He was a Whopper, I was a McRib—back for a limited time, only at participating locations. He told me to "have it your way," I was content enough to say "I'm lovin' it." Could I really be his Burger Queen? He doesn't have a worm in his brain by the way. So the memes are wrong, the ones about the worm

Sorry but it's extra funny the NYT is running a glamour profile on RFKs mistress/reporter the day after people were going to the mattresses defending their ethics surrounding the Epstein cover up

Media literacy is low overall but it’s also very high among a lot of people now and we’re not stupid enough to believe that ~the rules of journalism~ - especially at powerful institutions like the NYT - are real anymore. They obviously put their finger on the scale or let up when they want to.

They should study journalists’ brains like they do with football players after they die.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

Jesus put this guy in a fuckin museum on the moon already.
Schumer reached out to leading presidential contenders to try and mute criticism of the deal, calling Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear, JB Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom.

While Schumer voted against it, the eight Dems behind the shutdown deal said the minority leader was aware of their plan. trib.al/lcNlGik

it's a real shame there wasn't just a Democratic president with control of federal law enforcement for 4 years, otherwise it would be pretty fuckin outrageous that he didn't find this
A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

Haha, you gotta be shitting me.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

Keeping Chuck Schumer is a god-tier commitment to losing.
