I make art out of toys, books and records; how fun is that? I also write software because my brain needs exercise.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine has been advising President Trump and top officials that a military campaign against Iran could carry significant risks, in particular the possibility of becoming entangled in a prolonged conflict.

I know this is obvious but... Just because you dream it in your head that Congress would approve whatever it is you want, that does not make it true.

Trump's problem is a simple one: the Supreme Court won't confirm his fervent belief that he's god πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow:

Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too.

Signed,

No, the next question should be posed to the OTHER lawmakers in the room: β€œDo you support the president demeaning a female reporter for asking a legitimate question?”

Who is paying for all of this new construction throughout DC? Oh yeah... us. Un-budgeted. Us. (By the way, now of these construction projects will ever happen)

It's not that the truth doesn't matter to them. It's that the lies are essential to their survival.

More like 50% of "remaining" with no indication that what's missing will ever come out. Nor any believable real reason why those documents are not being released.

They should then ask whether or not Trump is being investigated (meaning, no documents with him would be released).

"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.

You see ICU Nurse Alex Pretti assisting veterans learning to walk again. Donald Trump sees a domestic terrorist and suckers and losers.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Minnesota CEOs Cry Crocodile Tears Over ICE - The American Prospect Executives who lobbied for Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which enabled the immigration terror in their state, now

CEOs of Minnesota companies, including Target and Hormel, say they're pushing against ICE's occupation.

But their industry trade groups actively lobbied for Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which boosted ICE's budget by $75B.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.

The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him β€” and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.

It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

The job of the president is, essentially, to have the critical thinking skills to know the difference between good advice and bad advice.

Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.
