Close up of jon Stewart’s desk on the daily show from the second row

my aunt is the special guest on the daily show with jon stewart tonight so i got a vip ticket to go see her :) may be the coolest thing ive ever done

felt exactly the same way. last 10 derailed the first two hours and honestly rendered it meaningless spectacle

i am a pretty partisan dem and this stuff is absolutely infuriating lol like good messaging is the LEAST i could ask for from the party right now and they’re failing on all fronts

another one of those things that is so insane it just doesn't break through in the media. you could zero out the entire Navy and not cut that much

we lost ☹️

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration.

Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

yeah the mistake they made was assuming their colleagues would have some bare minimum of professional pride or backbone

William S. Hart in the introduction of THE BARGAIN (1914).

Many 1910s films featured this type of introduction, with the actors smiling in their civvies and then dissolving into costume with their demeanor changing to match.

Hart was from the stage and this type of intro emphasized his resume.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

“Trump hates the troops” is an easy political message right? RIGHT?

Worst case scenario is that we touch the stove and it’s a little lukewarm and we all say “hey that’s not so bad”

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

What should we be asking our reps for?

i think that people in the modern era systematically underestimate what the government is capable of. e.g., the supreme court is not gone for generations. it is gone until there is a Congressional majority to reform it.

it genuinely makes my blood boil how all these fuckers in the senate talk about the founders, the framers—they laud themselves as their rightful heirs. but when they're asked to put their political careers or their lives at risk to defend the constitution, they just surrender without a peep

you hear there's a truck called gravedigger and right away you're thinking, that sounds like a pretty imposing vehicle. but you don't know the half of it

I've heard reports that the military branches paused sexual assault prevention and response trainings. That's horrific, against the law, and disastrous for our ability to recruit, retain, and protect women. Secretary Hegseth, you have some explaining to do. Stay tuned for my oversight letter.

i just don’t understand his endgame. best case scenario, a liberalism resurgence skewers his name for the rest of history for trying to restart nazism. Worst case scenario, his own supporters kill or support violence against his wife and children. ???

So what can you guys do about it?

I hope you don’t, I had a bunch of your tweets bookmarked for research purposes 😔 i understand your reasoning why tho…

CIA agent goes to doctor. Says he's depressed.

Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great unstable government is in town tonight. Go and coup it. That should pick you up."

CIA agent bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...America is that unstable government.”

At a meeting today with staffers for Senators Markey and Warren, the staffers made two concrete asks:

1. Please call or email and share your stories about how the current administration’s actions are hurting or will hurt you personally. The Senators can use these human stories to persuade those /1
