Learning about the sexual yearnings of Larry Summers and Bobby Kennedy Jr. is really helping my "lose-a-few-pounds-so-I-can-indulge-on-Thanksgving-Day-pies" diet.

10 reasons why Trump sucked up to Mamdani:
1. You can take the boy out of Queens but you can't take the Queens out of the boy
2. He wasn't invited to Cheney's funeral and needed to show he can play nice
3. Even tho he endorsed Cuomo, he was so happy that he lost
4. No one in his admin is cool

I, a Woman, Am Officially Done Saying “I’m Sorry”
Dear colleagues, I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I’m officially done saying sorry. As a woman, I feel the flippant use and misuse ...

I feel like this new push to support Russia is connected to Elon Musk's latest visit to the WH. Just a hunch.

I have bad news for the Coast Guarder who ran out yesterday and got that tattoo he always wanted...
In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
Insanity

Based on these newly-released emails which suggest that Ghislaine Maxwell lied through her teeth, I hope they take her puppy away (but don’t give it to Kristi Noem)

"Instead of searching for the unum, Democrats need to focus on the pluribus. They have a deep, deep bench of leaders who could team up together and make some noise. Sure, it’s a radical notion that people with similar political goals might actually show support for each other. But..."

Many congratulations to the amazing Dr. Sarah Lewis! It’s impossible to keep up with the remarkable contributions she makes. I won’t try to list all the reasons congratulations are in order rn. I’ll just mention her 2025 American Book Award for THE UNSEEN TRUTH!

Imagine you're a prince born into extreme privilege. Palaces! Ski chalets! Safaris! Staff! And imagine the bar for maintaining this luxury is: "Can you cut a ribbon at the opening of a clinic?" & "Can you refrain from raping minors?" And imagine your response is, "You have asked too much of me!"

Hey, RFK, fix your own wives before you complain about others

Melania Trump: one child
Cheryl Hines: one child
RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

Hey, Usha, I guess it will be cool when your own children start joking about putting Jews in gas chambers because "that's what kids do" according to the person you're raising those kids with. 1/2
JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer."

JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

Watched this last night and loved it. Extraordinary performances by Nat King Cole, Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson and Harry Belafonte (among many, many others.) Also a wrenching reminder that America was absolutely terrible in the 50s and 60s.
