This may be my favourite rename of the gulf yet. For the record, this joke is targeted at the Melon Felon, his puppet masters, and every single American who voted for the cruel orange traitor. I and Canada stand in solidarity with all you resisters in your efforts to take your country back. 🇨🇦✊️🇺🇲

Hollywood stars dressed up as their "childhood heroes and heroines," reported Glamour of Hollywood magazine (March 1941). Wilkie Mahoney was the "bobbing front end of a horse, with a sign which read 'I’ve always wanted to play the front end.'" FYI, Bette Davis was a ballerina.

"This is one of the heartbreaking ordeals of joke writing. You might not end up in the poorhouse, but the chances are great you'll end up with a broken heart." Wilkie Mahoney, in an anecdote for aspiring comedy writers.

To all who commemorate legacy media's decline, happy one month anniversary of the Washington Post telling us that Pam Bondi should be confirmed as Attorney General. Don't get fooled again. Support independent, pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.
