BREAKING: In an epic trolling, California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posted a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A.

Let’s blast this to “space!”

Something worth noting is how the press is leaning into the framing that what’s happening in LA is a both sides issue or that they are riots. Even when the LAPD is saying it’s under control, suddenly for the first time in their lives the press is willing to ignore them

Trump has essentially gutted the CFPB.

But he named a new director to takeover what's left of the agency.

His nominee is an outspoken supporter of bank megamergers, which lead to fewer options for consumers and higher junk fees.

Wall Street must be thrilled.

If neuro spiciness was ranked on the Scoville scale, I’m usually a Serrano but watching Trump and Elon hit the fast forward button on our descent into fascism definitely has me at more of a scotch bonnet.

Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel just disclosed holding $800,000 worth of stock in Trump Media & Technology Group.

Reminder that Patel also has compiled an "enemies" list that is identical to Trump's.

Does anyone actually believe he won't be a loyal cog in Trump's vengeance machine?

It really helps my sanity right now having creatures who have no idea what’s happening outside of our house. Luci is still here and completely unconcerned by politics or her heart condition, but she is displeased by the cold weather getting in the way of her yard time.

The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.

Because Trump has shut down USAID, the person in charge of overseeing the ceasefire in Palestine can’t access his computer or email.
