I guess it's too late to redo the primary in the hope that more people would vote for Fulop? Sigh.

That's just fantastic.

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Football fans want everything, but not enough to wait for it. Parkinson got them though three promotions in three years, a crazy record. Did they expect they'd be in the Premier League by 2026? They've only played 9 games! Give the man a break.

Your son is very talented. 💕

As long as the loudest folks on the left insist tone-policing, compromise on human rights, and acquiescence are our only options for a unified country, they will continue to lose the faith of the marginalized. And even when they win, they’ll just be waiting to lose the same way again.

I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons?

This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

I'm 61 and I'm rolling my eyes at her.

The colors are gorgeous.

I knew someone when I was a kid that name their all-white dog Cocaine. I was not impressed.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

I watched the whole thing before I even noticed there was sound. This is all fantastic

"Chuffed" is one of my all-time favorite words. And I learned it from The Great British Bake Off, of course.

My favorite insult, however, is "bell end"

Trump Says America’s Oil Industry Is Cleaner Than Other Countries’. New Data Shows Massive Emissions From Texas Wells. The oil industry touts Texas as a success story in controlling climate-warming methane emissions. The state’s regulator, however, grants nearly every request to burn or vent gas into the atmosphere.

Oil companies in Texas requested permission to burn off or release more than 195 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year — enough to power more than 3 million homes and generate millions in tax revenue had the gas been captured.

The Mesa Gateway Airport is operating a secret detention facility. The facility is meant to hold people for 12-hours. Records show one man was held for 42-days.

This is on top of the Avelo deportation flights operating out of Mesa Gateway. Boycott this place into the fucking ground.

Someday we will deeply interrogate the weaponized expectation of gratitude for authority figures who believe you owe them for not killing you YET. It’s like the person holding a blade to your throat being annoyed that you’re complaining about bleeding instead of thanking them for not cutting deeper.

If I had legs like that I'd wear short shorts too
