I am a children’s book art director, and that’s it. That is my entire vibe. Oh, and pop culture stuff. Right right right—I’m also drawn to politics like a mosquito to a bug zapper.

He has a 40% approval rating as of right now. He’d drop 12 points as president in his first 100 days.

This is Secretary Pete level.
Passes it, even.

This is good. More of this, please.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

Mar-a-lago was the “Winter White House” in term 1. In term 2, the actual White House is Mar-a-lago.

And a once great news rag dishes on it like a tabloid.

He is so good. The more the public sees him, the more they like him.

An 80 year old running for a 6-year term is not playing it at all safe.

Bailing out Bessent’s billionaire friends on Wall Street from their bad investments is much more important.

We need the senate back. The math looks bad. Susan Collins is 8-10 pts behind Platner, who is the real deal. This is so stupid I could scream. These elderly democrats need to retire and stay that way.

There is no winning scenario a democrat can’t look in the eye and say “how can I fuck this up?”

Jim Hoover @jimhoover017.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely stupid. Democrats learn not a thing.
