Medals, Madness, and Manufactured Merit: Trump’s FIFA Fever Dream of Faux Glory
When a collapsing strongman demands validation, even sports leagues start handing out pacifiers.
The whole stupid ceremony throbbed with the same delusional confidence as an out-of-business chiropractor awarding himself “Best Spine Wizard” because no one else bothered to show up.

Senator Mark Warner Announces Reelection Campaign
The fight for 2026 starts right here.
Senator Mark Warner has been a wall between Trump and unchecked power, fighting for health care, workers, national security & the rule of law.
This is not a race to overlook.
This is the balance of power.
Let’s go, Virginia.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

He needs to resign and if he doesn’t resign, Congress must impeach him.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

Secretary of War Crimes
We need to call this shit out for what it is.
Let me say this plainly: If any other country had done this, we would call it what it is, a war crime. Because that is exactly what it was.

If you’re more upset about Democrats reminding members of the military NOT to commit war crimes than you are about Republicans using the military TO commit war crimes, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

YouTube video by Women's March
What Will You Say?
Holy shit. This video gave me chills. If you watch one thing today, please let it be this.
Women’s March is speaking directly to ICE agents, to their humanity & asking them to walk away from Trump’s unconstitutional crackdowns.
Watch. Like. Share. Make it impossible to ignore.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.
