That whole thing about how The Art of War mostly just says stuff like "be sure to feed your soldiers"

Okay, Mamdani technically turned 34 a couple weeks ago, but it says a lot that Republicans are scared of a 33 yr old brown-skinned socialist wanting to make life better for those who have the least. The hypocrisy is ripe with this one.

another deranged Trump rant about how Seth Meyers sucks and NBC should cancel him

another deranged Trump rant about how Seth Meyers sucks and NBC should cancel him

Seth Meyers has been nominated for an Emmy every year since 2008. Trump was nominated twice and lost both times. It's an open secret that he's bitter about the Emmy snub. But he does lead Meyers in one category: he's won two Razzie Awards. Well done, Mr. President!

In the midst of a government shutdown, as masked ICE agents roam America’s cities with impunity, with lines at food banks across the country growing, and farmers at risk as America bails out Argentina instead…

Donald Trump threw a Roaring 20s/Great Gatsby themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago.

Between this and the terrorism against Latinos who are mainly Catholic, the US has become the leading persecutor of Christians.

Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.

Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

Evanston, IL - IL-9 Congressional Candidates State Senator Laura Fine, State Senator Mike Simmons, State Representative Hoan Huynh, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss, Skokie School Board Member Bushra Amiwala, Phil Andrews, and Sam Polan released a joint statement condemning the federal indictments of six people, including candidates, local officials, and activists. The leaders called the charges "an appalling abuse of power" and a "direct attack on the freedoms that define this country."
"We unequivocally condemn the partisan and unethical indictments of the Broadview protestors at the direction of Donald Trump's weaponized Justice Department.
This is what happens in dictatorships and failed states; we should never accept it here. In exercising their right to protest, these individuals were participating in the most American of traditions - and one that is more necessary and urgent every day. We support these rights unequivocally and support Kat, Cat, Michael, Andre, Joselyn, and Brian in their fight against an unjust prosecution.
They want to make an example of one of us, hoping the rest will fall silent. They want us to believe that fear is safer than truth. But silence has never defined our state. We must stay stronger than ever and never back down to this type of bullying and intimidation."

Signed: Laura Fine, Bushra Amiwala, Mike Simmons, Sam Polan, Hoan Huynh and Daniel Biss

Below is a tweet from Aaron Rupar quoting Senator John Kennedy saying: β€œBringing back high risk pools, which have been outlawed under the ACA.” The attached CNN screenshot shows a split-screen interview with Kennedy and the anchor discussing Republican healthcare ideas.

β€œHigh risk pools” are groups where insurance companies put those with preexisting conditions. Don’t let them hide the ball.

Look, I'm not an advocate for violent tactics BUT, if you go into public dressed as a Nazi or throw a Hitler Große salute and you get your ass beat, that's on you. There should be nothing controversial about this.

Drew Struzan painted my childhood. His posters always brought me awe and wonder at his talent and increased my interest in a film. His passing truly marks the end of an era that I doubt we will ever see again.

This way too relatable. Moved into my house 10+ years ago. It was winter at the time and didn't realize the backyard was literally all black walnut trees. Now my yard is a nightmare of falling objects and I also discovered I'm allergic to walnut tree pollen.πŸ™ƒ

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
