More of this from the courts or we are lost as a country

Somedays things are just too damn hard

Space Force Commander of base in Greenland fired for not parroting the Trump Administration bullshit

New from me at Cato: Trump's penalty orders have taken a scary new turn, selecting targets for having taken a stand on behalf of the integrity of the U.S. election system, and ordering the Dept. of Justice to investigate an evidently innocent man, Chris Krebs. /1 www.cato.org/blog/new-rev...

The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country. The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US. He had a golf tournament to get to.

This isn't The Big Short, it's The Big Shit. Trump decided to take a huge 💩 on the economy, because of his delusional obsession with tariffs. Have the economy you voted for.

Really looking forward to Jeff Bezos' forceful public condemnation of Trump's tariffs since he is so committed to "free markets" that he made a rule that every opinion piece published in the Washington Post must support "free markets" For some reason, Bezos hasn't said anything yet. Must be busy.

Markets tumbling, chaos across the globe, and the Trump Administration is basically commenting "thoughts and prayers" 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Kevin Williamson at @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social knocking it out of the park again

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.

Finally! Some good news! www.mysanantonio.com/lifestyle/ou...

Here's a DoD memo from 2023 laying out the rules for use of non government messaging apps: dodcio.defense.gov/Portals/0/Do...

Alger Hiss went to prison for lying about betraying plans for a new Navy fire extinguisher. law2.umkc.edu/faculty/proj...

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.” Do I have that just about right?

A library had one entrance for the U.S. and Canada for 100 years. Not anymore. Why? DRUG TRAFFICKING, according to the Trump Administration. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

INNOCENT refugee sent to torture prison camp in El Salvador by Trump Administration 😡

Well Thanksgiving is going to be a little awkward

Happy March 15 to the President of the United States and all his team.

In a new executive order, Trump has targeted the federal agency charged with distributing congressionally approved funds to state libraries and to library, museum, and archives program grant recipients. www.everylibrary.org/statementiml...

Staff members with Rep. Mark Messmer’s office asked employees at the Boonville Public Library to call the police on constituents – even though the mostly older attendees weren’t breaking any rules, the library’s director confirmed Wednesday. www.courierpress.com/story/news/l...

Well fuck. Texas is now trying to Doge itself and all employees at Texas Workforce Commission have to work in office starting 3/31. They're about to lose some of their best employees just to make sure everyone breathes the same air 🙄

JD Vance is a giant pile of shit. Berating and scolding a grown man who has spent three years fighting tooth and nail for the sovereignty of his country, while the most difficult thing you've ever done is write a shitty book and suck up to Trump.

They'll confirm ANYBODY. ANYBODY. I want to punch a wall

"Elon has no idea what he’s talking about. Want proof? If we followed Elon’s own logic, then he too would be guilty of being in on this sinister government gravy train. Take a journey with me." NEW from @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-musk-...

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

President Elon is MyPillowing Tesla and I'm here for it 😆 fortune.com/2025/02/11/e...

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

For the visual learners...

And in “I’m not as crazy as I thought and that is somehow not great news news” it turns out my crippling anxiety was mostly just intuition and that intuition was pretty spot on

Musk is behaving as if he BOUGHT the United States government like he bought Twitter.

Trying to force emotional intimacy while not prioritizing the elements that are REQUIRED for emotional connection makes no sense. It's as if you baked a cake missing key ingredients and are angry and confused when the result is inedible.

If Canada is such a drain on the U.S. and we “subsidize” them too much according to Donald Trump… Then why TF is he begging them to become the 51st state? Riddle me that, MAGA.

Trump ran on a pledge to immediately lower prices and now admits his policies will inflict “PAIN” on Americans in the form of higher prices but it will be “worth the price”

Way back in 2016, @GOP believed the truth: the economy is just a complex set of interactions between people, and govt should facilitate that. Tariffs are the opposite. It’s big govt. And they say I changed. LOL

Happy Trade Wars, everyone! May the odds be forever in your favor!

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but doesn’t hiring a raging alcoholic day drunk to run the Defense Department seem like a fairly fucking bad idea?

Trump thinks tariffs fix everything. Why would Russia give two toots about tarrifs. They're being sanctioned five ways to Sunday already 🙄

Daniel Ball, the guy who was charged for setting off an explosive device during the J6 attack on our Capitol and had his case tossed by Donald Trump's mass clemency grants, was just arrested for federal gun charges.

No, no, no. Not a Nazi salute! I mean, it looks JUST like one and it'd get him arrested in Germany and any other person who isn't the shadow president and the richest man alive fired EVERYWHERE, but it's not.

Who made this 🤣
