Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

AND THE WORM TURNED “The smallest worm will turn, being trodden on.”

If Orbán can lose, so can Trump.
That’s the story.

I’ve been to those crossroads in Mississippi where he sold his soul to the devil. Anything to get out out of that racist hellhole. 😘 No wonder the blues and rock and roll were born.

If you watch this and then follow it with a viewing of our current president's recent disassociated rant to schoolchildren about Biden's autopen, well, you have a perfect microcosm of the steep American descent into ignominy.

This conjures a memory of the best mayor NYC ever had. Here's the Little Flower, reading the funny pages to kids on the radio and loving his job as Mamdani clearly does.

Popping the corn. 😄

So many future prosecutions. It will hard for our courts to keep up.

And you did it so well. 👊🏻

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

Stevens to RFK Jr: "To top it off, Mr Secretary, I got a copy of HR-944. You know what it is? It's your impeachment articles, sir. You have abused your office, you have gutted America's public health! You should be ashamed."

Mackenzie Scott for the Nobel Peace Prize.

#Hogsbreath is too stupid to be the Secretary of Defense!

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

We are the human traffickers. Our government.

Yes, we are. Every one of those immigrants need to be brought back. Let’s deport Trump and his whole family instead.

AND THE WORM TURNED “The smallest worm will turn, being trodden on.”

There are moments when something shifts—not gradually, but all at once.
Hungary just showed the world that even deeply entrenched power can fall. And it changes the way everything else looks—from Trump to the broader authoritarian movement.
And the Worm Turned

Morons. 🤬

Just to go back to basics:

I once worked on a (winning) presidential campaign.

Something too obvious for anyone to mention was: "Don't get into a fight with the Pope over who knows more about Jesus."

These people are morons.

AUDIO: AND THE WORM TURNED The worm has turned.

The worm has turned.

I’ve recorded the audio version of this piece—on Viktor Orbán’s defeat, the collapse of “inevitability,” and what it means for Trump and the broader authoritarian movement.

If you’d rather listen, it’s here:

Hegseth is now comparing Trump to Jesus

ICE agent charged with two felonies for pointing his gun at motorists during Operation Metro Surge Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said a nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the surge.

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

So true. Thank you. For me as well.

AND THE WORM TURNED “The smallest worm will turn, being trodden on.”

We were told they would never lose.
They just did.

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich

Well, today we're taxing the rich...
