Reasonable people must have broken into and started anti-propagandizing the Times’ Headline Office.
That dude looks angry
It’s really shocking to everyone without a frontal cortex and functioning eyes.
Or shoot them in the dark, like Kubrick had to when Brando showed up late and overweight.
So Anton is just another in a long line of people who have spent their lives auditioning for a front row seat in Hell.
Trump is an empty vessel. This is Project 2025. You’re not wrong about the ego part.
That’s hot
X and X, for the eyes.
Different joint sizes. Interesting.
O’Brien did say “all right” after she replied with that word salad, which qualifies as “major pushback” for the big media outlets.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
My favorite sentence in the New York Times explainer on Mamdani and socialism.
Noem: “Words, words, words so I don’t have to acknowledge that’s exactly what we’re doing.” O’Keefe: “All right.”
“All” is doing a lot of work here, considering all the ways in which myriad people with far more sinister or negligent goals have contributed to the erosion of the Republic.
Josh wrote that (especially) Grant created a new type of mobile warfare, but that wasn’t what made Grant special. That was what made Sherman special. What made Grant special was his doggedness and his ability not to be bothered by what happened yesterday (as early at Shiloh, for example).
Get on it, Jake Tapper! (We know you know how.)
If he means his death, we know.
But even with the current map, Democrats are underrepresented. By proportion, they should have 3 of the 8 seats. If the 435 didn’t exist, MO would have 13 seats (using cube root rule). Five (5) would go to Democrats. Winner-take-all in the House is anti-democratic.
You could try to be more cartoonishly evil than this but it’d be difficult.
Or, you know, sanctioning Russia.
I don’t think that’s what he’s promoting. With proportional representation in that graphic, each party would send two representatives to the House. But PR would promote third parties, too.
I couldn’t agree more. Proportional representation - along with a lift of the House’s silly 435 cap - probably provides more bang for the buck than any other change we could make to the Republic. (Others are voting access & campaign finance law along with expanding the damn Court.)
Our gerrymandered congressional maps are creating all kinds of problems. Redistricting assassin Dave Daley has a solution. Watch him explain on an all new LP Podcast, out NOW: https://youtu.be/k-bL8JHdoJQ
He turned a triple somersault after these photos. Take that, Libs!
They absolutely did not sign up for that.
Not getting the “warfighters” dig. I’m going to guess you refused to follow as many lawful, albeit stupid orders as I did: zero.
If listeners and readers of NPR don’t understand that Congress is controlled by Republicans, maybe they should spent some time watching Schoolhouse Rock videos. Point is that I agree with the public making that distinction but I don’t know that I need Steve & friends doing it.
He’s this administration’s Emily Post!
It’s these daily tidbits that need to be posed to Bill Cassidy - and the other senators that voted to confirm him - in question form.

Does he have a pony that can do a trick other than this one?
She probably didn’t post video of the interview because the President hates publicity.
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
A funny part of getting older is watching younger folks discover long-inhabited lands. It’s a tradition. JLC has always been hot, and cool, people.
He’s waiting for Jesus’s return so he can ask why He jammed all Charlie’s facial features into a tiny circle in the middle of his oversized face.
Is there any major news network which has someone with the chops to write a think-piece on the failing health of a president? Someone ask Jake Tapper if he knows anyone.
I’ve heard Maytag is going to do the same so you can chat with other washing machines.
Damn. Wax those brows, girl.
That’s not hyperbole
The upside is it’s a whistleblower complaint and Chuck Grassley will be all over it. Sigh.
Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.
Don’t you mean especially Sherman? The Confederates had no answers for Sherman’s army when it marched to the sea; cutting supply lines had no effect. It was a living thing. I’ve always known Grant’s strength to be unwavering aggression and drive. Not creative as much as more determined than anyone.
With the AJC dropping its print edition, I feel compelled to share one of the greatest moments in print design history
You know, that’s a record. Somebody didn’t take or doesn’t care about Records training
Am I wrong to find the last sentence the funniest?
He doesn’t need to conditionalize that shit
Very fair. Still, it’s hard to overemphasize how feeble Union generals were in battle until Grant took the helm.
The majority doesn’t believe democracy is a sincerely held belief.
As if Teddy would have had anything to do with Trump.
How could anyone who has a case against the government that comes before Bove know they’re getting a fair hearing?
