“We’re working around the clock to ensure that justice is served and also as part of the oversight to figure out why justice has been delayed for so long,” Johnson said. (Politico 10/21/25)

Our national debt now equals our GDP. Interest paid on that debt is now nearly a trillion per year. DOGE, despite thousands of lost American jobs, failed to reduce any of this.

Who says cartilage doesn't heal? This is an ad for Miracle Ear. Out of decency, he really should cover up that pharyngeal vulva.

Finally, a clear message explaining what’s worth fighting for against Trump Republicans and their cruel, sociopathic cuts.
"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."
This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Our government is officially seized up, Trump is calling for the (now unpaid) National Guard to take over large cities, we're sending $20 billion to Argentina, enabling it to ship soybeans to China, RFKjr is undermining public health, and the Dow is up 119 and the Nasdaq 25. We're all nuts here.

So much for free market dynamics. How does it feel to be an Intel, or U.S. Steel competitor, knowing the US government has its thumb planted on the scale? Madness.

“I wouldn’t say [Putin and Zelenskyy] are ever going to be best friends, but they’re doing OK, and we’re just going to see,” Trump said. (Politico)
"They're doing ok"? Russian bombs fall, unabated. Stunning that the world holds its breath, waiting for the next nugget to drop from this nincompoop.

Donald Trump is not a political story, it’s a crime story. And understanding him does not depend on political science, but psychology.

So a government drowning in trillion-dollar deficits would borrow $150 billion more at 4.5% interest rates that taxpayers will be paying forever, in order to compensate us for higher tariff prices that they deny are actually happening. Makes sense.
