I write my columns sitting in a New Haven café, eating waffles and lattés served by comely young immmigrant waitresses. Here’s how women ruined my workplace.

Elon Musk, an uncharismatic swindler, says Zohran Mamdani is a charismatic swindler.

Jake looks sad. "I miss Biden."

The Democrats have learned their lesson.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

Chuck, when you've lost Yglesias.....

The winner of the Democratic cave-in on the government shutdown: Governor Ron DeSantis

Interesting Times with Ross Douthat: Did Women Ruin the Workplace?

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

Want to know why Dems caved like the feckless incompetents that they are? THE FILIBUSTER. It's all about protecting the filibuster, which Republicans threatened to nuke. But at this point, what's the point in preserving it, if the mere threat of it makes enough of them give Trump what he wants.

He's got a few of his hot Epstein videos stashed in the drawers.

Not much in his head to examine, it resembles Al Capone's vault.

At night now, Jake repairs to his basement where he has hundreds of remaindered copies of his Biden book stacked the length of the floor. He sits down and longingly caresses a few dusty copies in the stack and stares into space.

If this happens I'm out of the Democratic Party. That's it. Finis. Enjoy being the Duma.

remember what happened to him

after he threatened in July to block the money for the stadium if they didn't change the name of the team back to the racist 'Redskins'. They're gonna name the stadium for him after that??

“I Don’t Feel Safe”: Black Memphis Residents Report Harassment by Trump’s Police Task Force A pastor was pulled over for looking lost. A 72-year-old was marched out in his bathrobe due to mistaken identity. Memphis’ mayor welcomed the federal law enforcement surge, but some residents say the...

Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID.

He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for.

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

props for showing the complete lyric sheet

Thank God it wasn't an automatic sub.

Because he was fired for cause he does not receive unemployment benefits. He has set up a GoFundMe account. www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

She seems often to comment on her own tweets, or comment on other comments to her tweets, sometimes almost ironically. So is this whole crazy pants act a routine??

She's probably sending cards to POTUS with recipes for healthy and nutritious meals that he should eat. (and exercise routines)

On the morning of November 3rd, day three of no SNAP, Goodwin put her son in the car and drove twenty-five minutes to the West Houston Assistance Ministries, a nonprofit social-services organization, which was hosting a special food-distribution event for SNAP recipients. When she arrived, at around 9 A.M., a line of cars snaked down the block, and volunteers in neon vests directed traffic. Nationwide, fourteen per cent of households are considered food-insecure. In Harris County, which comprises Houston, the figure is close to forty per cent. WHAM had seen a notable uptick in need since the shutdown began, on October 1st. “We’ve been focussed on food, but we’ve also seen an increase in evictions—it’s a crisis on top of a crisis,” Neysa Gavion, a social worker and a senior case manager at WHAM, told me. “And the interesting thing is, while we’ve always had people at the poverty line or below, this is the middle class.” Recently, the organization had provided assistance to an I.R.S. employee and single mother who was days from being evicted. “People that weren’t impacted before are being impacted now,” Gavion said. A retired woman waiting in line told me that she had contemplated growing her own food. “I got a little balcony. Maybe I can grow some beans?” she said.

Is this what MAGA voted for? (from the New Yorker)

It must be under new management

This is how I find out Kevin Kruse is not performing at my kids 8th birthday party?

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.
