The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us... But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

The United States is no longer the leader of the free world. Let that sink in.

There are firefighters being celebrated on the Oscars stage who are not white men. I was told by my government this is bad.

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

I still haven’t seen JD Vance say “thank you” to the American taxpayers for his little skiing vacation.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Never thought I’d be standing with Mike Pence on anything but… go Mike!

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

This is your daily reminder that both Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell can go fuck themselves forever and ever.

I always thought Elon Musk was the most dangerous man in America but I viewed him as a danger primarily in terms of his wealth and his disinformation power. I didn't realize he would pose an actual threat to our form of government, our national security, and our most sensitive personal data. Sheesh.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

Greenland has a total land area of 836,330 square miles. Using the inflation-adjusted price per square mile paid to Denmark for the U.S. Virgin Islands ($4.5 million), the total cost for Greenland would be approximately $3.77 trillion. Can we do this, and cut taxes too? The world wonders.

Red state life. Over 20 years of Republican majority rule in Missouri means that three days after one snowstorm major roads are still not plowed and safe. MODOT says they are short 200 plow drivers. MO has lowest state employee pay in the country. These clowns can’t handle basic governance. #moleg

My brother has been a wildfire fighter for 10+ years. His top safety advice to me has always been to be the first one on the road. It's doubly true with 0% containment and LA traffic. If you're thinking of evacuating, and your gut is telling you that you'll need to, don't wait for the order. Leave.

Nobody worry, almost half of America just voted for a guy who doesn't believe in climate change so officially none of this is happening

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

Posting this story about how Ann Telnaes got censored not least bc it'll disseminate the image Jeff Bezos censored. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Elon is just saying what every other Republican employer is about to say in 2025 - deport everyone else’s employees, but not mine because I really need them.

In the final minutes of It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey gets to see what the world would look like if it was ruled by a malicious megalomaniac with no empathy and no concern beyond increasing his own personal wealth. Thank goodness that'll never happen.

Also what’s all this talk I’ve been hearing about “gay apparel” and what are Mike Johnson and Nancy Mace gonna do about it, especially now that we get to say “Merry Christmas” again?

this year, I'm giving all my Christmas gifts to the richest child in the neighborhood. I'm sure they'll trickle down to all the other kids eventually

Matt Gaetz: putting the "ick" in ethics.

A fair question.

Before getting your panties all up in a bunch about putting the Christ back in Christmas how about just putting the Christ back in Christian.

Jesus was brought down by the unholy union between religion and empire. So to turn Jesus into a mascot for the unholy union between Christianity and a nation is just about one of the most anti-Jesus things someone could do.

Evidently the GOP really doesn’t have a problem with foreigners taking over the country.
