He's been getting too high on his own supply for too long...... He and Trump both, always aggrieved they don't get major awards and press accolades for every move. Rudy got used to the unwarranted lionization after 911, and Trump was born with it. Wotta pair of maroons.

4-D chess master Trump tried his patented Ted-and-Heidi-Cruz maneuver, and he got his wig snatched off.

Every day, as part of the morning ritual, I check weather, traffic, and is he dead yet. If the latter is “no,” I know the country’s going to get a little worse today. I don’t know how, and I don’t know where, but I know people who shouldn’t be dead are going to die, people who should be helped will be abandoned, and…

I think you meant well, but you’re over-generalizing from an experience you had and assuming that that’s what would happen for people if only they would think to do what you did. I think you were lucky, and I’m happy for teenage you, but... you were lucky.

Stop giving Iowans that excuse. The district is not “heavily gerrymandered.” It’s not a trick or a scheme. All of the nation’s heavy gerrymandering happens outside of Iowa, and Iowa’s map mostly follows county boundaries and the wishes of the electorate.

I hate that "at least the unarmed black man didn't get shot" is the best we can hope for in situations like this.

I think Omar’s warm and wonderful welcome home from her constituents at the airport is the real story. It’s the thing that triggered his newest complaint, anyway; notice him jeering at her crowd size? He’s pissed that she won her election by a landslide & her people love her, while he couldn’t win a plurality &…

He doesn’t want us to talk about his failure at the border, his failure in court, his failure with the census thing, his failure to even get a meeting with Iran with or without preconditions, his failure to win hypothetical election polls against any Democrat, his failure to win hypothetical election polls against…

Peck’s column popped up in my newsfeed on Saturday and I read it all the way through. Within its text, one thing became clear to me (me: a 57 year old gay man who went through the early 90s in NY and LA - and all that meant, too): Peck is stuck in a time and place and suffering from arrested development. I’d wager…

Does Trump have ANY friends that aren’t related to him or requiring his largesse? I am constantly amazed at his ability to burn every single fucking bridge, both in front of and behind him, yet maintains the slavish love of the GOP, low-information lunkheads, and Evangelicals.

“... only Republican donors got to see them.... there’s no such thing as a free tank.”

Your daily reminder, also, that while the 18th century was a long time ago and conceptions of morality were different, they were not so radically different that the immorality of slavery could not have been understood. Opposition to slavery was a perfectly respectable political position to hold. In fact, it was such a…

I’ve been raving for a national strike since 2016, but like...no one’s going to do it, because there are too many scabs and people willing to get hired when the entire lower class gets fired.

That’s pretty much all we have in Denver as well.

That’s it!! It’s all a Radical Left-wing Deep State conspiracy! We MADE all those people homeless, just to make Trump look bad.

To paraphrase what someone said on Twitter, we should not concern ourselves with performative outrage from people who screech about socialism and make comparisons to Stalin over efforts to clean up coal plant emissions and expand health care access.

Once I left Kentucky, I decided I was never moving that far (or any further) south ever again.

I love my home state—I do—but it’s the kind of enduring love you have for a relative that you really don’t want to talk to except on holidays. The further south I get, the worse that sense of disconnect becomes, and so I’ve…

What she plans to do next: A book deal, a speaking circuit, and eventually holding office at the Arkansas-state level (most likely the Governorship), which will be achieved entirely on the back of name-recognition, and not actual political or personal value.

...and that recognition, by the way, will boil down to “I…

I haven’t read their bill, but if it doesn’t include anything to make sure that insurance companies still have to cover birth control even after it becomes an OTC then this is likely a play to backdoor undo the ACA’s contraception coverage mandate. As insurance companies very rarely cover OTC medications, some social…
