Lauren Bobert’s husband divorced her because she was really loud in bed and he could hear her all the way from their neighbor’s trailer.

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

One thing about adult life is that making same-day plans becomes quite difficult. And not necessarily because you’re super busy or anything, but because maybe you’ve already taken a chicken breast out of the freezer and, well, your fate has now been sealed along with that of the chicken breast.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

Unexpectedly good politics from Thomas Kinkade's family! www.kinkadefamilyfoundation.org

US memo allows federal employees to evangelise colleagues at work Memo permits religious persuasion at work if non-harassing, likening it to encouraging other personal activities.

Two bunnies flee from a bunch of home fireworks going off at once. The fireworks are the old-fashioned rocket-shaped ones, and the bunnies purchased a crate of them to light out in the woods at night. The fireworks that have already gone off spiral erratically in all directions

Maybe the most antisemitic thing I've experienced as a Jewish New Yorker is hearing sanctimonious hypocrites like Eric fucking Swalwell telling me I should be terrified of a candidate who has pledged repeatedly to protect and fight for Jews in this city

This is what heroes look like: History will record, in the fight against the authoritarian fascism of Trump and the sycophantic enablers of the Republican Party, Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagan stood tall in their defense of the United States constitution.

Iran strikes push Vance, a foreign intervention skeptic, into the role of salesman The White House is leaning on Vice President JD Vance to make the case for President Donald Trump's decision to bomb Iran and plunge the U.S. into a Middle East conflict.

“… but the difference is that back then, we had dumb presidents, and now we have a president who actually knows how to accomplish America’s national security objectives.”
