Sounds like Paris in the 1780s. Wonder how that turned out?
Why are we allowing Mike Johnson and friends to receive benefits when are too lazy to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and work. Sounds to me like the welfare state they hate so much
Mike Johnson has dissolved Congress. Why?
So… is he admitting that consumers eat the cost of tariffs? Also, my degree is in singing and dancing but this doesn’t sound like how the economics are actually working.
Kevin Hassett's theory of tariffs: "China has got to sell a lot of stuff to us to maintain political stability. And so if we put a tariff on their stuff, then they cut the price so that our consumer is basically still able to demand as much stuff as they need to sell to be politically stable."
I enjoyed her forays into contemporary roles with Broadcast News (the shadow puppet scene remains burned in my brain) and Moonraker. Not enough “what a name!” credit goes to astrophysicist Dr. Holly Goodhead.
A reminder on Miss Gish’s birthday that she defended Griffith and his “contributions” to cinema to the bitter end.
DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened.

So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon.

But his DMs.
Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Let's get something clear: when it comes to racist, fascist, homophobic entities, what we are NOT going to do is use weight/fatness as a lazy insult when there is plenty of other material to work with. Being fat is not a moral failing. Being unscrupulous piece of shit is.

Another confirmation of the "everyone is twelve now" theory.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.
Well that’s fucking dangerous.
Dr Oz touts AI doctors and "our effort to try to do in healthcare what we already have in banking and Uber Eats and digital streaming."
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go clean my bathroom and do laundry before work while the nation collapses.
Mike Johnson blamed Democrats for the shut down and then took the incredible misstep of recessing the House. Their job is to stay there and work to reopen the government. He fully holds the blame not as a party leader but personally. And why? To protect Trump from Epstein. God this is pathetic.
Texas is invading Illinois on the President’s order with the Governor of Texas’s full support. This is an act of civil war. That’s not hyperbole. That’s categorically what this is.
If Zohran wins (🤞🏻🤞🏻) and his platform succeeds, it upends all the lies the right has told its base about socialism. They don’t fear his policies because they believe they’re bad. They fear him succeeding because it means they are wrong. Also racism and Islamophobia.
They said the same of the Perons. (Non-complimentary)

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.
Stephen Goebbels, er, Miller is such a vile ghoul but I continue to laugh at how absurd his lies are.
Stephen Miller: "What James Comey did is truly one of the most severe assaults on our freedoms and liberties that has occurred in the whole history of this nation."
There’s a lot of nothing to unpack here but my question is why did he put quotations around his fully capitalized name?
This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing.

Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.
Look, I know my degree is in Musical Theater and I dress people up to play make believe for a living but I know enough to know this isn’t how math works. What a fucking moron. An evil moron yes, but nonetheless a fucking moron.
Trump: "We're gonna reducing drug costs over the next year and a half by 1,000 percent."

PSA: A "Major Terrorist Organization" (MTO) is not a thing. The Immigration and Nationality Act *delegates* power to the State Department to designate *FOREIGN* terrorist organizations (FTOs) based on certain criteria. It doesn't apply to domestic orgs.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Leave it to Nancy to call for thoughts and prayers *for the shooter*

So… the FBI’s immediate response was evacuating the university rather than locking down, not securing the crime scene, and not closing an airport. Hmm. Solid police work there, Kash! If I didn’t know better I’d say it’s less of a bug and more of a feature 👀
Weird how they all want more than thoughts and prayers.
