here's Tuesday's post: "I’m so fucking tired of this election cycle" — Can’t we just skip ahead to the part where the bad guys lose? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Did you know we’re below the minimum recommended amount of oil, and just barely above the *statutory minimum* in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Lowest level since 1982, and gas is still through the roof. What happens when the war in Iran kicks back off?

This has been the dumbfuckiest election cycle ever, and it just keeps getting dumbfuckier. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I hope we all get through the next week with our sanity intact. link is here: bit.ly/47ISFxe

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. Gas prices skyrocketing. Trump says, "Pretend I'm on the ballot." Please do.

WOOOHOOOO!! Serbia, now Brazil. Next? USA and Israel!

No one is ever going to live on Mars. It’s the dumbest fucking idea in history. The. Planet. Is. Uninhabitable. Translation: that shit ain’t happening. Ever.

The Democratic Party’s biggest names are all on the trail leading up to Election Day. Obama in Ohio and Michigan. Harris in Mississippi. Clinton in Florida. Sanders and AOC in Maine. And the early votes, forecasts and generic ballots are all pointing in one direction. Let’s keep it going! 👏

One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money. Excellent system we've set up here.

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

It's time for a change. Vote for leaders like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and @jocelynbenson.bsky.social who will work every day to make this country better.

Blue Wave 9 days…

OBAMA ABSOLUTELY TORCHED HIM. 🔥 “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” Americans are paying more for groceries, gas and healthcare. Trump is covering the White House in gold, building himself a ballroom and getting richer. YOU pay. HE profits.

There is NO EVIDENCE El-Sayed belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood. He has explicitly disavowed it. This isn’t “politics.” It’s the President publicly profiling an American Muslim as a potential terrorist. Nine days.

This is the President of the United States just said that Abdul El-Sayed — BORN IN MICHIGAN, a Rhodes Scholar with an MD from Columbia and a doctorate from Oxford — is a physical threat who needs to go through a metal detector before entering the Senate. Why? Because he’s Muslim.

People can disagree with Ilhan Omar's policies, but if the rhetoric singles her out because she's a Muslim woman, that's not a policy debate. Political attacks that rely on stereotypes, fear, or resentment toward someone's race, religion, or gender should be called out for what they are. UnAmerican

“Nobody invokes the Insurrection Act over people walking down the street with signs. It doesn't happen.” 🙄 Trump and his allies are *openly* floating using the Insurrection Act to seize voting machines or ballots in order to upend an election they expect to lose.

Nobody wants violence. It would be nice if conservatives could focus on the brewing constitutional crisis instead of pearl clutching over the leftist boogeyman of the week. Also, Republicans have been threatening civil war since we dared to elect a Black man. 🤷‍♂️

here's Sunday's post: "Let’s all watch Barack Obama and Jon Ossoff use Preznit Fuckwit as a chew toy" — They’re so good at this. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

last night, Preznit Fuckwit actually said that high gas prices were a good thing, because — and I quote — "we're making a frickin' fortune." why would this demented fuck even admit that out loud? thank you for your attention to today's post, in which my head explodes. link is here: bit.ly/4sssynQ

For approximately the 94th time since 2008, Republicans are threatening civil war again. Must be about to lose another election.

You know it's true🎶 Everything Mike does🎶 He does it for Trump🎶 Hey Mike Rogers, when you see Trump today, show him this!

Ladies choice. Backwards skate.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

A Colorado town bought 30 cameras that photograph every license plate, and nobody debated it. Then Denver's logs showed 1,400+ searches tagged "ICE" or "immigration." Residents spoke up at City Hall. The council's vote wasn't close. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-is-o...

Alright folks, gotta stop there for now! Thanks for spending part of your Saturday with me. Check your registration. GO VOTE! Let’s win this fucking thing.

Same bullshit excuse Elon used in 2022 and 2023 when he said he throttled Starlink because he didn’t believe his products should be used for war. So he built Starshield, which is Starlink for war.

This ad is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

no, you can't use the government's new fraudster tip line to turn in Dear Leader. it's only meant to be used to persecute innocent Somalis. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I explain how this is exactly like what the Nazis used to do to Jews. link is here: bit.ly/4dTEgBH

hey, remember Katie Zacharia? me neither

👀👀👀👀

Lowest approval since Truman is pretty fucking impressive. I think we can do better, though.

I just want to take a second to thank everyone who listens to and voted for @dailybeanspod.com as best News & Politics podcast. We were pioneers of independent media, and we promise to keep supporting those brave journos and citizens that speak truth to power. Thank you all so much! 

ALL MAGATs CHEAT…👇 ALL. OF. THEM. 😎🇺🇸✨

Dems: WOW crazy high turnout, Talarico is going to win! GOP: turnout is collapsing in Texas! No path for Talarico. Guys, it’s day one of early voting. Save the hot takes for at least Thursday. Or election night.

“Trump and Putin have teamed up to murder Ukrainians” is a better headline. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It truly is fucking depressing that the Republican Party could absolutely destroy everything and Democrats MIGHT take the majority. If we weren’t a sick country it would be a complete wipe out.

WE WON! @dailybeanspod.com won the best news and politics podcast AND the People’s Choice Signal Awards! We beat Apple News, ABC, and Paramount (Jon Stewart)! Thank you all for voting. You can listen and subscribe to INDEPENDENT news with swearing FOR FREE! link.podtrac.com/beans

oh look, the Marvelous Mister Measles has been put in charge of "women's health." what could possibly go wrong? thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I ducument all the dumbfuckery that went on in the Donnyverse yesterday. link is here: bit.ly/47uIhZU

every one of Donny's rallies becomes the worst version of Groundhog Day ever, as he repeats the same stupid shit, over and over — but yesterday, he added something new: he called someone a 'shylock.' antisemitic much? thank you for your attention to today's post. link is here: bit.ly/47uIhZU

I can think of a few things I need to report. 1. Trump’s reflecting pool scam 2. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel’s use of government assets for personal matters 3. Kristi Noem’s DHS contracts to friends

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

There’s something seriously wrong with the president of the United States
