Any cradle Catholic would tell you in an instant that’s not a Catholic church. And no way the publisher didn’t show him the jacket design for approval before it went to press.

First house in 1988 when I was 34. The mortgage interest rate was 10.4%. The only reason I could do it was because my grandfather passed away a few years earlier and my mother gave me down payment money.

Same. It’s intellectually lazy. It masquerades as knowing and superior while exempting the cynic from actually doing anything. It’s convenient but joyless.

Why doesn’t a reporter collect all the various Trump signatures along with the “forged” one on one piece of paper and ask Leavitt to ID the forgery if it’s so obvious

The first thing I thought was how weird it was that he drew the breasts so small and was surprised at how un-lewd the doodle is. I expected something curvier and more lascivious from him. Then it dawned on me. This is a girl.

I remember these so vividly! I was just thinking about them the other day. David Rees also did a series called My New Fighting Technique is Unstoppable that’s really funny.

During unscripted speech, the most gigantic tell that the person's next utterance will be a big, honking lie is the use of the word "frankly."

Oh my goodness I love beans. Do you ever get Ranch Gordo beans? They are just the most delicious beans on earth. So many different kinds, interesting heirloom beans from Mexico and South America. Can’t get enough in our house!

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that he passed away. Yes, I started reading his blog around 2000 maybe? Always appreciated his calm, measured takes on things. Good writer, sweet cat lover. RIP Kevin Drum.

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I've seen a disturbing number of comments suggesting it's pointless to call red state electeds. With all due respect: What the hell are you doing? We need Dems to fight on every front, but you're going to discourage folks from spending the 5 minutes it takes to make their voice heard? Please.

Democrats need to have an aggressive and coordinated media strategy involving all of their members, surfacing derogatory information about Republicans, enumerating the problems they’ve failed to address, and filling the news hole with fresh complaints. newrepublic.com/post/190337/...

Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat
Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on California: We have fire crews in the danger zones. The Canadian military is now on full alert to help. That’s what we do—we help our neighbors in times of crisis. The fact that Trump isn’t there.. is shocking but this is what criminal grifters do.

The January 6th attacks weren’t just a dark day—they were a violent, harrowing warning that our freedoms and democracy are under siege. We can never forget, downplay, or excuse the gravity of what happened. Our democracy demands action, and we must stand firm to protect it!
