Close up of jon Stewart’s desk on the daily show from the second row
my aunt is the special guest on the daily show with jon stewart tonight so i got a vip ticket to go see her :) may be the coolest thing ive ever done
felt exactly the same way. last 10 derailed the first two hours and honestly rendered it meaningless spectacle
i am a pretty partisan dem and this stuff is absolutely infuriating lol like good messaging is the LEAST i could ask for from the party right now and they’re failing on all fronts
another one of those things that is so insane it just doesn't break through in the media. you could zero out the entire Navy and not cut that much

William S. Hart in the introduction of THE BARGAIN (1914).

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest
What should we be asking our reps for?
i think that people in the modern era systematically underestimate what the government is capable of. e.g., the supreme court is not gone for generations. it is gone until there is a Congressional majority to reform it.
it genuinely makes my blood boil how all these fuckers in the senate talk about the founders, the framers—they laud themselves as their rightful heirs. but when they're asked to put their political careers or their lives at risk to defend the constitution, they just surrender without a peep
you hear there's a truck called gravedigger and right away you're thinking, that sounds like a pretty imposing vehicle. but you don't know the half of it
I've heard reports that the military branches paused sexual assault prevention and response trainings. That's horrific, against the law, and disastrous for our ability to recruit, retain, and protect women. Secretary Hegseth, you have some explaining to do. Stay tuned for my oversight letter.
i just don’t understand his endgame. best case scenario, a liberalism resurgence skewers his name for the rest of history for trying to restart nazism. Worst case scenario, his own supporters kill or support violence against his wife and children. ???
So what can you guys do about it?
I hope you don’t, I had a bunch of your tweets bookmarked for research purposes 😔 i understand your reasoning why tho…
