from today's post, about Signalgate Mike, Liddel Marco and Pee Wee German all getting new gigs in Donny's Confederacy of Sewer Clowns.
thanks for reading!

(and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

who thought this was a good idea? for some reason, they’re now letting Nosferatu McGoebbels out of his coffin and setting him free to do his vampiric thing in the White House Press Room.

why? Stephen Miller is the most unpleasant, terrifying and unhinged member of the Sewer Clowns. imagine being a reporter and having to endure Undead Stephen fixing those soul-less eyes on you as he non-answers your question.

“children will be taught to love America. children will be taught to be patriots. children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding. so as we close the Dept of Education and provide funding to states, we’re going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology.”

I’m loving this idea! let’s indoctrinate all of America’s children. let’s teach them to blindly love their leader, and to never question any of his infallible words.

hey, you know who else indoctrinated their children to blindly love their leader? of course you totally fucking do.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook.

And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits.

A "new Golden Age" for whom?
