The GOP’s β€œofficial talking point” about the government shutdown is that it’s all the Democrats’ fault for insisting on giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants, which has never been a thing.

Anyone besides me find it baffling that colleges are no longer allowed to consider race for admissions, but SCOTUS just ruled that cops and ICE are allowed to consider race as a viable means to detain people without any other probable cause?

For the record, the U.S. has so far taken in about $136 BILLION from tariffs, which I supposed is better than nothing.

Who remembers back to 2024 when our Country was completely destroyed and our military power was obliterated thanks to no awesome tariffs?

Don't all raise your hands at once.

Here's what Trump was doing with his Saturday: posting AI pictures of himself on social media.

Really, these are precious. You could steal an old lady's purse directly in front of this lard ass and escape his meaty justice by slowly jogging up a small flight of stairs.

Judge Dread he is not.

According to the Trump Administration, DC’s homeless population is largely responsible for the β€œcrisis” the National Guard is allegedly there to address.

It costs $169,000 a day to operate DC’s entire homeless operation.

It costs $424,000 a day to have the National guard there.

Folks, we are witnessing political satire for the ages!

Since MAGA loves to hijack our terms and repurpose them for their own bad-faith arguments, I say we start returning the favor.

I hereby declare that MAGA now stands for Make America Gavin Already.

MAGA!!!!!!

Florida, which already leads the country in censorship book-banning has just banned The Diary of Anne Frank.

And nobody on the Right sees the irony in that.

Signing bonuses, loan forgiveness and more: Americans flock to join ICE The Trump administration is looking to hire 10,000 new ICE agents as part of its immigration crackdown. Ten times that number have already applied.

Wow. In an effort to drastically ramp up ICE recruiting goals, would-be masked Gestapo agents are being offered starting salaries of $90k, sign-on bonuses of $50k, and…freaking STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS!

Where is f’ing DOGE when you need them?
