My cat likes to jump up and plop down right on my day planner. That's my sign to take a break.

I’m glad someone thought to do this. I’ll keep my eyes out for this cocksucker.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

This deserves to go viral. Trump went out of his way to appeal to Latino voters, who assumed the only immigrants he planned to deport were the criminals. Turns out his racist mind sees all Latino immigrants as "criminals" just for being here.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, β€˜what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Bishop Mariann Budde tells NPR 'I won't apologize' for sermon addressing Trump The Episcopal bishop of Washington spoke with NPR to discuss her sermon addressing President Trump and why she asked him to have mercy.

To paraphrase CΓ©sar Cruz, β€œcomfort the disturbed; disturb the comfortable.” Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde’s sermon during the inaugural prayer service accomplished both, especially the latter.

Do not apologize for disturbing the comfortable. www.npr.org/2025/01/22/n...

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday.

Look what happens when you hit the β€œgo home” button!

Um. What the fuck?

β€œElon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.”

Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?

Listen, it's up to you how much you want to stress this week, but I do want to remind you that half of Trump's cabinet will be replaced within 6 months.

He's insecure & fickle. He gets fed up with people VERY quickly, & the cabinet is most definitely an at-will position of governmental power.
