The Trump admin just changed which days Americans can visit national parks for free next year — removing Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth and adding Trump's birthday.

In a country where black is white and white is black, calling to defend the constitution is seditious behaviour.

What started as a wink-wink tradition among dedicated stoners to make Thanksgiving dinner more bearable has mushroomed into a full-blown holiday. Behold the “Cousin Walk.”

Yeah. He HATES embarrassing guests.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Surroundings?
Trump shamelessly lies: "Go to Walmart and other companies, and in every case it's about 25% that a Thanksgiving meal and surroundings are 25% lower. That's big fact."

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s being inundated with threats because of Trump’s rhetoric. Violent threats are wrong no matter what.
This is an opportunity for MTG and others on the right to reflect on all the violent threats Trump has incited through the years - including on Jan. 6.

The World Series was played outside the U.S. for the first time in 32 years this October, when the Toronto Blue Jays united fans across Canada as the country’s only MLB team. The team even became known as the “Glue Jays” before the Los Angeles Dodgers ended their thrilling postseason run.
Canadians Mourn a Loss by Underdogs Who Brought a Nation Together
The Blue Jays, Canada’s only M.L.B. team, were a salve for a country hit by President Trump’s threats and tariffs. Then the Dodgers ended their thrilling postseason run.
