Delightful:

Happy Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day to all who celebrate.

Hell yeah!

Last night’s election results, in a nutshell.

(watching this legitimately made me laugh out loud)

Layoffs surge to highest level since Great Recession—thanks, Trump A new report released on Thursday revealed a massive surge in job cuts last month and an overall increase in layoffs for this year—hitting levels not seen since the Great Recession. The report ...

Layoffs surge to highest level since Great Recession—thanks, Trump www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

“Job cuts hit highest October level in 20 years”

Wild that @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social didn’t think this energy was important to get behind.

A cool Interesting Times topic would be "We Put Ross Douthat Into One of Those Drive-Thru Tubes at the Bank, and this is the Sound it Made When We Pushed the Button"

Ross Douthat right now:

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

the time has come for journalists to flock to bluesky to take the pulse of real america

This is going to keep a smile on my face for the next week at least. Way to go, Big Apple!

Universal swing in action: "What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

Somewhere near downtown LA, no lies told — blue states keep MAGA country afloat. 🔥

“You just keep on using me until you use me up.”

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Didn’t even take 24 hours for billionaires to decide they aren’t leaving New York after all.

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

whens the last time a reporter on the white house beat really broke a story? when i first started writing about politics in 2000-2004 i was astounded by how reporters and writers in dc knew less about politics than a college dropout sitting on an egg crate in an an apartment in la/boston

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

REPUBLICAN Rep. Turner says Hegseth & Trump gave “not very good answers” about the boat bombings in international waters. (As the UN condemns it)

Dozens killed. No evidence that any of this was necessary or justified.

Weird, it’s almost like Trump’s constant threats of lawsuits are meaningless and institutions should not capitulate right away

Speaker Johnson: “If we had a contingency fund for SNAP we’d use it.”

REALITY: There is one, Trump literally just deleted it off the USDA site 🤷🏼
