Interesting that even Trump's bought-and-paid Supreme Court wants nothing to do with Madam Maxwell's appeal.

Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

Important to keep telling people when different parts of the big bad budget bill take effect. If it doesn't happen instantly, some will cry foul, saying it's a lie or just scare tactics. Need to make folks aware that some changes don't happen until late 2026.

They're arresting judges. Threatening journalists. If you have an attic, you might want to get it ready to hide a latter-day Anne Frank's family.

So the farmers are beginning to wail that they can't survive the tariffs and the cutbacks. Imagine that. Well, guys, you're welcome to join us at the protest rallies. Until then - gee, maybe you should have voted differently.

For those who may have missed it in the deluge of other bad news, Hungary has passed an anti-LGBTQ constitutional amendment. By an overwhelming majority.

I thought it would need an invasion of hostile aliens to unite the whole modern world against a common enemy. But all it took was one hostile man with a big mouth and a Sharpie pen.

They want us to feel exhausted, demoralized, hopeless. Don't give them what they want.

So Muskrat sold the former Twitter to his AI company - in other words, to himself. Shell game, anyone?

Congresspeople, we're not asking you to do anything as difficult as fighting a war with bone spurs. We just want you to stand up for the Constitution, show us that your oath of office meant something.

Just an observation, but...y'know, there are still a lot of vets with PTSD in this country. Most of them depend on VA services. Many draw Social Security. All things considered, cutting those benefits might not be the smartest idea Muskrat & Toesucker ever had.

I'm seeing a lot of "Feb 28 won't do any good" - look, it's a test run. Find out how much unity we have, if we'll sacrifice even one day for the cause. Think they're not watching? US corporations are cowards, going whichever way the wind blows. Threat to their bottom line? They're watching.

Could someone please explain how throwing tens of thousands of people out of work is good for the economy?

A thought: Since the orange cretin has such fits about pronouns, why don't we start only referring to him as they/them? Just to throw a little sand in the cogs of the machine.

The avalanche has started even sooner than we anticipated.
We thought it was the dictator-elect we needed to fear, that his acolyte-in-waiting was the looming danger. We didn't realize the true threat was Emperor Muskrat the First.

I am not celebrating a certain recent event but I can totally understand why the alleged perpetrator may have been smiling. The American healthcare system specializes in creating victims. Sometimes the victims die; sometimes the victims strike back.

It looks like a lot of people still fail to grasp the idea that, in times like these, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. There is little to gain by rejecting allies because they fail some political litmus test by one point.
