It would be nice if the two announcers would stop talking over the technical call-outs from Blue Origin’s Mission Control.

Mr. Zero Empathy
President Trump, with an annoyed look on his face, stands behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office. He is pointedly ignoring the four people behind him who are tending to someone who has suffered a medical emergency and has collapsed to the floor.

The right-leaning legal organization that Sara Albrecht heads is leading the challenge to President Trump’s sweeping tariffs before the Supreme Court this week, underscoring just how much the issue has divided conservatives. nyti.ms/4pcsaHh

Time and again during Joe Biden’s presidency, the US Supreme Court limited what he could do without a clear congressional go-ahead. Will the justices do the same to Donald Trump?
Trump Tariffs Go to a Supreme Court That Thwarted Biden’s Moves
During the last administration, the justices often ruled that the president didn’t have the powers he claimed.

Only 364 days until next Halloween! 🎃 👻 🐈‍⬛
Two panels from The Nightmare Before Christmas: In the top panel, the Mayor shouts “There’s only 365 days left ’til next Halloween!” In the lower panel, a wolf-man corrects him, “364!”

Escaped and infected monkeys? Really?!? This timeline’s script gets less and less believable all the time. Who the heck is writing this crap? 📰
News article with a photo showing part of a crashed 18-wheeler. The back door is ajar and at least one wooden box has fallen out. The article’s heading reads “Truck hauling ‘aggressive’ monkeys carrying herpes and COVID overturns in Mississippi.” Below the photo is the byline and date “By WLBT Staff Published: Oct. 28, 2025 at 2:54 PM EDT | Updated: 2 hours ago.”

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

It’s unusual for me to agree with anything Trump says, but in this one case, I think he nailed it.

DOOCY: What do you see as the biggest difference in diplomacy between Trump and Biden?

ZELENSKYY: Trump has a big chance now to finish this war. President Biden now is not the president

TRUMP: I would say the biggest difference is one is extremely competence and the other is grossly incompetent

Six light blue fractal swirls and six light blue fractal chains converging on a roughly triangular fractal at the center of the image. The background is a medium blue with perhaps just a touch of violet thrown in. The image reminds us that winter is on its way.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

“Fuck you, Make me.”
A picture of John Oliver and his quote: At some point you’re going to have to draw a line. So l’d argue, why not draw it right here? And when they come to you with stupid, ridiculous demands, picking fights that you know you could win in court, instead of rolling over, why not stand up and use four key words they don’t tend to teach you in business school? Not, “OK, you're the boss.” Not, “Whatever you say goes.” But instead, the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away. And that is “Fuck you, Make me.”
