The president continues to preach austerity and hate to people struggling to make ends meet. No wonder voters are turning on him.

There's a lot of things to be angry about regarding this stupid-evil administration. The one that bothers me most is turning our backs on vaccines. A medical miracle, and we are a bunch spoiled brats who take them for granted because *they work*. The suffering will be massive.

People who love to say “the planet will be fine” should watch this. “We're killing the planet” is figurative. We really mean our actions are wiping out the species and ecosystems we rely on.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

I had the Infinity Gauntlet, I'd snap my fingers and all the MBAs would be teleported to Planet MBA where they can play golf and attend KPI seminars for eternity. Finally leaving the rest of us in productive peace.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Random idea I can’t shake: What if The Silmarillion were adapted as a Ken Burns–style documentary? Slow pans over Alan Lee art, shifting maps of Beleriand, narration drawn from Tolkien’s prose, elegiac music. Curious what the Tolkien crowd thinks. cc: @teawithtolkien.com

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

I looooooove how 86 Democrats joined Republicans in publicly condemning socialism in preparation for Mamdani's meeting w/ Trump. Mamdani had this jackalope cheesing and gushing. It's so amazing how that works.
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.
