He really could be America's Head Coach if he'd do this full-time.
Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Saying “African Americans respond differently to vaccines” follows the same sentiment as “African Americans feel less pain.” It is racist, unsupported by any credible evidence, and endangers the lives of millions of Americans. Please. Call you senators.

Hitler tried a violent insurrection and failed. Later, he used the levers of power to take control legitimately and it worked.
Prediction: these protests and upcoming demonstrations will prompt Trump to threaten martial law. That's the next step.

When millions of struggling workers want to join unions, Trump's decision to neuter the NLRB is blatantly illegal. It is also a huge gift to Musk, Bezos & other billionaires who want to abolish the only federal agency that can stop their union busting.

Happy Imbolc or St. Brigid’s Day! Celebrate the hint of the return of light by crafting and preparing for gardening. Also marked by sweeping out the house with a birch broom and lighting candles. So knit away, order your seeds and compost, sweep out the cobwebs and read by candlelight tonight.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
