The writers have done a spectacular job this season revamping their fascinating "Marjorie Taylor Greene" character. The suspense over what she will do next is compelling. A lot of things are going on with MTG, maybe some good, others bad, and we won't know exactly what for two or more seasons.

Just made a new penholder!

They had a bag of pinecones to give away at the food bank this morning. Aren't they lovely? They smell vaguely of cinnamon.

Great video, using very specific examples from reported knowledge, about how wealth disparity works at its most extreme levels.

Didn't expect to wake up to this today. Very unlikely her district will go to a Democrat but it's hard to imagine getting anyone dumber or crazier than MTG. That doesn't mean it isn't absolutely possible, even likely, I just can't imagine it. In the end I do see this as more evidence of MAGA decline

It was ridiculously difficult to find this story. Maybe because it scares the corporate media so much. It should be shared far and wide.
We should also share the message, that we so rarely give to young people, that we are immensely proud of you. Your courage inspires us all and gives us hope.

Be kinda neat if everything Trump did from now on involved a female reporter asking him a question that was designed to get him riled. Male reporters can do it too of course, but it probably won't get him to act inappropriately in the same way.
These questions REALLY bother him.
Good.

There really is a psychological point at which cumulative effects become too much.
Just watched Ken Burn's American Revolution, and the taxes that "started it at all" weren't that onerous on their own, but it had been building for a long time. A thousand small cuts, subliminal slights...
And POW!

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Not that long ago many people greeted any talk of fighting or resisting with cowardly fatalism.
Lately, far from anything seeming inevitable, Trump is losing left and right. If only more people had fought and resisted in the beginning we could have been in an even better place by now.
It's a shame

A federal appeals court panel has affirmed the dismissal of President Trump’s $475M defamation lawsuit against CNN for using the term “the Big Lie,” calling his claims “unpersuasive” and “meritless.”
