I want this lying, sundowning grifter to continue speaking off-the-cuff, emptying his hollow soul into microphones in every swing state he can reach in the next month. I want him out there every day, revealing some fresh thread of malignant, fatuous idiocy. I think he's now a political plague.

A planned 2-year mission coming to an end after more than 22. I'm proud to have had a small part in the science operations of the Swift Telescope since the pre-launch phase right up until my recent retirement.

The reason the White House is so sensitive about Trump and his relationship with Natalie Harp is because, well . . . because it's a bit awkward

Honestly, this is a moment when we need diplomacy that is near art. We have the complete fucking opposite, of course. Rubio just wants to get to Cuba. Witkoff and Kushner are Stoppard characters. And you don't want a dude's first real job to be the hardest job in the world (cuz he sucks).

Again, Bill Pulte is a 38-year-old -- no really, 38 -- who only holds a BA in broadcast journalism and absolutely zero experience in the intelligence field. He has no qualifications for this job at all. Aside from being a psychotic lickspittle to the president.

In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance lectured Appalachians for being lazy bums. He lectured "childless cat ladies" he claimed were unhappy. Now he's lecturing every woman with a white collar job for living a meaningless life. Such a smug, condescending jackass. No wonder everyone hates him.

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office. Why the delay from Mike Johnson? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute learned that the Government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade," dated April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and
edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our
YouTube channel.

I continue to be baffled at how this guy's opinion gets any attention at all. His only claim to fame is knowing Trump back in the day; otherwise he was the guy who showed up on TV once a year to talk about award-winning commercials.

The QAnon folks were making child trafficking conspiracy theories from wayfair furniture ads but here's a picture of the most notorious child sex trafficker with a check from Trump with obvious references to trafficking girls and not a peep out of them.
Alt text: A group of three men are standing outdoors near palm trees, smiling and holding an oversized check. The check is made out to "Jeffrey Epstein" for $22,500, signed with the name "Trump." Faces of two people in the image are blacked out. In the background, people are seated at white tables. Below the photo, handwritten text comments on Jeffrey showing early talents with money and women, selling something “fully depreciated” to Donald Trump for $22,500, and mentions “people skills,” noting the writer handled the deal but did not get money or the girl.

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops. Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.
