@CrookedMedia Does JD have the most punchable face in modern GOP politics? Should we have a March Madness style bracket for the most punchable faces? I always thought it was Grover Norquist but now I’m curious what the people have to say

It’s 1995. You wake up. There’s no Wi-Fi. You don’t have a cell phone. You don’t have a computer. There is no Facebook/Instagram/TikTok  What is the first thing that you do?

@JamesSurowiecki If it’s a self-important corporate type on a loud business call, make a game of it. Try to work out who he is and where he works with the help of Google and LinkedIn. Then email his boss about how his employee is blabbing about sensitive corporate information in public.

I remain baffled that people play videos or have video calls without headphones on a train. How do you convince yourself it's fine to impose on the people around you in that way?

Hannity: "I'm reading the Qataris are giving them $300 billion with the signed, sealed approval of the U.S.…Did the U.S. ever sign off on the Qataris paying them?" Vance: "No, the agreement says they are not getting a single dime of American money…We would invite other countries, not us, to invest in their country, that's fine, but only if they comply with the terms of the agreement."

@mlstrat A little buzzed grocery run is absolutely fantastic. You end up with a lot of delicious cheese you might not have tried otherwise, and then an episode of iron chef when you get back and realize you missed a key ingredient in whatever you’re attempting to cook

@emrazz @MrsErikaKirk Also the event was unwatchable other than for those with a Paramount plus subscription, which erodes any pretensions of doing this gaudy spectacle “for the people”

@MrsErikaKirk When you go to church you wear your church clothes. You mind your swear words. Because some institutions aren’t intended for a motorcycle circus. And as the grand dame of clutching pearls, you know that.

The Left wants the White House to feel like an untouchable institution reserved for political elites. They hate seeing it used for events that remind Americans it belongs to them. Turning the White House into a place of celebration, culture, and public engagement, especially as we approach America’s 250th, strips away the myth that government is something distant and above the American people. No surprise the Democrats despised last night’s UFC event, but what truly frustrates them is what it represents: a White House that feels like the people’s house again.

See the propaganda move? Make the image emotionally overwhelming, then pretend the only possible objection is hatred of America. Nobody has to pretend to be mad at a flyover. It looks cool. That is not the critique. The critique is that cool imagery is being used to launder the structure underneath it. The White House becomes the set. The military supplies the emotional force. UFC supplies the combat aesthetic. Paramount+ gets the paid stream. Trump-world and politically connected corporations get the branding halo. And then accounts like this say: if you notice the machinery, you must hate America. No. I like the flyover. I dislike fake patriotism that turns the country into ad inventory. This is Don Draper selling belonging after tribal sorting so the powerful concentrate more power. Working-class people are not props. Marines are not props. National monuments are not props. The issue is billionaires turning the White House into branded regime content, then hiding behind “the working class” when anyone notices the circus.

It must suck to have to pretend to be mad at this

@the_fem_tm @emilykmay How any quote-un-quote man can find enjoyment in fucking a woman who is clearly not into it - “lying back and spreading” - is beyond me. Like, dude, that’s the saddest - and frankly *least* manly shit I’ve ever heard.

Right next to Capital One Arena in Chinatown now sits the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, an exhibit that moved from New York to Washington this week, open through June 14. washingtonian.com/2026/06/09/eps…

So, I have a question for you readers out there… I just finished rereading one of my favorite books - A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway. I just adore that book. Is there a book that occupies a particularly special place for you? A book that really stands out for you as particularly beloved…

@lacherbauer @RahmEmanuel I appreciate the Chicago love, really. But huge security costs, half-booked hotels, and expensive tickets nobody is buying? The city has better uses of its budget. He prob made the right call, pragmatically speaking.

A tragedy that Chicago isn't hosting a World Cup match. A golden opportunity to reintroduce the world to summertime Chi, gone. This is what @RahmEmanuel took from us. 32 years later, we can only look back at the past with nostalgia.
The New York Times@nytimes

From @TheAthletic: When he was Chicago's mayor, Rahm Emanuel made a decision that distinguished him from many peers: he said "no" to FIFA's 2026 World Cup. The way he saw it, he was being asked to take on all the risk, while FIFA took home the rewards.  nyti.ms/49Hi5wE

@hicharliecotton I guess roving ATV gangs too specific to certain neighborhoods to get out of the sweet 16. Ditto motorcades.
