Are there any metrics for how large the critical mass should be? There are percentages bandied about for necessary protest support to sustain momentum, and others for support of revolution. What percent of the population needs to be decent?
I have no doubt the checks will get written, but will they bounce?
Those outlets look more like echo chambers than megaphones. "In space, no one can hear you scream"
Here's the Canadian ad they are objecting to. The added context doesn't really change the message IMHO. Is the Reagan Library cleverly Streisanding the message?

Here's the Ronald Reagan ad from Canada that Trump calls "fake."
The Reagan Library wants you to hear the whole thing. Okay, so?
So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

There's a dark and a troubled side of life
There's a bright and a sunny side, too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view

Oh, it's been getting so hard
Living with the things you do to me, ah-ha
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see

Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact, his eyes are as red as a sun

Oscar Goldman: Steve Austin, astronaut: a man barely alive
Gentlemen we can rebuild him
We have the technology
We have the capability to make the worlds first bionic man
Steve Austin will be that man
Better than he was before
Better, Stronger, Faster

We are going back to the 70's with the White House in the place of The Six Million Dollar Man in a mashup with The Ballroom Blitz.
F-ing homonyms. How do they work?
no-nothing should be know-nothing. It's too early in my morning to be clever.

It is absolutely not the Epstein Ballroom, don't put it in print that it is the Epstein Ballroom. Trump would not like it if you did call it the Epstein Ballroom, because it just isn't.
Epstein Ballroom. That's what it is.
Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!
Hey that billionaire created jobs for those thieves. /s

guided missile warheads?
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

You might call her Leaky Lindsey, but that's not quite fair since she didn't appear to leak, merely insinuated.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

You teach golfing for lawyers? But seriously defining a lie could get deep.
Interesting long piece on the rise of China and the US response.

I suppose even though he doesn't have this press pass, he might think he could end up liable for statements he wrote or were inserted into his articles.
