It’s getting old @realdonaldtrump 🥱

Excellent point

I want a president who knows what the parts of speech are and how to use them. Is that really asking for too much?

Former Vice President Dick Cheney will vote for Harris, daughter Liz Cheney says nbcnews.com/politics/2024-… via @nbcnews

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, the economist who asked Donald Trump the question surrounding childcare funding just appeared on CNN to say she was completely insulted and baffled by Trump’s response. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

Immediately after the debate, Harris should call an impromptu press conference and systematically go through the questions and Trump's answers (or non-answers). She should stay all night if necessary to fully dissect his lying and gibberish. Like Hillary Clinton did in 1994.

All the critiques about VP Kamala Harris not doing “serious interviews” miss how this convo, on “Call Her Daddy” on VP using the government to rectify the power imbalance of abuse/ control, is better than the gotcha “serious journalist” interviews

Here's how reporters at the Washington Post and LA Times can get even with their cowardly bosses--just do your jobs! Stop sanewashing Trump, stop bothsidesing him and Harris, stop covering up his obvious dementia, advocacy of fascism and disdain for democratic norms. That's all.

As the son of a disabled WW2 vet, I agree.

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

If Republicans are OK with the "Roman Salute" that Musk did then please start using it from now. Exactly how he did it. Begin your press conferences this way. Your Youtube shows. Go for it. Do it in Europe when you're traveling.

My biggest fear is that Republicans have rightly assumed that whatever they get rid of, or break, or undermine, Democrats won’t have the guts or enthusiasm to bring back. This will be the new normal.

When politicians can be bought, every vote becomes an auction.

Putting aside the (big) questions about Greene's motivations and sincerity, I feel compelled to say that, in breaking with Trump, she's doing it in exactly the way I would tell her to do it if I were her political consultant. {gift link} nytimes.com/2025/11/16/us/…

"I have always felt that a human being could only be saved by another human being. I am aware that we do not save each other very often. But I am also aware that we save each other some of the time." Baldwin's classic meditation on how to live through your darkest hour:

I mean, Israel has literally (and illegally) bombed multiple - *multiple* - Middle East countries this year *alone*. Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen, and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (Gaza and the West Bank).

For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians. He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.
