Elon fires hundreds of Twitter employees and Twitter goes down.

Elon fires air traffic controllers and planes go down.

Elon goes on a DOGE rampage and the stock market goes down.

Elon regulates his own SpaceX and its starships go down.

I'm sensing a pattern.

People are showing up to town halls and protests to demand reps in Congress do something to stop the co-presidents. The same excitement at the polls in the upcoming special elections could flip the House and give power to politicians willing to stand up to Trump, the Democrats. Vote people!

I’m surprised #trump hasn’t signed an executive order banning messages of diversity and equality and love from the NFL stadiums and player uniforms. There’s still time to issue one before the Super Bowl. (That was sarcasm folks.)

Even after being threatened by Trump and racially harassed by the MAGA movement, Mexico has sent humanitarian aid and firefighters who are risking their lives to save U.S. civilians and homes during the LA fires.

"We are a country of generosity and solidarity," Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Good morning ☀️

As 2024 ends, thoughtfully reflect, then shift into goddess mode.
Project 2025 won’t be our final chapter.
Women will shred the plan with the same true grit demonstrated by our legacy Sisterhood.
2025 is our time.
I’m here for it.
Are you?

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.

Ronald Reagan had them removed.

We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.

After the kindness and caring of the Carter presidency, the door was opened for greed, excess and the president that will be sworn in 1/20. My apologies to the presidencies of Clinton, Obama and Biden.

Lots of folks saying that a government shutdown would mean no Social Security checks. To the best of my knowledge that’s never happened no matter how stupidly Congress might act. As Rep. Hakeem Jeffries has said very eloquently, this is on the GOP.
