Can we keep talking about Rump’s profound neurocognitive decline? Rump was healthier the day he faux fellated the mic stand than he is today.

I know we're accustomed to the deranged, demented felon President's hideous visage, but he looks VERY unwell in this picture. I bet he falls frequently and uses a walker and/or wheelchair in private now.

I believe Pammy Jo knows this. She's only been covering up Rump's child sex trafficking crime syndicate 96 months longer than the rest of her peeps. If you need Cliff Notes to be snarky, disrespectful, and evasive, you're losing. Pammy Jo, Ghislaine has nicer digs than you will.

Americans have been telling themselves they will not live on their knees for generations going back to our Founding.

We’re gonna be testing that claim in the coming months.

England is now experiencing a significant COVID wave, after 10 months of relative quiet.

"If someone says they are in bed with flu, it’s almost certainly COVID, given that the number of people admitted to hospital for COVID last week was 50 times higher than the number admitted for flu!"

The chart shows weekly hospital COVID admissions per 100,000 population in the UK from May 2023 to September 29, 2025, based on UKHSA data.

Autumn 2023 peak reached around 6 per 100k.

Winter JN.1 peak followed early 2024 (~5 per 100k).

Several 2024 peaks occurred mid-year before dropping.

A 10-month stretch of low, stable levels lasted through late 2024 to mid-2025.

A new Sept 2025 wave shows a sharp upward climb approaching prior peak levels.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

I've been Amazon sober for 30 months. It doesn't even occur to me to buy from Amazon now. If you're tempted to buy from Amazon, just think of a pic of Lauren and Jeff, or remember they wanted to dismantle another country's historic bridge for their super yacht. Good luck!

Zohran, you are such an appealing person. It's hysterical Andrew Cuomo thinks he can purchase what you have. Please keep doing what you're doing. 😘

Creepy Mike, if hiding from constituents is "important work in his district," my MAGA Representative and ladder puller extraordinaire, Juan Ciscomani, is super busy.

Fluffy is 10 and has the most magnificent whiskers I've ever seen. She is loving and cuddly and she loves to chatter at birds out the window. She is at Richmond Animal Control and in search of a loving home. To sweeten the deal, these whiskers probably come with TEN WISHES!

Americans who love democracy need to face the fact that we’re no longer living in one.
We’re living in a transitional state in which a fascist dictatorship is fast descending.
But we still have a great resource: people power. It’s time for boycotts, protests, civil disobedience. Make yourself loud.

Premium increases notices will soon arrive in the mailboxes of Americans all over the US.

The average increase? 114%.

For some, the numbers are even higher:

A couple making $129,000 with two adult children at home in Savannah, GA, will pay $3,150 more per month for insurance.
