He already let loose with the r-word for Tim Walz. Look, I love poking fun at Minnesota as much as the next cheesehead, but Jesus Hotdish Christ!

One of our cats is such a fan, she makes biscuits and drools when I rub her belly. The other grabs my hand and starts to groom it in a way that suggests nibbling will be the next step.

The vote wouldn’t have been so lopsided if it had come earlier. GOP cowards finally became slightly more afraid of voters than of Trump.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Given the current occupant of the WH, aren’t we already in the Year(s) of the Depend Adult Undergarment?

I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021.

The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

The largest protests in US history being completely peaceful demonstrate pretty clearly who the violent agitators are

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one.

That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

I’m watching Succession right now, and it’s as if every single Roy family member’s id has been concentrated in one person. But, like, none of the cunning.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧡 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Pulling Stefanik nom is a sign of GOP panic. If they think her R+20 district would be in play were she to leave, they realize they are in deep political peril re: 2026. As they are.
