When you ask your professor for an extension on your term paper but have no intention of ever doing the work.
"Trump’s aides know if the changes they propose were actually turned into law, it'd be a political disaster. Which is how we get what we got: A plan that's not a plan, released so they can say they have a plan but not actually do anything. And that’s just fine with Trump." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke
He can barely bring himself to pretend he cares.

So apparently Dylan Mulvaney got cast in a Broadway musical... which resulted in transphobes losing their minds and threatening to "Bud Light" the show... and now the show's Twitter page is locked down. Cool cool.

The U.S. is pushing for its trade standards to be accepted by the U.K.
If Britain accepts America's demands, it would upset London's ability to trade more closely with the EU.

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.
They released him an hour later.

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

A Ten Commandments monument just went up outside the Tarrant County Courthouse in Texas.
Supporters say it's about honoring history. They're lying.

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)
