“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Not to be mean about Taylor Swift who seems basically fine and who I don't have particularly strong feelings about either way.
But Taylor Swift fandom is *way* more interesting than Taylor Swift music.

It doesn't always work, but usually the end of the season does bring the best teams to the playoffs, if not to the World Series. Hold all of my calls this weekend!

New York @ Toronto

Black women with degrees from Ivy League universities like Harvard with multiple years of experience are considered “DEI” hires, but some guy from Fox News with no experience is qualified to run the Department of Defense.

Doesn’t that seem like racism to you?

Part of the problem is: The dementia is at least partly masked by what an absolute fucking moron he is. It's harder to see deterioration in someone who never functioned at a basic level.

“We haven’t even started yet.”

We cannot let it become normalized.

Trump is doing whatever he wants with the most powerful military the world has ever known.

Nothing is stopping him. And he wants to do much more.

This is the most important political story in America. And maybe in the world. 🚨🇺🇸

Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"
