Ugh. I ordered a bunch of smoke from Canada. Anyone know what the tariff is going to be on that?

Exploding rockets and cars that spontaneously combust should have been a clue.

Some advice to the doom and gloom crowd who wanna speedrun straight to armed rebellion/dystopic hoarding - if I can’t trust you to show up to city council meetings and give public comment, what the fuck makes you think I’m going to trust you with a weapon at my back?

Pope, you in trouble, bro.

The casual cruelty does still take my breath away.

Speaking of illegal campaign contributions…

Unchecked alliances between tech billionaires and authoritarian states have compromised America’s national security. An FBI Agent has gone public about a Russian intelligence operation that snared fElon Musk and Peter Thievil. kyivinsider.com/fbi-agent-go...

It’s a gorgeous day where i am. Hope your day is as pleasant.

Friday good news!

Trump is literally taking credit for things that were announced when Biden was still in office.

The AEA decision granting the temporary injunction to the NDTX detainees illustrates how the Trump admin shot itself in the foot with Abrego Garcia. By insisting they can’t fix an error, they increased the irreparable harm and need for urgency in protecting due process rights

Great thread!

🧵 SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET WAY FUCKING WORSE. 🧵 1. In grad school, the Challenger was one of the case studies. My professor pointed out that we often ask how something like this could happen, when the better question is why shit like this doesn't happen MORE often.

"There’s a case for getting rid of all those papers and notes one's accumulated over the years. But there could be an original Magna Carta hidden in those piles of papers in the basement! How terrible if it were discarded in a misguided frenzy of spring cleaning!" www.thebulwark.com/p/i-called-t...

Donald Trump took us from the leading economy in the world to our bond rating being downgraded from ā€˜AAA’ in just four months. So, to answer their stupid question…it can get worse.

Eighty 6 Forty 7

We learned that last year

How are we letting this happen? Georgia is now Gilead

Not a big Bruce Springsteen fan but pretty sure ā€œBorn in the USAā€ is a protest song that calls out government and society for mistreating our veterans while still proclaiming a proud (if not ironic) love of country. Can’t think of anything more poignant and important right now, so of course…

They received presidential pardons for this ā€˜message’ and it wasn’t seashells on a beach.

Poor little PAB has his knickers in a knot. He’s so jealous of The Boss. www.rawstory.com/bruce-spring...

I produce reality TV. Read my bio. It’s all true. I’ve developed shows with interesting, and at times, fringe people. Aside from the disgusting premise of producing a real-life Running Man with DHS and Noem, there’s no fucking way a network’s BA/Legal department lets this show get made. Sick people

ARM THE SWIFTIES!!!

Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift will be remembered as Americans who positively contributed to society. Donald Trump will be remembered as the one who tried to destroy it.

I'm doing a live with @kellyscaletta.bsky.social and some other fine folks. Somebody has to talk truth to the lefties. youtube.com/live/J95VdA_...

Meet Rob Worsoff. He's the inbred MAGAt that wants to make a show pitting immigrants against each other with Noem, the puppy killer. Maybe someone, or multiple someones, should contact his manager and tell him our thoughts on the matter. What do you think?

Happy Friday šŸ•ŗšŸ½

We can give every illegal immigrant due process because Joe Biden did it and still is on pace to deport more immigrants than Trump will.
