In a courageous act of civil disobedience this morning, in full view of my MAGA neighbors, I swallowed two Tylenol lol. To the ramparts, right after brunch.

U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread

The wages of idiocy

Oh for the vagaries of American politics: Mamdani wins 43 percent in the New York mayoral primary and is hailed as the way forward for the Democratic Party. Harris receives 48.3% of the presidential vote in 2024 and her methods are disparaged as the party’s downfall.

Zelensky was in sore need of an interpreter to capture subtleties of a brief that his rudimentary English failed to convey. And to slow down the rapid-fire attacks from Trump and Vance.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

A decade ago, a legal accommodation for Dreamers seemed inevitable. Now, these innocents have been vanquished to the shadows, fugitives from Trumpian justice. MAGA has exterminated American empathy.
