How I miss the days when Jon Lovitz was a comedic actor and not an unfunny joke.

Automaton behavior. "Open the Oval Office doorway, Hal."

If you are thinking of running for Congress in 2026, you have very little time to get going:

1) form a committee with a treasurer (not you)

2) get it an IRS EIN number

3) open a bank account for the committee

4) file the FEC papers for your committee (which requires having an EIN & bank acct)

They better wear those MAGA hats to the food bank. Don't leave it at home now. Wear it proudly. Own it like you wanted to own the libs.

That’s the second reported and sourced story on US soldiers not being fed today

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Big text at the top says "ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur" This is followed by four consecutive drawings that are exactly of that. Grover is a man in his underwear with no ears and large bulbous eyes. A textbox says "this is what you wanted" Cookie monster is a large man with a small head, also in his underwear, with his eyes erupting from the top of his head. An accompanying text box says "you asked for this." Grover is a slouched, pale man with a wide head and wideset eyes, and a nose like a snake, he may be nude but it's unclear, since his waist is off screen. "Your desire for knowledge led you to this point" Elmo is a thin man in underwear, with eyes jutting from the top of his head and a bulbous nose. He has another face coming out of his chest. "ask yourself if you really needed everything answered."

Unannounced Child "Wellness Checks" by Armed Federal Agents Raise Concerns - Institute for Public Service Reporting - Memphis % % %

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

I have no idea why the rep from #NC11 in the mountains feels the need to weigh in on this, but it doesn't really matter

crime is DOWN in Charlotte

and for the crime they *do* have, that's what local, county, & state LEOs are for

all this would do is cause havoc

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

IRS to States: Direct File Tool Is a No-Go for Next Tax Season The IRS told its state partners this week that the Biden-era Direct File tool won’t be offered for the 2026 tax filing season.

Yet another way Trump is screwing working families: this was a FREE tool we set up so folks could file taxes directly, without paying an expensive service. So who does cancelling it benefit? The answer is not working Americans, but it sure is big corporations who profit off them.

US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

Call BlackLine—Crisis Call Line Call BlackLine—Crisis Call Line

As the days get darker, sometimes our moods do as well.

Did you know about BlackLine? It's a helpline that prioritizes BIPOC people including LGBTQIA+ members of our respective communities.

For now, it's only available in the US, but there's help from us & for us if you need it❤️‍🩹

I know there’s lots of talk about 2026, but there’s a big election in Tennessee December of THIS year. Pay attention to Aftyn Behn, running for Congress in Tennessee’s 7th District. She’s 35 & a former social worker. A recent poll had her within the margin of error. Republicans are running scared.

New Years Day, dawn

Bill Ackman was awakened by furious pounding at his mansion door. He expected the butler to handle it, but soon the sound of cracking wood filled the building. He jumped up with a start.

A cadre of Gen Zers, dressed in bright red military garb marched into his opulent bedroom.

It's so important for us to never, ever forget that so many wealthy donors and politicians tried to convince the city and the country that ANDREW CUOMO was the right choice for NYC mayor in 2025.

They really believed that they're powerful enough to polish a turd and make you think it was a diamond.

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

Pssht! Mannnn, you got this.

Recover tomorrow, then break it wide open this weekend. 💪🏾
