I would sue the taxidermist at this point.
So yes, this pic (and the enlargement) was taken today.

Yikes!

Wasted food – a symptom of larger problems.

"Policies such as immigration raids, tariff changes and temporary and permanent cuts to food assistance programs have left farmers short of workers and money, food rotting in fields and warehouses, and millions of Americans hungry." is.gd/PeoEI9

Despite the administration’s claim of streamlining the government to make its operations more efficient, a range of recent federal policies have, in fact, exacerbated food wastage.

I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

Murder:
Hegseth ordered Navy SEALS to kill 2 men clinging to boat after first missile.

“Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”

Oops. Shooter granted asylum by Trump administration. Not Biden. Trump is blaming Biden and using this incident to impose authoritarian edicts.

"Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office" – NYT
Trump has always used braggadocio to describe his imagined stamina and energy as a political strength. MAGA responds with memes of Superman and bulging muscles. But that image is getting harder for him to sustain.
November 26, 2025 at 1:47 PM
Great. So let's elect this asshat to an illegal third term. MAGA!

"Bullshit artist" "Con-man" "Snake oil purveyor"
The answer to how Trump has succeeded is really simple: He lies nonstop, and lying works. Yeah, he's a real piece of work.

America Is Finally Starting to See Trump for the Bullsh*t Artist He Is
He came to power through a relentless assault of lies. But the debt owed to the truth is coming due.

Another quack in the Trump's admin of kooks, lunatics, and unqualified weirdos.

OMG this is so delusional and insane. So exhausting. Time for rational, ethical justice in government. Traitors and lunatics begone.
After the Comey indictment was dismissed, Michael Flynn says the best way for Trump to fix a dysfunctional DOJ is to fire Pam Bondi and appoint Sidney Powell as AG.

Another Trump scheme with taxpayer money likely to fail.

"The Trump administration is trading billions of dollars of taxpayer money for ownership stakes in companies. The unusual practice shows no sign of slowing." Paywall.

Medicare Advantage Plans are – just maybe they are – a scam lobbied for by the for profit insurance industry. If you are costing them $$ then you are toast.

"One million older Americans are losing their plans entirely because they cost too much to remain in the insurance pool."
