Actual LOL (but ruefully)

Coming up on today’s NEW @NextUpHalperin: An episode on all things Trump’s East Wing makeover with three unique perspectives: - @tomemmer explains why the new ballroom is another Trump victory. - @ThirdWayMattB explains why the East Wing changes feel like an attack to the Left.…


Narrator: "They do not have a plan."

If the government reopened tonight, would Republicans have a plan to address the Obamacare subsidies? Speaker Johnson: “Yes, yes, yes, yes. We do. We have proposals to… You would have a plan tonight? "Yeah. We can have that ready immediately.”



Absolutely agree

yes, we are, because we’d ask these questions of a Republican, and the least we can do for our country is to be morally and intellectually consistent. Or we’re no better than them.



Cue more apologias from the far left and their fashionable podcasting allies.

But wait, there’s more: “Graham Platner admits he authored a series of Reddit comments that include homophobic slurs, anti-LGBTQ+ jokes, and sexually explicit stories denigrating gay men.” advocate.com/politics/graha…



Will you address the use of taxpayer funds to give the president $230 million?

“Is it too much to ask, though, for Democrats to be more clear-eyed about winning elections? The point isn’t to find a savior, it’s to get closer to 51 votes in the United States Senate. Act like discerning shoppers, not fanboys.” - Amen @jmart

"I’ve learned, for example, that in 2020, Platner went online and called the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office a den of 'overweight pansies' and flatly said: 'cops are opportunistic cowards.'" politico.com/news/magazine/…

Sorry, but calling a Nazi tattoo "my Totenkopf" and keeping it on your body for many years (until your enter politics) is not a sign of much growth.

Censorious, hall monitor liberalism that refuses to accept growth in people -- unless you're a corporate centrist and all is forgiven, just ask Cuomo supporters -- is far more of a threat to the Democratic Party's chances in the future than anything dug up on Graham Platner.



A rule of politics is when you’re explaining that your bigoted advisor doesn’t speak for you, you’re losing.

It's 2025 and The Jack Campaign opposes same-sex marriage.

Running a Local Paper? In This Economy? Thrilled to see @aseitzwald and his colleagues at @MaineVillager getting the NYT treatment! nytimes.com/2025/10/20/sty…


This is really well stated and totally correct.

Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people.



My tattoo has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my tattoo.

Platner’s political director (who resigned over his Reddit posts), weighs in on tattoo: “He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff. Maybe he didn’t know when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means.”

Neither was “the late, great Hannibal Lecter”.

Darth Vader is not the good guy in the series, by the way.



I'm sorry, what?

4/ When pressed on Platner’s Nazi tattoo, Sanders lashed out at the “corrupt campaign finance system” adding “We don’t have enough candidates in this country that will take on the powers that be and fight for the working class.”

In Ryan's view, anyone who disagrees with him must be doing it for money. Real "Soros is paying for No Kings" energy there.

Who is paying you to do anti-Platner comms? This a DSCC gig?



This is, of course, 100% bullshit.

Senator Schumer and Senate Democrats shut the government down in an effort to reopen loopholes that were closed in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to prevent illegal aliens from receiving government benefits. These are the specific provisions they want changed to make that happen.…

The most perfect metaphorical image for Trumpism since the classified documents in the bathroom.

White House Down



But they ARE paying to destroy the East Wing of the White House to make way for a Versailles-style ballroom. Priorities!

Just a reminder that House Republicans have chosen to NOT PAY the people at the airports screening luggage for bombs or making sure planes don’t collide with each other.



Serious, non-snarky question: why would John Sununu want to go back to THIS Senate Republican Conference? He can't possibly like or respect Trump, and he can see they've become supine servants of their presidential master. What about that is appealing?politico.com/live-updates/2…
