Remember how many of you voted for no more wars and lower gas prices?
Don’t worry, we won’t let you forget.

Ironic, how quickly Trump moved to seize the California National Guard and threaten to send in the Marines to quell a handful of protesters in LA...
Yet he never bothered to call anyone to quell the violent Jan 6 rioters...who have received pardons & cash awards from Trump's corrupt government.

Penny, oh, Penny, who shimmers like gold,
A poet’s mirage, in sunlight’s bold hold,
Your verses curious, magic art,
Weaved enchantments on my heart.
A golden penny, in shadows you gleam,
“I am nobody”—yet you’re my dream,
Take my ode, sweet Penny, or let it fall,
For like my blooms, I give my all!

NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.

The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy
Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story ...

Pretty damn good framing for Dems
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

A single page of a novel or script comes to about 300 words or ~1650 characters. So if you can write 6 skeets in a day, you can put 1 page into your dream project. After about 100 days, you’ll have a script; after ~166 days, you’ll have crossed the threshold of being a novel. Just 1 page at a time.
