I'm a 60+-er who likes to read books and watch (mostly old) movies. Am planning to stay enraged for the next 4 years, with an occasional bout of joy.

If you agree that #JakeTapper is a 🍆 please retweet.

Retweets are more effective thank "likes" because Boy Jake will actually see the big numbers.

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Hakeem Jeffries is acting like he *wants* to draw a strong primary challenger in 2026 and, honestly, I wish him all the luck in the world there.

The former responds to hostile questions (“Why did you hire ‘anti-Trump’ conspiracists as your attorneys?”) with thoughtfulness and a smile. The latter responds to every hostile question with defensiveness and a ratcheting up of the hostility.

Quite a contrast between the former director of the CDC’s testimony before the Senate today and the current FBI’s today.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Canada to drop many of its retaliatory tariffs on the US The move comes after the two countries blew past a self-imposed deadline to reach a trade agreement.

Key takeaways...

1) Canadians will save money by not paying the retaliatory tariffs on imported 🇺🇸 goods
2) Canadians pay NO extra tax on 🇨🇦 goods
3) #AnywhereButAmerica is still active
4) Carney just helped Canadians save money while letting #TACO tax Americans instead
