The number of children who are dead because of POTUS, Rubio, and Musk is estimated to be approximately 400,000.

It didn’t have to be this way and the people who voted for Canks tell me they didn’t think this would happen.

I don‘t have a response to that nonsense that doesn't include expletive.
The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

“Side effects include, headache, runny nose, mild to moderate death, and upset stomach.”

Incidentally, my husband and I often joke about doing a set with nothing but covers of drug commercial songs 😂
ALWAYS SO FUCKKNG HAPPY!

And let's talk about how the side effect readoff is longer than the whole spiel itself!
Commercials for prescription drugs is the silliest shit ever to me.

Jesus: take care of the poor.
SV: Jesus wants a hackathon!

I honestly struggle to understand why weirdos like Pat and Pete want to hasten the end times, as if they’d actually fare well (something about a camel and the eye of a needle).

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

2025 continues to be absolute trash. This man was an incredible musician and an inspiration for multiple generations of drummers, myself included. 🙏🏽

I’ve finally purchased a frame for an art print.

It’s been 6 years.

THEN, I placed said framed art on a shelf.

Please clap.

I wish to state for the record that while I am among "We, the people of the United States of America," my federal government's decision to terrorize #KilmarAbregoGarcia is not one concerning which I was consulted. I stand with him and his family. That's me in the corner.

I’m firmly convinced that one worships the god they think others deserve. Some folks want the best for others, some folks want the worst.

This also a fine time to remind everyone that Christian ≠ good.
We have over 16 centuries worth of historical data on Christians building/aligning with empires and doing awful things to each other and others.

Stop insisting that bad actors are not “real” Christians.

Humbly sit with the fact that many real Christians do not follow Jesus. 1/6

What will it take for people to stand up for women and families the way folks stood up for Kimmel?

This is an example of our tax dollars at work: kidnapping people and assaulting women.

This isn’t your lil Disney subscription cost: this is 6-figures a year of consequence-free criminal behavior.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
