MAGA, at its core, is a cult of abuse. The right to abuse, the justification for abuse, the dopamine rush they get from abusing others, is built into every policy, every program, every line of rhetoric. They identify with abusers because they want to abuse people.
So this is happening

Not to toot my own horn, but my 2 and 4 year-old’s new favorite songs are the entirety of my #NIN collection. Beat out the Barbie soundtrack and Shakira’s zootopia song.

Gonna keep this train rollin’

Remember when Republicans accused Joe Biden of forcing a Ukrainian prosecutor to drop charges against someone and it was the worst scandal, ever?

I’m honestly baffled this doesn’t happen more often. The current media environment is disgraceful.
the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics
WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.”

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

While the GOP whines about "unqualified DEI hires" how do they explain this guy?
Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN?

Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia

Duckworth: None of those countries are in ASEAN

Note to all the single people out there looking for love: she didn’t marry me just for my looks.

Though it’s been a shitshow of a year, it’s been quite good for music. Amazing new albums by Los Campesinos, Japandroids, Jack White, Dan Boeckner, and Kendrick Lamar.

Not the best year in music, but I’m more than happy with what’s come out.

The squirrels assassinated my fake owl I had on the deck for deterrence. Ripped its head off.

Should I be worried?

Really looking forward to the upcoming alien enslavement because I’m kinda sick of humanity running the show

Liberal outlets need to start doing “drumbeat” coverage of the real villains in America like the way right wing media pushes stories about immigrants and lgbtq. We need stories about evil insurance companies and church/cop pedos to highlight the rot of conservatism.

Two 26-Year-Olds: One Killed a Homeless Man, Another is Suspected of Killing a Healthcare CEO

Daniel Penny is free after killing a man victim to the system. What of Luigi Mangione, who is suspected of killing a man symbolic of it?

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Rereading Hedges’ “Death of the Liberal Class.”

I forgot how piercing and accurate a critique it was of the Democrats specifically. Scary to see where we go from here.

Is there a country song about it raining the day you needed to mow your lawn?

That’s some real sad country shit right there.

Wife and I save screen time for when we really need it. Today is that day.

Kids are happy and occupied after nap and that’s all that matters right now.

Just another GOP rapist. Add him to the very long list…
A Trump supporting, anti-trans, anti-gay Republican was elected commissioner of the county where I grew up. He won despite being in jail on election night for a sexual assault in Vegas.

It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter.
