Don't worry. I'm a good witch.
Merry xmas from the Trump admin, friends. Deliveries might be a little dodgy, but we're keeping you safe!

“We’ve now knocked 9,500 truck drivers out of service for failing to speak our national language — ENGLISH!” said Duffy. “This administration will always put you & your family’s safety first.”

Donald Trump has never EVER had to deal with even the most routine medical care. He's never been told his insurance isn't accepted or that there are no appts for six months. And that, friends, is why he says things like this:

“I want to give the money to the people, not to the insurance companies.”

Some tourists will be mandated to provide five years of their social media history as part of their applications to visit the U.S.

Foreign visitors will also be expected to upload “selfies” as part of their screening process to come into the country.

#Ohio aims to re-criminalize adult #cannabis use even though voters approved recreational usage by FIFTY-SEVEN PERCENT in 2023.
Did Ohio's THC reform just create a bunch of new crimes?
Ohio lawmakers have sent a bill changing marijuana policy to Gov. Mike DeWine's desk, creating a slew of new criminal offenses, such as buying weed in Michigan to smoking in a public area.

On the bright side: The human race includes just a scant handful of Musk/Putin/Thiel/Zuck/Trump/etc. supervillains, while the rest of us number about 8.2 BILLION, so we've totally got them outnumbered, right?

Right?

Donald Trump never considered Ol' Marge to be anything other than a dancing bear.

Now that the bear is talking about atrocious conditions behind the scenes at the circus, I wonder if she'll get Epsteined.

YO DON! Your friends are here.

They want the 2nd boat vid. They want the Epstein files.

I guess it was kind of funny when Trump got the deepest red "conservatives" to gleefully dance to a gay anthem (YMCA) and tape panty liners on their ears, but I'm not laughing anymore.
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

It's been over two weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid—

It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

This is exactly right.
I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

He's right. I did not hear one word about this.
The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

I think the thing that made the GOP go completely off the rails more than anything else was the adoption of instrumental lying as a matter of course. This happened as evangelical leadership took over GOP party machinery and brought with them their "lying for the Lord" apologetic culture.

CODE ORANGE NEWS ALERT: People will continue to smear themselves with Trump's feces until we tell them how much it stinks. Hence it's nice of @helenkennedy.bsky.social to have compiled this list of the people surrounding him when he called Somalians "garbage."
OK I’ve put together the list. Shame on all of them:

Ford CEO Jim Farley
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa
General Motors plant manager John Urbanic
National Auto Dealers Association Chairman Tom Castriota
Transportation Sec Sean Duffy
Deputy transportation Sec Steven Bradbury
