict? Or was it just another photo op?
Good stuff here on how media has been using Sister Souljah gotcha moments against Dems for over 20 years as a "rite of passage" that just isn't applied equivalently to Republicans, no matter how loudly media figures deny it. Dems: Choose not to play.
If the media is going to insist that politicians denounce their supporters who make extremist statements, I have a suggestion for someone a bit more important than a Twitch streamer.
A little more than six months after the US-Iran conflict began, gas prices remain far higher than they were in late February — when a gallon of regular gas cost $2.98, on average, nationwide, according to AAA. On Sunday, drivers paid an average of $4.15 a gallon. https://cnn.it/46IrO3D
Doubt America has devolved into a dictatorship and a kleptocracy? Jared Kushner is not a govt official. He’s just the son in law of Trump. Where are the experts? Where are the professionals appointed and confirmed? What a disgrace .

it's insane they do this bend-over-backwards "critics say it raises questions" shit when the actual law just says "its illegal to put living people on currency"
The U.S. Mint releases video showing the manufacturing process for $1 coins featuring President Trump, issued to mark the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026. Critics have raised questions about the design's legality.
We're deep into Mad King territory here and yet there will still be people on the Sunday shows today pretending that the president isn't a mentally deranged despot
“Trump on Sunday said in a post on Truth Social that NBC's Kristen Welker will be reported to the FCC for ‘rebuke or punishment’, after he said she reported the Republican President had mixed results in his endorsement of candidates.”
I remember when this would be unthinkable
I’m telling you - the default position of this administration is fear. Fear of questions, fear of transparency, fear of being found out, and fear of the American people.
The 65 billion barrel number is a red herring and will have little relevance to any actual deals—the real relevant details of which are still almost entirely unknown.
It’s just a classic big number that Trump was sure to jump all over and will repeat ad nauseam going forward.
Gas is over $4.
Diesel is over $5.
Groceries are ridiculous.
Farmers are going bankrupt.
Factories are shutting down.
Businesses are not building new factories.
You're renaming a freaking lake?
The supine Supreme Court majority again abets Trump’s efforts to interfere with the upcoming midterm election.
Another precedent-breaking validation of right-wing attacks on equal access to the ballot.
Such is the undeniable legacy of the Roberts Court.

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.
He sends love & heaps praise on his buddies in N. Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia & China, then declares a trade war on our lifelong friends & neighbors, Canada. 🇨🇦
Up is Down & Down is Up in the Bizarro MAGAverse! 🤪

“Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of N Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with S Korea.”
This man is failing to defend the United States. This man is a traitor. This man should be removed.
I was thinking the other day how those not in DC (I'm not) aren't hit as clearly with how Trump has turned the White House grounds into something between construction site and waste dump. Genuinely upsetting. Far from the worst thing he's done but among the most tangible and graphic.
This is not the picture of a man at peace.
I promise you, someday soon, if not already, he will be consumed with regret.
RFK jr, Kash Patel, and now Blanche.
History will vomit these people out of our memory, and enablers like Bill Cassidy
I'm sure if Obama had gotten us into a costly quagmire of a war and then spent all his time posting cartoons about how cool he was, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all.
