A collection of compelling, sometimes appalling passages I’ve encountered lately:
I’m not saying Trump’s campaign is dead but RFK Jr. just scooped it up and put it in his trunk. — Rick Aaron
Sometimes you just have to rip the Band-Aid off and close all the tabs. If it was meant to be, your paths will cross again — The People’s Fabric
Don't try to tell me MAGA Republicans care about “protecting children” when page 302 of Trump's Project 2025 playbook calls for eliminating safety regulations on baby formula. — Robert Reich
He didn't say that. And if he did say it, he didn't mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn't understand it. And if you did understand it, it's not a big deal. And if it is a big deal, others have said worse. — The Twisted Logic of a Trump Supporter, a meme on social media
Kamala Harris. You know, it's interesting. Nobody really knows her last name. If you ask people, do you know what her last name is? Nobody has any idea what it is. Harris. It’s like Harris. I don’t know. How the hell did this happen? — Donald Trump
On CNN, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance accused Democrats of engaging in name-calling and schoolyard bullying. Crooked Hillary, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Sleepy Joe, Coco Chow, Lyin Ted, Ron DeSanctimonious, Birdbrain Nikki Haley, Old Crow McConnell, Gavin Newscum, Pencil Neck Schiff, Pocahontas, Cryin Chuck, and Kamabla would all like a word. — Brian Tyler Cohen
Why don’t Republicans wear fake bandages when third-graders get shot? — Internet meme
I feel like one of my roles in this now is to be the anti-Tommy Tuberville; to show that football coaches are not the dumbest people — Tim Walz
Helping Trump win because you can’t vote for Kamala Harris because of Gaza when Trump would gladly kill every Palestinian and put up hotels in Gaza and the West Bank, isn’t the flex some of y’all think it is. — Tim Wise
Republicans care so much about military service that they elected these three men president recently: Ronald Reagan, who served only in movies. George W. Bush, whose family pulled strings to get him in the Texas Air National Guard to avoid being drafted in the Vietnam War. His right to fly was suspended and he went AWOL. Donald Trump, a notorious draft dodger. — Betty Bowers
Walz is the guy I would ask to walk me home after a night class in college and Vance is the guy who’s the reason I would want an es**rt. —
