I know nobody under 30 will believe me, but this is the sort of scandal that ended careers, back in the before-times. Congressional hearings, weeks worth of Nightline reports, the whole works. The press _lived_ for this stuff.

Trump vowed to make D.C. β€˜safe and beautiful.’ Here’s what’s happened. An order by Trump has led to stepped-up federal law enforcement in D.C., including many arrests for low-level offenses. The White House says that has cut crime.

He's telling you and showing you how he'll go full authoritarian and still we won't wake up.

β€œHelp, O LORD, for there is no longer anyone who is godly;
the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
They utter lies to each other;
with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.” -Ps. 12:1-2

Not as hyperbolic as it used to sound

We're in court today fighting to stop the Trump administration's attempts at gutting Head Start, a program that's provided free early childhood education and childcare to 40 million children for 60 years.

President Trump's attacks on this essential program are an attack on working families.

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work A new Department of Energy report β€œfundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context β€”

I get Fox News is all lies. STILL…while at the fitness center (which has TVs at machines, many tuned to Fox), they are going on about an β€œeconomic boom” and TFG β€œtaking a victory lap.” By what measures/metrics?! How do they substantiate this? DO they try to substantiate it? (I guess they don’t?)

The Episcopal Church had a Presiding Bishop Curry, so the ELCA decided we need one too.

Congratulations and blessings to Bishop Yehiel Curry! May you lead and guide this church to better work for the life of the world!

Today is the 60th anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid. Can you imagine our country without them? Well, we’ll get a glimpse of that when 11 million Americans lose health insurance because of the Big, Beautiful Bill. Remember this when you vote in 2026.

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?

Jesus Christ this fucking guy.

It's a famine and a genocide, entirely created by your buddy Netanyahu, you syphilitic scumbag.

Go fuck yourself you pedo piece of shit.

Never forget and never forgive the people who voted for this.

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking
