On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

Mike Johnson agrees that Trump is “unhinged” and “unwell”
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

Broadview, IL -

In a very “I’m in Chicago” moment, Broadview police ask the protesters to let a vehicle pass. A guy yelled “Car!” Then went it passed “Game on!”

Wayne’s World references persist, even through federal dispersal orders.

Donald Trump is carrying out Genocide in Gaza so he can build a Trump Hotel.
