The citizen who yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" is, in this hard time, a patriot. Honestly, what is left to say about this level of misrule? What careful critique hasn't been already offered? What reasoned response to this full-on run at fascism and kleptocracy remained unspoken?

oh my god

Ok 1) it is not ok the president of the United States is this psychotic about anything and would devote even a fraction of his precious minutes to issuing a weird cultural fatwa against an hbo late night dipshit but 2) he is correct about Bill Maher being unbearably bad at comedy

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

I am in favor of whatever plan reduces Hegseth’s actual power, but if he really has his eye on running for president, then people might forget what a shitheel he is if he’s in the Senate and not on the national stage every day, which is not good

There’s chatter on the Hill that Pete Hegseth has been angling for Sen. Marsha Blackburn to appoint him to her Senate seat, if she becomes Tennessee governor, sparing him a potential impeachment trial. puck.news/hegseths-sen...

my husband has had Covid since last weekend, is finally on the mend. It’s much easier to have Covid when you’re empty nesting. my house isn’t that big and I feel like I’ve barely seen him.

I don’t wanna care about the Brazilian elections. Am I the only one that feels like they have an elections disorder? Something in the PTSD family?

I almost feel like we should seem more nonchalant about the midterms as Blue voters so that the MAGA types dont get the impression that theyre missing out on an event. I dont want FOMO to be a motivating factor for them.

Im optimistic for election day, but I think we may be putting too much emphasis on *Trump* bring disliked. Yes, the Evelyn Normielibs (me) are voting blue to push back Trumpism - and there are a lot of us - but locally I think we need to hope for depressed GOP voter turnout more than anything...

...and that means hoping that their individual candidates arent exciting enough to motivate them. On balance, I dont think they are exciting enough. But where there is an opportunity to "other" the Dem (Michigan), or upend a longstanding tradition (TX, ME, etc), the GOP may be able to motivate

Im mad that the price of gas is what motivate voters. We should be beyond gasoline at this point in human history, and also people are selfish jerks.

Today marks the deadliest mass shooting in Maine’s history. In 2023, a gunman armed with a Ruger AR-10 rifle and high-capacity magazines opened fire in a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston. Eighteen people were killed, including four deaf people, and 13 others were wounded.

I don’t go to the cheesecake factory regularly, but I did make a point to go a couple of months ago after reading that they’re one of the only chain restaurants that has a scratch kitchen and doesn’t use a distributor like Sysco

Anyone who’s had this will tell you the same story and it is IMO important to understand the terror of transgender people as sex offenders is much the same thing as black-clad lads in the street shouting against migrants as sex offenders. They are different facets of the same reactionary project.

🚨NEW STORY🚨 Farmer Jamie Davis is closing the gap as he bids to be Louisiana’s first Black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction, leaving Julia Letlow without the sure victory Republicans had hoped for. "This is not going to be a slam dunk," a pollster warns. thelensnola.org/2026/10/23/j...

Not for nothing but PBS does election night coverage and we work really really really hard on it. Union shop as well!

Scoop from @brettlogiurato.bsky.social: CBS has sold its local election night coverage to DraftKings, stirring more controversy inside the David Ellison-owned company. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-draftk...

look how antsy the crowd is

Something is off with Trump tonight. The gaffes, the glitches, the confusion are well beyond his usual. "They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady."
