A real puzzler, that.

Red Trump-style graphic with images of Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo. At the top it says, "I'm going to pick [Cuomo]." - Donald Trump, 60 Minutes Interview, 11-2-25 Then beneath it TRUMP ENDORSES CUOMO

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

It’s not a mistake when you have no process.

Trump just letting someone else make the decisions and then signing off while claiming to have no knowledge of it sounds suspiciously similar to what he’s been accusing Biden of doing with that whole “auto-pen” BS.

Straight from the “Accuse others of what you yourself are doing” playbook.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

I’m gonna try this trick the next time a judge—check that, TWO judges—rule I *must* do something.

“You know what, guys? Yeah, nah - I don’t feel like complying. What are you gonna do about it?"

I’m sure they’d just let me be on my merry way (like they sadly do when Trump pulls the same stunt).

Damn. I read that graf and wonder just how badly was Kevin Roberts abused as a child? What possibly happened in his life that turned him into such a society-hating douche... as if someone had shoved Lee Atwater up Stephen Miller's ass and raised them in a lead-paint factory?

He’s damaged, that one.

I’ll bet she’s seen 100x more classified files than John Bolton has.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

Which is another reason why flight operations can / should get scaled back and there are increased cancellations as a result.

Feels a bit like the circular investment scheme that’s been fueling the whole “AI” jenga tower.

Musk needs to stop airing his personal fantasies in public.

Yep. And then-speaker Boehner’s *other* favorite catchphrase during that era was “Businesses Hate Uncertainty”.

How do you reckon they like things now, Johnny?

And now, for something completely unsurprising to anyone who has to buy stuff...

Unless that bigger chain might still want to get approval from Trump to buy another big chain down the road.

It’s kinda like the groups now claiming racial discrimination against White folks so they can kill the rest of the VRA so those same White folks can continue to gerrymander Blacks out of proper representation.

The alt-text is perfect.

“Consulting services"

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, that euphemism keeps walking into mine.

lol wtf bengals

Among the many amazing things about Adams pleading his case here is that he openly supports and now is asking for help from… people who cancelled funding for cancer research.

The auto-reply from Schumer should be “Thank you for your recent correspondence. While we normally don’t negotiate with terrorists, we’re not negotiating with *anyone* right now because there’s no one to negotiate with.”

T’was a damn nice day for a bike ride. Sunny, no wind, just slightly cool, and all the people with pickup trucks are home watching football.

Heh - she’d get duct-taped to that so-called “Southmost Point” buoy within the first week :)

And the deceased would probably be buried—by other detainees—in mass graves out back.
