Chicago is on to something.

The thing is, "the kids" *do* use this term for this purpose (particularly in reference to going without tech on flights)…

…and that bizarre fact is also, without question, *absolutely not* something I would mention during a conclave segment.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists.

1362 Days to go...

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.

Macron shook one hand.

Once you disregard the legal rights of immigrants, everything is on the table

Today, they are arresting judges

Tomorrow it could be Democratic members of Congress

They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.

Samuel Alito does not deserved to be called a “justice.” Nothing he does has any relation to fair and equitable treatment of people, regardless of their class or standing.

Call him what he is - a religious zealot intent on imposing theocratic rule.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. 

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. 

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Rinse and repeat for the foreseeable future.

A screenshot of a Reuters article stating that the US FDA suspended milk quality test workforce cuts.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

E.P.A. Set to Cancel Grants Aimed at Protecting Children From Toxic Chemicals The cancellations, set to apply to pending and active grants, also affect research into “forever chemicals” contaminating the food supply.

Look what Felon Trump is doing in honor of #EarthDay.

This man truly cares about our kids, our environment and our future.

Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard (Gift Article) An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

What a joke: Trump officials claimed the letter sent to Harvard with a list of demands was a "mistake" sent w/o authorization.

Because Harvard defended themselves, the White House announced they were freezing funding and Trump threatened to remove their tax-exempt status anyway.

What a shit show.

Seattle crosswalks have been hacked with a message by AI Jeff Bezos saying he hopes rich people don't get Luigi'd. 👀

When reached for comment, a spokesperson from Amazon said, “We do not endorse or sponsor these crosswalks.” 🤪

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Wishing all who observe, a Happy Passover and every blessing

It’s telling that it’s *always* about making someone else do the hard labor, and never volunteering for it yourself.

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

This part

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.

This isn't due to luck or skill.

Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

I’m loving Chinese manufacturers airing luxury brand’s dirty laundry on TikTok.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

😍😍😍
