Nice to be reminded that all the Never Trumpers praising Dick Cheney today had no problem with evil they liked.

Dumb SOB POTUS thinks a court order is an opening bid to be negotiated. Get this guy off the stage. His act is terrible.

Breaking:

Trump now says he will NOT abide by a federal judge's order to disburse SNAP benefits — despite the admin saying just yesterday it would partially fund November benefits.

He says SNAP benefits "will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government."

“You campaign in poetry,” Mario
Cuomo said after he was first elected governor of New York. “You govern in prose.” Forty years on, Andrew Cuomo has campaigned for mayor in leaden, lazy, ugly prose his father would surely hate. While @ZohranKMamdani.bsky.social campaigned in inspiring poetry.

If Harry Whittington knew how to look out … we wouldn’t know his name. 😒🙂

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

😄 I’m OC so I fix it when I see it!

Pat Nason @patnasonsongs.bsky.social · 1d

Very much appreciated, sir. GOP has been using “Democrat” that way since at least Nixon. They’ve acknowledged it’s a rhetorical game intended to cast the party in a negative light, and have said that they would push it, try to get it widely and routinely used. I think of it is a low-key dirty trick.

What dogs can teach us... This is the best day. Ever. Be excited that there is food in your bowl. Act happy when someone you love walks through the door. Take walks every day. Nap when you need to. Love with a full heart. Protect your pack.

Democratic Party, please. When you say “Democrat Party,” you are doing the work of MAGA/GOP. Let them do their own work.

It is wild to me that Douglas Adams predicted OpenAI

Screenshot from the hitchhikers.fandom wiki: The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is the primary manufacturer and supplier of androids, robots and autonomic assistants for the known universe. They are known for their catchy jingles and catchphrases, which are supplied by their Marketing Department.

The corporation is not known for the quality of their products, and almost all of their known inventions are faulty.

Their primary claim to fame seems to be constructing

just about everything with (unstable) advanced robotics and software. From doors to lifts, to toaster ovens, drinks machines, vacuum cleaners, and "personal massage units"-everything has been built with a full GPP or Genuine People Personality. This means that even a set of airlock doors has emotions. hopes, dreams, intelligence, and worse of all, the capacity for boredom. It should come as no surprise then, that the majority of these devices have a neurotic streak a mile wide.

Mace is horny to be a main character. She has no chance of actually mattering, so this is her only play.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

Why do so many different calamities and controversies follow Nancy Mace around every week for years? She must just have bad luck with so many people victimizing her in so many different ways. Somehow most members of Congress are able to navigate years without any personal issues.

MAGA/GOP are incapable of good faith negotiations. Any assurances from them - “strong” or not - are worthless.

Ezra Levin ❌👑 @ezralevin.bsky.social · 1d

There's nothing "moderate" about surrendering in exchange for "strong assurances" from congressional Republicans. That's just stupid political malpractice. Republicans are losing this fight, and Dems should hold the line!

Let me put this as simply as possible: If the 60 Minutes editorial team cuts out most of their interview with Trump to make him look his best, and he still comes across as completely demented, then it is extremely likely that Trump actually is completely demented.

It matters in politics, though. It can’t be measured as electoral votes are, but it’s not nothing and it needs to be taken into account.
