If you’re waiting for a republican to do the right thing you’ve already lost

It’s been nearly two hours, and the vote remains open.

He looks like Paul Shaffer getting ready to do a special episode of The Late Show

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

We need an opt-out because his existence violates my child's religious beliefs. See how quickly untenable this gets?

Every single picture of Peter Thiel makes him look like the guy in a zombie film who's hiding that he was bitten.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

In the past month, I've used the transit systems of Boston, New York and Toronto. The experience has made me upset and angry almost to the point of tears because Philadelphia deserves so much better than it has. But we are suffering under the boot of evil hicks and indifferent ghouls in Harrisburg.

You can't make this up.

If you have communists and fascists opposing, you cant be that bad!

On the bright side, how about that Phillies pitching? Cristopher Sánchez today: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 11 K.

i went to high school next to an air force base and for people who hate government-run stuff, every future coal-rolling ding-dong i knew who wasn't in the service wheedled a trip to the commissary or the bx from someone who was every time they needed a lotta meat for the barbecue or got a new tv

80-90% of polled voters say Direct File is a good thing. It is quite literally one of the most popular government programs in America. If Democrats cared more about winning than making their donors happy, they could win 8-10 House seats next year just with ads showing off this tweet.

This is really it. It's got to kill Ritchie Torres that people like him - who rushed behind Cuomo despite his weaknesses - created the conditions for Zohran to win.

Becoming apparent every day how the elites in DC/NY's media/political bubble - drunk on right-wing media fed rhetoric - are completely out of touch with rest of the country on its nuanced perspective on immigration.

Phillies score a run challenge.

the rest of the country will never understand the enduring spirit of philadelphia

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

Free parking=Abundance Free buses=insanity

After ICE agents enter 2 Diocesan churches, San Bernardino’s Bishop Rojas adamantly speaks out: “Cease these tactics immediately, in favor of an approach that respects human rights.” www.sbsun.com/2025/06/24/a...

Have you scored a run since Sunday?

Just a reminder that Fiorello LaGuardia, NYC’s most famous reformer ran on a Dem socialist platform more than once. (Also, we share a birthday which is not relevant but pleases me.)

guy who doesn't believe in germ theory of disease + thinks your lifestyle choices totally determine your health is requesting that everyone put on wearables that collect granular data on your physical status. i wonder why

This is the most Eric Adams anecdote ever so it definitely 100% happened

Wait, two of the top 5 draft picks were from Rutgers?!

“what are we? a bunch of Americans?!” is a great strategy and I’ve been waiting for them to do this for a long time

As annoyed as we get at the Phillies, it can be no where near as annoyed as our starting pitchers get.

MAMDANI'S SOCIALIST PROMISES: BABY BASKETS TO NEWBORNS

Yesterday in NYC was a closed primary in which <30% of eligible Democrats voted. The only way a person could think the result of such an election proves a nefarious plot to change population demographics is by starting from the premise "non-white people should never win any election anywhere."

Fuck you Phillies I'll see you tomorrow

Relying on Rojas to keep the game going. They didn't have anyone that could have pinch hit for him?

Terrible, terrible at-bat from Rojas to end the game. Man, he’s frustrating to watch.

There has been a huge effort to convince us that #MeToo went too far and that our society collectively owes the very, very few perpetrators held accountable forgiveness and more power than ever. Let the New York election results be a reminder that most people are opposed to that political project.

tonight’s other big winner is Eric Adams, who is now finally free to get *really* weird.

There’s a big lesson for the national democrats to learn from what’s happening tonight, it will be fascinating to see how they turn it into a referendum on trans kids playing field hockey

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

I can't believe "Disgraced sex pervert shows up to America's largest city for the first time in 30 years and demands to run it" wasn't a winning campaign strategy.

If Mamdani *were* to pull this out, what’s the over-under line for how much outside SuperPac money comes in to the general to try to stop him? $100 mil? $200?

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

Barbra Streisand pours herself a cocktail, chuckling to herself.

SCOOP: 'Big Balls' has officially left the building. 19-year-old technologist Edward Coristine, a key operative in Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) who's gone by the name "Big Balls" online, has resigned, the White House tells WIRED.

Legitimate claim to the most insane shit he’s ever said

But Dear Leader has declared peace! Surely there is some misunderstanding, for Dear Leader could not possibly be a weak old man yelling into the void, accomplishing nothing.

WATCH: New reporting from the New York Times suggests President Trump's decision to strike Iran was not based on intelligence, but rather on the wall-to-wall coverage he saw on Fox News.

Lol. Hell of a day for an Emergency Broadcast System test 😂

NJ Globe out with a report that—although framed favorably to Donald Norcross—reveals the 66-year-old congressman's office concealed the severity of his condition during his hospitalization and he has no plans to retire
