Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Stand up, dammit!

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

    Thanking the young people for voting.  Biden called Maxwell Frost – as the youngest elected in the House.

    Voters are frustrated. A tough couple of years.  Pandemic raging, economy reeling.  Acted quickly and boldly, helped the economy – rattles off a million things the administration has done.

    Historic investments in manufacturing.

    ooh, calling on 10 people – he has a list.

    AP is up first.

    Question 1.  75% think the country is moving in the wrong direction.  what will you do differently?

    Answer: Nothing!  (I love that)

    @Baud: “I’d especially like to thank WaterGirl for all her work in this election.”​
     Of course Joe took note of our fundraising impressario!

    @Nicole: I know, Biden was so gracious and good humored. You could see a few times he was thrown off — the Elon Musk question for one — and he gathered himself and answered what he could, respectfully.

    I almost rolled my eyes at the “My dead family members” recital but then I decided he might be trolling us at this point.

    Interesting that Biden mentioned seeing whether Ukraine would be willing to compromise with Russia.  But nothing about Russia being willing to compromise.  That seems odd.

    Did anyone else notice that?

    @WaterGirl: There’s always the interpretation that one can ask Ukraine and explicitly give them the lead in asserting “Hell No!”  to any compromise — while not evincing any interest in Russia’s view of the situation.  The very ambiguity of the contrary ways to interpret the statement make it interesting.

    Off topic but the last GOP Congress member in NM has finally conceded.  Yvette Herrell-R tool done.  Gabe Vasquez-D wins by about 1200 votes.  Its a newly drawn district that did its job in dumping Herrell.  Vasquez relentlessly tied her to you know who and her anti-abortion positions.
