Abdul punches back and doesn't take shit. He isn't a weak centrist nothing. People want fighters.

This whole Eisenhower globe thing really smacks. And what a perfect illustration of the hubris and incompetence on display.

This day isn’t coming soon enough. Everything should be restored back to its original dignity and beauty.

A strong woman standing up for another strong woman in the face of an amoral man is a wonderful sight.

Our governor is a good man.

look I have four kids and I'd probably take a job that would give me some quiet time too

He is just the best.

Needed sanity against the Haidt moral panic: "Blaming screens is a convenient way to avoid harder, deeper issues: inadequate mental health care and a system that chronically underfunds treatment." I’m a Child Psychiatrist. Screens Are Not the Problem. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/o...

I haven’t been this optimistic about any politician in years. Speak the truth my man.

Ruffalo: Keep the bastards away from our most vulnerable people, our beloved, beloved immigrants. Because if you ain’t Native American, you’re an immigrant, a beautiful immigrant.

Markwayne Mullin is clutching a stress ball while answering questions from reporters

🚨Exclusive🚨: I have exculpatory evidence in what is easily the dumbest congressional oversight episode of the year...maybe the decade. I was at the Iowa v. MD game & just looked at my pics & sure enough, someone who looks like Jack Smith is sitting in Sec 109, Row 1. Complete & total vindication!

I have one house.

If you ever feel the need to make people laugh but can't think of a good joke, just say the words "Senator Eric Schmitt"

Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest vocalists and performers of our times, was born on this day 80 years ago. He died aged 45. AIDS not only took our friends and lovers, it robbed us of a generation of artists and the beautiful, extraordinary work they may otherwise have given us.

Happy birthday Freddie Mercury. He would have turned 80 today.

If you’re just waking up: the U.S. Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as attorney general at around 4:30am ET in a 50–49 vote.

As a mom with a ten year old who still occasionally sleeps with Owl, this is a level of cruelty beyond description. What an absolute ass.

Gov. Beshear makes a good point. 🎯

The greatest video of all time.

Democratic Governor @AndyBeshearKY has HAD IT.🔥

Beshear: "There's an argument that August 3 is a date where I could not later call a special. Those that are really pushing this are under the impression a Dem might be able to win. It's been since '92 that we had a Dem senator in KY ... not having McConnell show up isn't necessarily a bad thing"

This is probably true for most conservatives; they have no idea what DEI actually is but are adamant it's a bad thing.

Private equity is buying America's hospitals and nursing homes. The playbook: pile on debt, sell the building, cut staff. The result, one landmark study found: patient deaths up about 11%. #news #information #privateequity

*dies from the irony*

I didn’t think I could get this exhausted and wiped out watching something from my couch and we still have 30 minutes and stoppage time

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

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.

In case you wonder if Comer is no longer a crazy person.

Will not stop thinking about the Michael movie today, turns out.

Dear god, give Jaafar Jackson all of the awards. All of them. Then invent some new ones and give him those too.

Time to post more here and not wallow in the grotesque distortion of this nation since Obama. Yesterday was a wake up call. We are still here. We are still HERE. WE are STILL here.

One of my favorite moments of the day. If you missed it, take a moment… 🤎 John Legend and Common performing “Glory.”

Michelle Obama for president

Ossoff on Trump calling him "Os(jerk!)off" -- "I didn't think it was his best work as far as nicknames go. But more to the point, he is increasingly unstable. And I think it flows the fact that he is globally humiliated from this failed war."

Powerful truth from Michelle Obama that we must never forget: Strong men don't need to put down women to feel powerful. Real strength lifts others up. Donald Trump doesn’t show strength; he shows us what weakness looks like.

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

I'm hoping the Knicks game ends with a score of 86-47

@atrupar.com deserves a special place in heaven for saving us the hardest parts of staying informed without vomiting.

Pathetic. Trump is privately demanding his advisers find a way to reach a deal with Iran that TV commentators will compare favorably to Obama's 2015 deal, per the Atlantic. On the pod, @emilyhorne.bsky.social is good on how this perfectly captures why we're stuck: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

“What would have to happen for me to concede that the United States is beyond hope?”

He makes a very valid point.
