Donald Trump is the kind of dull, lazy, and uninventive clod who doesn’t even change his tie to attend his own 1920s costume party.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Tucker Carlson's friendly interview with a Holocaust denier raises new questions about Zohran Mamdani's commitment to fighting antisemitism.

You know what evil looks like? The orange felon hosting a Great Gatsby themed gala at his trashy private club yesterday whilst trying to end SNAP benefits and healthcare subsidies from tens of millions of Americans. Giving a convicted criminal full power was a horrible idea.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people"
portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

An easy way to explain to anyone (particularly those who vote for Trump) who's confused about who's to blame for SNAP benefits expiring, people furloughed from jobs, programs shut down, is this:

If Donald Trump weren't president, none of this would be happening

When did it become OK to despise poor people? What sort of America does the GOP really want? An autocracy overseeing mass starvation?

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

case in point

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Wild how you never see this stuff in mainstream/legacy media

Everyone in this pic is on something:

Are JD Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson engaged in a "Lie-Off," where they must compete to see who can tell the most shameless lies the most relentlessly? If so, it's very competitive.

I hope there’s a hell so everyone involved with this can burn in it—*especially* the lawyers.

“If you think you love freedom, but don’t think it should apply to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.”

I spent the entire Biden presidency warning idiotic establishment Senate Dems and Biden who opposed getting rid of the filibuster that Trump and the GOP would come back to power and do it themselves. I hate to say I told you so but… I fucking told you so.

Just when I think Pete Hegseth is the worst person in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem says something, and I change my mind, then Pam Bondi says something, then JD Vance says something, then Stephen Miller says something, but then Donald Trump says something. Contest over.

Slap this quote on the side of Air Force One, the White House, your front lawn, everywhere. We should hear this on every media outlet and echoing through the streets.

A majority of Americans are seriously underreacting to what is happening in this country.

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

I don't feel bad for Usha Vance or Melania Trump.

Neither should you.

They know EXACTLY what they're doing.

Complicit every single step of the way. They chose this. They participate in it to this day. They're all in.

“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

--Stephen Miller speaking to Memphis police earlier this month.

Kristi Noem is lying.
