"Feed kids. Fix roads. Fund hospitals." is one of the best campaign slogans I've seen in a while.
campaign graphic from Aftyn Behn (TN-07 congressional candidate). It reads: "Vote Aftyn for Congress: Feed kids. Fix roads. Fund hospitals."

in case you didn't "notice", the VP went out of his way to use an antisemitic dog whistle while brushing aside questions about potential antisemitism of a staffer.
JD Vance post on X: "Sloan Rachmuth is a "journalist" who has decided to obsessively attack a staffer in his 20s because she doesn't like the views of his father. Every time I see a public attack on Buckley it's a complete lie. And yes, I notice ever person with an agenda who unfairly attacks a good guy who does a great job for me." the post is a quote-repost of @SloanRachmuth. Her post says: 🚨Today, we learned that Tucker Carlson’s brother idolizes Nick Fuentes. Racism and antisemitism is a Carlson family trait. Is Tucker’s son Buckley, who serves as JD Vance’s top aide also a vile bigot? America deserves to know how deep the Carlson’s family ethnic and religious hatred runs. excerpt from: the Anti Defamation League article, "Coded Hate: Extremists Weaponize Seemingly Innocuous Content to Promote Bigotry" The excerpt says: "Noticing: Around 2019, antisemitic and extremist users online began using the concept of “noticing” to describe when people finally “notice” and assert that Jews are purportedly all-powerful or nefarious, or when they “notice” that someone in a position of power is Jewish. It is believed to have been popularized by a Telegram account called “The Noticer.” In 2022, the hashtag #TheNoticing trended on X as a result of a coordinated 4chan campaign.

My "I don't drive OJ's Bronco" campaign video has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my video.

so is it illegal now to say negative things about a famous person who died? should this person, who is baselessly saying that Robert Redford was / should be arrested and facing a tribunal for crimes, lose their job? Can someone just explain the rules to me please?
a truth social post where the text of the posts says "REDFORD IS ON THE LIST" and the image is a screenshot of part of a chart of celebrities, who are all marked as "arrested and executed" or "arrested and awaiting tribunal." The list includes Robert Redform, Miley Cyrus, Richard Gere, Rashida Tlaib, Michael Moore, Nicole Kidman and many others.

Only condemning political violence when your side is the victim is not a condemnation of political violence.
politico headline from august 2017: Trump fails to condemn white supremacists in statement on Charlottesville violence headline and subhead from the washington post in October 2024: Trump refuses to denounce threats to FEMA, doubles down on falsehoods Trump declined to condemn violent threats to Federal Emergency Management Agency workers providing relief to Americans impacted by Hurricane Helene. newsweek headline and subhead from may 2025: Trump Says He's Considering Pardons for Gretchen Whitmer Kidnap Plotters Two men were found guilty of plotting to kidnap Whitmer by breaking into her vacation home. headline and subhead from ABC news in June 2025: Trump says calling Walz after Minnesota shootings would be 'waste of time' President Donald Trump said overnight that calling Minnesota Gov.

Waste, fraud, and abuse
NY Times headline and subhead: An Industry Insider’s Changes at the E.P.A. Could Cost Taxpayers Billions A Trump appointee has proposed rewriting a measure that requires companies to clean up “forever chemicals,” documents show. The new version would shift costs from polluters.

I don't think the NY Times understands what the word "transparent" means.
NY Times article excerpt: "The cabinet event was billed as a celebration of American workers ahead of Labor Day. Yet with a running time of three hours and 15 minutes, it would be considered a wildly inefficient meeting at just about any other workplace. The actual policy menu was just gristle in comparison to the red-meat politics, but for an afternoon, the Trump White House really was as radically transparent as Mr. Trump likes to say it is." another excerpt from the same article: "Like much of what was said on Tuesday, this was transparent but not truthful: The legislation overwhelmingly benefits top earners, and has adverse effects for low-income households."

Correct answer from @grahamformaine.bsky.social
screenshot of a reddit Ask Me Anything with candidate for Senate in Maine, Graham Platner. Question: "Just curious where you stand on Lgbtqia+ rights and freedoms." Answer from Graham: "I stand right in the fucking way of anyone who’s going to try to come after the freedoms of the LGBTQIA+ community."

Thank you Brad
Article excerpt screenshot: “Let’s be clear: Zohran Mamdani won the votes of a large majority of NYC Democrats, including thousands of proud Jews like me, inspired by his vision of a city everyone can afford and confident about his commitment to combating antisemitism and hate,” Lander said in a statement. “Josh Shapiro won’t help keep Jews safe in NYC or Pennsylvania by feeding Trump’s narrative about our Democratic nominee for mayor.”

We made a special red white and blue dessert tonight. Strawberry cake, topped with vanilla ice cream and blueberry sauce. I'm not patriotic but I like themed desserts.

A "get your war on" cartoon from 10/30/01. First panel: a man on the phone says "ok I hate to act like a f'ing dumbass, but are we at war? I mean, did we ever officially declare war?" Second panel: a different man on the phone says "Declare war? Who's got time to declare war when there are so many bombs to drop?"

Made pizza for the first time! The first pie came out perfect! I messed up the second one and salvaged it by turning it into a calzone. Some cheese leaked from it and that somehow broke the pizza stone. But the calzone tasted great!
A perfect pizza pie. Fresh mozzarella, basil and half with caramelized onions. A calzone filled with mozzarella, tomatoes, sauce, and basil. My toddler daughter helping me decorate the pizza A pizza stone, cracked and broken in 2 pieces.
