PSAs, Cont. I don’t think Hair Füror would mind if Vankie did this (the cheap screw would probably have 100 $1 bills to put in her G-String).

News That Will Drive You To Drink Happy Hour News “It’s time for us Billionaires to take the country back from the lowly Millionaires who ruined it,” the Billionaires didn’t say. I do not know if this is real, but news organizations certainly think so: The San Francisco Bay Area will fill up this weekend with football fans celebrating the final clash of the season's two best billionaire-owned teams in Super Bowl LX.

I wondered that too. But I did see it mentioned in one of the big political email thingies (Politico? Axios? NOTUS?) earlier.

CNN: “Trump’s name is mentioned over 1000 times, why not make him testify?”

@RepJamesComer: “He gets asked about it in press gaggles… Bill Clinton…”

Deeply pathetic stuff. The pedophile protection ring continues.

The Shape of the 4th Reich’s Plan It’s not about cancelling elections, Hair Füror’s strategy is about making everyone distrust the results. From the Pod Save Whatevs Boys email thingie: Trump appears to have a two-part strategy to mess with the elections, Marc Elias, a prominent lawyer and voting rights expert, told the What A Day podcast. The first is before the elections: “Get access to the nationwide voter file,” Elias said.

Washington Post Begins Laying Off More Than 300 Journalists

"The Post’s metro section will shrink, and the books section will close..." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

The Washington Post is shrinking the part that's about the DC area where people, you know... live. Makes sense, right?

Republican Strategery! Tiger Beat on the Potomac (Thanks Charlie!) morning email thingie seems confused about why Democrats are not rallying around former President Bill Clinton: PARTY LIKE IT’S 1999: With Kid Rock doing the alternative Super Bowl halftime show and a baby elephant born at The Smithsonian for the first time since 2001, there was already a turn-of-the-millennium vibe to this week. But a House investigation into the Clintons?

The Shutdown Is Over (For a Week + Change) So yesterday the House voted the budget out of committee (barely 217-215, totally party-line), and then passed the Senate’s legislation, and Prznint Stupid signed the budget into law. DHS is funded for 10 days and then it shuts down. Now this is where things get interesting. The vote was "party-line-ish," but nowhere near as much as the procedural vote. 21 Blue Dogs voted with the Republicans, and 21 Budget Hawks voted with the Democrats.

The Future of Medical Care In Possum Hollar Shorter version: “The Hologram Will See You Now” Longer version: Let’s see: first they destroyed rural healthcare to pay for tax cuts for billionaires, then: 1) Fancy Autocomplete diagnoses what’s wrong with you (for a nominal fee), and B) they send its hallucination to a call center (somewhere?) to confirm/deny coverage.  iii) If Treatment is allowed, it will not be nearby because they closed the hospital, and you are on the hook to travel to it, and to pay for it.

The Miracle of The Orange 🤡 Economy, Part Infinity “If you build it, they will dumb" U.S. Manufacturing Is in Retreat and Trump’s Tariffs Aren’t Helping Levies on imports were supposed to bring back a golden age of U.S. manufacturing. They haven’t worked, so far. The manufacturing boom President Trump promised would usher in a golden age for America is going in reverse. After years of economic interventions by the Trump and Biden administrations, fewer Americans work in manufacturing than any point since the pandemic ended.

News That Will Drive You To Drink Happy Hour News Our corrupt and illegitimate SCOTUS has just added “opaque” to their sobriquet: In November of 2024, two weeks after voters returned President Donald Trump to office, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summoned employees of the U.S. Supreme Court for an unusual announcement. Facing them in a grand conference room beneath ornate chandeliers, he requested they each sign a nondisclosure agreement promising to keep the court’s inner workings secret.
