10:30am: "Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead." 10:49am: law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Jesus.

The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Measles and tariffs, what century is this?

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.

Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world.

FACT: USAID funded projects in 120 countries - fighting epidemics, educating children, providing clean water, supporting life saving work.

Now nurses laid off, clinics closed in 25 countries where 2/3 of all child deaths occur.

All because of Trump’s inflated ego.

The international community is booing the US national anthem, the vast majority of fentanyl comes in via US citizens, and the Biden administration secured the same deal of 10,000 border troops in 2021 without plunging the country (and markets) into chaos. But sure, great work 👍

Eggs UP
Taxes UP
Gas UP
RX drugs UP
Dow Jones DOWN
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block.

Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

We live in a post-shame world.

Never forget what got us here

Reuters headline from 2020 when TikTok challenged Trump’s original attempt to ban the app

Screenshot from 2025 of TikTok praising Trump in hopes he will save the app

How it started / how it’s going

This TikTok scam by Trump is really something. In a few days, we will be hearing from Trump about how he “saved Tik Tok” & “brought it back.” He literally created the problem by calling for a ban. Rs pass a law. It gets banned. It goes dark for a day or 2, then Trump “saves” it.

An empathetic lifelong public servant is giving his Farewell Address. An un-principled opportunistic autocrat convicted felon with zero capacity for empathy will take his place. With nothing but boot-lickers and billionaires behind him. God help us.

this was an amazing moment. "We got all kinds of drunks and adulterers here! what's one more?"

Dammit

In Defense of Giving a Damn Let’s be honest here: at a time like this, feeling is hazardous to one's health.

Explaining No Contact With MAGA

Excerpt from Wikipedia: “President-elect Donald Trump tweeted: "My thoughts and prayers are with the great people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. Stay safe!"[24][25]”

🧵 How do we know Trump is full of sh** when he shrieks about “hydrants running dry”?

Because in 2016, a horrendous wildfire hit Gatlinburg Tennessee.

Hydrants ran dry and 14 people died. A higher death toll than the LA Fires.

But Tennessee had a GOP governor, so newly-elected Trump posted:

Sundays are for playing on your phone and unquenchable existential dread

“They don’t love our country, they only think about themselves” is not only a weird way to describe the standard rituals for a dead president but also a hell of a projection

Love seeing all of the bad blood between the Cowboys and Eagles.

Drag everyone. Take no prisoners. It should mean everything.

He just finished what Jerry started in the off season.

The most that can be said about the present moment is that there is disagreement within the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party about which faces to eat in what order.

I keep thinking about those paycheck to paycheck “price of eggs” Trump voters who picked a billionaire to appoint other billionaires who are going to make their food less safe & more costly, their medication harder to get, their overtime nonexistent and their healthcare coverage a thing of the past.
