if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test
Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."
it is possible to enjoy the zohran-trump meeting mainly as comedy — and perhaps also as a victory for leftwing populism and resistance — without also losing sight of the fact that trump is a corrupt reactionary despot who shills for bosses and is no friend of the worker. come on guys.

genuinely one of the saddest and most pathetic posts in the history of posting

trump (after zohran mamdani charms him for 5 minutes): “we’re looking very strongly at implementing socialism, many people are saying it. they love redistribution of wealth and you’re hearing it more and more. there’s a term, they call it, a centrally planned economy. it’s an old fashioned term”

repeatedly googling “when do trump and zohran meet” the same way I google “when does the super bowl start”

(serious unbiased journalist voice) “are you trying to distract from the president’s refusal to make health care affordable by pointing out that he was also friends with a pedophile?”
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

this is why you work out your material in the clubs BEFORE you go on tour
Okay this is more his standard. (This whole situation is very freaking funny.)

trump calling her “marjorie taylor brown” and then having to explain that it’s because “green grass turns brown” is the clearest sign yet that his brain is gone. sad to see. the one thing he was ok at was names. he could’ve gone after her for insider trading. “marjorie taylor GREED” was right there

if someone asks you “did the doctors scan your brain” and you say “I don’t know what they scanned” that’s how you know you need a brain scan

(AI nana) “oh darling, I would love to tell you your favorite bedtime story, but before I do — did you know that with DraftKings, new customers bet $5 to get $200 worth of bonus bets instantly?”
Nightmarish idea for a startup tbh

man it would be so funny if ten years after the 2016 election the thing that finally brings down trump is emails

amazon please hire me! I have a solution. I will write a script that starts “EXT. ISLAND — JAMES BOND (new, different young guy) is running through the Jungle from THREE BAD GUYS with guns” and no one will remember or care how the last movie ended.

please pay me one million dollars.

democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up
November 10, 2025 at 3:31 AM
shutdown deal per AXIOS:

republicans get: government reopens and party avoids political consequences for refusing to make health care affordable

democrats get: seven beans, an old case logic CD wallet (empty), a coupon for 15% off Busch Gardens, one spiced pumpkin scented candle, a 6-pack of Zima

if it turns out Democrats “negotiated” a “deal” that allows DONALD TRUMP to SEND OUT CHECKS WITH HIS NAME ON THEM I think we would have to seriously investigate the possibility that chuck schumer is a GOP manchurian candidate and the code word that activates him is “ballroom”
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

stephen miller currently sobbing as he consumes a live goat in his cage in the white house basement
Stephen Miller endorses Andrew Cuomo.

how fucking embarrassing for chuck schumer that he didn’t endorse the democratic nominee for mayor. dude is begging for a primary and it doesn’t even have to be AOC. as we learned tonight it could be an assemblyman no one’s heard of from queens. schumer should be shaking in his boots tonight.

very excited to spend the next year asking people who threatened to move out of nyc “hey whatever happened with that?”

if we elect a muslim socialist as mayor of new york city on the same day dick cheney died i’ll never take another note from a development exec telling me a plot point was “too on the nose”

if you needed another reason to go vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social today just consider that with one simple 30-second act you can make a man worth $500 billion sad. just imagine elon sobbing at dinner tonight over his ketamine and nitrogen pills and hamburger helper and let that motivate you
Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

if i found out stephen miller liked anything I was doing I would change my name and move to a different country
Just the face you want to see endorsing your campaign on the eve of the election
November 4, 2025 at 3:21 AM
voted for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and it felt great. thrilling to vote for a democratic socialist and compassionate normal human who will take on trump and the oligarchs and who talks about making food/housing/buses more affordable for working people rather than ballrooms and tylenol. go vote!
