Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Barack Obama congratulated Democrats generally. Bill and Hillary Clinton congratulated Zohran Mamdani specifically.
The last posts on the X accounts of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are ones expressing grief about the death of Dick Cheney.
In case anyone was wondering.

The great thing about the Trump endorsement is that even before his terms as president and all the misery attached for blue-state America, there was no more disliked celebrity in New York. Donald Trump was known to New Yorkers as a constant chisler and self-aggrandizing vulgarian.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States has no penis. But at all times and in all matters, you must understand, he is still very special, very powerful and very important. And if he one day does acquire a penis, it will be the best and biggest one.

What are levees doing to protect Chicopee? What happens if they fail?
Far from the rising seas that threaten the coast, people living behind inland levees are facing a climate-fueled risk that is often overlooked, but which could soon bring disaster to their doorstep.

Carlin’s last commandment (4th?); Thou Shalt Keep Thy Religion To Thyself.”
If your god is comfortable standing adjacent to Donald Trump, Chip Roy or even whatever hagiographic version of Charlie Kirk you want to pretend existed, your deity isn't fit to wipe a mortal's ass much less be worshipped.
Behold the dumbest, most sacreligious attempt to change a subject possible.
Behold the dumbest, most sacreligious attempt to change a subject possible.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

So Trump negotiates the mass release of 5,000 Taliban fighters and agrees to end U.S. presence in Afghanistan in 14 months.
Taliban then takes over Afganistan and the Bagram air base.
Trump asks for the air base back.
Taliban says nah.
