Twitter refugee. Here to make sarcastic comments to entertain myself and myself only. If you still support the GOP, it's not because you like their tax policy.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

Scathing dissent from Justice Kagan:
"[T]his Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."

Here’s the thing about people my age: I thought I was going to finally start to be able to save up for retirement. Almost all my kids are grown. But that’s not how it’s working out. We still have to support our kids who did everything right (college, apprenticeships) because nothing is affordable.

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

“This guy is the hardest worker in the world when he’s playing golf” is exactly the level of patronizing lie that we all deserve for being at this point in history
Sen. Roger Marshall on Trump's health: "I'll work 110 hours a week. He outworks me. He's the first person I've ever known that works harder than I do. He runs around that golf course. He's in incredible shape right now. And you talk about sharp! He's playing 4 dimensional chess"

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

Women once stayed in violent marriages. Families stuck together no matter what.
We learned to set boundaries.
MAGA uncles excluded. Trump sycophants unfriended.
We cut ties with hate.
Yet when the boundary is parent–child estrangement society still asks why.
Let me explain.

Look, not to begrudge this effort too much... but a lot of the tariff costs were just passed on to customers. Will customers be getting a refund, too?

Admiral Bradley can take the hit for an administration that doesn't give two shits about him or the military in general, or he can drop his retirement papers and out every single political appointee involved. We'll soon see what kind of officer and leader he is.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.
