If you’re 25 chapters into a book ‘hanging on until it gets better’ is some silly dork advice. Nah, my darling, it’s just not for you. Set it aside and read what you enjoy. Dragging yourself through a book you don’t vibe with is silliness. Time for reading isn’t always plentiful! Read what you love!

66,000 tons of food are rotting away in USAID warehouses thanks to Trump and DOGE. That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids. In what world is starving children "efficient"?

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success. Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

the constitution says you must be 35 to be eligible to serve as president. now, let’s say a presidential nominee was born on february 29, 1972, a leap year. and let’s say they were running in 2024. now, technically, they would only be 13. you could say they were ineligible. but that’s stupid! (1)
