JD is getting grumpy without his favorite couch.

An important point to keep in mind.

😳

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

The sledgehammer approach is madness. America is not a company you can strip for parts.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I'm genuinely sorry for your personal loss. But not for our nation's loss. Your brother was a toxic, lying influence that instrumentally contributed to the current environment of hate, division, and disinformation. We are all better without him. Bye, girl!

How many plane crashes and mass shootings will it take for Americans to care about their own safety? 🤔

Fuck Marco Rubio. That spineless, feckless fucking weathercuck of a doormat flunky. Fuck him.

"Fuck you, make me" > "Do not comply in advance."

More of this, America.

The U.S. aid freeze threatens millions. UNAIDS warns halting HIV/AIDS funding could cause 6M deaths by 2029. Hope for Ukraine struggles to provide essentials as civilians freeze. In Congo, aid cuts force groups to halt operations, leaving many vulnerable. This undermines global trust in U.S. aid.

According to doctors' office visits for flu-like symptoms, this year's flu season is the worst in ~15 years. The CDC estimates that there have been at least 24 million flu illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations, & 13,000 deaths. Nothing to do with MAGA anti-vaxxers not getting the flu shot. 🙄

Reposting me let's your followers know you like alternative rock

As of this moment, Canadians are united as one in defiance of tyranny. Americans? Most Americans have no idea that the idiot monster they elected because they forgot to vote has started a massive trade war that will upend their lives.

TENNESSEAN: “Multiple Canadian provinces pulling American alcohol from store shelves in response to tariffs rolled out by Trump…” (Tennessee is a top alcohol export state) #TrumpTradeWar www.tennessean.com/story/money/...

In case you’re wondering what’s about to get MORE expensive, helpful FOX scroll. 👀 #TrumpTradeWar

Ahead of Super Bowl 59, sports columnist Rick Cleveland recounts each of the 11 Super Bowls played in New Orleans.

Nobody believes Trump's stupid lie that tariffs are paid by foreign exporters.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

At home: racist rhetoric, statist economics, authoritarian politics. Abroad: predation, aggression, annexation. Has anyone ever tried the Trump policy mix before? How'd it go?

Chuck doesn’t care about the rest of America. Just hook up farmers in Iowa who desperately need Canadian potash. The rest of you can fuck off.

Hey “price of eggs” Trump voters, your rotting gourd god said that prices are going to go up for a “little while” thanks to his tariffs, and that it will cause some “pain”, but that it’s ok, because you “understand.” Do you understand that you voted for higher prices and pain?

Welcome to the Golden Age of Dipshittery.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Now is a time to stay informed. To create a small space in this world of sanity. That you can go to in these times of utter insanity. Do what is right for you. Do it safely to take care of you. Do what you can do. Concentrate on what YOU can only control. Protect your corner.

Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇

My @cnbc.com appearance today commenting on Mr. Kennedy’s hearings and nomination, and my public public health concerns.

Yup.

"The buck stops here"- Harry Truman "I don't take any responsibility at all."- DJT

*chuckle* Yep.

Willem Dafoe should be canonized.

👇🏽🎯🇺🇸

Watching the RFK Jr. Senate hearing today… 😬😑😬 Scary times! We live in the richest country in the world and we can’t keep our citizens healthy. Could it be GREED? Leaders and policy makers have priced healthcare out of reach for many lower and middle class citizens. 🤬

These people who get *furious* at bishops telling Trump to do as Jesus asked and show mercy, and who want to humiliate and punish the poor, have to wear enormous crosses around their necks, because how else would anyone guess they are "Christian"?
