Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

Damn, this image nearly had me convinced, but then I recognized that feeling like my soul was being sucked out by a Dementor. It never fails

Walmart's Political Spending Walmart and the Waltons have spent over $32 million on politics this cycle. Here's who they gave to:

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

@Governor Janet Mills, you've been kinda quiet since your inspiring "See you in court" moment.

It's as if half (okay, a third) of the county didn't learn anything from a century of cinema.
