Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

We've seen it all before. Tyrants don't like to be laughed at. A convicted criminal gets elected and a humorist gets purged. Gee what a surprise.

If you’re distressed by the death toll in Texas, think how many more deaths, especially those of children, are yet to come. The rejection of science, the vilification of public service and the vandalization of the common purpose and action we call government guarantees a lot of needless tragedy.

If you think Superman is woke now, you should check out how he single-handedly - in real life - killed KKK recruiting in the northern states in the 1940's with the Superman Radio Series The Clan of the Fiery Cross. www.supermanhomepage.com/radio/radio....

So the Epstein files were on Bondi’s desk… and also there are no Epstein files… and also Obama and Hillary created them? Do we have that right?

"I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead."
Tom Stoppard, born on this day in 1937

“But are there not many fascists in your country?"
"There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the times comes.”

The Bloated Billionaire Bill is class warfare The MAGA GOP's wet dream is to screw the average American

If only he had a way to vote in accordance with his stated beliefs!

I mean, look, if Mamdani actually had invented time travel, went back in time and invented Twitter so it existed six years before it was created, to tweet about something that happened when he was 9 yeas old, with a picture of him at age 33, well... then maybe it's something to talk about...

The drunk ape at DOD decreed yesterday: "President Trump directed the most complex and secretive military operation in history, and it was a resounding success."

Gee I dunno, wasn't Gen. Eisenhower's D-Day a tad more complex and successful? Or am I just guilty of using a fact?

Toddler Don has a new toy called war Remember when the fraud campaigned as the promiser of peace?

My new piece, on the dire topic du jour.

Warlord Trump is way over his head. If you dumped him in a kiddie pool with a snorkel, he’d still drown.

Morally bankrupt MAGA is cool with killing Democrats because that's how fascists roll The Minnesota assassin is a pro-Trump right-wing extremist. What a shock.

Stinky has been pushing for violence since Day One ...

It’s great that the fascist was humiliated by millions of Americans who signaled their contempt nationwide. But I’d love to know whether many, if any, of the 77 million who inexplicably voted for him woke the hell up and joined the protests. That seems like an important, albeit unobtainable, stat.

Fight the Empire.

and help ice the peeps away…” 🎼🪖

(I know, it ain’t their fault. It’s just the fascist degrading another hallowed U.S. institution.)

It’s amazing how that little lickspittle can talk with so much of Trump’s shoe polish in his mouth.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

57 years ago today:
I turned on the radio to find out who won California’s Dem presidential primary.
The announcer said, “Senator Robert F. Kennedy is being operated on for the removal of a bullet in his brain.”
Not knowing how to process anxiety, I ate an entire container of malted milk balls.
