Trump Administration Live Updates: President to Deploy National Guard in Washington, D.C.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening. Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. There is no emergency. This is a test run. If the courts, Congress, and the rest of us let him get away with this, he’ll do it in every city that doesn’t capitulate to him.

Reboot Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” but with Alan Dershowitz and the whole show is just enjoying him never getting food because he’s a querulous, joyless douche and he’s constantly demanding that the Laotian street vendor or whoever denounce Hamas before he’ll try the khao jee

Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

Racism, willing to violate people's rights, willingness to hide your identity, and a willingness to carry a gun- especially if you don't really know how to properly use one.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Radar the cat

Radar the cat

We just walked into an animal shelter because we drove by and saw they were having an adoption drive. Then the volunteers there told us that this sweetheart has been in the shelter for over a year. But they’re waiving the adoption fee for folks who come in to adopt Radar or another cat today.

See Kevin, if they were to actually provide that info, then they couldn't report on the inevitable fascist boot falling on D.C.'s neck that this press conference will "justify" as if it was a perfectly normal thing and not yet another illegal and immoral abuse of power.

The covers they did on that leg of the tour—also Royals, Highway to Hell—were amazing. Tom Morello makes everything better.
