Goodnight Laura

We’re in a hell of a lot of trouble.

Women take care of their constituents better because they aren't part of the bro-society that keeps men in check.

All I want for Christmas.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

I heard a Republican say when Biden was running for president, it was "elder abuse". Not a peep about Trump... I guess you can't abuse the abuser.

The "fog of war"? Is that a hangover?

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

The Trump T1 phone, supposed to ship by September, hasn’t shipped any unit yet, and the official website no longer lists a release date.

Earlier, the original “Made in USA” label was replaced with more vague wording like “American‑proud design … brought to life right here in the USA.”

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Yet, she looks so normal.

An individual negotiating their own insurance is like a lamb asking the wolf to be nice.

There are fines for not taking out a permit. Go after the contractor. Fine him. Trump won't care.

Someone who is smart enough to pass the bar would not be seeking predictions from a physic.

This is exactly what sociopaths do. That man on the floor is no longer "useful" - so nothing else is required - except that he leave immediately.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

Gov. Andy Beshear

This is how a real President is supposed to act

Trump really does think he's king and that our money is HIS.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Kudos. That was brave. Courage.

You know what evil looks like? The orange felon hosting a Great Gatsby themed gala at his trashy private club yesterday whilst trying to end SNAP benefits and healthcare subsidies from tens of millions of Americans. Giving a convicted criminal full power was a horrible idea.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Demand for Trump's Social Security Chief Bisignano to Resign After $30 Billion Implosion of Former Company | Common Dreams The former CEO of Fiserv has been accused of causing chaos, with the company's stock plummeting by 40% and $30 billion i

As Fiserv CEO, Frank Bisignano overinflated sales projections before quickly cashing out with a $500M stock sale.

Now, Fiserv's market value has collapsed — and Trump has put Bisignano in charge of Social Security.

Be warned. https://www.commondreams.org/news/fiserv-ceo-frank-bisignano

Let's vote on ALL the tariffs now!

Our only solace here is that the president IS recommending vaccinations, however loony the scheduling is...

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

1) The radio address was posted on YouTube 8 years ago, before AI was feasible.
2) Reagan: "Over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer...millions of people lose their jobs."
3) BTW, George W. Bush called protectionism "evil."
4) Donald's brain is tapioca.
