I would like to remind Congress that in November 2026, all 435 members of Congress are up for election. If you wanna keep your overpaid gigs, remember who your voting demographics are, and not just your Citizens United money launderers. 33 Senators and 39 governors are up on the chopping block too

Trump’s Nobel Alert: The Peace Plan is Israel gets to control 60% of Gaza, which is magically most of the coastline.

Trump then trashes the Nobel Prize Committee and announces his development of the “Big Beautiful Trump Resort & Golf Course Mediterranean”.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

He never, ever does anything that isn’t a direct grift. His Cabinet never does anything but praise Dear Leader so they can line their own pockets. But in the end Trump will lose: his mind, his money, his freedom, while trapped in the terrifying darkness that is senior dementia.

I love the new look. An angry, tired bitter old right-wing Karen. Let’s get some orthopedic shoes and QVC stretch pants to complete the makeover.

What is the end game for these madmen?? World dominance? Hatred and poverty rife everywhere? That doesn't sound like a good world

When the economy collapses, what then? I keep asking this too. What is the long game?

Somebody AI the Nobel Prize in there. Hot potato, hot potato, you lose.

States’ rights? What a ridiculous notion.

Before you warm up your hands for the Nobel prize, there is nothing in this proposal addressing Palestinian statehood or Palestinian sovereignty, nothing about illegal settlements in the West Bank, and nothing about the freedom of Palestine to control its own destiny without interference.

Dammit, I’ve asked you three times for the code to the copy machine. Denise wants to buy a scanner but I support the Xerox Technicians Union.

Jesus Donald. Just spit it out already. You know. Like Jeffrey Epstein’s dick.

Wait until the commercial real estate lending/finance sector crashes.
That will wipe out a lot of banks. Maybe worse than 2008.

With KFF getting mixed up with KFC, it's better than with our old name (Kaiser Family Foundation), where we got mixed up with Kaiser Permanente. We have no connection at all to the HMO.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Everyone brought something to The Line way back in the day. Liquor, weed, peanut butter and cheese crackers, and usually some quaaludes.

Were there underage boys in this scenario? Peter Thiel is gay, or does he swing both ways? Anyway, I thought he was more into world domination than pedophilia.
