Dozens of people were killed and catastrophic damage across multiple red states due to tornados & wildfires this weekend and Trump is tweeting about winning his club championship in Palm Beach and going to the awards dinner tonight. Well done, MAGA. You picked a real winner.

Buying an EV to own the libs was not on my 2025 bingo card. We’ll see how many actually do it.

Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for a couple of decades. With a GOP Supermajority, over 30% of our schools are on a four-day week. We fund vouchers for private religious schools. Our starting teachers are 50th in the nation for pay and they pay for their own supplies.

I think Dems should consider doing hearings of their own outside of Congress. Rent hotel ballrooms, bring our own witnesses, make our big arguments, get stuff on the record. Early topics - illegal/unconstitutional disassembly of US govt, Trump selling out to Putin, his reckless econ policies.

Welfare Queen…

Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they: - gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC - gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration - sponsored an inaugural party - hired Trump’s campaign manager - listed Trump’s meme coin And now the investigation is closed. These are called bribes.

The billionaires have been working on their merger with the evangelicals and “conservatives” for decades…abortion was the wedge issue to get Christians to vote against their own good. It was never about babies. It was to bring about a coup…it is an oligarchy taking over the US inch by inch.

An important point to keep in mind.

A bad faith actor…

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

The same people wailing about DEI literally can’t spell their own job title.

it's dismantling infrastructure week

what's stupider, that Trump claimed the military opened an imaginary faucet in California, that every MAGA moron believed it, or that the media is acting like Trump isn't a batshit fucking lunatic

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump. “I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.” Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

I guess the naming of the Gulf of Mexico was a bigger deal than I thought 🤣

A refreshing perspective in sour times

“For years I’ve been saying that we should call it the Gulf of America“, said no one ever.

Yeah that was targeting

I don’t recall seeing Elon as a candidate for president when I voted. Seems like he thinks he is about to be in charge.

Thank goodness the brilliant Herschel Walker got an important job in the administration as…Ambassador to the Bahamas?

After getting Mexico to pay for the wall, I thought the genius would easily lower grocery prices. It’s almost like that was just an empty promise.

Fun fact; the USA is already the world’s leading producer of crude oil. The idea of “drill baby drill” seems unnecessary.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who is determined to turn up the volume and EXPOSE all of the brutal, deadly consequences of abortion bans in America. They're not "pro-life." They're pro controlling women's bodies.

I am so excited to tell you that our problems are over!
