Trump struggles with Ilhan Omar's name. "Remember how Melania's name was Melanija Knavs, then Melania Knauss when she started modeling? Then it became Melania Trump when you got married? Which doesn't mean you're her brother, right? And if/when you divorce, it might be Melania Knauss again, right?"

Shapeshifting shillbilly JD Vance says Republicans need to stop "whining" about an ad accusing Ohio Democratic candidate Amy Acton of lying about being raped by her stepfather when she was 12. The protect-pedophiles plank in the GOP platform is non-negotiable.

From Democrats on House Judiciary Committee: "the actual evidence we have seen—as shared in the accounts and stories of 11 women ... —indicates that Trump abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women alongside, and in coordination with, the most infamous sex trafficker in history."

Trump can't escape his old pal. "The Houthis have recently homed in on a particular set of revelations to try to undermine Saudi Arabia’s leaders — namely, reports showing that associates of the Saudi royal court sent tapestries that had draped the holiest site in Islam to Epstein’s private island."

Sure enough, my neighbor said he got a prescription refilled today and the cashier gave him money equal to 7 times the cost of the drug. He said he's adding it to the checks he got from Trump for DOGE savings and tariff rebates. Did I mention my neighbor was getting drugs to control his delusions?

Republican Jeff van Drew claims he didn't vote to cut Medicaid. He voted for the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' and its 12% cut to Medicaid. He says he didn't vote to approve the Iran War. He voted six times to not curb Trump's war powers. New Jersey's Second, you know what to do. Elect Zack Mullock.

The PAC that made this BS failed to note how white people solved the problem the last time they were afraid to show their white faces -- they put on Klan hoods.

Lefty country singer Bryan Andrews: Bait the hook, keep it tight / Golly gee, we got a bite / They sure got us fightin' while they look the other way / Should we stop to ask each other 'Who the f--k are they / Screamin' left, left / Left right left / Left, left / Left right left

Luke Nickle with a translated North Korean song that sounds a hell of a lot like a MAGA tribute to Trump.

Elon is having a rough couple of days, between this and Hitler's Eagle's Nest burning down ...

Another from lefty country singer Bryan Andrews: If what I am ain’t what you heard/ Please don’t get my backwoods backwards/ I vote the same color as my collar/'Cause I know it ain’t the immigrant stealin' my dollar/It’s the billionaire who profits on the bombs goin' overseas

Trump says El-Sayed is "a fake doctor" and "if he were using those credentials as a Republican, he would have been run out of the country by now." El-Sayed's MD is from Columbia, his doctorate from Oxford. Trump, meanwhile, thinks the Continental Army took over the airports during Revolutionary War.

Both a sick person and healthy person need a strong, affordable health care system. But that's not as pithy. Or part of the Republican agenda.

Kate Nash's "Freedom of Me" - I don't want you to imagine if it was your kid You should have empathy for a stranger I don't want you to imagine if it was your kid You should have empathy for a stranger

Republican Jeff Crank wants to pretend he didn't try to block release of the Epstein files prior to this vote. Colorado's Fifth, you know what to do.

Interesting new song from David Byrne, with lyrics based on Elon Musk's own words.

An actual post by a White House account, attacking a reporter and calling him a "Mongoloid Moron."

Trump threatens to withhold compensation to victims of contaminated water at Camp Lejeune if North Carolina backs Democrats in the midterms. MAGA veterans, are you OK with this?

Hmm. It's almost as if Trump is indebted to Putin and rushing to give Russia a victory in Ukraine before Democrats take the House and Senate in the midterms and impeach him early next year. But surely a U.S. president would not do that, right, Republicans? Right, MAGA?

NYT reports Trump called Musk to ask him to restore full Starshield service to Ukraine. This, after previous reports they'd colluded to throttle speeds that slowed Ukraine's use of drones for defense/attacks. Republicans, why are these two harming a democratic nation to aid an authoritarian one?

Rhiannon Giddens, "Hope is the Thing with Feathers," based on Emily Dickinson's poetry. Giddens is worth seeing in concert if you ever have the opportunity. Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all It never stop at all

Trump and his goosestepping DOJ think Alaskan Republicans might vote for the wrong Dan Sullivan in the Senate race. Remember, it's the GOP that incessantly complains about supposedly "low-information voters" supporting Democrats. Alaskans, you know what to do - elect Mary Peltola.

Dmitriev is an official Putin envoy. What have you done, Republicans? What have you done?

OK. But what are his thoughts on Sen. Jon Husted?

“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed… and we will deserve it.” - Lindsey Graham, 2016 Ten years overdue, but it's happening.

This one from Austin Archer packs the truth. "When you say you’re not the same Just adds more fuel to the flame You’re the reason why this Song is mandatory ... Til we all stand clearly firm Against this evil in our blood It’s all the men”

New from Neil Young: "Soon I Might Be Going" - The answer to our questions is lingering in the mist And the revolution's come like a fighter with a fist

Cancun Cruz takes a loss. Again.

Yeah, right, Trump: How dare Zelensky and Ukrainians want an invading army to withdraw with nothing? What a shameful stance for any U.S. president.

But he wouldn't be a bona fide Republican these days if he didn't take the side of a pedophile, would he?

Jesse Welles, "Rise and Shine." hey! rise and shine you get yours, i'll get mine catch a falling nation put it in your pocket now hey! rise and shine you get yours, i'll get mine guess we're goin' down now see ya at the bottom everybody's got dreams smoke 'em if you got 'em

Discovery could be interesting.

Putin's birthday was Oct. 7, but Trump celebrates it all year, of course.

New from Mon Rovia, "Jester in the Bowl" - And the worlds turned carnival And I’m the jester in the bowl Singing Waiting for someone to set me free And wars have come And still they come Mansion men taking what they want But there’s no man Can steal our dreaming

From Democrats on House Judiciary Committee: "the actual evidence we have seen—as shared in the accounts and stories of 11 women ... —indicates that Trump abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women alongside, and in coordination with, the most infamous sex trafficker in history."

I've never understood events like this, including Blue Angel air shows. The military isn't here to entertain us. It exists to protect us.

Incredible story about corruption and foreign influence at the Alaska LNG project. Bonus content not included here is that Alaska LNG 75% owner glenfarne group hired one of the Cornell rapists and responded to public pressure by turning linkedin comments off btw

Chasing Abbey's "Greedy Pigs" - So they drink the greed like devil's porter Sell their soul to fuel the slaughter Money margins price of gold Greedy pigs are the first to go

From the archives, a speech that holds up 1 1/2 years later. “Washington has become the court of Nero: an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service.” The buffoon on ketamine, with Nero's help, is now aiding Russia against Ukraine.

And down THIS corridor of our hyper-surreal nightmare, we see Karl Rove described as a veritable liberal by the Republican president of the United States. Or by Natalie Harp, who sometimes wields more power. (She was 9 when Turd Blossom put Dubya in the White House, btw.)
