I just can't help but reflect on Bobby Kennedy's 1968 campaign and how focused and deliberate he was on making vulnerable American lives better and using government as a means to do so. And how what's left of him must be a goddam turbine right now spinning furiously between the grass at Arlington.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

Pretty big news out of North Texas, an epicenter for far-right schoolboard takeovers: Yesterday, the GOP in Tarrant County - a bellwether for the state - went 0-11 in the three largest towns; and seven school board candidates backed by the Christian nationalist Patriot Mobile PAC also lost.

We love the vets! MURICA!!!
The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages.

The soundtrack for the first third of 2025 is just a mechanical voice intoning "TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP." over and over and over again.

NOT-NEW: US currently led by a Confederacy of Dunces.
NEW: China is switching from American to Canadian oil.
Chinese purchases of American oil are down **90%** year on year.
Purchases of oil from Canada are up +700%.
That equates to a $20 BILLION annual loss for the United States, at current oil prices.
Tired of winning yet? 🇨🇳🤝🇨🇦

Somebody’s playing 3D chess; the other is finger painting the walls with ketchup and boogers.
This is what happens when a low IQ ignoramus (“dumbest student” Trump’s college Prof ever had) goes against an Oxford Ph.D economist who was Pres of the Central Banks of Canada and UK in the past.
