This is an extreme extremity. Apparently, Klum's a hand model in a big way. We'll try to keep the hand puns to a minimum; we pinky swear.]]>Sun, 01 Nov 2026 04:10:26 -0500<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/11/01/heidi-klum-giant-severed-hand-halloween-costume-n2433976Elissa Slotkin Defends Jewish Michigan Suburb Against Hasan Piker Calling It a ‘KKK Neighborhood’<![CDATA[You have to give Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed points for successfully managing to distance himself from his good buddy Hasan Piker. Piker, of "America deserved 9/11" fame, is still in the bag for El-Sayed, even though El-Sayed stopped referring to him by name and asking interviewers why they were asking him about "some streamer from California."&nbsp;]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 22:00:58 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/31/elissa-slotkin-defends-michigan-suburb-against-hasan-piker-calling-it-a-kkk-neighborhood-n2433957RATIO ALERT! PBS NewsHour Reminds Us That It's Totally Normal for Vote Counts to Take a LONG Time<![CDATA[The midterm elections are Tuesday, but guess what! We're already being told that the counting of the votes could take a long time. We're guessing that won't apply to states like Florida, which seems to be able to count all their votes by the end of Election Day.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 21:40:49 -0400<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/10/31/ratio-alert-pbs-newshour-reminds-everybody-its-totally-normal-for-vote-counts-to-take-a-long-time-n2433975‘Yes, This Is Real’: Harpy Senator Grades 'Melania Trump’s' Statement, Gives It an F-Minus<![CDATA[This editor used to teach freshman composition at a university, but unlike in his day, when your English paper just came back with a grade, he used a rubric explaining exactly how points would be awarded. You'd earn 10 points for a clear thesis statement. The majority of points were awarded for backing up your thesis with facts and data. Only five points went to correct spelling and grammar, as those could easily be fixed in a revision.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 21:30:08 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/31/yes-this-is-real-harpy-senator-grades-melania-trumps-statement-gives-it-an-f-minus-n2433959Rep. Maxwell Frost Disgusted by Swastikas Painted Near Early Voting Site<![CDATA[Hey, swastikas. We agree with Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost when he says it's disgusting to key swastikas into Tesla Cybertrucks. We're sure he was also disgusted when two crazed leftists vandalized a Republican field office in Illinois with swastikas and feces. Drop Site News reporter Ryan Grim said this summer that Republicans make themselves look ridiculous by claiming former Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner had a Nazi tattoo, because when most people hear that, they assume it's a swastika. When people found out it was just an SS Totenkopf, boy, did the GOP look stupid.]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 21:00:18 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/31/rep-maxwell-frost-disgusted-by-swastikas-painted-near-early-voting-site-n2433971NBC News: Anti-Muslim Attacks on Abdul El-Sayed Have Become Increasingly Frequent<![CDATA[We'd thought that the frequency of anti-Muslim attacks had stayed relatively constant, if indeed we're talking about attacks on a specific Muslim — Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. NBC News, though, reports that the anti-Muslim attacks have become increasingly frequent "as this heated race reaches the finish line." Attacks on his opponent, Mike Rogers, being a puppet of AIPAC have also become increasingly frequent, as have calls from other Democrats for El-Sayed to disavow Cenk Uygur's antisemitic ad featuring a couple bemoaning the price of eggs being so high that the government can kill more Palestinian children. Credit to NBC News for, unlike Rolling Stone, being able to distinguish between anti-Muslim and racist.]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 20:00:10 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/31/nbc-news-anti-muslim-attacks-on-abdul-el-sayed-have-become-increasingly-frequent-n2433969Judge Orders Admin to Turn Over List of Alleged Noncitizen Registrants to 'Immigrant Rights Groups'<![CDATA[We don't have an update as to whether the Trump administration complied with the order, but an activist judge ordered the Trump administration to turn over its list of 20,000 people it says are noncitizens registered to vote in California to immigrant rights groups by the end of the day on Friday. That's odd, because previously, judges fought to block the administration from having voter rolls for privacy reasons, and yet they're going to turn the lists over to "immigrant rights groups." Who are these groups, and if they're representing immigrants and not illegal aliens, we're not sure what compelling interest they have in having the list.]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 19:00:18 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/31/judge-orders-admin-to-turn-over-list-of-alleged-noncitizen-registrants-to-immigrant-rights-groups-n2433967Clyburn’s Unity Rally Turns Trick: El-Sayed Tells Stevens to Stay Away As Dem War Erupts in Detroit<![CDATA[Rep.

