The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property. With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger. That’s why I’m posting it today.

All of these MAGA people in DC are complaining about not having anything to do now that the Inauguration is indoors. Something tells me the Holocaust Museum isn’t going to see a spike in visitors though.

Mark my words: right now, it's an editorial cartoon being killed by the brass of The Washington Post. Pretty soon, it's a major story about Trump's corruption being killed by the brass. This will happen. Get ready for it.

This is what's so exhausting about the current moment: constantly having to decide whether this is an actual person, whether anyone wrote this paper I'm grading, whether this "news source" actually exists, if this is my bank or a scammer. It's maddening. Like, it will literally drive us all mad.

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA, Remember when Donald Trump promised he’d lower your taxes and didn’t, that he would get you healthcare coverage but didn’t, that he’d lower the cost of your prescriptions, fix your roads and your bridges…

Here’s a truth bomb. There are NO primary schools in the United States teaching children CRT. There is however millions of parents in the United States teaching children that felonies and sexual assault are absolutely OK. #DemVoice1.

Kay Granger, a still sitting Republican Congresswoman, has been missing votes in DC because she's been living in a nursing home for the past six months, and none of her colleagues said a damn thing. But they were out there saying Biden was “mentally unfit.” Are you f’ng kidding me?

Understand this… every penny Elon squeezes out of the federal budget will find its way into subsidizing the effects and ambitions of the 1%. Not a single penny will find its way to us, our states, or things real people need. Not a penny. The man trying to be a trillionaire will steal it from us
