I love how we all believe we can read the mind of a literal madman, and all have our own versions of the proverbial "briar patch." Maybe people should just do the right fncking thing and stop being so concerned with optics.

Use WATER only to flush eyes after exposure. Do NOT wear contacts to protests (or take them out if you’re happen to be in public in an escalating scenario). Bag up your clothes immediately upon returning home after exposure until you can wash or dispose of them.

Thou shalt remember that President Trump hired a “big time drug addict” to destroy the government and was fine with that. Thou shalt also remember that Elon Musk funded and worked for a man he knew to be a pedophile and was fine with that.

What Elon Musk didn’t realize is that reducing the deficit is not—and has never been—the GOP’s priority. The big priorities (since Reagan) are cutting taxes and increasing military spending. Hence deficits regularly go up when Republicans are in power.

The Trump-Fox News "autopen" thing is so obviously contrived and so clearly bad faith that it barely warrants discussion. Except that it's part of the effort to cast any non-Trump politics as illegitimate. Gift link: wapo.st/4jAuxA8

My latest — I wrote about Trump pardoning reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley’s tax and bank fraud convictions after their daughter praised him at the RNC vs. 18-year-old Marcelo Gomes da Silva’s wrongful ICE detainment, and how justice has merely become a presidential transaction. Read here:
