The trick to garlic bread is to make at least 5 times too much, then eat it all hunched over in the corner of the kitchen like a rat.

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?

Sure, Jan.

There are so many pedophilia and sexual assault stories within MAGA and the GOP that it's tough to keep track of all of them.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Maine passes β€˜red flag’ law born out of the Lewiston shooting The yes side of Question 2 had 60.1% of votes to 39.9% for the no side when the Bangor Daily News and its national partner, Decision Desk HQ, called the race at 9:48 p.m. Tuesday.

🚨 Mainers have voted to pass a red flag law, which will allow family members to petition courts to remove firearms from a loved one in danger.

On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.”

On Monday morning, the Trump administration told a judge it will only PARTIALLY fund SNAP and 40 million Americans should expect delays for food benefits.

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting β€œone person” for major cities)

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

this is why I think the admin spending all week yelling about a β€œhate America” rally was stupid

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like β€œan enormous constitution being carried to the White House”

this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better
