This one felt better than usual.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Opinion | Mamdani’s Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Gotta be the Jays now, no? Two games in Toronto?

I lived in S Korea for 12 years and even so man this is laying on the graciousness and politeness a bit too thick

My cats have fur of course, but even they want heat on I imagine.

Winter has come, so to speak.

Having a psychological battle with myself over whether to turn on the heat, finally.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

This sign spoke to me.

(apologies for being such a bad photographer that I cut this fellow former Republican’s head out of the photo)

"The money is amazing—he just gives it to you when you show up, and says, 'Here is the cash. Thanks, my faithful protesting employees. My name is George Soros. This is happening in real life, you are not dreaming, and this is not an insane lie your president is making up.'"
