Things that were not on my 2025 bingo card:
Agreeing with something these people said:
Mitch McConnell
Rand Paul
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Tucker Carlson
We are definitely living in the upside down.

If constant notifications are pushing you to the brink, may I suggest a twice daily scheduled summary? This has literally been one of the best things I’ve ever set up on my phone.

Seems like this tariff thing might be a FAFO moment for Trump.

No one can quash the legacy of the Tuskegee Airman.
Same for the Buffalo Soldiers.
That unit was sent to West Point from 1907-1947 to replace an undisciplined white unit. During segregation, they trained all the white officers who fought in WWI & II & they built a legacy.
We know their story.

I’m sure a lot of people already know about this, but I’m often late to the party.
I just learned of an app - Goods Unite Us - which scores US corporations by their political donations. It’s a great way to weigh where you spend your dollars. I’ve been trying to shop “bluer” so this helps me!

From monumental legislative successes to steady leadership amid our nation’s greatest challenges, Joe Biden gave us 4 years of reunification, recovery, and revitalization. Trump will try to steal the credit, but it was Biden who delivered it for us. Thank you, President Biden.

Don’t get caught clutching your pearls over Elon’s salute. We are going to be inundated w/disturbing actions over the next 4 years, esp the next 100 days.
Take care of your mental health & don’t react to the theater. Protect your peace so you can fight when it is time, bc the time is coming.

I heard the term “political agnostic” yesterday & I think that’s me!
I lean left but I’m disillusioned w/Dems for sticking with aging leadership & not allowing the younger generation to step up. It’s time for a new strategy. We can’t continue doing the same things & expecting different results.

When Bill Clinton had his scandal with Monica Lewinsky, Republicans acted like it was the end of civilization. Now, they’re putting a rapist and convicted felon into the Oval Office. The hypocrisy is insane.

The media knew that Project 2025 was the Trump agenda long before the election but many news outlets failed to call out Trump’s lies and disavowal. It’s unforgivable.
