How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Disgusting. His birthday!
Trump is just the worst! The National Park Service is reshuffling its free-admission schedule so that visitors get in free on Donald Trump’s birthday next year, while Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth (previously free days) will now require regular entrance fees.
National Parks are now free on Trump's birthday, but not on MLK Jr. Day or Juneteenth
The Trump administration overhauled the list of free National Park days for 2026.

Proposal to give 24 ac. of USFS land to a private ski resort sees movement thanks to Utah Senator Mike “Land Grab” Lee.

A new bill by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) would give land in the Dixie National Forest away to a ski resort town without oversight or public input. If passed, this bill would set a dangerous precedent of rushing back-door public land transfers without evaluating impacts—incl wildlife habitat & wildfire

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

As the largest companies on earth (looking at you, Bezos) kiss Trump’s ass with the hope of placating him, smaller businesses inspire sentient Americans by acting responsibly and by refusing to surrender to blatant fascism and unbridled stupidity.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.

New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.
