Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."
if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test

democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up

shutdown deal per AXIOS:
republicans get: government reopens and party avoids political consequences for refusing to make health care affordable
democrats get: seven beans, an old case logic CD wallet (empty), a coupon for 15% off Busch Gardens, one spiced pumpkin scented candle, a 6-pack of Zima

if it turns out Democrats “negotiated” a “deal” that allows DONALD TRUMP to SEND OUT CHECKS WITH HIS NAME ON THEM I think we would have to seriously investigate the possibility that chuck schumer is a GOP manchurian candidate and the code word that activates him is “ballroom”
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

how fucking embarrassing for chuck schumer that he didn’t endorse the democratic nominee for mayor. dude is begging for a primary and it doesn’t even have to be AOC. as we learned tonight it could be an assemblyman no one’s heard of from queens. schumer should be shaking in his boots tonight.

if you needed another reason to go vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social today just consider that with one simple 30-second act you can make a man worth $500 billion sad. just imagine elon sobbing at dinner tonight over his ketamine and nitrogen pills and hamburger helper and let that motivate you
Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

tomorrow a reporter should tell Mike Johnson and James Comer that Joe Biden said “I don’t know who he is” regarding one of his pardons and ask if the president’s mental infirmity renders his pardons null and void then say “actually that was trump” and just see what happens
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

trump thinks the “insurrection act” is a secret cheat code written on the back of the constitution in invisible ink that lets him do whatever he want without any judicial oversight and there’s not even the faintest pushback from the professional journalist sitting across from him
O'DONNELL: What does that mean -- 'send more than the National Guard?'
TRUMP: Well, if you had to send in the Army or the Marines, I'd do that in a heartbeat. We have a thing called the Insurrection Act. I could use that immediately & no judge can even challenge you on that. If I wanted to I could

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?
NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

this is probably an unpopular take but I don’t think calling trump a “wrecking ball” or talking about the history or sanctity of the white house is gonna matter to people. it’s not that trump is “wrecking” politics (many want it wrecked). It’s “why?” And “for who?” He’s doing it for himself.

as a comedy writer something I love about these protests is how many genuinely creative and funny bits there are. the cava bags, this text chain. even a sign as simple as “honk if you’re not in the epstein files” really tickled me. very good stuff all around.
