As time passes, the cringey nature of the Tesla Cybertruck fades, and it just becomes another vehicle.

LOL. I'm kidding. That thing screams "DORK" just as much today as it did the day it was first produced.

SCOTUS: "I'm sorry, the Court can't help you. It's these darned rules."

Us: "Don't you make the rules?"

SCOTUS: "..."

Opinion | G.O.P. to Gen Z: Pay Double for Health Insurance or Go Without If Democrats don’t win the shutdown fight, millions of young Americans may lose coverage because of higher prices.

β€œThe decision to lock an entire generation out of affordable coverage will have health and economic implications for decades to come,” Natalie Foster writes.

If you allow a government to break the law because of an β€œemergency”, it will create an emergency to break the law.

The idea is accurate. The phrasing and headline are abominations. At the very most, call it the right’s β€œGeorge Floyd Moment.” On second thought, don’t and find a different analogy.

The word that keeps running through my head about this administration (among others) is "adolescent." These are people with a little boy's idea of what sounds manly.

Trump administration uses taxpayer dollars to blame Democrats for government shutdown Federal employees across the government reported seeing similar messages. Experts say the messages may violate ethics laws meant to keep partisan politics out of day-to-day governing.

Poll: Agreement that political violence may be necessary to right the country grows On hot button issues, a majority say children should be vaccinated; controlling gun violence is more important than gun rights; and Epstein files should be released, in a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

Get ready for the next big bailout Trump's tariffs are wrecking the agribusiness economy β€” again.

"If your CEO is smart enough to suck up to Trump by giving him a 24-carat plaque, you can get an exemption from the tariffs. If you’re a farmer β€” that is, part of a group Trump sees as loyal supporters β€” you might be lucky enough to get a taxpayer-funded bailout. Everyone else? You’ll be paying."
