My 15 year old dachshund, licking her paw. I love her 🩵. She just had a nice nap in my craft room.

Idiocracy was a documentary

Oh, Edolf and the Technobratz are DROOLING over Social Security.

Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

🚨 On next week’s pod, we’re going to run down a TOP 10 LIST of people responsible for the rise of MAGA in America. Trump doesn’t count. Who paved the way for Trump’s brand of politics? Who made him not only possible, but successful? Leave your nominees in reply! (We might share them on the show.)

His brain is cooked

Yup. Seek truth, not comfort. Do the hard thing.

For those who missed it, Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate and long-time NYTimes columnist on economics, left the Times for Substack because the NYTimes, the bastion of freedom asked him to be more conservative. In other words, they didn't want facts, they wanted conservative facts.

NO KINGS, ONLY TRAINS is a pretty great 2028 slogan for anyone who wants it

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

Russia has been planning this coup for a long time. Putin is finally getting his revenge for the USSR's collapse. It was always personal for him. As Nikita Khrushchev said in 1956: “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within”.

Donald Trump, putting the bully in “bully pulpit”.

Delta Airlines really needs to remove Fox News from its inflight streaming. A woman in the row in front of me watched it nonstop for three hours and EVERY segment I caught the headline for was lies, misinformation, and disinformation. It was a travesty.

Half of the world is having a tough time letting the other half just live their lives.

Lost our jobs, getting bad medical care, Veterans Crisis Line failing... yeah, this is going to go well. I do not recognize this country anymore.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

It's Friday. Whatever.

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

"A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? What duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?" -- George Washington

It was only a matter of time before car manufacturers started running commercials on their infotainment systems as a means of extorting money to remove them. This is annoying, intrusive and distracting - and should be illegal. fortune.com/2025/02/13/j...

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

My grocery bill was so high it gave me an immediate hot flash! It’s 25 degrees outside so I rushed the groceries to the car but now I am frozen to the bone. I managed to return my cart, but holy cow, I think I have icicles at the nape of my neck?! Perimenopause isn’t for the faint of heart.

Slyngstad cartoons

Why the hell can’t these editors see the twisted, tortured, mess they have made by trying to please ‘both sides’ on every issue. It’s IMPOSSIBLE! One side supports hacks and conspiracies and has no morality or core values, one side does the job for the public. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

😣This is why we "must" fight! The "Destroyer" is destroying our country! #Thisiswhywefight #Bluecrew #Resistance #Resist

Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Get your passports, women. The Save Act: You're next.

How cool is this??!! 🚨Good news !!🚨 Jazzsky www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

🇺🇦 "If you are so generous to Russia, why not give her a piece of your country? Why should any sovereign country satisfy Russia? Let me ask, on what basis does Russia deserve anything — especially someone else's territory?" - 🇵🇱 President Duda

“Betrayed. First Zelensky, Soon Us?” The headline of today’s cover of Der Spiegel, one of Germany’s most renowned weekly magazines.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

America's greatest force multiplier and global strength has been its network of allies. Popular lore now sees them as a burden. So America is killing its alliances. The Trump-Musk-Vance administration's moves are an act of epic self-harm.

A terrific, timely and accurate piece from @edwardluce.bsky.social about the wanton destruction Elon and DOGE are inflicting on those who serve the American people.

A Financial Times investigative documentary has found evidence that Russian executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war are not isolated incidents but are likely to be part of a broader pattern that points to a systematic policy. Watch the full documentary here: on.ft.com/3Qs7oDW
