It’s not an either/or choice. What the fuck. Do both. Pass policy and also investigate the shit out of him. Stop letting your enemies dictate the narrative! And they are enemies! Not colleagues. They are at war with the republic whether you’re able to see it or not.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Part of me wants it to happen today (in perpetuity) but part of me wants it to happen the day after the election, where rejection and suffering will be at their peaks. 🤔

Louisiana being in play but Maine being a toss-up is such a weird mindfuck.

🚨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...

Trump would absolutely hate Vance saying “the Trump/Vance administration” Like the rest of the country, Trump too despises Vance.

JD Vance: "We're self-confident men in the Trump/Vance administration. The president has been noticing a lot about the physiques of everybody lately"

I will say if you need AI to tell you why your child is special, you’re probably a really shitty parent? This anecdote is incredibly embarrassing on so many levels.

cool, cool

Showing the kids Hocus Pocus and the witches really give it that extra shine. Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker are stealing every scene from each other in the best way.

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

Thank god I’ve never felt a fraction of the masculine insecurity these people feel every second of their miserable lives.

Trapping the moon in a rainbow sounds like a Bond villain plot.

The metaphor, yes, but it’s also so conservative lizard-brained that the only valuable skill is not even just physical skill, which is what trained curators have, but specifically physical strength. It’s so insecure and fragile and deeply broken. Fuck these assholes

"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by trained curators. Instead, Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They lost control of the artifact and dropped it."

Two more verdicts like this and it still won’t be as much as Meta burned on their “Metaverse” bullshit! Which just means we need more verdicts like this. 49 more.

A judge on Wednesday ordered Meta to pay New Mexico $25 billion after a jury found the company liable for deceiving users about privacy and content moderation policies on Facebook.

Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse: "She has no vision other than to complain about what someone else did to her"

IME, loving others and loving yourself go hand in hand, and it’s very hard to have one without the other. Part of why they reject empathy is because they hate themselves. So much of evangelicalism is performative perfection, hiding and denying how broken you are inside.

Incredibly, Jar Jar Binks’ famous line “Mesa think yousa people gonna die” was ad-libbed! Everyone on set thought it was hilarious so they kept it. Classic Jar Jar.

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase@amythunderjam.bsky.social

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Blexas positive indicator: this speech Blexas negative indicator: Taylor Kitsch not featured on the Clear Eyes Full Hearts tour. We need Tim Riggins for one last play. Blexas forever.

I found this secret way to easily make tons of money and I’ve decided to share it with you!

It turns out that contrary to what social media told you, owning a laundromat is not the easy turnkey solution to your passive-income dreams (and late-capitalism woes): www.wsj.com/business/the...

Has Mike Rogers disavowed Charles Manson? Timothy McVeigh? Hitler? Since I haven’t heard him disavow those people, I will assume he supports them.

James Goodwin@jamesgoodwin.bsky.social

El-Sayed is going to forced to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood at least a dozen times more before the midterms. The point is clearly not the answer. The point is the question. It's basically push-polling.

TIL I’m a left-wing transgender witch. Do we get hats? Is there free coffee at the meetings? Very exciting!

Ted Cruz: "Right now, if you are left-wing transgender witch, you hate Donald Trump"

I am excited for this although since the calvinball court has given blank check approval on all “official” presidential acts, the next dem should simply remove whichever judges they like and replace them. The new court can rebuke and rein in the executive and remain seated and we’re all better off

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

will try to answer these in a piece next week but for now i will say that part of the *point* of court expansion, in my mind, is to create a disequilibrium — a potential race to the bottom — that will force a truce.

If this removal has to be forcible or violent is a separate concern. I don’t want it to be but I won’t shed any tears for them. Thomas and Alito are anti-law and should have been removed years ago at the very least.

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

The thing that draws me to Ossoff isn’t wanting to have a beer with him, but the feeling he might hate these guys more than I do.

oh boy. Mike Collins is in trouble

I don’t want to live in an Armando Iannucci show but this is pretty fun!

OOPS GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon The PAC boosting Collins is "absolutely furious" at the "ridiculous error" made by the buyer, which takes blame and has refunded the money. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."
