Why does this mass production pencil sketch at Target look like the pre-viz for Gru’s dog Kyle?

👀

Finally figured out who Elon reminds me of.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

This is fine. 🔥 www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

I'm genuinely confused how Secretary Hegseth can call for $50 billion in Defense cuts, but the Senate GOP budget bill provides a $150 billion boost to the Pentagon.

You know it’s bad when this is the post’s cover

Look I’m not happy about what’s happening in Washington, but I will tell you this is the year I claim my staggering iced coffee costs as a medical expense. 🤔🤷🏻 

Now that all these Park Rangers are getting laid off, it's my big chance to go to Yellowstone and ride a moose!

😂

The Paramount movie I want to watch is not on Paramount + nor the Paramount Network, but I *can* watch it for $19.99 on Apple or Amazon. *And probably with ads.

An extension of the FEMA relief funds that Biden provided to you is DENIED, Georgia. Here's your big #FO we warned your dumbass about!

In the spirit of Bennifer and Brangelina, can we call Trump and Musk "Trumpsk?"

Spot on.

Re: Captain America Brave New World. Why pay $20 to see it in theaters when I can watch an angry red president destroy the White House for free on C-Span?

America's been killing Kennedys for so long, now there's a Kennedy trying to kill all of us!

When @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social needs a Pete Hegseth, I hope they reach out to Daniel Tosh - he's perfect.

Instead of dyeing eggs this Easter, looks like we’ll be dyeing chicken nuggets. 🤷🏻

This! ⬇️

The only thing that the 1987 Amerika miniseries got wrong was that the hostile takeover of the United States was going to require military force.

The year is 2033. Trump is in the 9th year of his Presidency. Inflation is at 110% annually. He still calls it Biden's Inflation.

Tax the Bond Villains.

I see three toddlers in this photo.

Given the historical significance, I'd be fine calling it the Gulf of Chicxulub.

Google trying to have it both ways. It's all performative. *It's Gulf of America for U.S. users, Gulf of Mexico in Mexico, and for the rest of the world it's clumsily both.

Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins have indicated they will vote to confirm Tulsi Gabbard. This comes as no surprise, since Murkowski and Collins also voted to confirm Larry Vaughn as Mayor in Jaws 2.

How were there *two* separate Super Bowl commercials built around the same gimmick? Little Caeser's w/ Eugene Levy's eyebrows flying off his face, and Pringles with Nick Offerman's mustache flying off his face?? Same ad company? Corporate espionage??

Congrats to Andy Reid who was never able to coach the Eagles to a Super Bowl Victory... until tonight.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Good for Judge Engelmayer! He rightly saw the legal imperative of immediate relief to preserve and protect the evidence of executive branch abdication to a veritable Muskocracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Trump's taking over the Kennedy Center?? I'd like to be the first to congratulate Tony Hinchcliffe on his Mark Twain Prize. ::eyeroll::

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Let Michael Steele take over Morning Joe as Morning Steele, and give Andrea Mitchell's slot to Katie Phang or Jim Acosta. @msnbc.com

I wouldn’t trust Elon Musk to audit the Government any more than I would trust Cookie Monster to audit Chips Ahoy. The only difference is that Cookie Monster has Jim Henson’s arm up his butt, while Elon has Trump’s.

Elon's lackeys are basically high school kids. We should lock the doors and servers with manual transmissions and rotary phones.

Ferris Bueller warned us: "The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act, which, anyone? Raised or lowered? *Raised* tariffs in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did *not* work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression."

"In four years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you're not gonna have to vote." Trump 7/26/24 "Our little secret is having a big impact. [Mike Johnson] and I have a secret. We'll tell you what it is when the race is over." Trump 10/27/24

Former USAID official: “(DOGE teams) took down the USAID Memorial Wall which honored employees killed in the line of duty overseas…Lebanon in the 1980s, USAID personnel killed during the bombing of the U.S. Embassy. These attacks are spurious and dangerous….It is a gift to our enemies.”

If you don't want migrants flooding the US border, you have to make their home countries more livable. Hence, USAID.

USAID is less than 1% of the U.S. budget.

USAID stops wars. Free trade stops wars. Immigration stops wars.
