On the left is a ugly picture of Trump, on the right is a old 1950s photograph of William T Kelly, former Wharton professor. The quote is “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”

Just watched it. Wow. My friend Barb would have been shocked. She passed in 2020. She hadn't developed food for them for a few years before she died, but I remember being surprised when she said their safety standards were stricter than Whole Foods.

Wow. My late friend developed foods for both TJs and Whole Foods. She said TJs had much stricter standards. I’m going to have to find that article.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

I don't think there's any better example of leopards eating faces than the Lebanese immigrant who opened a Trump-themed burger restaurant and then got arrested by ICE.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

They’re holding their index fingers, rather than pulling them back like we do. I always loved the song since my junior high Dr. Demento days, but the video is so fabulous!

No dictator can survive ridicule. None. They know it, that’s why they kill the satirists.

Because when the people no longer fear the dictator, the dictator goes bye-bye.

All government is by consent of the people. If we don’t consent, they don’t govern.

Seriously, what the everlasting fuck is he talking about?

True

Screenshot of comments Vance made about Trump, including “maybe America’s Hitler, might be a cynical, asshole, cultural heroin, noxious, and reprehensible, I’m a never, Trump guy, never liked him, terrible candidate, idiot if you voted for him.”

There are actually people who want to put his ugly, orange face up there.

I wouldn’t carve his face on a pet rock.

Let’s just make him a chia pet and call it a day.

At this point, they are pathological. It’s not even funny. It’s dangerous. If we were a nation of educated, rational people, the majority would see this for the bullshit it is. But there remains a sizable portion who will actually believe this. We will die of stupidity.

Apropos of nothing in particular this morning, I've been told that, in essence, there are two things that physicians can't do at the White House medical unit: MRIs and surgeries. Virtually anything else can be done there if you have to or want to.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize
