This is what authoritarian regimes do to cover their tracks.

Fur babies are family I am so sorry for their loss. ❤️

Trump voters, you did this.

One of the less-discussed points Al Gore made in his crusade against fossil fuels was that there was a ton of money to be made in developing alternative sources of energy. But, of course, we were too dumb to listen.

Trump yesterday: They have this new word called
"affordability" and [Republicans] don't talk about it enough. Democrats did.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

It is absolutely INSANE that a Court needs to order federal law enforcement to wear badges

Talk about a metaphor...

We could do this in Texas. T. Boone Pickins was trying to make this happen when oil hit $100 a barrel a few years back, but prices backed off and interest decreased. But Texas is oil country - we'd rather cause earthquakes with fracking than go all in on renewables. Damn.

I am so sorry.

I remember when some asshole ran on promising people a "golden age" in the United States.

Amen.

The new Countdown Podcast drops at midnight: sure Trump got the spit kicked out of him and is now backed into a corner where he has to fold on the shutdown. But the real lesson of the landslide is: Dems! Wherever you are: Run on "Your Money Issues" AND "Trump is Death." It's simple!

A tweet from Michael Adams, KY Secretary of State (@KYSecState) says: “We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry.” Below it is a linked post from the Lexington Herald-Leader (@heraldleader) that reads: “It’s Election Day. So why doesn’t Kentucky have any this year?” with a link to their article.

Civics is important, my fellow Americans.

A tweet from DeathMetalViking (@DeathMetalV) says simply: “Ok” It includes a photo of Donald Trump and a woman posing together in front of a backdrop that says “TRUMP MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 2024.” Both are giving thumbs-up gestures. Below, a tweet from Nancy Mace (@NancyMace) says: “Protecting a pdophile is one step away from being a pdophile. Prove me wrong. 🤨”

This you?

Today's word of the day:

REBUKE: (verb) to criticize sharply; to reprimand; to turn back or keep down

(noun) an expression of strong disapproval; a reprimand

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
