What did Madeleine Albright say about women like Bondi?
November 18, 2025 at 7:14 PM
Yes, this is the right response.

But I also think we need a new name for those pieces of shit like Mike Johnson. Fuckhead, asshole, asshat, pieces of shit, and the like no longer fit the bill.

Anyone?
Lmaooo

Come on, Larry Summers: Resign from @harvard.edu immediately. NO student deserves you as a teacher. You have no moral authority. Your judgement is, at best, highly questionable. You have NO business being around young people.

Oh, hells no.

Conservatives want to allow pregnant women to park in disabled spaces www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

First, pregnancy is NOT a disability.

Second, there aren't enuf spaces for those who are disabled and need such spaces.

Let me repeat: Oh, hells no.
Conservatives want to allow pregnant women to park in disabled spaces
Republican lawmakers are supporting measures that would allow pregnant women to use accessible parking spaces, drawing opposition from disability rights advocates.

Any news on what Virginia is going to do with their SNAP replacement VENA now that partial benefits will be paid by the feds?

Not surprisingly, Gov. sweatervest's comms people do not respond to my (blogger) emails.

If you live on the NNK of Virginia or know someone who does, OR want to help people who will not have SNAP benefits tomorrow, check out Free food on the NNK maphub.net/susiecambria...

!!

And more than that, this is not exactly how the process works.
So they have hundreds of millions just lying around that they’ll never miss to give to the government programs immediately, is what they’re announcing
"Donor Who Gave $130 Million to Pay Troops Is Reclusive Heir to Mellon Fortune

Timothy Mellon is a billionaire and a major financial backer of Trump." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...
