Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

“Alexa, change the president.”

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

So many bastards, so little time.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

    The team’s been running on fumes for a month and we got more out of Big Ben this year than we had any right to expect. He hit the same wall all rookies hit (11 games). I’m a lot happier about the next 10-15 Steeler years, though, than I would be without him.

    I think Jim nailed it: the Steelers peaked during late October and early November, and had been trending downwards ever since — toward the end of the regular season they were barely getting past some pretty mediocre opponents. And if last week the Jets have competent coaching and/or Doug Brien makes one of those two field goal attempts, the Steelers are watching this game on television. That’s not a good kind of momentum to be riding into a conference championship game.

    I don’t have a lot of respect for Bill Cowher — beneath the thrust-chin tough guy facade, he’s always struck me as somebody who’s much too much in touch with his Inner Two-Year-Old to keep a professional coaching gig. But even though I suspect this loss will sting for a while, I think Steelers fans have a lot to be proud of this team for. The future with Big Ben at the helm certainly looks bright.
