Noem rejects Pritzker request to pause ICE operations for Halloween Pritzker's Halloween request, first obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, came four days after ICE agents fired tear gas in the Old Irving Park neighborhood as families and children walked to a Halloween...

Remembering how one of the amusing conceits of the BUFFY television series was that Halloween was when all the soulless demons and vampires actually took the night off.

So if the policy is supposedly that we’re catching all the child rapists and sending them to countries they were never from, at what point do we start deporting these evangelical leaders, like former Trump advisor Robert Morris, to the Darien Gap?

A reporter will ask a conservative politician why they were caught holding a bloody knife near a murder scene and they will say “nah-ah, that’s a gotcha question.”

And then they turn around and yell ZOHRAN MAMDANI’S AUNT IS NOT HIS PARENT’S SISTER!

Have felt oddly compelled of late to watch clips from HELL’S KITCHEN, a show I never watched once while it aired, and I think it’s because I’m finding it cathartic to watch Gordon Ramsay scream obscenities at people and hold them accountable when they’re so clearly fucking things up.

Being a guy who is interested in both modern cinema and presidential history means that I have an odd, unexplainable feeling about the concurrent careers of two actresses named Mikey Madison and Maika Monroe.

We need to convince Trump that he doesn’t want to be king or dictator, but pharaoh.

Then, when he dies, all of his servants should be entombed with him.

"You thought that patriotic video of our heroic President Trump was of him showering Americans with feces? That was the finest of chocolate mousse, served with benevolence and his unerring gourmet taste. Of course you woke communists don't know the difference."

Hey, I can be Press Secretary too!

Every time Karoline Leavitt goes to a restaurant, she should be brought something she didn’t order.

When she complains, she should be told “oh, we assumed you were lying,” before turning briskly and walking away.

What has become evident is that if an American city ever actually were attacked by hordes of violent gangsters, ICE are not by any means prepared — tactically, mentally, or physically — to handle them.

If your city is invaded by schoolchildren, journalists, and clergy, though? LOOK OUT.

It’s impossible not to see the Nobel Committee’s selection of a pro-democracy, Venezuelan woman for the Peace Prize as a direct “Fuck Off, Donald.”

Good.

What’s the over-under on how many weeks it takes before Trump learns penicillin began as mold, claims “nobody knew this before,” and starts to insist that it be banned for medical use?

The Chicago River just got clean enough for swimmers to use it and now they’re polluting it with the filth.

Saying you feel “vulnerable” on a stopped escalator in one of the most heavily guarded buildings in New York only makes it seem even less likely that you felt in danger the day you were almost assassinated.

Not saying. Just saying.

GOP: “Stop calling us Nazis!”

ALSO GOP: “Exterminate the homeless, lock up the transgendered, send undesirables to concentration camps, and criminalize dissent! All of which will be enforced by our secret police!”

"Charlie Kirk was a peaceful Christian man who believed we should have spirited debate with our political opponents. To honor him, I require that we commit widespread bloody violence against the evil, inhuman leftists."

What I believe:

It’s possible to manifest hate in your heart and still be a good person.

It’s not possible to *hold* hate in your heart and remain a good person.

And regardless, the hate itself will never make you a good person.

"Nineteen Eighty-Four," by George Orwell.

Our government now routinely does things that would make us root for Jason Statham to break every neck in the room.

American Media: “Far-right Media Figure Ruffles Feathers”

Australian Media:

So for the sake of stylistic consistency we should go back to every relevant chyron and revise them to read “Heterosexual white man kills X, wounds Y.”

Right?

Or is that story just too “dog bites man” now?

Enjoyable editorial comment from THE ATHLETIC today on the recent decision to move the World Cup draw and the relationship between FIFA president Infantino and Trump.

Dammit!

Dammit, LFC, giving up a two-goal lead and sending on an impact sub to win it at the death is NOT A SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY and also not great for my heart.

Malörtov Cocktails!

To be clear: The Trump cabal plans to exile to Uganda a man who they previously renditioned to El Salvador's most brutal prison before he faced any charges in court...

...after transferring the president's known associate, a convicted sex trafficker, to a more comfortable prison.

Why do you need to be able to run an obstacle course if all you’re doing is apprehending children at courthouses?

(Seriously, I was expecting something much more radical considering the uproar.)

Against my better judgment I looked at the new Cracker Barrel logo and it instantly turned me into a trans athlete who thinks slavery was evil.

Remember: The goons bursting into the women’s bathroom to accost a woman have also been warning you that transwomen existing in similar spaces represent a mortal threat to others.
