1. Let me tell you something I cannot get over.

When people went after my girl Leah Remini for complaining that Gavin Newsom appointed a judge who was a Scientology-enabling attorney.

She didn’t call for Gavin to be removed from office; she just was upset by the appointment.

Trump just posted an AI slop video of himself dumping shit on protestors from a fighter jet while wearing a crown, just in case you were wondering how today’s events impacted his mental health situation.

They’re losing. They’ve already lost. He will get a lot more weird and aggro from here on out.

The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism.

It's 21 days since Rep. Grijalva won her election.

Funny and true — even if you haven’t seen the video of him being a small, pathetic, bully making threats to demote any one in that room full of military leaders who disagrees with cosplay Maj. Burns.

Angela Paxton filed for divorce from Texas AG Ken Paxton in July, accusing her husband of adultery.

The records were placed under seal, but a group of 8 news organizations—including ProPublica, @kutnews.bsky.social and @texastribune.org—are arguing in court that the records are of public interest.

This is really shameful and pathetic, even for Kash Patel.

Maybe have qualified law enforcement people head the FBI instead of professional shit posters.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this?

PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information?
