Let's blame transgender athletes for the stock market. The reason Trump focused on them and spent $215 million on anti-transgender ads must mean they're to blame.
Damn you, 10 NCAA athletes out of 510,000 (less than .002 percent, according to the NCAA). How dare you mess with our 401(k)s?!?!

I find it ironic that the Republicans telling us to endure a little pain with Trump’s tariffs so that we can achieve long-term gains are the same people who scoff at throwing their Amazon box into a recycling bin.

It’s hilarious that Donald Trump acts like he excavated the word “groceries” from a quarry somewhere in Montana during an archeological dig. It’s just so stunningly out of touch.

If nothing else, the Signal disaster should convince the true believers that their messiah and his team spew lies so often they can't even keep track of their own false statements 24 hours later.
Then again, Fox News ... forget it.

It's almost like Trump is baiting Greenland officials by sending JD Vance there—both uninvited and clearly not welcome—to meet up with his wife so they can face protests and angry citizens and politicians, which Trump will consider an act of aggression and use it as justification to send troops.

If you buy a small Frosty at Wendy’s and freeze it for a day or two or until it’s super solid, it tastes almost exactly like the chocolate malt cup you can get at Wrigley Field. But if you want a wooden spoon, you’re on your own.

Big appreciation for Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney and a handful of Republicans who put country first after Trump prompted the Jan. 6 attack and continue to speak out against him today. History will remember them as people of integrity ... unless that history is taught in Florida, Oklahoma, or Texas.

So MAGA standard bearers who’ve spent years raging against anything that celebrates America’s diversity, what are they going to do on March 17? Are they going to scoff at the parades? Protest the green decorations in their favorite bars? Are they going to tell us it's all unnecessary and divisive?

Jimmy Carter was a decent, honorable and kind man. Amazing that Habitat for Humanity helped more than 46 million people build or improve their homes since 1976—crazy numbers.
It's reassuring and depressing to realize Americans once valued the decentness of the people they chose to represent them.

Trump nominated Gaetz for attorney general because he thinks very highly of all of you who elected him, which is to say—to paraphrase Don Draper—he doesn't think of you at all. But Trump supporters already knew that. And they didn't care.

Sammy Sosa was one of the best reasons to follow the Cubs during the 1990s. He deserves to have his jersey retired—and the statue outside Wrigley. As far as the Hall of Fame goes, that's up to the voters, especially those who put in guys who were admitted users of amphetamines in the 1970s and 80s.

For a group that was foaming at the mouth over Democrats elevating Harris to the top of the ticket—“It’s unconstitutional!” “She didn’t win the primary!”—Republicans sure have rolled out the red carpet for Musk, who’s never even pretended to run for office.

It's funny they plan on starting in Chicago. Why not start where people voted for Trump and his intentionally cruel immigration policies, the red states where the GOP spent $$ to convince voters their lives were ruined by illegal immigrants?
Maybe because those lives weren't being ruined after all.

Oh, the absolute irony of Donald Trump calling Matt Gaetz this morning to tell him he wouldn’t get confirmed because too many senators were bothered by Gaetz's sex scandals and investigations.
Sex scandals and investigations.
From Trump.

This is just great. I forget where my glasses are when they're perched on my head, lose my wallet three times a week and can never recall my kids' friends' names, but apparently, my fat cells are going to remember my late-night Superdawgs, onion chips and chocolate malts for the rest of my life.
Weight loss yo-yo effect linked to fat cell ‘memory,’ study finds
Fat cells were found to retain a long-lasting "memory" of obesity making it hard to maintain weight loss results.

Your male audience voted to ignore the safety of women in their lives partly due to the incomplete, biased or deliberately false Trump coverage you provided, but I guess you have to save face at some point and actually call a creep a creep.
Trump’s Matt Gaetz Pick Concerns Both Right- and Left-Leaning Media
President-elect Donald J. Trump selected Matt Gaetz, a former Florida congressman, as his attorney general, a pick that drew a rare bipartisan rebuke from both conservative and liberal media outlets.
