In light of Trump's duplicity and collusion with Russian aggression, more towns should add the flag of Ukraine to their municipal displays, imho.

Obama roasted Trump’s gaudy White House makeover with a Cheesecake Factory joke. Republicans somehow decided the restaurant was the victim. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!

Scott Bessent was a good little toady and pretended that Obama's “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” was a swipe at the Cheesecake Factory. Bessent knows it wasn't, but he has to smack his hands together and play along.

I can't unsee the resemblance when Ramaswamy is on the TV.

I think that the next frontier in defamation law should be against the use of "A.I." fakes of politicians in political advertisements. They are 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 false, and therefore meet the "actual malice" standard in 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘷. 𝘚𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘯. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Trump's campaign pitch includes that he "saved Christmas". If he did, he saved it for himself. "Keep Trump in Christmas" isn't exactly an inspiring religious theme. www.trumpstore.com/collections/...

Left: President Trump says that if Abdul El-Sayed wins he'll end Christmas Right: Abdul El-Sayed celebrating Christmas with his team, picking a tree, and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas My view: Trump, is trying to turn religious difference into suspicion and prejudice into a political weapon

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

Amy Acton's mother is, of course, the worst possible reference for making accusations *against* Amy Acton.

The quips from Obama are straight 🔥 today... 😂 📺 bsky.app/profile/atru...

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

I am a teacher. I literally do this every day and have for 16 years.

"Cathleen Kaveny, a professor of law and theology at Boston College, told NCR that the bishops' appearance alongside Trump so close to the midterm elections was 'a highly imprudent act. ... This looks like it's a calculated political act and endorsement ..." www.ncronline.org/news/white-h...

Yeah but BENGHAZI

To say the least— Not a good look, @usccbofficial.bsky.social

Trump ran for president to give himself immunity from his many crimes, increase his net worth exponentially by obscenely profiting off the presidency, and ensure that he could get away with cheating on his taxes in the past, present and future. Oh, and to build a ballroom.

Corey Lewandowski is under investigating for not giving Trump a taste

This is a lesson (about not choosing to vote) which unfortunately could have been learned based on pre-2024 results, and will still not be learned by too many people.

"The past two years are all the proof you need that sitting out an election because the better candidate happens to not be perfectly to your liking is completely stupid and self-destructive."

A counterpoint to @aoc.bsky.social's endorsement of reading will soon be forthcoming from the GOP, no doubt.

I'm not a professional theologian, but if anyone told me that you could have "Christianity" without "empathy" for others, I would suggest that they go back and read some of the basics - the Beatitudes (bible.usccb.org/bible/matthe...), Matthew 25 (bible.usccb.org/bible/matthe...), etc.

My ‘I don’t want trans people dead’ T-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

"We all lose when POTUS commandeers a public institution & turns it into a monument to himself. It matters when Trump tears down the East Wing or shutters the Kennedy Center. And the litigation to stop him from destroying those institutions is a key front in fight over the limits of executive power"

Basically the argument I was making yesterday, writing about … uh … Abdul El-Sayed.

Cornyn on Starlink being throttled in Ukraine: "I don't believe that Elon Musk would do this without at least the acquiescence of the White House. I think it's frankly shameful. I think we should be supporting the victim, not the aggressor."

Vance says "we are not going to attack someone based on anonymously sourced story" - man, you said Haitians were eating pets based on nothing. A big problem for the Trump administration is that there are no clean hands. At this point, everyone looks corrupt or a hypocrite. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"Donald Trump has given us a gift. By siding with Vladimir Putin against Ukraine, he has forced us to reaffirm our values as Americans. ... This is not who we are and even those who voted for him, can no longer deny he is compromised, ..." newjerseyglobe.com/national/opi...

Damn straight. Preach, brother! "Congressman @repmcgovern.bsky.social: I'm a progressive Democrat because I'm Catholic" www.ncronline.org/opinion/gues...

These MAGA clowns must think that there will be a Nobel Peace Prize for Putin and Trump for ending the war in Ukraine. I think the Nobel Committee learned their lesson with the one awarded to Kissinger for ending the Vietnam War. Never again.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood trauma crosses every line of human decency. The ad circulated without disclosing who was behind it. His campaign initially dodged responsibility, then Vivek admitted it was his and plans to spend $4 million to promote it.

Putin literally trying to erase Ukrainian identity and history. "Russian strike damages Ukrainian archive holding 15 million publications dating back to 1917." hromadske.ua/en/war/27280...

Trump not only isn't reluctant to have the United States of America take the side of dictators who are attacking or threatening democracies, he's actually thrilled to do it.

The attack ad against Acton is another in a long list of right-wing gotchas that have blown up in their face -- Eric Schmitt's attack on Jack Smith, the conspiracy that Talarico was in rehab, Tommy's heckling of El-Sayed, etc etc. Their echo chambers keep convincing them to do incredibly dumb shit

Trump and his lawyers forgot an important rule -

Energy Secretary Wright is campaigning with Ken Paxton today in Texas. A reminder that government officials partaking in campaign events should not be normal.

In a just world, showing that the supposed "defender" against Hamas was actually funding them, to sow division among the Palestinians, would make a difference.

If that actually happened he was performing really badly. You're supposed to identify all three animals (not four) and the tester doesn't propose any names.

This is not the content for which I "followed" @pastemagazine.bsky.social. Not that this has come up in conversation with anyone I know, but I wonder why they only recommend this product for your "gay friend", as opposed to anyone else you know who might be interested in this. Just sayin' ...

It's like listening to an 8-year-old breathlessly recount their afternoon playing Minecraft

Abdul El-Sayed is not, in fact, "from that part of the world." He was born in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. He's an American, no matter how much it makes the bigots cry
