‘Democratic Party approval rating plummets to a whopping 19%, per Quinnipiac.’ We are watching the Democratic Party disintegrate right before our very eyes. 😂Scrumptious.
Dems look at a populist legitimately sweep the New York mayoral primary by focusing on improving the material well being of poor, working and middle class people. "Trumpier insults and cursing! That's the ticket!"
Absolute worst aesthetic trend in politics. Guys who worked at a hedge fund and are drowning in crypto and AIPAC money trying to pick up authenticity points by dropping f bombs is a scourge that must stop. Let’s just bring back zero swearing please, it’s much more preferable
Blue MAGA is real.
Hunter Biden & Jaime Harrison talk about the viral video from fundraiser where folks said Joe Biden froze and Obama had to usher him off the stage. @harrisonjaime is on the money — President Biden was trying to hear what protesters were shouting. I was there. Check my post ⬇️
Say what now?
🚨 Lorne Michaels officially has is now one Saturday Night Live two ratings NBC of on broadcast television!
The difference between Chris Martin and Bruce Springsteen ... At least Bruce gives you warning...😅 #ColdplayConcert
Just a reminder - Zohran Mamdani’s mom is a world class filmmaker, and Mississippi Masala is a truly great film. Watched it for the first time in decades last night and was knocked out all over again.
If he REALLY wants to guarantee a landslide, he should promise to take Fredo with him.

I wonder what Epstein charged his clients to "get handsy" with his underage girls. Hollywood made a movie about this creature getting sexually harassed by Roger Ailes when she worked at Fox.
Megyn Kelly: "I don't care about Trump getting handsy with somebody 20 years ago. I want someone who will close the border and someone who will keep boys out of my daughter's sports, which he has."
People outside the film industry who think of themselves as savvy viewers think they can do napkin math on this. Late night shows keep the lights on because a writer will go “what if we shot a segment with 33 green PT Cruisers” and then someone makes it happen in 24 hours.
Blown away by this figure - per the article, Colbert is making maybe $20m. Where does the rest of the $100m go? It's a piece-to-camera/guest interview show
It’s @JamesGunn, so you know it’s going to be - at worst - entertaining as hell, but oh my lord… I was NOT prepared for how great Superman was. A full course meal, it’s easily the best Superman movie since the Donner/Lester ones.
See previous tweet about stupid people
Top House Dem Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani in NYC mayoral race in lukewarm statement after highly-anticipated meeting trib.al/zXMlP8V
It actually offends me to have to share the planet with people this blood curdlingly stupid.
The man is a danger to humanity.

Be amazing if shit we’ve known about Trump for over a decade is what brings him down. (It won’t. But still) Most dour Clinton freak I know got really pissed at me in 2016 when I said it sucked that Dems were running the only woman alive who couldn’t use Epstein against him

Voldemort is already cast and will appear in multiple episodes To keep it a surprise, HBO has decided not to announce who has been cast as Voldemort

Is "President Short Eyes" too obscure?
Am I going insane or is Trump now talking himself into effectively saying Epstein is innocent? What is going on? this is WAY more bat shit than the baseline Trump temper tantrum
💯
In retrospect, it's now funny that Bernie staff were derided by elite libs as Unserious & Biden folk were portrayed as Very Serious Operators...and the Very Serious Operators then covered up Biden's cognitive decline, destroyed the Dem Party & handed the White House back to Trump
It’s NOT voters fault that these clowns keep losing gimme elections.
Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying "I don't know him well." CHRIS HAYES: Why are you not endorsing the guy that won the democratic primary in a contested election in your backyard? JEFFRIES: I didn't get involved in that primary election, and I…
