Dear Republicans, I know you traditionally have been anti-gay, but your leader has been repeatedly shared his homoerotic ramblings on TV. How do you justify this?

This is where we are

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

I’m old enough to remember his summer book tour, where he claimed his Christian faith had humbled him and vowing that he will lead with love and kindness.

JD Vance calls El-Sayed "a little weasel who should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude"

We have ditched all our plastic food storage containers because of microplastics. I’m 67 years old. Maybe late, but go environment!

This shows the profound ignorance of the republicans running our country

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Will someone, anyone, please stop these stupid, stupid people? They’re killing trees in D.C. They’re destroying historic landmarks. Instead, we’re getting crappy wading pools, whorehouse-level decor and a huge bill for the “improvements.”

Whether you support capital punishment or not, Hegseth’s plan to livestream the Fort Hood killer’s execution is an obscene descent into barbarism. When did America start treating state sanctioned killing as public entertainment? The spectacle is a moral obscenity, and the appetite is even uglier.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

Briefly today I thought I should get a sample ballot and do some research before Election Day…but, no. No, I don’t.

The Kansas GOP attacking Adam Hamilton as a "woke preacher" for a sermon that urged his congregation to live more responsibly as climate change threatens should make every mainliner proud. May every one of us be attacked for caring about the future of the planet and creation.

Trump is selling nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia despite reported US intelligence that the Saudis still want a bomb—while the Trumps have taken billions in bribes from the Saudis. This is Trump corruption at the expense of US national security. Stop the deal.

You don’t see a lot of Paxton yard signs, but the ones out there look like somebody running for student council president

After hearing from constituents who saw construction equipment at the site of Trump’s proposed arch, I drove down to Columbia Island to see for myself. I found workers operating heavy equipment who told me they were conducting archaeological work. My full statement:

I love the first season of law and order. Not yet polished, famous actors now in unassuming roles, like a newborn thoroughbred walking on unsteady legs. You see the beauty before it reaches maturity.

Putting this out there for the timestamp. The bankrupt Kennedy Center will be bulldozed, Trump will acquire the land, and build a hotel with his name on it.

When somebody sides with those we have traditionally been at odds with and against those we have considered allies, it kinda starts to sound like treason.
