Does anyone but me think Starlink is just what we’re gonna call Big Brother or do I read too much?
The families of all 3 finalists of the #GreatBritishBakeOff were all like “thank gawd they can bake because they have nothing else going for them.” 🙃
British compliments are not for the weak.
Congrats to the winner!

Adelita Grijalva is FINALLY sworn in and is now officially a member of Congress

I’ll take things I expected to happen for $400. (Didn’t know who but knew it would be someone).
Nancy Mace is expected to pull her support for the petition to release the Epstein Files, the day before Adelita Grijalva is sworn in.

This is what I thought would happen but it’s a relief anyway

Has Mikie J recalled the house yet?
November 10, 2025 at 2:25 PM
All this -plus now Johnson has no cards to play in Epstein release which will also change the game

In sum: Republicans have backed themselves into a corner. Schumer and Jeffries are working together to shrink that corner smaller and smaller. 80% of our side is shrieking right now because they don’t realize that the “cave” does NOTHING unless Johnson reopens the house and removes that barricade.

Spoke to a federal employee today. She said that they’re pretty much feeling that the shutdown will last well past 11/26. This CR was supposed to last only to 11/24 anyway.
That’s after Thanksgiving.
How is this a winning strategy for the GOP?

Trump Take Thanksgiving.

A plus trolling
Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

This part is crazy... because he truly lacks any form of empathy and self awareness

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Maybe we can feel hope again?
The latest, 11pm:

—Prop 50 wins
—VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG; & gain in House
—Dems win NJ-Gov
—Mamdani wins
—PA Dems win supreme court
—ME vote-restricting measure loses
—Krasner & Bragg win
—JD's half-brother loses
—GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices
+ Dem are leading to flip so many local offices.

JD Vance's half-brother has lost by an overwhelming margin as he tried to become the mayor of Cincinnati.

Democratic incumbent Aftab Pureval wins reelection.

Feeling sorry for whoever fucks up first and loses World Series!

The fact is Vance sees the presidency in his grasp. Trump is half a stroke away from the end. And MAGA doesn’t like him much, and they really don’t like that he has a brown wife. A non-Christian brown wife. So what’s JD to do? Answer: let mega-white Erika Kirk run her fingers through his hair.

They want us all dead.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

What’s so infuriating is this could be over if a few GOP reps switched affiliation and changed House leadership. But they’re all pussies so….

Anyone thinking that DJT will release the SNAP funds at midnight on 10/31 so everyone can call him a hero?

Thank him for me!
