Team Donny spent all day yesterday taking a victory lap, celebrating the Twelfth Spigot-Opening Battalion โ€” the Fightinโ€™ Spigoteers! โ€” in their glorious victory over Californiaโ€™s rebel forces at the Battle of the Ginormous Fucking Faucet That Doesnโ€™t Actually Exist. the whole nonsensical fairy tale spilled over into the White House press room.

This is disgusting. Trump just announced he will sign an executive order to house migrants at Guantรกnamo Bay.

Like they are f*cking war criminals!

This freeze threatens families who lost their homes in natural disasters and rely on FEMA for temporary housing, veterans who rely on government housing and non-profits, among so many other Americans.

This is important. Russell Vought is a main architect of #TrumpsProject2025 we are seeing implemented rn. Call both your Senatorโ€™s and say hell NO! 202-224-3121.

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. Theyโ€™re only back up because of the outcry. Iโ€™d tell you to stop lying but we know thatโ€™s a feature of this administration.

The U.S. stockmarket falls both when:
1. The U.S. announces new tariffs (dark blue bars)
2. Other countries announce retaliatory tariffs (light blue and gray bars)
We lose both on the punch and counterpunch.

Trump Supporters Are Begging Him For Their Jobs Back "My wife is in tears! Please, Mr. President, fix this mistake!โ€

Dear Humans,

Trumpโ€™s hiring freeze has left his own supporters jobless and humiliated. Now, theyโ€™re begging him to fix the chaos he causedโ€”and the irony is nothing short of divine. Grab some popcorn; itโ€™s time for thy daily dose of schadenfreude.

Attn: Target we are done!!!

Black folks, do not spend a dime here. Do not spend money where you will not be hiredโ€”or where they will not carry your products.

Target is spitting in your face!

Do any of you have an address where I can send Pete Hegseth a bottle of champagne to congratulate him on his confirmation?

Thanks in advance.

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office.

But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection.

The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

The Senate has confirmed Kristi Noem to serve as the Secretary of Homeland Security, elevating yet another sycophant to lead in executing one of Trump's biggest, cruelest obsessions in his second term: cracking down on, slamming, and persecuting all immigrants.

Noem has been confirmed in aโ€ฆ
