Overall…a good day for America. One of the best we’ve had in all year. Celebrated with a second viewing of One Battle After Another.

Saddened by Diane Keaton’s passing. She was one of my favorites. Annie Hall is my favorite movie.The ending gets me every time. Baby Boom is a family favorite…and hits as a daughter of single working mother. Plus I can relate to one of best and funny movie freak outs of all time. RIP to a real one.

They really think people are stupid….if you call it “reform” and not “cut” it will suddenly be different.
BASH: You mentioned $1.5 trillion. $1 trillion of that is to reverse Medicaid cuts that you put in the big beautiful bill
MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid reforms, not cuts.
BASH: It's less spending. You can call it what you want.

I can’t get over this dumpster fire UN assembly. Trump humiliates America in front of the world with that grotesque speech, throws a tantrum along with his lapdogs over a stopped escalator and has the President of France wondering the streets of New York because of his stupid motorcade.

Brian Kilmeade’s forced hostage video-like apology where he says sorry for be too much himself is a far cry from what he deserves. The first video, where he would like to exterminate humans he finds inconvenient to look at or coexist with is who this fucker really is.

What is the meaning of a meatball recipe that says salt and pepper to taste. Really motherfucker. You want me to fry up a little tester. Can you just tell me what I am supposed to feel and think.

Pretty sure the guy advocating straight up murder won’t be fired like Matthew Dowd, but it is Fox and Friends, not MSNBC. I guess corporate sponsors selling home catheters are cool with murdering homeless people.

Wow…these are some truly sick people. Also, it is not “euthanizing”…it is “murdering” people, human beings, many US veterans.
Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

We can’t live in a free society if people are murdered for their political speech or ideology. As the saying goes, no matter how much I despise what you are saying, I’ll fight to death you’re right to say it.

Hi @theatlantic.com Neuroscientist here to tell you this has to be one of your dumbest takes yet…not to mention dangerous. The damage RFKJr has done in a few months will damage health and science in this country for years. Only a completely ignorant moron would compare him to Michelle Obama.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s core strategy for MAHA is the same one Michelle Obama used for “Let’s Move!”—and it will likely fall short for the same reason hers did a decade ago, Tom Bartlett argues.
