He’s not exaggerating. Finished it in less than a week. Absolutely the most engrossing thing I’ve read this year. Fantastic character work. Fantastic mood for spooky season. Knocked my socks off.

Let's leave aside the "their own people" remark (this president is only governing people he considers his own rather than representing all of the country he has responsibility over).

No, there is not. This is one of the easiest amendments in the constitution to parse. "No person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice..."

This isn't Shakespeare where we can argue multiple meanings of ambiguous language. The intent of the authors is crystal clear.

Why would someone pay $20k for a robot controlled by a human in a remote location to do things more slowly and clumsily when the median wage for a maid or housekeeper is $33k per year, which is typically spread across 10-20 households?

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

At best, Kavanaugh is a moron who can't see the plain logical consequences of actions. At worst, he knew stuff like this would be the outcome and just doesn't care.

A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report. Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

The Mamdani equivalent of wearing a tan suit to work, I guess. A sign of how scandal free these politicians were/are. Forces the GOP to invent ridiculous things for any kind of dirt whatsoever.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

A running team from Chicago reported that ICE/CBP GOONS in full tactical gear forcibly removed a 67-year-old US citizen from his car, resulting in the breaking of six ribs and internal bleeding.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Jesus Christ man does no one have the spine to withstand this whiny ass baby's temper tantrums? Once you decide on a strategy like this, you commit. It was smart and effective - otherwise he wouldn't have immediately started crying about it.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Doug Ford on 10/14/25: Let's take Ronald Reagan's words and let's blast it to the American people. And our first launch is going to be on every major network...we're going to launch a $75 million ad, and we're going to repeat that message to every Republican district right across the entire country.

He’s still short $230 million, so he tells DOJ to pay him that amount.

He said he’d donate it to charity. The charity is the ballroom he’s building for himself.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years...

Great stuff from some young readers in Iowa with lessons for us all! Start where you are, build your community, keep pushing on policy, & have fun! And for any grown-ups in the room, sometimes the best action you can take is supporting the action of the young people in your community
