That’s cool. It’s going to be 50-60 mph winds and states have already declared an emergency. Please do not undersell weather events. This is how people get hurt.

George W. Bush spoke fluent Spanish and gave weekly radio addresses in the language. He understood words don’t define being American. Two decades later, MAGA calls Bad Bunny “anti-American” for singing in Spanish and wonders why everyone thinks they’re bigots.

One of JD Vance’s admitted gurus, Curtis Yarvin, says he’s thinking about fleeing the country because Trump hasn’t dismantled enough of America’s democratic institutions and he fears “vengeance.” Let that sink in when you think about who’s running the country.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

The East Coast’s about to get slammed today by the first real nor’easter since ‘23 (60 mph winds and coastal flooding). With FEMA in disarray, the gov shut down, and half the states in its path blue, this is going to be a wild litmus test of where we’re at.

Good morning and happy Sunday. Hug your loved ones and do one thing today that’s just for you…not for work, not for someone else, and not because you “should.” Stay positive and say no to authoritarians.

The Trump admin. rescinded layoffs of hundreds of scientists that were told they no longer have jobs on Friday, another indication that the Trump admin has zero clue about who does what. Hundreds of others remained fired and the dismantling of public health continues.

Also, in direct contradiction to Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins’ claim that mass deportations will make the farm workforce “100% American,” the labor dept admitted Americans won’t take those jobs and don’t have the skills to replace the undocumented workers leaving them. DUH X2.

The Trump admin just admitted — in a buried Labor Dept. filing — that its own immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and driving up food prices. The report warns the “near total cessation” of migrant labor is threatening “the stability of domestic food production.” F***ing DUH.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."
