Trump issued numerous executive orders targeting law firms that have represented Democrats or other people suing or prosecuting him.

That, on its own, is a breathtaking abuse of presidential powerโ€”explaining why the orders have been repeatedly struck down.

Two panels from Fantastic Four #1
First panel, with three hands together:
Speech balloon: โ€œIโ€™m calling myself The Human Torchโ€” and Iโ€™m with you all the way!โ€
Second speech balloon: โ€œSame goes for meโ€ฆ The Invisible Girl!โ€
Third speech balloon: โ€œThereโ€™s only one still missingโ€ฆ Ben!!โ€
Second panel, with The Thingโ€™s rocky hand now on top:
Speech balloon from his direction: โ€œI ainโ€™t Ben anymoreโ€”Iโ€™m what Susan called meโ€”The Thing!!โ€
Second speech balloon: โ€œAnd Iโ€™ll call myselfโ€ฆ Mister Fantastic!!โ€

Havenโ€™t seen Fantastic Four yet but I hope they include this scene from the original comic, where Ben feels heโ€™s no longer a man and has been reduced to nothing more than an object, only for Reed to cut in, โ€œYeah sure thingโ€”and you can call ME Mr Hot Shit!โ€

Given how pretty much every Trump policy polls, if Dems canโ€™t figure out how to sweep the 2026 midterms, maybe the entire party should just become a Spirit Halloween

Another deranged, stupid post from Trump on Truth Social. He lies about how Native Americans supposedly want names like "the Redskins" back, then suggest that the Cleveland guardians go back to their original name, which he doesn't seem to realize wasn't Indians. And he seems to think they were an original 16 team, which is hockey, not baseball. Anyway, here's the dumb shit for you in original form:

The Washington "Whatever's" should
IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!

I like how treating Trump posts as law brings us closer to rule by talk radio caller. "Hello Larry LOVE YOUR SHOW. We used to get REGULAR STYROFOAM in boxes and we called them PEANUTS but they weren't WORTH peanuts. Now we get SHREDDED BROWN stuff I'm hereby calling RABBIT FOOD, which is now ILLEGAL

Megyn Kelly on twitter: Yes, Zohran, what Nicole B. Simpson really needed to stop OJ from nearly decapitating her was a social wkr who could have centered OJโ€™s blackness to make him feel seen. Same for Diddy as he beat Cassie to a pulp. Just needed a reminder to be his best self!

yes, this is a great point. and i'm glad that Nicole is alive today because the police famously stopped OJ from murdering her

Vance says bombing Iran is different from other 'dumb' presidents' military actions On Sunday talk shows, the vice president made the case for bombing Iranโ€”a notable shift from his previous anti-war rhetoric.

Past presidents may have been "dumb," but that doesn't make a new war smart.
