I was all set NOT to pay a fortune to see DMB in Hartford this summer and just wait for the next time they play Mohegan Sun, and then I watched this.

I hope they still have lawn seats available…

The sad thing is this sort of weak, whiny crap is more likely to get Trump to turn on Hegseth than murdering dozens of schoolgirls. He likes explosions, but hates implosions.

Literally every campaign finance reform supporter said this would happen when Citizens United and Speechnow were decided. We told y’all, and now solving the problem is roughly 63 times harder than it would have been back then.

As always, the dirty f***ing hippies were right.

Neal Stephenson’s “Fall: or Dodge in Hell” is a must-read these days.

This was inevitable, since—to his immense credit—Scott MacFarlane hasn’t changed a lick since CBS changed management. He’s remained one of the most direct and capable in the business, just what CBS used to be known for. I can’t wait to see where he heads next.

As long as we never officially admit it, it’s never officially our fault.

I saw some Trumper on Facebook suggest that assuming Iran wasn’t able to rebuild their nuclear program beyond and reach the brink of a deployable weapon was “anti-Persian racism.”

These are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Dow futures tumble 900 points as U.S. oil tops $100 a barrel to begin the week's trading: Live updates The Dow recorded its worst week since President Trump unveiled his tariff policy in April.

When politics are controlled by people so wealthy that cutting their net worth in half wouldn’t affect their lifestyles, shocks like these don’t force the reckonings they should. The rest of us feel the pinch the billionaire class caused.

You know, I’m beginning to think this Trump fellow might not be all that trustworthy.

I often find myself wondering how different things might be if Pope John Paul II hadn’t decreed that clergy could not seek or hold elective office.

Maybe delete, edit and repost this one?

It’s disturbing how often the spin from the White House boils down to “the President actually doesn’t understand what he’s talking about.”

Sir, I was a public school student in the Georgia district that had stickers in the science books warning us not to believe the evolution chapter. Do you seriously think I have the reading comprehension to understand all that?

One of the first things that Hegseth did after taking power was firing the Chief of Naval Operations and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

And Mike Johnson is a goddamned lying, cowardly, sycophantic son of a bitch.

He’s talking about a Forever War. Congress refused to rein him in, and now Trump is promising that his illegal war will continue until he gets the regime change he wants. We have basically nobody with us except Israel, and no plan except “make stuff go boom,” and kids are dying.

We’re fucked.

Pete Hegseth’s obsession with “lethality” and his disdain for “rules of engagement” always meant we’d be confronted with scores of murdered children. He never made any secret about his fetish.

And yet giant sacks of crap like Jared Golden and John Fetterman are cool with dead kids on their souls.

This makes sense for Fetterman, because if you want to be the dumbest goddamn oaf in the Senate, you gotta clear the competition from the field somehow.

In 2012, I worked in the AFL-CIO political department. That was where I first heard the name Markwayne Mullin. I asked if there was anything special about him folks should know, and I was told “he’s probably the single stupidest [person] I’ve ever seen.”

So, yeah, figures that Fetterman’s in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Noem’s impeachment must continue. Even if she weren’t being shifted into another government office—a made-up one, yeah, but a government office nonetheless—she should be prevented from ever holding another federal office in the future. The blood on her hands can’t wash off so easily.

Just don’t forget that Markwayne Mullin would lose a trivia match to a sack of hammers.
