Onetime surveyor & purveyor of NYC’s repertory film scene turned resistance fighter to this ongoing threat to our American democracy. Fuck MAGA forever. Also, I like breakfast food.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.

He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

People ask why Trump is a bad President.
It’s simple: because he’s a bad person.

ROGAN: “It’s overwhelming me. Too much fucking madness. We’re about to go to war with Iran. What are these files? How far does this go? What is happening?”

Wait til joe rogan finds out he helped get Trump elected 🤷🏼

Picking Off The Post After The Washington Post’s retreat from local news and sports, rival outlets are racing to fill the void, scooping up displaced talent and capitalizing on the opportunity.

So, it's pretty clear MAGA and the Trump Administration are just a big Cosplay Convention for losers and dorks who couldn't get girls in high school and are trying to convince the world they are alpha men.

They are failing.

All Desis know a Kash Patel growing up.

A dorky kid with massive self-esteem issues, super insecure, who desperately wanted to date white girls who kept rejecting him.

Desi Children, don't be a Kash Patel.

“Les Wexner met Jeffrey Epstein in 1986. Epstein became a key financial advisor for Wexner in 1987. In 1991, Wexner, then a billionaire, handed over his power of attorney to Epstein. Dwell on this.” @drjackbrown.bsky.social

Trump spent the last 8 months saying that "the nuclear threat of Iran was totally obliterated" by Operation Midnight Hammer which "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come."

Were they lying then or are they lying now?

UPDATE — after officials said it was just a rumor in the face of massive backlash, WILSON COUNTY’s mayor confirms ICE is considering a 16000 person “MEGA CENTER” in Lebanon, TN 🤔

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

RIP Tom Noonan, a friend for 18 years. Often typecast as villains, he was an actor's actor, a unique playwright & filmmaker, a gifted composer, and a pianist with a sweet voice. My kids & I used to go to his tiny apartment for dinner (pizza). We'd have a few drinks & he'd start to play. Magic.

Ben Smith: I don’t know if Stephen Miller resigns before the midterms, resigns after the midterms, or sticks around. But this feels like that moment when a president puts a lot of confidence in one adviser to steer national policy in a direction that turns out to be politically disastrous.

Voting: A Right, Not A Privilege, For Now Republicans want to change that with the SAVE Act

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue.

And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
