Former AG Jeff Sessions is the original Ku Klux Keebler, but Mike Johnson has taken the mantle from him.

They're almost like the Mirror Universe versions of Frodo and Bilbo.

If Trump's laying off 'non essential' government employees, how the fuck is Stephen Miller still employed?

All hail the Ku Klux Keebler...not

Oh, you never would believe where those Keebler cookies come from – they're baked by little elves in a hollow tree

What do you think makes those Keebler Cookies so good? They're baked in magic ovens and there's no factory!

Minneapolis deserves a champion for working people.

This is our opportunity to build a city where every single resident can thrive. I can’t wait to cast my ballot for my friend and colleague, Omar Fateh, as my first choice for mayor by November 4th, and I hope you will join me.

24 people shot in a South Carolina bar. 9 dead in 5 shootings in Mississippi. So troops will be sent in to these violent Trumplandia hellholes, right? Right?

At least 9 dead across Mississippi after 5 shootings this weekend

Most of the shootings happened after high school football games Friday night. The last two happened at Alcorn State and Jackson State University Saturday.

Inflatable green frog suits are selling out everywhere, so I might not be able to attend No Kings Day as a frog.

An alternate idea is to wear a Swamp Thing suit instead. I'm just afraid of being given the Frankenstein monster treatment and being chased by angry, nativist MAGA types with torches.

I was doing some research to figure out how often frogs appeared in Swamp Thing, and I suddenly remembered this story.
