But my politics have boiled down to "do you believe in our democracy and constitution and will you follow it" so it's a low bar. Retribution comes second but I don't know if he's that guy.

Obviously, good Democrat candidates can get elected statewide but it's still pretty purple and he might be a good governor candidate.

The thing about Duncan is I'll give him credit that I wouldn't extend to most Republicans. He was never a stolen election guy, to my recollection and was good on Trump's attempt to steal Georgia. And frankly, for Georgia, he might be the best type of Dem candidate.

Geoff Duncan isn’t just running for governor of Georgia as a Democrat. He’s testing how wide the party’s ‘big tent’ can stretch.

Can a Repentant, Regretful Republican Thrive as a Dem?

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

This is why I don't really fear a president Vance if Trump croaks because absolutely no one has any respect for him.

I've only seen the Monster series but I can kinda see what you're saying. And I remember the discussion about families of victims in the Dahmer series. Thanks for the detailed response.

"wear it on your wrist"...where the fuck else are you going to wear it?

Barney Marsh @mattresd.bsky.social · 1d

Honest question because this is the second time I've heard this, what's the beef with Ryan Murphy? I don't know anything about him except that he does the Monster Series. I get that it's controversial to even make this series but is there more to peoples' dislike of him?

We don't need to win over the extremists, we need to isolate them. We should be driving in wedges and not seeking to normalize the worst across and impulses

Following MTG's lengthy CNN sitdown interview, Wolf Blitzer tells her:

"You‘re a courageous politician, but more important, a loving mother. Thanks very much for coming in. We hope you‘ll come back here in the Situation Room."

Speaker Johnson crashes Kelly and Gallego gaggle. Says he’ll swear in Grijalva when they reopen the government

Kelly asking why Fine and Petronis got sworn in on pro forma, Johnson says it has to do with being on recess.

Johnson: “this has nothing to do with Epstein”

The funniest thing about Noem "staring down ANTIFA" is that she was like three stories up from the street. Even with her thugs she wouldn't go down to the street.

Kristi Noem ‘stares down’ Antifa. It was reporters and a guy in a chicken costume

Trump has claimed Portland is ‘war-ravaged’ - but residents and local authorities dispute that

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

at some point in this term, he is going to fall deadass asleep on camera and start snoring because no one will dare wake him up while he’s being broadcast

Trump is fighting sleep during this antifa roundtable and sleep is gaining the upper hand

the sole redeeming characteristic greene possesses is that she hates republican congressional leadership almost as much as i do

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

REPORTER: Congresswoman Greene specifically said that Republicans do not have a plan to deal with healthcare

MIKE JOHNSON: Congresswoman Greene does not serve on the committees of jurisdiction that deal with those specialized issues. She's probably not read in. Not everyone knows everything.

My thanks to the LA Times for letting me write about the life of John Candy and two new projects (a documentary and a biography) that explore his legacy. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

'You never stop thinking about John Candy': How a pair of projects keep his legacy alive

The beloved actor, who would have turned 75 this month, is the focus of an eponymous book biography and "John Candy: I Like Me," a Prime Video documentary.
