Ryan Fazzio, the GOP candidate for governor in CT, has a campaign ad in which a man is in cardiac arrest and Fazio enters the hospital room, says the guy badly needs a tax cut, and shocks him to life with defibrillator paddles. Dumb ad but apt depiction of the GOP's approach to health care.

In the early afternoon of 9/11, needing to escape from the news but not really knowing what to do, my mom and I went to Kohl's to get me a sport coat.

Today's Fauci hearing provides insight into why Rand Paul's next-door neighbor couldn't stop himself from assaulting the senator.

Much discourse on X about the dearth of conservatives in academia, but I'm not clear what is meant by "conservative" in this context? Is it scholars who admire the ideas of Edmund Burke? Is it someone who argues for intelligent design or dismisses climate change? Is it an enthusiastic Trump voter?

I really dislike when people use the word "delicious" to describe something that isn't food.

From descriptions of Donald Trump, stated between 2015 and 2018, by Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina.

A race-baiting, xenophobic bigot
The Islamic State’s “man of the year”
The death of the GOP’s relationship with Hispanic voters
A death blow to the GOP’s relationship with women
The world’s biggest jackass
A wrecking ball
A salesman of fear
A politician whose ideas are gibberish
A politician who is incapable of representing a mattress company
A poor representation of a Republican
A president who is unfit for office
A president who sometimes crosses the line
A Twitter user whose tweets are sometimes beneath the office of the presidency
A man who has a blind spot
A thoughtful person
A good person
A strong person
A golfer with an accurate drive and an athletic swing
A president doing a great job
The best hope in decades for peace
A potential recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize

If Trump wants to enjoy his Qatari bribe jet, I guess that's fine and I'm certainly not at all concerned about his safety, but I do feel for the staff who have been forced to fly on a bribe jet that lacks important security measures. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/u...

I do enjoy how the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become the perfect analogy of the Trump administration. Shoddy, ill-considered work leavened with a heavy dose of good, old-fashioned corruption and buffed with a bullshit PR polish leaves everything worse than it was before.

This otherwise great NY Times story about John Roberts intervening to stop an Obama clean energy plan contains one laughably false statement: "Hillary Clinton was the strong favorite to win the presidency later that year." Strong favorite to be nominated? Sure. But not to win the election.

Watching Russell Vought testify before the House Budget Committee. I despise the man and everything he's done in his role as budget director, but I take heart from the fact that he seems like a completely miserable, self-loathing human being.

Trump will spend the rest of his life boasting of an overwhelming victory in Iran. Repeating an obvious lie until people begin believe it's true is his only move. It's amazing how far it has gotten him.

NY Times headline following Trump's deranged, frightening social media post: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman Th nation's leading newspaper is simply incapable of meeting this moment.

Mike Cummings @mikecummings.bsky.social · 05/04/2026
I'm happy they rescued the airman. The fact that it's headline-leading national news suggests a country and government that isn't prepared to accept the inevitable human cost of a ground war in Iran.

If I were a Supreme Court justice, I wouldn't dignify Solicitor General's absurd, half-assed arguments about birthright citizenship by asking questions. I would repeatedly interrupt the argument to ask him if he'd like a throat lozenge.

In a bid to reopen the Straight of Hormuz and further punish the Iranian regime, President Trump is threatening to pursue upwards of a dozen off-shore windmill projects in the Persian Gulf just miles from the country's coastline.

Donald Trump can launch a war of choice against a nation of 93 million people without any coherent justification and never suffer a moment of shame or regret about it. Meanwhile, I have an anxiety attack if I feel the tone of an email I sent to a colleague was a little off.

It's always a little shocking to see the extent to which Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh -- as well as the other GOP operative son the court -- are willing to handover the keys to our entire system to a Republican president, even one who is so clearly unfit for office. They're just nihilists.

This is a helpful breakdown of yesterday's shooting. It clearly puts the lie to the administration's bullshit framing of events. It also, I think, casts serious doubt on the notion that the ICE goon could plausibly have believed his life was in danger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQCv...

Gotta wonder how last night's election results will affect, say, John Roberts' views on the constitutionality of Trump's tariffs. As a powerful GOP operative Roberts and the other rightwing judges must see that ending the tariff nonsense is in the longterm interest of their party.

It's times like this when it's worth recalling how the free-speech heroes from the reactionary center wildly exaggerated the threat to speech from the left while downplaying the threat from the right. This fool even argued that Trump's election would be a net gain for free speech!
