So, a government preaching fiscal prudence and efficiency is simultaneously sidelining productive members of the economy and housing them indefinitely in camps at taxpayer expense? Make it make sense. #immigration #fortbliss

I was manifesting a skinny, rich, and totally sane 2025, but it looks like I’m settling for carbs, chardonnay, chaos, and resurrecting this blog instead. The intro rant is posted and much more to come. #DoomscrollButMakeItFun #SkinnyRichAndOtherDelusions

The last king we had was also kind of an idiot. We’ve got this.

For 16 years, U.S. aviation had a perfect record—ZERO major commercial plane crashes. Then Trump returned and in just 29 days the USA has had seven crashes, 15 aviation disasters, and 85 dead, on pace for this over 1,000 dead this year via plane crash.

Trump wants to rush Boeing to finish new Air Force 1 jets? Brilliant idea! I mean, what could possibly go wrong after their recent stellar engineering performance?

It seems baffling that a resistant Republican coalition hasn't formed. While I acknowledge the electoral consequences are real, one would think the stakes for democracy are higher. A small number of principled senators and representatives could make a critical difference. Where are they?

Calling this “tone-deaf" would be an insult to the tone-deaf. This isn't an oversight, it's a declaration. A declaration that decorum is dead. They're not just flexing; they're mooning us with their power. (And I don’t love the view).

What happened to Vivek Ramaswamy? Wasn’t he also supposed to be leading DOGE aka the coup?

NIH caps on indirect costs now on pause for Wisconsin and 21 other states. Thankful for @joshkaulwi.bsky.social who is making sure WI is included in every suit against the Trump administration.

Every $1 of funding distributed by the NIH produces $2.46 in economic returns for the United States (and I have seen other estimates as high as $8). We need to recognize this attack for what it is: a power grab disguised as fiscal prudence. Keep paying attention.

I’m a little late to the party but last night I watched the Martha documentary on Netflix. I had no recollection that her insider trading case was prosecuted by Jim Comey. Between Martha and Hilary that man may have single handedly set American women back 30 years. Fuck that guy man.

We were surprised how often men thought about the Roman Empire. Perhaps we should have asked how often they thought about Nazi Germany.

Dear Senators Blackburn, Britt, Moore Capito, Ernst, Fischer, Hyde-Smith, Lumis, Moody. Are you serious right now?

I’m ready to annul this presidency. The grounds? Fraud, misrepresentation, duress, coercion, mental incapacity, and probably also impotence. Can someone send me a form?

Halting public health communications during a bird flu outbreak is probably not going to bring down the price of eggs. Just saying.

I had my first espresso martini in 2006. These are not new. Why the sudden burst of enthusiasm?

Receiving automated rejections for jobs I am overqualified for while Dr. Oz is tapped to run CMS is not something I was prepared for.
