Even if I wasn't broke, I wouldn't give you money The republican party is not "conservative" in any sense of the word. They have devolved into a hate, fear, and money cult. Be like Tim Walz, help your neighbors, and mind your own damn business.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Why are Andy McCarthy and Ed Whelan more passionate and zealous critics of this administration than Merrick Garland? Why is Chris Wray getting the axe and not Merrick Garland? These things are not unrelated, and their implications are clear

I'm a "glass is half-full" kinda guy, so let's look at the upside of the Riyadh Comedy Festival: We never, ever have to even pretend to take any of these "anti-woke" "free speech warriors" seriously, ever again.

New from me at @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

Will Anti-Woke Comedy Recover From the Riyadh Festival?

Any event that includes comedy’s biggest names is going to attract attention — but the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which kicked off on Sept. 26 and continued through Thursday, is disproving the adage that...

Get your ass to the polls and VOTE for democrats next time !!

90 MILLION registered voters didn’t even bother to vote in the November 2024 election!

90 - ninety- million

There are MORE of us than MAGA , but if we don’t vote, they’ll win every time !

Never mind polls, what counts is turnout!

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that they even mentioned TP USA & didn't cook it to make it sound like antifa was persuing the prof for exposing them.

You mean the same organization that called for people to be fired because they spoke their minds about Charlie Kirk?

Yep, some real 1st amendment warriors right there... 🙄

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

The thing everybody needs to remember about republicans violating the constitution and not swearing in Grijalva is that The President Of The United States Of America repeatedly raped children and that republicans are trying to cover it up.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

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.

"They killed Charlie Kirk — the least that we can do is go through a legal process and redistrict Indiana into a nine to zero map," Sen. Jim Banks, the Republican of Indiana, told POLITICO last month.
