We are not talking enough about the rapture and how Trump might think this is his way to immortality

Be grateful it’s possible to take back the senate. And vote with gratitude there is a candidate who can win.

Let’s face it……the entertainment factor is significant. If only it wasn’t paired with destruction and the fall of civilization.

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.

Oh no no no no. The Pitt is for the after dinner beer or ice cream treat.

I was joking but you’re also correct

Tim Sheehy should be charged with whatever crime this is - and then expelled from Congress.

Well, at least it all turned out okay.

Listen to this guy...something is seriously wrong that they're not telling us.

IMO, any religion that asks you to spy on your kids’ porn habits and them to be alerted to yours is misguided but I’m not starting a war over it.

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare

COMER: We believe that's your fault

WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--

RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?

REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

Honestly, our Iranian adventure is a perfect parable for Trump's governance at home: build nothing and wantonly destroy everything, all the while skimming as much off the top as possible.

American publishing regularly punishes women in their 50s by simply not interviewing them for new jobs in the way @saribotton.bsky.social describes here. So it’s great revenge that she launched Oldster magazine on her own, now with 70k subscribers.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Yes. They have the market cornered on cognitive dissonant phrasing.

Hillary Clinton goes off on Republicans after it’s revealed unauthorized images of her were released: I'm done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.

How about a children’s book? Clyde Goes to Congress!
