Trump says eggs have gone down 25% in the "past couple of weeks." Content creators:" record yourself at several stores, putting $8 eggs on conveyor belt and telling checker, "My president says egg prices are down 25%, so I'll give you $6 for these." Instant viral. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmLP...

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

Let this sink in.

Could have written the same headline on Election Night and every day since. "Groundhog Day" comes to life.

Regarding claims that that angry constituents at GOP town halls are “paid protestors:” How do you get a "paid protestor" gig? Do you have to register with Uber Protest? What is the pay? Do you get paid holidays, overtime, health care and a matching 401-K? Are there snacks?

Elon Musk told all federal workers to respond to an email summarizing their weekly accomplishments. “Please reply to this email with approximately five bullet points of what you accomplished this week and CC your manager.” So Elon is Charles Miner and the entire federal workforce is Jim Halpert.

I am going to start posting stories that document deaths that can be attributed to the cuts mandated by Elon Musk's lawless, unconstitutional "DOGE." I am going to use #DOGEDeathsDocumented as a hashtag. Please tag me if you see verified stories like this. www.yahoo.com/news/us-aid-...

America is the only democracy with free speech protections so extreme they protect the right to lie for profit so long as your “product” is politics.

Looks like Musk/Trump Administration (AKA Das Trumpenreich) is trying to bring back the Dark Ages -- literally. www.kgw.com/article/news...

Today I can mark myself (or my checking account) "safe" from Elon Musk's DOGEbag Brigade. My Social Security is deposited to my account on the second Wednesday of each month. I was on pins and needles until I went online this morning to see if I had become a victim of the War on Fraud and Waste. 1/2

Who's the little guy behind the big desk?

Republican senators from agricultural states like Iowa promoting tariff exceptions for the good farmers THEY serve remind me of the famous William Saroyan quote about death: "Everybody has got to die, but I have always believed an exception would be made in my case."

The “me exception” strikes again. They want Trump to hurt people, just not them.

So how’s it going so far?

Who made this?! 😂

Gotta love ppl who work in book shops

To the extent Dems can make Elon the avatar for the most grotesquely regressive elements of the Trump agenda, we have a shot at surviving the next four years.

Elon: I didn't come here to be insulted. BlueSky users: Where do you usually go? BADUMPUM I'll be here all week.

this is a dril tweet

I know "Pottersville" in 'It's A Wonderful Life" is meant to portray the kind of hellhole Bedford Falls would have become if George Bailey had never been born But, man, in fine, upstanding Bedford Falls, there were an awful lot of townsfolk crowded into Martini's Bar on Christmas Eve.

It's Christmas Eve once again -- George Bailey's "crucial night." I have some thoughts about why, for many people, it's not Christmas until they've made their annual pilgrimage back to Bedford Falls. fohrhairedboy.blogspot.com/2011/12/ther...
