Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

Someone asked me, “If it’s 2025, why are y’all celebrating the year 5786?”
I looked around to make sure nobody else was listening, leaned in close, and whispered, “Because Jews are from the future!”

Like Scaramucci has become a unit of time (11 days), can Homan become an internet unit of money ($50,000)?
EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

Sounds about right.
I would have said "I guess people will not think it is really happening until there are troops in the streets" but we already blew past that one.
I guess its now a masked goon going up to them specifically and saying "I am breaking the law and taking you to be tortured in a concentration camp."

The defining feature of U.S. democracy has been the unwillingness to hold white conservatives to the rule of law. Time & again, when democratic systems seemed to threaten their power, white conservatives sabotaged existing systems. That dynamic makes democracy impossible.

I think that Gavin Newsom needs to start doing some YUGE rallies. At least 4 million tickets “sold” at each, even without BTS getting involved. the BIGGEST EVER with the most amazing merch. And hats. We need hats.

Can’t hurt to give it a try.
What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"

Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right.
This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

What I can’t get over with the systemwide cover up of Epstein and Maxwell’s abuse of children is how they’re just getting started on rounding up people and sending them to gulags.

Been offline more often because I’m still processing the despair of our elected representatives being impervious to pressure campaigns because they’ve turned themselves into minor aristocrats via incumbency and donor culture

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

Effective framing.
"They took hospitals and health care away from you so they could build concentration camps for immigrants."
I know that Medicare/ Medicaid is Democrats’ native language & what they’re happiest speaking but I’d love for SOME prominent person to try the line “they increased the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to triple size of ICE & make its detention center bigger than the whole federal prison system.”

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

According to Adler, rivalry between [over-televised Republican assholes] is grounded in each child's need to overcome potential feelings of inferiority.
I know you can’t stand either one of these clowns, but please sit back and enjoy Tucker Carlson steamroll Ted Cruz over his Iran ignorance. It’s like watching two snakes fight and still rooting for the venom.
Clearly, Tuckums planned this, and Cancun Cruz walked right into his trap.
