It's all about tending to our gardens and our politics.
The @nytimes.com put up a woefully sparse map of "confirmed protests" that minimize the scale of what it happening today.
There were five #NoKings protests in Somerset County NJ today alone, yet the only dot for NJ is Newark. This pic is Franklin, NJ. @jamellebouie.net

So Trump says that because WalMart did so well in the Joe Biden economy in 2024 they should take a hit in the Donald Trump tariff economy of 2025.
This encapsulates Trump perfectly: Use Biden's excellent economy to destroy America's democracy. Any way he can.

I am glad Shoeless Joe will be eligible for the Hall of Fame, but folks need to stop minimizing what he did. He may have played well, but he knew his teammates were cheating and gave them cover. He was a part of the conspiracy, even if he hit.
Still, he belongs in the Hall.

Trump is an arsonist dressed as a fireman so he can be a hero at the blazes he sets. We may be better off with the "China deal" than yesterday, but if Trump never lit the fire we'd be even better off.
China still doesn't want our stuff because they can't trust us thanks to the Arsonist in Chief.

Sith use red light sabers, so this means Donald Trump is a Sith. I'm guessing Putin is his Sith Master.

Saw this today in a men's room in a major chain restaurant. Are we supposed to bring a woman to the men's room to change the baby?

Roosevelt took office after the greatest economic downturn in history. Obama after the second worst economic downturn. Biden during a pandemic.

Harper, the Branch Manager, in the morning fog. She is a purebred Golden Retriever, but had a heart murmur so was dumped. We adopted her six years ago, and now we have sticks and branches all over our living room!
