Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill.

In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.

"If we win this seat in Iowa, Democrats are going to take back the Senate, and if we have full control of Congress, that stops the bleeding...

Zach Wahls, in my humble opinion, is one of the most important candidates in the country right now.

This is the key. You can win some elections, but you can't force people to like or respect you; ironically, Trump's people want that respect from people they claim to care nothing about. They don't hate the "elites" - they envy that club, and they're mad because money and power can't buy them in.
Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

I am writing about how useless Big Law has become in the fight for democracy and I came across this from 2021. It was bullshit then -- the SWAT teams never existed. But it's notable that firms like Paul Weiss felt the need to act like they cared. Now, they don't even need to pretend.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

I think we all have our 2025 stories. I was threatened with two lawsuits — one by Donald J. Trump himself, the other by [REDACTED].
I was not however, indicted, renditioned, deported, or actually sued. So, there was that.

I will have more to say about our strike on Venezuela as soon as I can figure out *if it really happened or if Trump is conflating it with something*, which is a hell of thing to say about a statement from the president about military action.
Well, rumor has it Trump seemed to have just bombed a port in Venezuela. This can give you some military stuff to think about to take your mind off this conversation.
