This isn’t going well.

On this day in 1992, Nirvana dropped "In Bloom," the Kurt Cobain anthem that blasts into Nevermind and still hits with the same raw thunder decades later.

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace-business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me-and I welcome their hatred.

Right now, our amazing service members with the California National Guard are helping power expanded food bank operations across the state.

California refuses to let the Trump government shutdown's halt to federal food assistance abandon Californians in need.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Omg. Let’s play the game balderdash! Here is my definition of swifto: Not a particularly complimentary nickname for “a little diminutive fellow.”

My Thoughts on the Riyadh Comedy Festival I’ve been asked for my opinion on the Riyadh Comedy Festival and rather than answer the same question 23 times, I’ll just put this out here. Oh, and I should preface this with the fact that I was not ...

Tonight, the American people - in defense of free speech - returned a political satirist to the airwaves after a burgeoning fascist regime tried to silence him.

It’s an historic night. I won’t forget it.

I will never forgive Joey for making me realize that was a thing. 😭

This is terrifying but necessary to watch. Speak now or they will forever hold your tongue.
