After nearly two years of economic failure and broken promises, JD Vance’s midterm pitch these closing weeks is “give us another chance.” The American people cannot afford another round of this - and the good news is we don’t have to.

NEWS: New York City just recorded the safest summer in its history. From June through August, NYC saw its fewest shootings, shooting victims, and murders on record. Major crime fell 6.2% year-to-date, murders plunged 24.1%, and the subway had zero murders, shootings, or rapes in August.

Cool, cool, I have a couple quick questions -- who's in charge of preventing food-induced illnesses right now and how good a job are they doing?

RFK Jr defends measles: "In 10 years, there have been 3 measles deaths in America. There are now about 1.2 million deaths every year from food-induced illness. The media and certain demagogic politicians are constantly trying to scare us about infectious disease."

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

JD Vance calls for Trump to be imprisoned

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "If you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and throw you in prison for enriching yourself off the American taxpayer"

remember when michelle obama focused on encouraging childhood health and activity and republicans told her to shut the fuck up

Fox News hosts are now openly advocating for little kids to be mocked on the school playground if they are overweight - essentially saying it should be public policy. "It is a part of the MAHA movement, this is part of the, a central part of the MAHA movement." www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/dis...

SCALISE: We've delivered. Remember that 2 years ago, we were paying almost $6 a gallon. Right now it's in the $3s KERNEN: When were we paying $6? SCALISE: 2.5 years ago K: That's not right S: We are lowering inflation K: We're actually above where we were then. 2 years ago the average was $3.65

This is not just a “mean tweet.” This is a character assassination of an honorable public servant, a concept Trump will never understand, all to rewrite the history of Trump‘s own dishonor.

This is absolutely what happened.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

They tear-gassed kids last week.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow? NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

It's really sad how people struggling to free or defend their countries, like Zelensky and this woman, have to repeatedly debase themselves in front of this man because there is no longer any responsible leader of the Free World.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels. I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them. Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy. Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Trump will likely try to use this to justify authoritarian crackdowns...and delegitimize dissent. Democrats should preempt that by warning: “Yes, violence is unacceptable...and equally unacceptable...is using this tragedy as an excuse to strip away constitutional freedoms.”

He's standing in front of my daughter's high school. I always hoped that she'd never experience this, but every day I drop her off, I make sure to tell her I love her. Thank goodness she's safe, but there are some parents tonight who can't say the same about their kid.💔

COMMENTARY: Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah today. And so were schoolchildren in Colorado. Because of the sick delusion that violence solves problems. None of us is safe.

“Should Dems tone down their rhetoric?” Um, the President shared a meme of him invading Chicago with military helicopters and renamed the Department of the Defense to the Department of War. And that’s just this week.

It's crazy to think that, when the history of this period is written, the gutting of the federal bureaucracy and the loss of D.C.'s semi-autonomy will lead back to a character named Big Balls. Future historians, I envy you.

The Klan was humiliated when people refused to cower and just started pointing and laughing at them, and I bet these dance parties are driving human thumb Tom Homan crazy. Crazier, I guess.

A full Tejano band in a big truck rolled into the Olvera St, the lead singer has a Fuck ICE shirt on, and this protest is now a dance party

The Trump team thinks Confederate traitors who killed Americans are worth honoring. But Americans who fought at Normandy in D-Day like Medgar Evers, or served in the Navy like Harvey Milk and Cesar Chavez, or worked as a spy for the US Army like Harriet Tubman, well, they are NOT worth honoring.

Kevin M. Levin@civilwarmemory.bsky.social

Remember when Republicans argued that changing the names of military bases and removing statues was tantamount to erasing history? They forgot to add that this only holds for straight white men, who made war on the United States during the Civil War.

Between this and his West Point address, it’s pretty clear Donald Trump isn’t concerned with the troops and is just in it for himself. No mention of the fallen soldiers from our Commander in Chief.

Aaron Parnas@aaronparnas.bsky.social

If Joe Biden posted this Memorial Day message, the mainstream media and Republicans would say he is completely unfit to serve, with many calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. Because it's Trump, everyone remains silent.
