Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.

Boy watching Homer beat up the krusty burglar: Stop! He’s already dead!

I just voted NO on the bill that fails to prevent the looming health care crisis and fails to rein in Trump’s lawless actions, but I won’t give up — and I urge the American people to stay in the fight despite this disappointing outcome.

if I voted for something that had a hidden provision to let Ted Cruz teabag me like this I would change my vote and block final passage for no reason aside from basic dignity

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

oh yeah this is definitely healthy stuff happening here, cool cool cool

It's cool when a member of Congress says there's no point in standing up to the bully who is literally taking our tax money.

We do not have a federal government.

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

“I’m in the ‘Hitler sucks’ wing of the Republican Party,” Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said over the weekend at the R.J.C. event. “Here’s what I do know: You can sit in a basement with weird people and say weird things. It’s a free country.”

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

TIL other countries don't give stickers to voters

Horrifying.

This should be rectified.

the second polls close in California, CNN projects that Proposition 50 passes

Challenge to the voters: remember that you hate republican governance for more than five minutes after they leave.

You all are going to wish you'd made your peace with Woke 1

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

The person who is currently running our country has lost his mind and it’s time we start talking about it.

The Washington Post with a story about how remaking an institution to appeal to the pro-Trump right doesn't help the bottom line.

Hundreds killed in Darfur hospital massacre, 'hero' doctors abducted The last hospital in Darfur's el-Fasher has been destroyed by paramilitaries — hundreds of patients killed and doctors taken.

Horrific

As of today, Adelita Grijalva has gone un-sworn-in for longer than any representative-elect this century. (Data from @greggiroux.bsky.social)

Why is the press brainstorming dictatorship ideas with a fascist

“the president got mad at a television commercial so now your maple syrup is more expensive” is no way to run a country
