I would like to propose June 14 as a new national holiday, before some crazy person in the GOP does it. We could call it Trump's Birthday or Trumpday or something. (Knowing the GOP, it might be Freedom Day, but Trump's name is not in that, so it's problematic.) It would be different from other

THE DAILY GROUSE --
Little Feat once again not even nominated for Rock Hall of Fame. Complete travesty. It tells you more about the Hall of Fame than it does the band.

The horrifying British grooming gang scandal is real. It was downplayed. And it was also widely reported and addressed long before Elon Musk was tweeting about it.

Musk’s Phony War on Grooming Gangs
The scandal is real. But Elon Musk’s incendiary rhetoric about British politics are doing more harm than good.

I've been a fan of the USA women's soccer national team for quite a while. I was starting to enjoy watching the men's national team again after not watching them for a number of years. The Christian Pulisic does the Trump Dance after scoring a goal.

So fuck them. #USMNT
