This is Caligula shit, but Caligula had it more together than Trump. What a house of cards. No bottom.
Trump has added new plaques under his ‘presidential walk of fame’ in the White House.
On Obama: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President…One of the most divisive political figures in American history.”
On Biden: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History...”

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

Reminder:
They hear the same words Handel used,
It makes them all a bit confused,
And carols have it in them, too, yeah?
And so like this, the meaning shifts, until they think of trees and gifts,
And never hear the truer 'Hallelujah."

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.
🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Trying antidepressants was so unpleasant I went more than a decade between some and miserable on the last. Mood stabilizers worked, but an ADHD diagnosis has also meant a way of not fighting myself, though a change in PCPs denied stimulant meds that *kind* of helped more.
Exactly my experience. "I do that but I'm not ADHD" over & over. Then I saw a 12-panel cartoon of typical traits & I had 11 of them so decided to pursue a diagnosis. After decades of SSRIs not really working the consultant said "You're depressed because your life's out of control because of ADHD."

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

Snow day. Hoping the Souper Cube stuff we ordered on Black Friday arrives because Past Me bought too much ground beef and I am making a triple batch of meat sauce with it, with pancetta and red wine. That will become frozen lasagna.
