Taxpayers don’t owe Donald Trump a dime for his legal battles. While he’s trying to get $230 million from the federal government to pay his own lawyers, families across this country are struggling to keep up with grocery bills and rent.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

Note: Now that the Pride flag is an official city government flag, many schools and cities across the US with Pride flag bans can now fly it.

Many Pride flag bans have an exception for “city” or “government” flags.

And those exceptions do not specify that they are your local government flag.

1. Missoula, Montana has cleverly voted to defy the Pride flag ban by making the it "an official city flag."

This comes after a law banned the flying of the flag but made an exception for "official flags."

Now, the Pride flag will fly defiantly in the state.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

I know we all hate DT’s guts and want to call him the worst things possible, but PLEASE do not be ableist when you do. Any thing with the ending “t@rd” is a version of the r word, a harmful slur that’s been used to shame and other disabled people for decades. There’s a huge reason this is important.

There’s some truth here.
Tweet with black-and-white photos of angry white protestors and young Ruby Bridges being escorted by U.S. Marshals in 1960. The overlaid text reads: “The people who threw rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school in 1960 now are upset their grandchildren might learn about them throwing rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school.”

1. Trump has officially defunded school lunches in Maine for kids and disabled adults because of transgender people.

Trump is holding the funds hostage and will allow kids to go hungry unless Maine discriminates.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

America, you f**ked up!

She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.

Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

Sex = what a doctor could tell you about a person
Gender = what only the person could tell you about themselves

Neither follow a strict binary.

1. The 1Q 2025 Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map is complete, and there are big changes.

I have issued a "Do Not Travel" for transgender foreign citizens.

Risk has deteriorated broadly across the US.

Transgender youth see changes in previously safe states.

1. Huge! Texas A&M's drag ban is blocked. A&M argued that Trump's recent EO on trans people mandated a drag ban, and also argued that drag is obscene.

A Bush-appointed judge replied that Trump's EOs "cannot override the first amendment," and that drag is art.

This is how we know we are in the Upside Down.
X post by Andy Kim (@AndyKimNJ ), featuring a verification badge. The text reads, "More people need to see this. It cannot be understated. Trump is trying to criminalize the service of Habitat for Humanity and go after nonprofits who help people when they need it most. It is political retribution. It is unjust and it is a direct threat to our democracy." Below this, there is a quoted post from The New Republic (@newrepublic ), also with a verification badge, posted 1 day ago. The quoted text states, "The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for 'conspiracy to defraud the United States.' This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices...." The posts express concern about political actions targeting nonprofits and government agencies, framing it as a threat to democracy.
