Bad Bunny made the message clear.

The rest of the world made their message clear:

We can move on without Donald Trump.

We can move on without MAGA.

MAGA is not America.

MAGA and America are not the world.

Let their ideas rot in the last millennium.

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier.

But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

Felon rapist Trump shouldn't be in a position to grant Ghislaine Maxwell clemency. He should be in a position to get the jail cell next to her or at least in the same prison.

For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal.

For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.

California reserved $165 million for Tesla to electrify its trucking industry. The result may stifle EV innovation California has set aside about $165 million in vouchers to subsidize the purchase of the Tesla Semi โ€” an electric vehicle that critics say is still not road-worthy.

Tesla received far more from this program than other manufacturers, despite the fact that its product may not have met certification requirements.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Goodโ€™s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls to resign over latest Epstein revelations Recently disclosed records suggest a closer relationship than the Commerce secretary previously indicated.

Lutnickโ€™s lies about his business dealings with a convicted child sex offender, raise serious concerns about his judgement and ethics.

Lutnick has no business being our Commerce Secretary, and he should resign immediately.

A gray wolf was spotted in LA County for the first time in 100 years yesterday. Clearly a big deal.

But on my morning walk thru Los Feliz, this "little wolf" (aka coyote) is giving off "hold my beer" vibes.

Ghislaine Maxwell MUST answer questions, but GOP Rep. James Comerโ€™s performative theater today doesnโ€™t get us there.

I've got the latest on Maxwellโ€™s deposition, Congress being able to view selective Epstein Files at DOJ, and Pamela Joโ€™s upcoming deposition.

Best in Show is very important to me.
When it came out, we rented it as a family and watched it for the first time all together, my dad's side, who we love but rarely see, and all the kids included. It was a time.
The opening scene brings me right back to the awesome awkwardness ๐Ÿ˜Š
