All good cons eventually crumble, and we’re starting to see the earliest signs that Trump's MAGA movement – one of the most destructive cons in American history – may be poised to fall.

It’s coming, I tell you. And it’s going to be spectacular.

I do encourage people to stray from the recipe and salt / season the turkey beforehand.

I have tried it both ways and it’s so much more flavorful if you season it first (even if you have some crispy herbs you’ve gotta wipe off when it comes out). I also slather it in butter before cooking.

I'm curious why the Trump administration let this guy in. They should stop arresting lawn mowing and car wash guys and stop these guys from getting in the country in the first place.
CNN on the D.C. shooter: He came here from Afghanistan in 2021. He applied for asylum in December 2024, went through another vetting process, and was approved for asylum in April of this year under the Trump administration.

Thanks to the Trump Administration, we now have to remind people that swastikas are hate symbols, vaccines are safe, and 15 year-olds are in fact, underage.

BTW, I would really like @consumerreports.org to watch this video and perhaps start breathing down the necks of those big companies for forcing everyone into using pre-dosed products.

That's the opposite of pro-consumer, imo.

If your favorite sports journalist wrote an article today that said "here's what the Yankees need to do to beat the Dodgers tonight" you'd ask them why they are writing about today as if it's still November 2024. Keep that in mind as you read most current political punditry.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
