HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

Harry Truman: If it benefits all the people, they call it socialism.

He should call it And Another Thing

His background is as a *failed* private businessman, remember.

I'd really rather not, if it's all the same to you.

A great deal depends on how we define "sandwich". Do we include tacos, for instance?

Surely Putin has his hands full with Ukraine.

I see. So when I make bread, am I kneading do or dough?

I suppose he might go to Russia. But people have debated for decades whether or not it is really European country. And Orban's hold on Hungary seems to be weakening. Still, you make a fair point.

You'll go to prison *again*, Steve?

You know you are an absolute piece of shit when a federal judge says you have to fully fund SNAP to keep people from going hungry and your response is "NO" and you immediately appeal the ruling to make sure people go hungry like you want them to.

Particulars of Israel-Palestine aside, it's a bit surreal seeing a mayor get grilled on foreign policy while everyone shrugs when the actual president appears to be throwing darts at a map blindfolded to decide our next war. Sorry, Cameroon. Nothing personal.

On the whole, Europe has given up on dictatorship.

Are they labelling everything so that the President will know where he is from moment to moment?

No, seriously...

Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

To be fair, if I were passing out, RFK Jr is the last person I would want anywhere near me. Better that he ran away, really.

The eating of cheese with apple pie originated in the north of England, I'm pretty sure. There is no cinnamon in English apple pie.

Periodic reminder that "Abolish ICE" is the moderate position

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Folks - let them think this. I’ve spent 25 years doing campaigns - when you think like this after a loss like last night, you are doomed to lose again.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

With Trump's lame-duck status now sealed, it’s time for the GOP Congress to ditch the shutdown circus and stand up to him. The emperor clearly has no clothes —let's end this farce.

It would, y'know, because you'd be using their identity as an insult.

There's a bit of American bias in the language used, and tolerated, on BlueSky, maybe that's it. Or maybe it was something else altogether.

It's an offensive term that has been retired from general use. If you can't grasp that, I can't help you.

I'm just speculating. But it's really not a cool term to use.

Might be your use of the R word.

@governor.ca.gov Governor Newsom, given the abject failure of GOP transphobia tonight to get them absolutely any success whatsoever with voters, will you be reconsidering your policy of throwing transgender Californians under the bus to further your political ambitions?
