Just thinking about TACOS

Best thing I saw all day.

Big Billionaire Bill Call it what it is.

From my daughter in Denver

I’m ready to move to Oklahoma and teach the 7th and 10th commandments in depth to all my students. We will study adultery and coveting one’s neighbor’s wife and one’s neighbor’s man servant using multiple examples from the Bible itself, as well as throughout literature and history.

Abortion bans are a violation of the separation of church and state. So are book bans. So are anti-LGBT laws. So are school vouchers. Notice a pattern?

Parenting tip: If your adult child invites you to take the free Harvard Constitution course with him, say yes. www.edx.org/learn/govern...

This #MemorialDay, we pause to honor the brave men and women who selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice for all our freedom. Let’s commit to be worthy of the heroic actions too many have made for those freedoms we take for granted.

Respect!!! @harvard.edu 😍 The link to the FREE GOVERNMENT COURSES is ... pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

Every time I hear a republican say “Big Beautiful Bill” I am struck with how stupid they sound. I think Trump could’ve named it the “Bibble Babble Bubble Bill” and the sycophantic republicans would repeat it with a straight face.

BREAKING: Pentagon says it accepted Qatar's gift of a luxury jet plane for President Trump's use as Air Force One, which has sparked outrage from critics. @dccartoonist.bsky.social

Iowa

Say it with your chest.

It certainly will here in rural southwest Iowa.

Sadly, this is a lost clause.

Probably the most unrealistic part of The Cask of Amontillado was him finishing a construction project in one day

IOWA: “It is a complete pleasure to hear somebody speak in complete sentences.” *Pete Buttigieg gets a rousing Ovation at the #VoteVetsTownHall* 👏🏽

“We concluded that we have a shared interest,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (according to NYT). I guess this means we DO need China? Hmmmmm. I wonder how that guy who closed his shoe store is feeling now.

Reading Anna Karenina. The defining trait of the aristocracy is their boredom, ever bemoaning the tedious parties and insufferable European vacations. If they were alive today, they’d be just as bored, lining up for 11-minute space flights.

Look! I spotted a bald eagle on the trail this morning #PoetLife

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

I’m waiting for Trump‘s Mother’s Day tweet. He’ll be praising all mothers even the leftist hoe bags and ugly ones like Ted Cruz‘s wife. Oh, and Melania, but not Marla, and no mention of the forgotten grave on the golf course. See if I’m right.

So instead of trade deals he’s just going to publicly negotiate with himself until he walks back the tariffs? We get a couple of months of supply chain shock and nothing to show for it besides damaged relationships across the world.
