If we burn, they burn with us. Middle-aged mom, recovering political junkie. Once kept up with the chaos, now I just keep up with carpool. Skeptical of elected felons, even more skeptical of the electorate.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

A promised vote on the ACA? See, they can’t include the ACA without having to bring the House back into session - and they’d have to swear in Grijalva. That’s what this is all about. Protecting the Epstein files.
Paywalled...here's the full text such as it is for now.
We'll see if Axios is full of shit again or not.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Did no one catch the Newsom troll? Closing his Prop 50 victory speech by quoting his MAGA ex-wife was hilarious!

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.
The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.
He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.
He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.
He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.
How is any of this ok?

Super late post but we had the good fortune of seeing Oasis at the Rose Bowl last month and it was amazing. Our daughter is a HUGE fan and cried when they came on stage in disbelief they’d ever set their differences aside and perform together again. #Oasis #RoseBowl #FamilyTime

Thanks to Donald Trump's tariffs, Americans are currently experiencing one of the largest tax increases in American history.
This is a code red for our economy.
