This administration is an embarrassment & a disgrace. After 80 years of solidarity with our allies, Trump & Vance have shamelessly embraced authoritarian governments & their dictators. And Fox News thinks Zelenskyy needs to apologize?? The US owes the free world an apology.

I hope no one (other than Trump sycophants) visits the Kennedy Center for the next 4 years.

I live in Missouri, so I’ll have the Super Bowl on in the background so I can occasionally check out a commercial or 2, & the score. But mostly I’m spending the time finishing the latest Robert Crais’ novel, The Big Empty. It’s one of his best.

Do you think Ivanka Trump realized how batshit crazy her father had actually become, & that’s why she wanted nothing to do with his campaign or second term?

So if Elon & his mini minions go over the line in any of their actions, don’t worry, our Inspector Generals will rein him in. Oh, wait…

Welcome to the Anxiety Age. Hoping that it lasts “only” 4 years.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

It seems obvious to me that the biggest news over the weekend was the takeover by Musk & his DOGE minions of our treasury computers. Reading the NYTIMES on my phone this morning, & it finally appears in their 11th story! And it doesn’t even rate a mention in their Morning newsletter. What the hell?!

Since Trump is doing everything he can to erase all traces of DEI, how long will it be before he comes for Title IX?

I just googled, “If I own a company, can I hire only white men from now on?” Answer: “No that would be illegal because of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.” Me: But Trump just revoked that.” Google: Crickets. Good luck to those of us who aren’t white males (preferably Christian).

Elon just did this…

Is anyone really surprised that convicted rapist Trump is trying to force himself on Greenland, Canada & Panama after they said no?

If you must blow up a vehicle, I appreciate those who blow up something as butt ugly as the Tesla Cybertruck.

MIZ! Brady Cook—We’re gonna miss you!
