After Volatile Summer, Trump’s Approval Remains Low but Stable, Poll Finds

perhaps instead of cowering under a blanket labeled "health care," democrats should respond and advance on the issues that move people. this, of course, would require a foundation of conviction and principle, which may be asking too much of the party's leadership and strategists.

Bombing my big stand-up special in front of a totally silent room of generals. "What else, what else. Bagram Air Force Base, we're going to do that again, okay? And we're going to do it the right way: through specific types of tattoos, and haircuts."

Surely some countries on earth have enough self-respect left to start talking about moving the UN from the US?

The Mass delegation really oafed this one β€” out here in the west, no surprise @neal.house.gov voted yes, but even @repmcgovern.bsky.social as well?

Q&A: Jeromie Whalen, the teacher running against 36-year incumbent Richard Neal Whalen has launched the latest campaign against Springfield’s influential congressman. The Shoestring asked him about his platform, his chances, and his thoughts on the Democratic Party.

TV's Impious Puppets: On Kremlin's Hit List? (Published 2000)

I'm old enough to remember when Russian t.v. shows could make fun of their leaders

This is it.

Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans.

Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Pretty much every mass shooting, particularly ones involving kids, people try to dig for some hidden motive, message, or ideology in a cesspool of edgelord internet shit. But the vast majority of the times, there just isn’t one.

Day three of the media pretending that Charlie Kirk believed in free speech and failing to note that his signature political project was the creation of McCarthyite watchlists of college professors to harass out of their jobs and out of society.
