The most terrifying thing about that House of Dynamite movie wasn't its accuracy - it was the thought that even if 1% was true, that is waaaaay too much responsibility to give yam-tits & his minions

so like tear-gassing kids?

My gawd the driver had to go slow so as not to hurt people? OMG, the horror

A graphic reads: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority. - White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt"

Opinion | A Nazi Tattoo Exposes Democrats’ Greatest Weakness

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social is just so damn smart. Her essay sums up the Democrat problem: “why do so many people feel the need to work so hard to redeem a man who had a Nazi tattoo?” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

I know these incidents are several days old but I cannot stop my heart from breaking with the contrast between the happy, fun halloween decorations in the background, and what is in the foreground

Well this seems absolutely delightful. What could possibly go wrong?

Fake ABC ad: At the request of the president, Abbott Elementary is white now

Just about spit out my coffee when I saw this in my morning newspaper @theonion.com

We’re barreling towards the GOP’s full-blown national health care crisis. Democrats are reporting for work to stop the crisis and reopen the government. Why are Republicans on extended paid vacation?

Media must cover — not cover up — Trump’s unfitness The president benefits from the failure to focus on his broken brain

I wish he would take his spraddled, raddled, bilious self somewhere far far away, perhaps to be eaten by orcas.

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

When a psychopath rules, the rules become irrelevant especially if the yam-titted psychopath is surrounded by craven enablers

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Sounds like Mikey just resigned. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social that’s your cue
