Imagine the bottomless narcissism required to stand on a stage and clutch a Microsoft Word-templated certificate in a Dollar Tree frame delusionally declaring you "Man of the Century".

🚨🚨🚨 Q: Is there any scenario in which DOJ would try to block states from certifying the election? AG TODD BLANCHE: Yes, of course. It is not DOJ's intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...

"Things more important than money" says the guy who sued his patients over $100 copays.

Sen. Roger Marshall trying to brush off spiking gas prices by claiming "there are things more important than money" is peak tone-deaf elitism. Try telling that to working families drowning under the inflation and high energy costs he enabled. #momsky#sheshed #momthevote

She's so imaginably bad at this, even by GOP standards.

FOX NEWS: What do you tell voters is your plan to make their lives more affordable? DARLINE GRAHAM: The long term solution is easing regulations on drilling and oil refineries. Under Democrats, gas prices are going to be permanently high

It's already kinda cliche, but I haven't heard someone communicate this succinctly and endearingly since Obama.

When JD Vance says Abdul El-Sayed should express "gratitude" for what America has given him, Vance is really saying he's lower on the American hierarchy than "heritage Americans" are. I asked El-Sayed to respond to this point. Here's his answer: newrepublic.com/article/2169...

If I were provided a dietician, chef, and trainer and paid 8 figures because it is literally my job to look like this I could look like this.

[smugly] I am much older than that.

Republican Vice President endorses all Democrats on the ballot.

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

JD Vance makes a recommendation on who to vote for in the midterms: "Vote for the people who have solutions to lower the cost of gas, don't vote for the people who made the problem to begin with."

In case you were wondering how bad the backlash will be, the Republican who ran against Vivek in the primary just endorsed Amy Acton.

The lane they've picked is racism, Kevin.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.

Amazing how they can do all that while also stealing your job and taking all the welfare at the same time.

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

Just trying to hit all the right-wing boogeyman nonsense into one sentence now are we?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Mike Waltz alleges that "the communist party in Cuba has been working with antifa and a number of other progressive leftist groups to sow chaos in our inner cities ... they're doing it with the violent environmentalist movement and pro-Palestinian movement"

Wow. Imagine if there were any consequences?

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

Boomers were handed the best economy in the history of humanity and spent the last 40 years doing nothing besides pulling up the ladder behind them.

Politico@politico.com

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

I didn't go to West Point, but this seems bad!

The US military fired roughly 19 years’ worth of Patriot interceptor purchases in just seven months of Trump’s Iran War, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates.

Hassett: "If economic polls were correct, then people wouldn't be taking trips to nice hotels, they wouldn't be flying, they wouldn't be buying cars, they wouldn't be doing all the things they do when they're feeling good about the economy... people are acting like we're in a boom. We are in a boom"

Only if Cage is playing his character from Spider Noir and Banderas is playing his character from Paddington 3.

Free campaign ad pitch - "Don't vote for the measles party Party."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Minnesota Republican state Sen. Bill Lieske: "Back in the day when the measles vaccine didn't exist, measles was a joke! ... yes, there are increases cases. How many of those are actually resulting in deaths? Are they just going home with the sniffles? Back in the day, people had measles parties."

Wonder if every Republican running for any office going on any show on any network will be asked to go on record disavowing this bigoted tirade by Kid Rock or is that just something we do to Democrats and Hasan Piker?

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Kid Rock goes full Islamophobic bigot while talking about Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I know he looks assimilated... I would be very careful. Guess who else assimilated? The Fort Hood shooter. Guess who else assimilated? Pilots that flew airplanes into our World Trade Centers!"

We are a vile, cruel nation.

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Are we sure Michele didn't get 8 concussions during her time on the NFL sidelines?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

wow -- Michele Tafoya says Minnesota who protested Operation Metro Surge weren't peaceful and says, "this was not about peaceful protesting. This was about violence and criminal conduct."

He took the "Your imaginary friend is way less cool than my imaginary friend!" argument away from this guy like a pro.

Larry Houston@larrytoons54.bsky.social

Heckler: “I voted for Biden. I like you, but I can't vote for you. The problem is, his book says something different than my book.” The crowd booed. Security started to approach the man. But Abdul El Sayed stopped him. Abdul El Sayed: “Let him stay.Let him stay." The guards backed off. He paused.

Fox "News" it out there claiming they are the victim because someone didn't debunk their false story quickly enough.

Who voted to fund this hiring blitz??

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Susan Collins: "I think what happened is far too many ICE officers were hired and deployed without adequate vetting and training"

Just the Vice President casually making a gay joke. Just life in 2026 America. I hate it here.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "I love you too sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Talarico."

My 47 year old brain needs this in my life.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

The entire economy is 8 companies paying each other the same $30 billion each month.

Steve Rattner@steverattner.bsky.social

Take A.I. and chip stocks out of the index and the market is down 5.7% since late August. The S&P 500 is up 2.4% over the same stretch, chip stocks 16%. A.I. is holding the whole market up.

There is zero reason for one company to own all these properties. What a miscarriage of consumer justice. Not surprised at all though.
