Whip that mofo

Written by : Jennifer Harper Bowen 3d • My husband and I were talking last night about how a 12 pack of drinks is $9 now and how in 2020 I used to buy them 4/$10. I decided to go back into my Walmart app and see what I was paying for a random grocery order. In January 2020 l paid $70.20 for 30 items, I added all of them to the cart again and repurchased them today. Today those 30 items were $165.42. That's a $95.22 price increase in four years time. That's a 135.6% inflation percentage. We can't go on living like this. I can't be the only one who feels this way. 8:28 PM • 8/5/25 From Earth - 5.7M Views

She summarized this succinctly and powerfully.

Law firms, universities, media companies, and now banks. If people don’t understand what’s happening to our country, it’s because they don’t want to.

Would this be fair to say?

Every day @stephenking.bsky.social proves he is a really good writer.

Gavin Newsom: "The Trump presidency ends next year if we take back Congress.
Trump knows that, so he wants to rig the game for
2026. We can criticize that from the sideline - or we can defend our democracy and fight fire with fire."
VOTE!

Drowned out: While Texans beg for help, the GOP redraws the map to cheat.

The purpose of the special session wasn’t about flood relief. It was about stealing elections.

Let me make it plain: Over 100 dead. Flood victims plead for help. Republicans were busy rigging maps for Trump.

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps.

Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

He has ALWAYS bribed, fired, or threatened to sue people to have them cover up his massive failures.

Off the rails.

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

“This is the worst economic jobs report since the end of the pandemic.” - CNN

Meiselas: You had Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender who r*ped a 16-year-old, featured by Trump at the WH as he announced his initiative for kids...He's not hiding that he's ok hanging w sexual predators that target underage girls. How is what I just said not leading every freaking newscast?

It just keeps coming…

CBS uncovered a mystery third person caught on jailhouse cameras the night Epstein died.

Not named. Not mentioned in the DOJ report. Spotted near his cell just after 4 a.m., two hours before he was found dead.

Why now? Somebody wants this out.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Desires of the rich are driving Tennesseans into fury.

The biggest new debate is a Tesla Only tunnel that no one voted for.

Thou shalt believe women.

Erasing history. Another characteristic of autocrats and dictators.

So true.

Thou shalt not starve children.

We are very far over the cliff here folks

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
