It is remarkable and astonishing that the entire apparatus of the Republican party -- the entire organization and every single person who is part of it -- has been converted into a cover-up operation to protect a single pedophile rapist. Is that why these Republicans went into politics? Really?

At first, I told everyone that liked this combination it was an abomination. My boss said, "Have you tried it?" I said, "Nope." "Then," he said, "you can't criticize it." So I tried it. Now, I'm a big fan. I order this every time we order, especially in the office

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

GOP: this bill is fucking terrible. It’s going to kill people, explode the deficit, and completely kill the renewable energy market in the US. Also GOP: so anyway, here’s why I’m voting for the bill
Paul Becker (@beckerpa.bsky.social)
Message to the Democratic party: It's now on you to pin this terrible legislation on the Republicans. If you can't message this, then we may as well have only one political party. For us: If you know someone that voted for this bill, and they lost anything they had, we need to do the same.

Thinking right now about that period 14 months ago when lefties were portraying Joe Biden as something akin to a fascist dictator. I took a lot of heat for saying people were being ridiculous and that those attacks on Biden would age extremely poorly if Trump won. And now here we are.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.
