Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.
Let that sink in.
Let that sink in.

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become.
I was wrong.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.
“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.
“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

MAGA voters are discovering that much of what Musk is cutting as “waste, fraud, and corruption” is programs that benefit them, often more than they benefit Democratic-dominated states. Farmers, who backed Trump three to one, are hit by the freeze on funding for conservation of land, soil, and water.

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

I will laugh in the face of Republicans who bitch about the price of …anything….a month or two after he’s in office.
Trump in August: "From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down, and make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down and they’ll come down fast."
Trump now: “It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

Science Question: When they say "8 MEGA ROLLS EQUALS 32 REGULAR ROLLS" do the regular rolls exist...anywhere? Are they just in the imaginations of toilet paper marketers???
