I wander Wonder Parkway with a tiny camera in hand.
And I reblog lot's of shit that I like.
Which seems to overwhelm when I share my pics.

Pose pretty and gaze upon the world.
And then, suddenly, it all happened....

Trump dusting off the old playbook
Throwing out rotting red meat in Pennsylvania

Speaking on his “affordability tour”, Trump is using the same racist language which worked in his first presidency. Only problem is his supporters are now facing higher prices for groceries, health care, and utilities.

Meanwhile they're going around Johnson with a bilateral subsidies extension.

citizen you have exceeded your pencil allotment this year. prepare to die
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

"bonkers" is too kind.
Says he works really hard, got perfect marks on his medical exam...
Then he engages Ludicrous Speed and vanishes in a burst of light.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Times New Roman is an imported font, developed for London newspaper The Times in 1931. You know what American-designed font cooked up in 1994 would be perfect for this regime? Comic Sans.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move
Rubio Stages Font Coup: Times New Roman Ousts Calibri
The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.

Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.

This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

RESULTS: Democrat Tim Keller has won reelection as mayor of Albuquerque.

He defeats a former Republican sheriff, who took issue with Keller's executive order that limited collaboration with ICE.

And that's not all: Liberal faction seizes majority a city council.

We have a broken healthcare system that must be fixed, but the solution in the short-term isn't to deny people the ACA tax credits that they rely on.

We must extend the subsidies so people aren't kicked off their healthcare next month, *and* we need Medicare for All.
