He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

It's been a while. Here is the boy.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Everything is a land grab for this grifter.

This is what I've been pushing for. It's time for the Democratic Tea Party. I had @walshfreedom.bsky.social on my show yesterday, and he said his record number of town halls was the thing he was most proud of.

The kicker is criminals will escape prosecution by this administration, but law-abiding enemies of Trump will go bankrupt proving their innocence.

Kristi Noem: ‘We can't trust the government anymore.” Dana: “You are the government.” “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.” 🥴

I can't even. *sigh*

I'll be honest, I'm not super confident seeing "the president can't ignore the law" posts about the guy who, by law, should not have been allowed to even run for president again, let alone become it Yeah, he's not allowed to do many of the things he does, but no one's stopping the fucker, are they

Looks like DOGE just made its first cut

This man is a profound danger. Every American should oppose his nomination.

Don’t fool yourself. Senate Republicans are going to confirm them all.

Honestly, the Dems questions today for Hegseth seemed weak, and they let him get away with too much. They need to do better

Jesus Christ

I took some more photos of poor Pepper today. He is so sweet and loving and gentle but nobody has wanted to adopt him just because he looks a little bit scrungly. 😢 Please share with anyone you know in northern Vermont who might be interested! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

This. This. This. And, particularly dangerous when the person driving the car with the blinding headlights is tailgating. Wake up, car manufacturers! These headlights are a nightmare. It's like being tailgated by the sun.

I've been studying cat langagues, and I'm pretty sure that "Meow" translates to "da fuq?"

Chris has it exactly right: a. Cannon has no jurisdiction because of the appeal of the dismissal. She has no power to do jack shit in this case now. b. She’s got no business addressing the 1/6 report not only because of (a) but because that’s totally separate from the case she dismissed. (1/2)

Huge gratitude for our neighbors, Mexico and Canada have sent fire fighters and army to help us.

I'm a vintage everything audio collector This cassette recorder manufactured by Panasonic (RQ-309) was the most popular unit ever manufactured ( Over 100,000,000 units made between 1973 and 1975) Many today, 50 years later still work perfectly. I own 5 of these, brand new in box, never used.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

LA restaurants offering free meals to fire evacuees: Yeastie Boys (Multiple locations) Bar Etoile (East Hollywood) Fiorelli Pizza (Venice) Bé Ù (Silver Lake) Danny Boy's (Downtown + Westwood) Oy Bar (Studio City) Sunday Gravy (Inglewood) Dudley Market (Venice) LaSorted's (Silver Lake)

Here are all of the shelters, food kitchens, evacuation sites, and resources for anyone impacted by the LA fires and for anyone who wants to reach out and help. #PalisadesFire docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

If we're rearranging the continent…

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

A Supreme Court justice called the president elect and asked him for a favor. Sam Alito needs to recuse from any and all cases to which Donald Trump is a party.

Bernie woke up, went on X, and chose violence.

I have serious concerns about Pete Hegseth’s background, including his mismanagement of non-profit organizations, accusations of sexual assault and drinking problems, blatant disregard for the contributions of female service members, and support for war crimes and torture.

Mark Zuckerberg: I built this platform to give the people a voice Me: okay but actually you built it to rate how hot the woman at your school were

The fact that no news channel is discussing the kidnapping of the venezuela oppositions son, but Trump and Greenland is all over, just means it will be four years of the same BS trap

I can’t work out if this robin, who visited today, is a fluffy bundle of fun or a calculating evil bastard.

On the anniversary of Jan. 6, Rudy Giuliani is held in contempt for failing to turn over assets to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who he defamed in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

As soon as I saw this pose, I knew he came to play! lolololol

a great thing about cockatoos is their what are you looking at attitude

Non cat-owner: How can you let your cat.... Me: Let me stop you right there.

Asking for trouble.

VP Kamala Harris: "Today, I did what I have done my entire career, which is take seriously the oath that I have taken many times to support and defend the Constitution of the United States."
