The best enemy is the one that does not understand itself to be a enemy.

Localized Pluggers to the submitter’s area. (This joke may only work for ‘Sconnies.)

Pluggers comic for 10/11/25, submitted by David Maack of Racine, Wisconsin. Captioned "The plugger grocery list," a cat Plugger has a list drawn on his arm reading "Beer, cheese, gas, wine."

There was never going to be a moment when everyone—everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the population—was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

-Panel two: Not a priest
- Panel three: Priest is a corruption of the Greek Presbyter, meaning elder
- Panel four: Priest is a corruption of the Greek Presbyter, meaning elder

“The Nobel Committee is an independent body and the Norwegian government has no involvement in determining the prizes. But I’m not sure Trump knows that. We have to be prepared for anything from him.”

You've probably been told 1,000 times already, but not a priest. A Protestant minister.

@normornstein.bsky.social had a good call on Greg Sargent's post this morning. The way out is for Republicans to put off ACA cuts for a year or two. Will we be right back at that fight? Yup! Does it get everyone out of the immediate jam? Also yes!

Wasn't the recent exchange with Johnson and Rep. Dean something to the effect of "Trump is nuts" "Hey, some of you are nuts as well"?

(Shorter version: "Some people say Trump has dementia. I'll leave that to the doctors to decide. All I know is that you can't trust him further than you can throw him...and that's not very far.")

"Some people say Trump has dementia. I don't know about that. All I know is that he keeps taking Congressionally-appropriated money and using it illegally. So no, I'm not interested in making a deal. He's not a trustworthy partner in negotiation."

"The Trump budget plan is just like any other time he does business. The only thing that makes any sense about it is how it helps him at the expense of somebody else."

And the riffs just write themselves: "They say Trump is crazy like a fox. Well, they got the first part right, anyway."
