I started hand embroidery as a hobby the week of the inauguration, and now my mental health depends on it. Thousands of tiny little angry canvas stabs and counting...
I don't want the water bill for this house. I think I will stick with architects for all my drafting needs (of which there are very few, but maybe not zero over the course of my life).

Kelly: “I was notified of a potential court-martial through a tweet by the Secretary of Defense…I think that says a lot about who Pete Hegseth is and what he cares about. He doesn't care about the law…He doesn't care about accountability. He cares about views on his Twitter account.”

Effectively there is no *one* person performing the duties of President of the United States right now. We are in an interregnum with an occupied throne.
The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Trump isn't just any asshole. He's a clearly cognitively declining, sundowning, misogynist, angry, bitter asshole. This unhinged woman hater has no business living in our White House. Also, what a repugnant lack of group solidarity by these reporters; particularly the men.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

"Dems seem more comfortable hitting marginalized groups with collateral damage if doing so makes it possible for them to land more effective blows against their Republican opponents." It may not in fact be politically expedient.

Why Are Democrats Teasing Homophobia in New Attacks on MAGA?
The strategy demeans an important constituency of the party without providing an obvious political gain.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