Tributes poured in from those who'd worked with him, such as Hugh Jackman and William Shatner, as well as from those of us who simply admired the man and his work.

As recently as this month, he's self-identified as a Republican, and he called himself a Republican when he spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. That's the thing about Never Trumpers — they can keep the Republican label and then get booked at conventions and on cable and network news as "balance" … see Ana Navarro on The View, for example. The thing about Never Trumpers, though, is they vote for, and actively encourage others to vote for, Democrats. Sure, they'll vote Republican again, as soon as a "non-MAGA" Republican is nominated. Actually, they wouldn't. They're too far gone. If, by some miracle, a sure loser like Mitt Romney won the party nomination in 2028, they'd still be urging you to vote for the Democrat.]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 17:00:12 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/31/republican-adam-kinzinger-wishes-his-maga-friends-a-good-weekend-n2433956Affordability? LA Mayor Karen Bass Banning New Oil Drilling Because It's Racist Should Help<![CDATA[I hate to do it, but I have to give Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed credit. No matter how often people bring up his family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, he sticks to his message: Medicare for all and cheaper groceries. Affordable groceries have been his go-to whenever anyone brings up his hesitation to, say, denounce the antisemitic "we're paying more for eggs to kill more children in Palestine" ad from Cenk Uygur's Rebellion PAC. James Carville's line, "the economy, stupid," still holds, and there's a good chance moderate Republicans and independents will blame President Donald Trump for not lowering grocery prices on Day 1.]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 16:00:43 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/31/affordability-is-important-heres-what-democrats-are-not-doing-about-it-n2433964'One of the Most Brazen Democrat Cheating Scandals in History' Just Got Worse (Compare These Logos)<![CDATA[The "fake Dan Sullivan" saga in Alaska keeps unfolding, and maybe things could get settled faster if anybody could find the candidate who was created out of thin air in an obvious attempt to confuse voters to tip the scale a little bit away from the incumbent Republican of the same name.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 31 Oct 2026 15:47:19 -0400<![CDATA[Doug P.]]>https://twitchy.com/dougp/2026/10/31/one-of-the-most-brazen-democrat-cheating-scandals-in-history-just-got-worse-compare-these-logos-n2433963DHS Secretary Mullin Obliterates Dem Rep's Talking Point About a 'Heartbreaking' ICE Arrest<![CDATA[As we've seen examples of time and time again, congressional Democrats have their top priorities, and protecting American citizens and enforcing immigration laws are not among them.

Campaigning on this final weekend of the Midterm campaign in Carlsbad, N.M., U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) reiterates that the pre-election polls are wrong and predicts the GOP will retain control of the House on November 3rd. Meantime, the aftermath of Israel’s elections this week have left Prime Minister BENJAMIN NETANYAHU’s future uncertain; CBN Middle East Bureau chief CHRIS MITCHELL offers the latest updates from Jerusalem. U.S. Rep MICHAEL McCAUL (R-TX) warns that if Democrats control Congress after Tuesday’s Midterm elections, “that will gravely weaken America’s military and our foreign policy.” And TONY PERKINS’ commentary once again urges listeners to text VOTE to 67742 to get a free, personalized voter guide they can consider before casting their Midterm ballots, which he urges everyone to do.
