How is this normal now? If anyone else did it, they’d be fired. Mike Johnson’s enabling it, and Trump is openly pushing violence toward people who disagree with him. Completely unethical. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Kroger is becoming a glorified 7-11. Spent 30 min grabbing ingredients to try a gluten free lasagna recipe, only to find the noodle aisle had 3 GF brands but zero GF lasagna noodles. Their app claimed #BarillaGFLasagnaNoodles were in stock. They weren't. I put everything back & left. Krogerisawful.

Trump being onboard with the release of the files signals to me the incriminating evidence against him has been removed. They can release the files but I doubt what they expect to find will be be there. www.npr.org/2025/11/18/n...
After months of infighting, House GOP could vote today to release the Epstein files
President Trump has pushed back against releasing the files, but shifted course over the weekend after it became clear the measure was likely to pass the House.

There’s plenty of excitement around Wilson at the moment. While she may echo some of Mamdani’s ideals, her practical experience is more in line with what Donald Trump brought to office in his first term. Next year’s budget pressures will show how that plays out.

I was on the bus when schools let out today. Almost every kid looked like it was laundry day wearing some form of sweatpants, hoodies, sweatshirts, and sweaters. When did rolled out of bed become an acceptable dress code?

The cracks are starting to show. Fetterman’s move wasn’t a surprise, but it shows how little effort there’s been to work with Democrats in other states. It’s not clear if anyone even tried. The lack of strategy is becoming obvious. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Looked into the Cracker Barrel logo drama, and I’m baffled. This is what people are losing their minds over? We’ve got a government bankrupting its citizens, locking up anyone who isn’t white, and there are whispers of martial law. We’re in crisis, and yet, this is where the outrage is aimed? Oy vey

Hopefully the UN can do what Congress refuses and act with urgency. Congress’s response to Trump’s authoritarianism is as weak as his pandemic response. This is the cost of power in the hands of the greedily geriatric and morally bankrupt.
