Gum up all the works. Make them read every bill they introduce in entirety. Aren’t some of the items put forth for funding thousands of pages? Make them read it. Out loud. Call out points on every little thing. Sue them for everything. Tie up everything. Stop their funding.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Since we’re allowed to rewrite history now, can we rename the ‘Santa Maria’ to ‘The World’s Stupidest Participation Trophy’?

Just shut them out and isolate the greedy, the fanatics, and the power hungry until they and their descendants are no longer here. The thing they prolly fear most is irrelevance.

We should just start permanently embracing and reviving all cultures that heal each other and our planet and start patently rejecting all those that don’t.

The Biden FBI? Trump was President on January 6th, not Biden.

The most insane part of the MAGA cult is that even when Trump says something totally ridiculous and, easily provably false, his followers still share his statements as if they’re something amazing, instead of being embarrassed.

Every once in a while I have to shake things up and reinvent myself. It’s taking a lot longer to shake things up than it used to. No longer a young whippersnapper. Might be time to start planning another road trip and meeting more inhabitants of this here planet of ours ‘n’ seeing some new stuff.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

My guess is they could be the Fuentes-bros. But being put on gun registries and Trump protecting Epstein have a bunch of ‘em mad and pretty vocal.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto wallet was created Friday.

It literally started shorting the market, with Bitcoin & Etherum shorts, JUST BEFORE Trump posted about tariffs.

It last short was placed at 4:49 PM EST.

Trump posted at 4:50PM EST.

It made nearly $200 million in profits.

Unusual.

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short
4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China
5:20 PM: $19.3 B in liquidations hit the market
The whale’s profit: $192 million

MH hospitals do it too. On the flip-side, when you’re stable, some will try to keep you in until you run out of coverage. Then if you’re in need again you may not be approved. I had to report a facility for this as an intern.
