Just a deep, dark cesspool of corruption like we’ve never seen before in US history at every single agency and level of government. Republicans in Congress continue to ignore all of it and if people still care about having a Republic they will vote them out as soon as they can.

Male Friend, watching me sew: That seems inefficient.

Me: Oh, what would you change?

Friend: I dunno but there's gotta be a better way.

Me: ...Okay, well since this is thousands of years of innovations manifest, I want you to ponder what that way is and also unpack why you think you know better.

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

It looks like some other country at war.

I bought some Pillsbury Cinnasticks and they come in the normal tube that the cinnamon rolls come in, and you open it up and they’re cut like the cinnamon rolls are cut, and I guess Pillsbury is just like “you can make these into sticks, we can’t stop you”

🚨NEW🚨 A couple made millions from an anti-choking device that sucked objects out of throats, claiming it was FDA-approved.

Turns out the FDA had told them to stop selling it.

While a bunch of similar devices were on Amazon up until this week when I flagged them.

Amazon has now removed the Dechoker and rival unapproved suction devices marketed at parents to save children from choking.

Debt collection companies are more Biblical than the Republican Party.

The 7 years that it takes for things to fall off your credit report is based on the Biblical concept of jubilee.

But MAGATs proudly persecute and prosecute the poor and have the nerve to say empathy is a sin.

It all starts with the press. If they bend, we're all fucked.

Good on everyone who wouldn't bend. That's a step in the direction to save this country.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans
