#Shutdown
Rabbit: Well, Dems caved on the shutdown. Rabbit: But wait, what if it's actually good strategy? Rabbit: I'll bite. Explain. Rabbit: The House of Representatives has been out of office for weeks. If they keep it shut now the G.O.P. must accept blame for the shutdown. But if they open it, boom, the votes are there to release the Epstein Files. Rabbit: Are the Epstein Files the new Jack Smith, who was the new Robert Mueller, who was the new Merrick Garland? Rabbit: It's gonna work this time, I'm sure of it!

What a revolting development!

George comes into the kitchen carrying a warty gooseneck squash. Esme looks up from her cereal bowl. George: Check it out - this is the only thing to escape the depredations of the squirrels. George: What should we do with it? Think we can eat it? Esme: Ew no Esme: If even the squirrels don't want it, I think you should chuck it. The warty gooseneck squash sits atop the trash in the garbage can. Squash: Well, this is undignified.

#SNAP
The Orange Meanie is showing off his Infinity Gauntlet to Toad. Orange Meanie: The court says I have to do the whole SNAP so here it is, I'm gonna do the whole snap. Toad: Thanos had some good ideas. Orange Meanie: The Infinity Stones aren't real, but the gold is. If you don't use 24-karat gold it doesn't look good. Toad: The hungry children will be relieved to hear that. Orange Meanie: Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, 'freak out' when they see the quality and beauty. Toad: I'm sure that's why they're freaking out.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench. She's expected to rule on a request for a preliminary injunction governing the use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

Good morning. Back in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, who is expected to rule in 20 minutes on the use of force by federal agents against protesters and journalists in Chicago.

I'd like to thank modern technology for bringing back skips in music. In the old days a skip was mechanical, dust, hair, scratches, or something. Now it's a message notification, alert, wifi wobble, network lag, or your device deciding it has something better to do for a moment.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The premise of generative AI is that so much has been written, painted, drawn, and composed that we no longer need to make anything new and can be happy with regurgitations of everything from here on out.

Tanuki: Republicans and their pet causes really got beat in voting yesterday! Fox: How's it feel to win all the unimportant things? Tanuki: It wasn't just that the Dems won. They wrecked the G.O.P. like Gozilla versus Bambi. Fox: It's just the typical pendulum swinging. Tanuki: It makes me wonder if the 2024 election really was rigged.... Fox: Hey, that's our thing. Stay in your lane!

Bulldog: I was never trained to be a warrior. I was trained to be a soldier. Bulldog: Too many people don't know the difference. Bulldog: Soldiers are citizens who train and work as professionals. Warriors are people who enjoy fighting and the culture of war. Bulldog: Historically in wars between soldiers and warriors, it goes badly for warriors. Bulldog: So Hegseth and the Republicans want us to be weaker. Bulldog: This is what happens when you elect small, soft men.

"I never thought squirrels would eat MY face!"

Two jack-o-lanterns and a warty gooseneck squash are on a stoop. Jack-O-Lantern: Here comes an evil spirit! A squirrel peeks into the panel. Jack-O-Lantern: Now you'll see how vicious and horrible it is when it sinks its fangs into your warty flesh! The squirrel is going to town eating the first jack-o-lantern. Jack-O-Lantern: AIEE! My beautiful face! The squirrel is leaving. Jack-O-Lantern: This is unfair. Warty squash: He seems nice.

"The big fat lie, though, is that the image of the all-American family, which is maintained at the expense of the rest of the world, will protect those within it. In reality, the American family is not a safe place in America, and everyone knows it.

#Nazis
(Two penguins wearing costumes are talking. One has a Red Skull mask, one has a Loki helmet.) Penguin: People are looking at Border Patrol's Gregory Bovino and calling him a cosplay Nazi. Penguin: People forget how much the original Nazis liked to play dress-up. Penguin: They loved to get gussied up in their leather greatcoats with their Totenkopfe and their Hugo Boss shit. Penguin: They thought it made them look cool while they murdered children, women, and starving old men. Penguin: Nope! They're ACTUAL NAZIS. Penguin: So people dressed like Nazis aren't goofing around like your friend going to ComicCon as Thanos.

#republicanshutdown
Least Weasel: The Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying Republicans are in charge of government. We aren't. Not in the Senate. Sixty votes control the Senate, not a bare majority. Least Weasel: We Republicans may control the White House. Trump may have fired everyone in the executive branch who isn't slavishly loyal to him. We may have majorities in the legislature and we've taken over most of the courts, including the Supreme one. Least Weasel: I'm never calling the House back and we've bulldozed the White House and it's all your fault. Least Weasel: I hope you feel terrible.
