It feels like the whole MAGA house of cards might completely collapse any moment now.

However, if the last ten years have taught me anything it's to wait until things actually happen.

But it really feels different this time.

"In a year marked by cultural upheaval, legislative assaults on LGBTQ+ rights, and endless doomscrolling, Rachael Sage’s ‘Canopy’ is a rare gift"

LP and CD versions are available in stores as of today!
Rachael Sage’s ‘Canopy’: A Sonic Sanctuary for Queer Joy, Radical Empathy, and Marginalised Voices | EDGE United States
Singer-songwriter Rachael Sage’s new album ‘Canopy’ is more than a musical release—it’s a heartfelt invitation to stand under a shelter of radical inclusivity, hope, and collective healing.

I love this comment so much that I'm going to repost it.

It's absolutely true. You're either voting for Democrats or Nazis now.

The choice should be obvious.
It's either Democrats or Nazis.
That's it. Those are your choices

Decide what team you're on & if it's Democrats, start fucking act like it for a change.

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

In my 44 years as a journalist, I'm pretty sure I never advised a "source" on how to blackmail the president of the United States

Perpetrators of child sexual abuse and trafficking are monsters and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

That applies to everyone, regardless of their political party or ideology.

Anyone who excuses or covers up these crimes to protect their political party is evil.

If Trump is doing everything he can to cover up the stuff we HAVEN'T seen, after the release of these horrific emails, imagine how much worse they could be.

#EpsteinFiles
In other emails, Epstein described his relationships with foreign leaders, advised Steve Bannon on how to increase his influence in Europe and offered his (mostly, but not entirely, dim) assesment of Trump to those who asked. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

He's showing even more signs of dementia, but the media is mum

If any #UglyDogs want a crocheted phone sock, just buy the yarn and pay for shipping to/from me. I’ll make it during chemo. I’m almost done with my current project, so I need stuff to do!

I mean, you *can* pay me $230 if you want, but it’s definitely not necessary.

Just a reminder that Putin accumulated his wealth through kleptocracy and using Mafia tactics on Russian oligarchs who gave him money and equity in exchange for state protection of their business interests.

Draw your own parallels...
So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Can someone explain to me how the House can vote on anything if it's not in session?

And if the House goes back into session for a vote, shouldn't Johnson swear in the elected Rep before anything else?

7. *The Democrats sabotaged public trust*. They had earned enormous good will among Democratic voters as well as Americans generally. Poll after poll suggested that most of the blame for the shutdown was on Donald Trump and the Republicans in the Congress.
