Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

[If I may be permitted to belabor the obvious Obama's joke lands best if you know what a Cheesecake Factory looks like! It's not a swipe at people who enjoy eating there. I enjoy visiting Vegas, it doesn't mean I think it would be good if the White House looked like the floor of the Cosmopolitan]

It’s really not that hard to say this!

Greg Abbott says Gina Hinojosa, gubernatorial candidate in Texas, is for Sharia law. She’s Catholic. Not the first time we’ve seen this. A month ago we covered Lance Wallnau saying Talarico is Al-Qaeda.

If TV can air Christmas ads with reindeer and lights and jingle bells in October, I should be able to go as Santa for Halloween​

First and foremost Samuel Sey does not deserve this treatment and it is abhorrent. Secondly, the ones cheering this on are probably the ones who turned him and their racism is on full display and despicable. Finally this should be a wake up call- It. Does. Not. Matter. How. Much. Water. You. Carry.

"big guys, great asses, tears in their eyes "sir...sir" they pleaded "please take this cognitive test again sir" and what am i going to do refuse have u seen their asses"

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Do you know why the cops keep pulling me over and giving me a breathalyzer after I have six drinks at the bar and swerve into oncoming traffic? Because I keep crushing the test, that’s why.

I hope Democrats are ready to blow up the system with campaign finance and transparency reforms. Trust is already at an all-time low. We don't get out of this mess without rebuilding trust.

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

Shot: Chaser:

“I should only pay taxes for things I use,” is the attitude of someone who doesn’t care about bettering society. I don’t have kids. I still want my taxes to go to schools because what happens when it doesn’t? *waves around blithely* This crap.

“I should only pay taxes for things I use” is a fun precept to adopt after you’ve stopped using services that were funded by the full tax base — you would have needed to pay much much more when your kids were in school if seniors hadn’t been pitching in with property taxes back then!

Should make “I wanted AI but all I got were these language models” t-shirts.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

no kings includes billionaires who think they’re kings

I love Bouie's point here. We as a people are so racked by anger and conflict. But literally nothing gets better when we choose to respond to legitimate threats with screams. Everything gets better when we see our opponents as equal humans with dignity - even when they refuse to see others that way.

the second el-sayed chose to treat tommy as an equal and not a nuisance, tommy was cooked

it seems to shock the New Zealand government that Peter Jackson, Taika Waititi, and the Conchords etc all emerged from the same city in the same span, which coincidentally is when Wellington rent was dirt-cheap and there were heaps of empty industrial buildings around

Jesus loves you Donald Trump doesn't

The administration wants to deport a member of Congress. Trump and his team aren't just racists and unprecedented vengeful fascists who don't tolerate First Amendment dissent -- they are actively enemies of the state.

Trump and Musk don't need to see the inside of a US prison. They are war criminals who need to see the Hague.

Just following orders

It's not that niche, but every western shot in Monument Valley but claiming to be in Texas cheeses me off. I mean I can sometimes love John Ford and all, but dammit.

Folks in DC have seen the shift in the National Guard occupation - @duffomatic.bsky.social has found the ONLY mention of this change in the press

😐😐😐😐

Jon Ossoff grew up among Holocaust survivors. Maybe he knows juuuust a little bit more about what Nazis look and sound like than David Brooks. David, what we do here in this country is not tell Jewish folks to shut up when they're standing up to neo-Nazis.

For almost 2 years now, DHS has repeatedly told me they're not detaining U.S. citizens It's simply not true So @propublica.org published the receipts: a searchable database of the 500+ citizens detained by immigration agents during this Trump administration projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

No one has more contempt for Donald Trump's voters than Donald Trump.

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

Murder is wrong. It was wrong when Christa Pike did it. It was wrong when Tennessee tried to do it. It was wrong Nidal Hasan did it. It is wrong when Pete Hegseth does it. It was wrong when Hamas did it on October 7. It is wrong when Netenyahu does it. Murder is wrong.

This is clearly not acceptable
