So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

BTW, in the 1960s, the New York Times ran a dozen "Are Homosexuals Ruining Culture?" essays, all on the premise that it was a completely reasonable area for an interesting debate, one to be settled by straight people. The editorial rationale has aged even more poorly than the stories.

Not every idea is worth airing. Not every point of view is worth hearing. Not everything that "a lot of people believe" should be credentialed by homepage space. Would the NYT editorial board run "Did Homosexuals Ruin Culture?" or "Did Black People Get Too Big for Their Britches?" I guess we'll see.

Itโ€™s not hard to see! Walmart and McDonaldโ€™s (as well as their CEOโ€™s) are fucking ripping off America!

Walmart and McDonaldโ€™s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year โ€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M โ€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Why does it matter, Newsweek, that George Strait has received so many signatures requesting he replace Bad Bunny in the 2026 Super Bowl?? Because it shows how fucking racist America is, especially by those people who would take the trouble to sign such a ridiculous petition in the first place!

I say take it a step farther and ask him if heโ€™s just far too busy on Grindr to pay attention to the important news of our country!

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Newsmax host who blatantly lies about the ethnicity of Snap recipients, going so far as to show these ridiculous graphics, should be fired immediately! Where is the accountability?!?

The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter suppression Trump's Big Lie has become government policy.

Pete Hegseth is a fucking murderer and I certainly hope those in The Hague are paying close attention and taking note to just how many fishermen this play soldier is blowing up with his toys the grownups should never have allowed him to be around. I hope his mother is so proud at what sheโ€™s wrought!

I truly hope that every country that has the means are already preparing their response to Jamaica and the monster Hurricane that is just now coming ashore. They are going to need tremendous support from their world neighbors! To quote Hillary Clinton, โ€œIt takes a Village!โ€.

And you refuse to consider retaining subsidies for the Affordable Care Act so that everyoneโ€™s premiums wonโ€™t double, or even triple!

Melissa is expected to return a Cat 5 even as it exits Jamaica! Iโ€™ve never seen a perfect eye retained even as the Hurricane comes onshore. Bryan Norcross, Hurricane Specialist says Jamaica will experience similar to an EF-5 tornado 30 miles outside of the stormโ€™s eye. Winds at 1K ft up are 250 mph!

Melissa is 1 for the record books. Itโ€™s still intensifying as it reaches Jamaica. Sustained winds are 185 winds with a barometric pressure of 892. That make Melissa the third strongest Hurricane on record! Melissa could actually be stronger, but the last hunters had to turn around due to turbulence!

Sean Duffy, you are a fucking liar! Air traffic controllers are not angry because Democrats want to give healthcare to illegals, theyโ€™re mad as Hell that you fucking Republicans are keeping the government shut because you refuse to budge on the $5 Trillion tax cut for billionaires!!!

If youโ€™re trying to wrap your head around how anyone can like and be supportive of the Los Angeles Dodgers, you might as well give up trying. There is no logical answer to this bizarre phenomenon! Go Blue Jays! Beat LA!

My husband and I have been watching baseball all season and there is still justโ€ฆso much I donโ€™t understand. This is not a request for anyone to try to explain anything to me, this is a righteous complaint.

Hakeem is obviously intensely jealous! Heโ€™ll never be even remotely as popular as Mamdani is with New York City dwellers, as well as a sizable chunk of the American electorate!

Hakeem Jeffries was just now on Chris Hayes and refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani. I can't even.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?
