‘No Kings’ Has Republicans in Disarray Why GOP lawmakers are spreading fear about the upcoming rally.

Members of Congress are describing protests that are heavily attended by retired liberal boomers and college students with words like "terrorist." It's a clear attempt to scare people away from exercising their first amendment rights www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-r...

‘I’m with him until he dies’—Iowa State Fairgoers Picking Sides for 2024 ‘We wanted to see the freak show.’

I made an observation at the Iowa state fair in 2023 that conservative apparel and merch carries these on as well. BLM, Biden being handsy with women, etc. One guy was even wearing a Rush Limbaugh branded anti-Kaepernick shirt www.thebulwark.com/p/im-with-hi...

Asking me to do anything laborious on Columbus Day is racism. Let me eat my cured meats and cheeses in peace. 🇮🇹

She also will not be successful in the ways that networks determine success because of the continued decline of TV ad revenue, imo.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Pool reporter should've asked for a show of hands who in the cabinet is circumcised.

Did Democratic presidents also observe Columbus day with official proclamations? Of course. But none were as cool about it. "We're back, Italians. We love the Italians."

Don't ever say people at the Bulwark won't acknowledge when Trump gets something right. For me, this rules. Columbus Day is our special day to slam Birra Moretti and gorge on prosciutto.

Hell yeah

Im once again falling for Map Bait, but Nor Cal is Santa Cruz and up. Obviously not geographically, but it is more culturally Nor Cal than the rest of the central coast.

The Obamacare Repeal Movement Is Dead. Long Live Obamacare Repeal. “It’s probably gonna happen after the midterms.”

There’s a generational divide on repealing and replacing Obamacare. Those who were around for the failed attempts are uninterested. Those who weren’t, well, they want the GOP to have another go at it. www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Straight Gen Z men who spend all their money on sports gambling and Zyn are probably a lot more common than people who go by "Mx. [Last name]." But the NYT reporter didn't even bother to explore that and what their marriages are looking like (I'd imagine not that good either!)

Exploring marriage and divorce patterns for people under 30 is definitely a worthwhile assignment. I just think it could be done much, much better than this.

What Does Gen Z Divorce Look Like?

This piece is bad. The example in their lede isn't actually a marriage, just a couple who call themselves married but aren't in any legal or religious sense. The reporter also didn't speak to any men. Seems more like Gen Z trend piece rage bait than a genuine analysis www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/s...

Lmao

Pretending to be in session is not in session. We saw this Tuesday when dems all showed up to a pro forma session. The speaker decides when the chamber is in session.

No there aren’t. New members are sworn in by the speaker. He could do it (and has before) during pro forma sessions but is refusing to here. He’s only required if the house is in session

That is not how it works
