Completely agree here. Schumer is not for this moment. Democrats very, very much need to go with someone else.
Jon Stewart on Chuck Schumer: “Someone has to meet this moment. You have an opportunity to actually govern. One of the first things you need to do is remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics. It’s a bullshit system and it needs to go. Chuck Schumer fought tooth and nail against half of these fucking people. He does not understand the urgency of the moment and what the future demands”

I just watched it and, yeah, Trump really really really didn’t need to be part of that cold open last night. If you have Tom Hanks come back as David S. Pumpkins, then for crying out loud let it be a David S. Pumpkins skit. #SNL

For an amazing game like that to end on a questionable check swing call is……a little disappointing. #WorldSeries

Why, it’s almost like the tariffs weren’t necessary to begin with….
BREAKING: The United States is expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Maine Senator Susan Collins and other Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. Full Story: on.wsj.com/4i6fCyU

It’s very telling that restricting the ability of eligible voters to vote is seen as a win for Republicans.

Vance retakes the lead in the highly competitive contest for most nauseating Trump administration official. Hegseth, Rubio, and Blanche look on jealously as Vance shows them how truly repulsive smarmy demagoguery is done.
JD Vance: "Now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar"

Was pulling for the #Brewers. And I guess I still am. But this Timeless Ticket fiasco is a really, really bad look for them, at a time the vibes should be nothing but positive. They need to make it right. And this ain’t the way.
Update from the Milwaukee Brewers on the Timeless Ticket situation:

This is insane. The level of overt, proud racism, hatred and bigotry in today's Republican Party is a stain on every leader in it and it will never ever wash away.
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

This…….feels unwise.

Folks, I’m starting to think we’re the bad guys.

Sadly, you knew it was only a matter of time before they went after Watergate.
DOJ is reviewing whether the special prosecutor’s office that investigated the Watergate break-in committed misconduct, according to people familiar with the matter, more than half a century after that scandal led to Nixon’s resignation. W @PhilipWegmann wsj.com/politics/policy/deca…

I remember this rumor floating around my high school cafeteria. I never *really* bought in, but the thing about those pre-internet days was that you couldn’t immediately disprove it. Simpler times.

Yeahhh…….as much as I love Pete it really left a bad taste in my mouth wheh he so quickly and without hesitation said he’s opting out. It was like 5 minutes after the game ended, we’d just completed our slow-motion collapse……..read the room.
Bo Bichette has already shown more desire to be a Met next year by simply not using the postgame of the last game of the year to let everyone know in clear terms he is GONE

Nobody opted out 5 ninutes after the game ended this year, right? #Mets
