Not scared yet? Imagine one of the sea lions gets inside one of the Corollas. That's 5,500 pounds of angry sea mammal, capable of navigating any of this nation's beautiful highways and byways.

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.

But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

Fresh pineapple (over canned) with jalapenos (preferably fresh but the brine also works) and pepperoni or ham is the way to go

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early.

DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings.

Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.
November 21, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Mamdani clearly has superpowers. Only questions are how he got them and if he can pass them on to other Democrats.

One of the biggest flexes I ever had was asking some junior financial analysts watching their phones on a bus if they needed $20. They said for what and I said headphones. They got so mad.

I have to hand it to Democrats. I'm one of the feds working and not getting paid and they manage to make reopening the government feel worse than the alternative.

Like, why did I miss 2.5 paychecks to end up right back where we were before the shutdown started?
Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...
