Fuck. More bad news.

Wait til they find out Mexicans and Canadians already are North Americans

extrapolation tells me by 2032 we’ll have a 260% chance of getting obliterated 🙌

NATO, if you're listening, I promise you'd be greeted as liberators.

Elon Musk has reportedly spent $40M on a series of Super Bowl ads that will air tonight attacking USAID's "wasteful spending." Please help counter this by telling people that USAID has, already.. 1. Purchased HIV treatment from U.S. pharma companies to keep 1M pp alive for 1 year.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

Another deep wound inflicted against American medicine, science and health by Musk’s juvenile night crew of data thieves following the Project 2025 playbook, which Trump disavowed in the campaign.

@edsolomon.bsky.social Unfortunately there’s a fake Ed Solomon account that’s just appeared on here. Everyone block and report the fake @edsolomon0001.bsky.social

Trump just launched a trade war against Canada over fentanyl. The US seized - wait for it - 43 pounds at the US-Canada border last year. 43 pounds.

Because the gerontocracy that is the Dem leadership keeps bringing carefully parsed, poll-tested policy positions to a meth-fueled, feces-flinging cage match.

“Brand new??” If *I* knew - in the 80’s - that they were planning a 5 decade assault on the courts, local govts, school boards, etc., that’d land them EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE NOW, how the FUCK did you not? Also: have you been asleep the entire 8 years since he was ELECTED PRESIDENT ONCE ALREADY?

Aside from the abject truth that migrants statistically commit less crimes than US born citizens, this mass deportation assault is essentially a kind of ethnic cleaning and it’s one of the ugliest, most grotesque acts of false “patriotism” I’ve ever witnessed. It’s repugnant and immoral.

“[Gaza] could be better than Monaco,” Trump replied. “It has the best location in the Middle East, the best water, the best everything.” (Over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed and 75+ percent of its 2.3 million people have been displaced.) www.politico.eu/article/gaza...

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Come for the egg prices, stay for the utter desecration of every value and freedom that once made America, well, great.

Immigration is such a strange concept—we’re a species on a planet, yet we can’t live wherever we want.

Decades ago I worked on a show that had what would now be known as a “DEI hire.” Last night I googled everyone on the show. Of the 14 other writers I worked with, he is the only one still employed.

Abject heinous moral bankruptcy aside, the jokes aren’t even funny

No words

“How did you go morally bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

H/t George Conway — it’s perfect 🤣 from Olivia Julianna:

Wait - are we an oligarchical kleptocracy or a kleptocratic oligarchy? Thx in advance

I’m still having trouble believing he was president the first time
