Funny. His sycophants pretend he's so manly, but he's not even strong enough to withstand a few boos.

I'm trying to figure out how to cope with this. I spend way too much time sitting at my desk not working. Even though I need to work.

Each time this happens, how many others are intimidated into *not* taking action? That's what I find scariest of all -- that Trump and ICE are not just murdering people in the streets; they're trying to shut us all up. Unacceptable.

He's angry that every legitimate scheduled artist has canceled and none others can be booked. That was bound to happen the moment he put his ugly, criminal name on it.

Well, you don't have to worry about shit in your Pringles when you can have caviar, steak, and lobster at Mar-A-Lago.

At some point, he and Gunther Eagleman are going to have to fight it out.

Exactly! It's kinda funny, though. Usually when Republicans talk about "Americans," they're only talking about men. White men. Rich white men.

Where is that $1B contribution from the US coming from? And wouldn’t it have to be approved by Congress?

Counterpoint: No, you fucking don't.

Oh, we knew it could get this bad (and will probably get worse). We didn't necessarily know that both Congress and SCOTUS would rubber-stamp his abhorrent behavior, and that tech and media billionaires would stand in line to support and fund it.

He's saying the same thing that Kelly et al said: Don't follow illegal orders.

He’s a classroom bully, using tariffs as if they were wedgies.

Well, women and children are simply not equal to white men. Despite what Constitutional amendments say...or don't say.

Looks like MAGA believes women and children and people of color simply exist to serve white men.

And this is someone followed and befriended by Barron Trump. Who cleared out his Trump Tower floor for a date. Terrifying.

The plan is to get rid of as many Black and brown people as possible. As well as the white people who seek to defend them.

The plan is to claim that anyone who opposes Trump/MAGA/the PayPal mafia is "Antifa." And to therefore claim they're lawbreaking terrorists.

My theory is that he's planning to take it to SCOTUS. Or the dementia has reached new heights. Or both.

I believe it was @repstansbury.bsky.social who described the information contained in the Epstein files about Trump. Some of it was about Trump raping a 13-year-old girl.

Impressive to learn how many NYT journalists consider themselves historians. Maybe their time would be better spent focusing on the current administration and its many egregious failings.

The cereal lobby spends a lot of money in DC

One of my favorite dinners is steak and eggs. Ideally from Steak n Egg Kitchen in metro DC...though that was years ago.

Totally. And, some of us cannot eat anything in the morning.

She's clearly trying to clean up her image to attract new voters without alienating the old ones.

Which one did you read? She has gone through a few different eras, from Dublin Murder Squad series to stand-alone mysteries to the Cal Hooper series. Personally, I love them all but would recommend The Witch Elm if you're up for something long and deep and complex and ultimately rewarding.

Have you read any Tana French? Wonderful writer in a similar vein.

I agree. What I’m not getting is @blzbob’s saying “this is not what’s been reported” when the article says precisely that.

The article you linked says she entered the US at age 6 and had been covered by DACA. What am I missing?

How to Opt-Out of Airlines Selling Your Travel Data to the Government The Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), owned by major U.S. airlines, collects billions of ticketing records and sells them to the government to be searched without a warrant. I managed to opt-out…

My first crush.
