I mean… I think “Hegseth leaked top secret info about a military operation to a Signal group that included a reporter” defines his first six months, but that’s just me.

I watched as Republicans lied about Biden during North Carolina’s recovery efforts, and now, they have the audacity to be mad that we’re telling the TRUTH?!

They defunded the NOAA and the National Weather Service after everyone told them how bad of an idea that was

They MUST be called out!

Wait @themountaingoats.bsky.social were Elon & Donald the Alpha Couple this whole time???

What?

🚨We gotta call bullshit: the SAVE Act makes it harder for rural Americans to vote.

Some could face an 8-HOUR round trip just to register to vote. It's voter suppression, plain and simple.

Call your Senators – tell them to vote NO: (202) 224-3121

Donald Trump, alone & unchecked, wrecked the world’s economy. And the Congressional Republicans handed him the unique power to do it. They could take it back and fix this TODAY if they had a spine.

The same people who insist you can’t raise wages or it’ll wildly drive up prices are now trying to tell you that tariffs don’t raise prices.

“Bro, it’s a tax that other countries pay!”

Four frames from the movie Glass Onion. “It’s so dumb.”it’s so dumb it’s brilliant!” “No! It’s just dumb!”

Every day I wake up to the news

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

They don’t even know what is or isn’t the government. This is so stupid.

Perhaps Alina Habba is not fit to have this particular job at the moment.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

MUST-READ new report on Florida’s voucher scheme from @orlandosentinel

70% of voucher users were already in private school (as in other states)
70% of the state’s private students funded by taxpayers

The wealthiest bracket = most of the beneficiaries 👇

Meet the Educator Who Thinks Fewer Women Should Go to College Florida has become a petri dish for far-right attempts to remake higher education.

Gov. Ron DeSantis' appointee to the University of West Florida, Scott Yenor, wants to make the state a proving ground to reengineer higher ed to diminish female advancement, elevate White men and whitewash history. Senators should reject his confirmation. My column, via @opinion.bloomberg.com

There’s a banana car in Tallahassee. This is not a drill.

Ron DeSantis went from being a powerful GOP presidential frontrunner to feuding with *checks notes* nearly all elected Republicans in state government.

I really thought most people wouldn’t get it. Boy was I wrong. Haha

Small snowman on a plate.

As a native Floridian, I don’t have much experience at these things but I think this guy turned out pretty well.

Charcuta-Matata means no worries for the rest of your days…

Please understand how powerful this makes China. “Oh your US aid stopped and you still need that thing? We’ll finance it! Oh, about those mineral rights leases coming up…”

We’ve got snow in Tallahassee. (Palm tree for contrast… both photographical and climatalogical.)

Greenland & Canada probably feel a lot safer knowing that Trump can’t even take the DC winter.

Guys, don’t look now but the Legislature is legislaturing again!!!

Beltran was an interesting lawmaker. Super conservative, but he bucked leadership several times. His disdain for “how things are done” was obvious by the end.

Most succinct fact-check I've read of how LA Fire Dept's budget wasn't recently cut -- in fact, the opposite -- from @politico.com. But that misinformation spread anyway. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

For the second year, Florida turns down federal summer food benefits program for children The program known as Sun Bucks offers eligible parents in participating states a total of $120 per child to assist with the cost of groceries over the summer months.

Jan 6 was an insurrection and an embarrassing, dangerous, and stupid day our history. No bullshit exonerations/pardons/etc change that fact.

Fun Fact: most of the Irish road system was laid out before the invention of the straight line.

And this man was almost the Attorney General of the United States.
