It really is civil war out there, fighting over two different countries. Not what the Founders intended. Somehow this ship needs to be, must be righted.

Sure it is. By them. TheDems should keep worrying the bone. Every single day. Of course it’s about Epstein. So by asking a question every day it keeps the issue out there. And they all know the size of the scandal is enough to topple a presidency. And take an awful lot more heads with it.

The football is much more fun to watch too. Far more intensity and desire. I used to sleep through games before under Southgate. Soooo boring. MUFC better not be thinking of giving him a go.

Over before it even got off the ground. But Trump made sure to get his photo op. And no doubt a 14k gold replica of a Nobel Peace Prize

He was always a disgusting excuse for a human being. But I’m sure he has squirreled enough away. These people never ever pay for their truly terrible crimes. But hopefully he’ll never be able to profit further from it.

Trump has always been transactional.

It’s an absolute tragedy. The hit to global health is astounding. The rest of the world is looking in with horror at the dismantling of the CDC. It will take decades to recover after the unhinged guy with the worms in his brain finally is shown the door.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Dear Chicago who I love. I'm so proud of your resistance to the horrors of authoritarianism. Remember who you are. Stay strong, and thank the frog for me.

It was never in doubt. They’re sane in Scandinavia. And hate him as much as we do.

Thanks. It’ll do nicely

I think the decision to protest peacefully in frog costumes by Portland is utterly genius. The North Western folks have always had a quirky sense of humor but are deadly accurate in their politics. We are not all far right nut jobs.

Yes! Way past time? In my opinion.

With more #Brexit travel disruption on the horizon, time for #Labour to reconsider restoring #FreedomOfMovement, says this @bradfordtanda.bsky.social letter: “Could prove popular for a Government struggling in the polls.” #SingleMarket #RejoinEU

This letter appeared in the Telegraph & Argus (Bradford) on 11 October 2025. New travel rules being introduced by the European Union is more reason for the British Government to consider restoration of Freedom of Movement, says the writer.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

What is wrong with Fetternan? Has he had a scan recently? Is his brain still there?

And a huge finger to you know who, who predictably nominated himself in a humiliating display of his rampant untrammeled and dangerous malignant narcissism. The Committee makes its decisions based on a lifetime of achievement, not unhinged gobbledygook on social media platforms
