Those trends 'used to be' really great. The good ole days?

Is this current? I feel like I read this months ago. Didn't DOGE already rob the data and leave? What decade of this presidency am I in now?

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

The US jumped into the space age because we were afraid of being beaten. Now someone else is rushing to the front and we let a crazy felon drag us back to the coal age.

I always wanted a Department of Peace. Instead we doubled down going the other way. Don't tell me you're trying for it if you can't even do this much.

Is it ironic that the Scotus might prohibit using race as a factor in creating election districts yet those same states are so EAGER to factor them out so they can win? Just cutting them out of the puzzle entirely. Can't win otherwise!

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Trump on the news bragging how his council of... Investment will basically buy up Gaza and make it casinos. Couldn't be the Saudis, nah.

We have a huge privilege in the US. We can watch pro sports that start with military tributes while armed invasion of our cities happens daily.

Keep watching the indie movies. The acting exists but barely climbs to the front page of Netflix.

I remember when my mother said Who's this Johnny Depp guy? when I was younger. It's our job while aging to have IMDb on hand. 😉

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

Needed to switch gears today. Wondered, does anyone listen to AM radio? Raise your hand. Actually, raise your hand if you've even heard of it and could find it if you wanted to.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I feel like SNL showed up the day before the season started and wrote their jokes. The world is literally upside down but this was your best? You had all summer! Also, why don't they make Trump fatter, with cankles.
