A bahn mi would be relatively useless due to the bounciness of tofu, but a Philly cheesesteak, while crude, could be impressive.

on Friday — while millions of Americans were going without paychecks, wondering how they were going to pay their skyrocketing insurance premiums, and struggling to feed their families — some fucking idiot bragged about having inflicted his terminally vulgar lack of taste onto the White House’s Lincoln Bathroom.

AVERAGE AMERICANS CAN'T PAY THEIR BILLS, BUT ALL DONNY CARES ABOUT HIS IS GAUDY NEW BATHROOM. "LET THEM EAT GOLDEN TOILETS," AM I RIGHT? SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY. I COVER THIS AND ALL THE OTHER DUMBFUCKERY THAT HAPPENED IN MY "THIS WEEK IN STUPID," WHICH YOU CAN READ HERE, THANK YOU: bit.ly/4nwBvIw

it’s nighttime in America. our government has been shuttered for a month. millions of Americans have just lost their jobs, and millions more just lost their assistance benefits. prices of goods and services keep rising with no end in sight, and the cost of healthcare is about to skyrocket. We the People are hurting — badly. meanwhile, down in his vulgar Florida golf motel, a 34-criminal-count narcoleptic fart factory is hosting a party for his rich fuckwad friends who get off on destroying everything around them. the theme of the party? some book about rich fuckwads who get off on destroying everything around them.

WHAT KIND OF SHITHOLE FUCKWIT THROWS A "GREAT GATSBY" PARTY AFTER DENYING SNAP BENEFITS TO NEEDY FAMILIES? SPOILER ALERT: THE DONNY CONVICT KIND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POWERFUL POST IN WHICH I COIN THE PHRASE "THE GREAT FATSBY" — YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA! LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4qWwqwf

not to put a too fine point on this, but if Donny knew nothing about the person he was pardoning, THEN WHY THE FUCK DID HE PARDON HIM? pardons are supposed to be the result of careful consideration of actual miscarriages of justice. they aren’t supposed to be doled out like swag bags at some Great Fatsby golf motel party. either Preznit Fuckwit is lying right to our faces about not knowing the guy who helped Donny enrich himself to the tune of billions of dollars though a series of crypto scams, or he just admitted to unquestioningly signing whatever papers some toady puts in front of him. I’m not sure which is worse.

DEMENTED DONNY (LOW-IQ "LOSER") WENT ON 60 MINUTES AND CONFESSED HE HAD NO IDEA WHO HE WAS PARDONING. IF BIDEN SAID THAT, REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE LOST THEIR FUCKING MINDS. I EXPLAIN THIS IN A "TREMENDOUS" POST LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR READING IT HERE: bit.ly/3Xb5wCQ

why the fuck is 60 Minutes even bothering? in a world of new lows, a newer low

What I think these idiots have forgotten to consider is that when people are desperate for food, housing and safety crime is likely to increase.

Donald Trump was a nightmare landlord in the 1980s | CNN Business The darker side of Donald Trump was revealed in the 1980s, when he waged a war on rent-stabilized tenants and an old lady in New York City.

Oh LiHeap is gone. They leave by it here in AL. It’s going to be a rough winter here. Brought to us by project 2025 and those who refused to vote for a Black woman.

Government shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families Millions of low-income families may face delays in receiving home heating aid due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

So no health care. No food. Now no heat?

A tweet with pictures of Graham protesting in Washington, D.C.: Look who I found. Apparently, back in March - before any talk of a run, this guy got on a bus with a bunch of local organizers from Maine, and headed down to DC to try and fight against the GOP's evisceration of Medicaid and cuts to reproductive healthcare.

You got me.

in america you can either vote for the party that wants to make things worse or the party that wants to do absolutely nothing and if you try to build a coalition that makes things better they send the cops to kill you in your sleep

How do I iron this?

Every public school teacher you know now knows more about how to help families find affordable food than they did about a week ago. In case any anti-teacher-union types are curious, this is what those disruptive organizers have been texting/emailing each other about all weekend.

yes, many people on Bluesky do respond incredibly aggressively to any non-negative mention of AI.

if that upsets you, while I get it, there are people responsible for *why* so many Bluesky users are utterly enraged at AI, and they are not in fact those Bluesky users.

My wife @zoandbehold.bsky.social in NY Mag today!!!

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + Governor Kathy Hochul of New York State is killing the entire region with Energy Prices that are OUT OF CONTROL, and expected to TRIPLE because she can't get an Upstate and, separately, Long Island, PIPELINE built. All of Connecticut, including its Governor, and New England, are REALLY ANGRY AT HER. New York City is getting KILLED by her ridiculous CONGESTION PRICING, where people have to pay a fortune to come into Manhattan - So they just don't come! The place is a ghost town. I am going to ask our Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, to take a good, long look at terminating New York City Congestion Pricing. The entire State is going to hell, so the Federal Government will, of necessity, get involved!

it’s actually hilarious that Trump already tried to repeal congestion pricing, failed miserably, and has no other moves other than asking Duffy to “look into it” again

She helped get her violent husband deported. Then ICE deported her — straight into his arms. Carmen's abusive husband came home drunk one night last summer. He pounded and kicked the door.

They claim they want to deport the worst of the worst criminals, yet “Carmen” helped law enforcement catch a criminal and was punished for it.

She reported her abusive & violent husband and he was deported.

Then they deported her too. Right back to the man who abused her.

AOC points out how the Trump administration warned grocery stores to not offer discounts. H/T @crampell.bsky.social.

AOC says "if people don't want people to be on SNAP wick and EBT, they can't also be opposing minimum wage increases too which is what they also, they save no snap. No, Medicaid, and also no minimum wage." Says "They just want to keep people poor and desperate."

AOC is doing an Instagram Live on SNAP. "They get corporations and billionaires get more in wealthier than a single mom ever will. Than, working people ever will."

One reason I think it's safe to call bullshit on the billionaire threat to quit New York if Mamdani wins is that they are spending WAY more to try to beat him than he plans to tax them if he wins

Kelpie is bound and determined to eat plastic tonight, and I just need her to STOP.
