“The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time. . .”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

people hear tech guys say their ethos is Move Fast and Break Things, they mentally add "in pursuit of Innovation" but no, breaking things is the means and the end. they move fast to get a spot under the next piñata, cause if you break the things these guys break, most times a lot of money falls out

It's been 41 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

The whole Daylight Savings thing really gives away the game, doesn't it? We collectively decided to make a day in November 25 hours long but you're telling me we can't have a functioning healthcare system?

Mamdani should sue 60 Minutes for election interference because they aired Trump's Cuomo endorsement but not the 45 minutes he forgot who he was and flung poop at the cameraman.

Politicians like Zohran Mamdani get out there and mingle with the people they want to vote for them. These politicians are more in touch with voters and their concerns.

Self-important, unstable Nancy Mace, on the other hand, uses cops to keep voters at a distance when she goes through an airport.

I hate when restaurants are like "here's a 400 meat dishes & 2 vegan options." It's like whoa, calm down, what about those of us who tolerate just a little bit of animal abuse? And also this is a big red flag for paying $20 for a bowl of unseasoned spinach that is absolutely infested with e. Coli

Zohran Mamdani is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics. My own granddaughter is knocking on doors for him in the final stretch of the NYC mayoral race. I was pleased to speak with him ahead of Tuesday's election. https://youtu.be/rqU0DAjg0RA?si=ZYVwyxSyA9xdR4bj
