Ladies, please report out: Has anyone tried that viral mushroom coffee? Because if it will really zap belly fat, correct my moods, improve my energy and focus, and also make Donald Trump and Elon Musk turn to ash and disappear from the face of the earth, I'm willing to give them my $40.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I personally pledge to donate to the Democratic primary opponent of EVERY Democratic Senator that votes "YES" on cloture. This is our moment. This is our power. Shut it down until Elon is out.

Canadians aren’t smothering us in fentanyl.
Schools aren’t doing sex change operations on students.
Immigrants aren’t eating cats.
You can’t fix COVID by injecting yourself with bleach.
Windmills don’t cause cancer.
Don’t be shocked if we think you’re stupid when you buy this bunk.

5 things Elon Musk did last week:
1. Wore sunglasses indoors.
2. Brandished a chainsaw.
3. Ketamine.
4. Neglected his parental responsibilities.
5. Video games? Nah, probably more ketamine.
ANY federal employee can one up that.

I cannot express how little I care about trans women in women's sports. What are they going to do? Win a college scholarship and THEN secure a pro-sports contract with a salary of *checks notes* $64,000 a year?! The posturing about EQUITY (a concept they LOATHE) in this one arena is truly wild.

What is the point of an EXECUTIVE ORDER that blames not one but TWO past presidents for an airplane crash that happened 2 days ago? Also, what are we saying when we articulate that diversity, equity, and inclusion tactics resulted in the hiring of people with "severe intellectual disabilities?"

So yesterday was chaos for anyone who works in health care; nonprofits; colleges and universities; state, local, and tribal governments, etc, because of the federal funding freeze. No one knew what was happening. Portals for Medicaid and Head Start were both down.

Hi WebMD, I keep trying to write a headline about Pete Hegseth becoming Secretary of Defense but every time I try typing something my eyes start bleeding like I'm starring in a low budget exorcism movie, is this normal

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde literally just asked that man to be merciful to the EXACT people he has in his crosshairs. Now she is another "NASTY woman" who lives in his head rent-free. Never be afraid to speak truth to power, even if you do it gently.
