Screenshot of Democratic party protest (except Al Green) during the Trump speech

If anyone you know decided to take a drink every time Trump says "like never has been seen before" I beg you, please send an ambulance to their address.

This is like watching a pep rally at Slytherin.

Blasting the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" theme music as I watch Trump walk in and it actually helps

Good night, Canada. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely tariff you in the morning.

Someone oughta tell him that 23% of employees at McDonalds have admitted to sneezing in the French fry bin at least once in their careers, and that a study showed Diet Coke production is frequently contaminated by rodent feces, but it's impossible to tell which cans. Disinformation works two ways.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

Given the heartless, bigoted, and cruel anti-trans garbage in the executive orders, I suppose there's some irony in that I feel absolutely no shame in deadnaming the Gulf of Mexico or Denali.
