11 stars hovering over President Lincoln’s head.
Not 13 for the original colonies. Eleven. As in the 11 states of the Confederacy.
A coincidence, right?
The Germanic/Nazi-style font?
I’m sure it’s just another totally accidental overlap with the aesthetic of the Third Reich.

Troy, it’s cute that you’re wrapping this up like some noble farewell, but let’s be real: this ain’t about “family time.”
This is about clocking out the second your congressional pension fully vests and your lifetime taxpayer-funded healthcare kicks in.

“As we remain in the Thanksgiving spirit, I’m thankful the mayor is showing support by sharing my upcoming fundraiser invite to his personal page. Although maybe an accident, and now deleted, it was nice to see for a moment lol.” — Houston City Councilmember Edward Pollard

“Remigration” isn’t policy — it’s a white supremacist talking point in a federal letterhead.
This is the same word Nazis in Europe used when they spoke about kicking Black and brown people out of their countries.
DHS using it is the government saying the quiet part out loud.

Donald Trump’s Thanksgiving message is less a holiday greeting and more an unspooled, fact free fever dream. Nearly (if not) every line is a lie, a racist trope, or a threat… sometimes all three at once.

We can’t continue to normalize this shit.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Democrats have zero connection to it.
Literally every Democrat condemns it immediately.
And somehow the headline becomes: “This is the Democrats’ fault.”

I’m willing to bet that Mango Mussolini wanted to be the first to announce the news about the passing of the two West Virginia National Guard members, and forced Governor Morrisey to walk back his statement.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
The Governor of West Virginia now has two conflicting back-to-back posts about the health status of the two National Guard members who were shot in Washington, DC.
I have deleted my previous post sharing the news that they had died.

The Harris County Democratic Party’s Steering Committee just sent a very loud message: they voted 17–7 to deny John Whitmire the party endorsement.
This isn’t symbolic—this is the first big test, and now the resolution heads to the full Precinct Chair meeting in December.

Where are the prosecutions for all this “fraud” Elon Musk and DOGE swore they’d uncover?
Elon dropped $27 million on Trump’s campaign, promised to expose $2 trillion in waste, and told people to expect a $5,000 rebate check.

Meanwhile, Zohran controlled his WH appearance, while Whitmer and Bowser got walked all over.
Hell, Whitmer herself even said that she was caught off guard by the presser in the Oval. That covering of her face by the fireplace moment is vastly different than Mamdani stoic and holding fast.

I’m realizing why Marjorie Taylor Greene has chosen January 5th as her resignation date: that’s the cutoff for her to qualify for a congressional pension.
Members of the House have to win three consecutive terms and serve at least five years.

Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning from Congress is one of the few bipartisan wins.
After stoking chaos, spreading conspiracy theories, and turning Congress into a circus, she’s now leaving because Washington wouldn’t bow to her extremism or her victim narrative.

For a whole year, Republican consultants built their entire 2026 midterm strategy around turning Mamdani into the socialist boogeyman of the Democratic Party…

Every time Greg Abbott is on the ballot, he remixes the same tired script: “Texas is a disaster, and only I can save it.”
Um… who exactly has been governor this entire time?

A federal court just slapped down Texas’s racist, gerrymandered maps… and the judges weren’t subtle about it.
A bipartisan panel, including conservatives, agreed the Trump-backed redraw was engineered to silence Black and Brown voters and solely help the GOP in 2026.

Mayor Congressman Sylvester Turner passed away on March 5, 2025.
Gov. Greg Abbott has magically picked January 31, 2026 as the date for the special election runoff to replace him.
That just so happens to be the exact day the current CR expires. Total coincidence, right?