To be fair, who could have seen that coming.
I wasn’t able to get my NP pass where planned to visit this summer and was going to instead get it at the Yosemite gate, but nobody was there to collect it - or verify I had purchased a $2, 3-day pass. The NP pass would have been $80.
The Times’ headline-writing department was about to dial your number to hire you before you gave up the act.
It’s not just a word, it’s a way of life (if you could call perpetual subservience a life).
I can’t stomach anymore Biden 2024 Old Guy energy. Please, no.
It would be so cool if the Delta guys crashed that thing and gave Wormer and Trump what they deserve
If only that were to happen from people going there from Bedminster and Palm Beach.
I’m so distracted I forgot about the something something files.
Knowing nothing more about Portugal’s president: Can we trade for him?
I think Trump and the GOP have given a hypothetical Democratic House majority in 2027 all the justification they need to negotiate on nothing. For me, pragmatism is dead. As Sherman said, the remedy our enemies have chosen is war, so let us give them all they can want. No interest in negotiations.
Disregard. You remembered it later. Enjoyed the interview with Preet.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social His name is Anthony, Tom. The mean, omnipotent little kid is Anthony. Donald Trump is Anthony, with the difference is that his cabinet members could simply resign and gain a shred of dignity.
“Today, I learned how to walk through a crowd of cowards.”
It’s one of the situations like in that book, To Serve Man. The first strong gust will show the back of that dreadfully stupid banner reads “to be fired” or “sent to the scrapyard” or simply “LOL.” This is all a cookbook, but without the mystery.
Forget that. I’ll bet it all and whatever the guy next to me has that it never happened, Alex.
Add another thing to the list of things Trump destroys
HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:
So much winning. Please, Sir, no more winning.
How did they “allow” themselves to be disrespected? By not refusing to follow a legal order, risking an Article 15 hearing or worse, needlessly making their lives more difficult to appease some person on social media? Going out on a limb to say they didn’t sign up to cosplay in the mad king’s play.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "Mr President, I invite you see your big beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor because you are really the transformational president of the American worker, along with the American flag and President Roosevelt."
Not a soul in sight
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Almost every day there’s a Trump scandal that skates by that in any other moment of presidential history would launch endless follow-up stories, congressional investigations, and sink an administration. I zeroed in on just two of them from this week: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/a-watergat...
“President” probably needs to be changed to “A**clown,” while whomever is editing is in there.
I agree with him that our country is in danger.
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
Trump is keeping his right hand below the table so the camera can't see it
They’re heftier so you need arm strength
A “tariff rebate check” is like setting your kitchen on fire and then mailing yourself a bucket of water. There's an easier way to avoid the burn.
Save that superlative, Jon. You’ll need it for a subsequent mind-numbingly stupid move later today.
The upsides are that it doesn’t have a shift button because it only types in ALL CAPS and with one swipe you can select which incoherent, hate-filled, grammar-sparse comments you wish to insert.
I was thinking about a bathroom full of files about something, but now the only thing in my brain is what Krasnov thinks about Taylor and Travis.
Cancer, if you’re listening, we have a candidate for you.
Yount. Damn autocorrect strikes again! Damn you, Frajer!!!!
To be fair, she didn’t claim the second and third sentences were mutually inclusive.
I’m not sure deploying with your unit and following legal orders is submissiveness any more than paying taxes or stopping a red lights. The implication that NG is equivalent to or even in the same category as masked ICE thugs - which is where I would agree with you - is dubious.
Such high praise! Did he go potty by himself, too?
As a fed, it simultaneously drives me nuts that you didn’t initial the strikeouts and that I notice that you didn’t initial the strikeouts. It’s a curse. I even do it in journal entries, bird count logs, grocery lists. I need help.
Sounds like something King George used to say.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
The Onion just issued a C&D order to NBC News to make it stop stealing its headlines. To wit: “leaned into his branding skills.” He could try anytime now to lean into being to even the most minute degree a serious adult instead of the most unserious president in US history.
The waste, fraud, and abuse with these clowns is disgusting.
Way too much for my pea brain to unpack
These AI products are so not ready for prime time. And we are boiling our planet and pillaging the world’s intellectual property to let them loose on the world.
#priorities
Groceries is a cool word.
Just take the L, Dan. Now we can move along.
