I think the Dems have done a good job on hammering the GOP into a corner on health care. But in the grand scheme that’s a safe space/easy pull for them. They need to replicate that consistency with the other issues.

It's a battle of wills with a dude in a frog suit doing pelvic thrusts. Do you know how much psychic damage that does?

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

A yellow dog, Maddie, with bright yellow medical tape around her head to attempt to prevent her from scratching her injured ear. It lasted about 2 minutes.

Adelita Grijalva and some Epstein survivors talking about the lengths Trump is going to cover up the Epstein files.

comic book authors: we invented the punisher as a cautionary tale about vigilante crime fighting

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

This was an amazing show - bucket list achieved!

The reason we have rules of engagement isn’t to keep warfighters from killing our enemies.

It’s to keep them from killing a farmer with a shovel bc they thought it was a rifle and didn’t bother to wait to check.

Or a family in a car bc the driver looked nervous.

Or a boat full of fishermen.

Politico: Democrats are demanding Republicans negotiate a bipartisan stopgap spending measure. Among their asks is for the GOP to extend certain Affordable Care Act subsidies, which were expanded by Congress in 2021 and are due to sunset at the end of the year. President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed Democrats for making “unserious and ridiculous” demands, foreshadowing what is likely to be the go-to talking point should neither side blink ahead of the Tuesday night deadline. “He read all the shit they’re asking for, and he said, ‘on second thought, go fuck yourself,’” the White House official said.

If you’re worried about losing your health care, apparently Trump has a message for you:

RIP to a goddamn hero.
