Tonight is the beginning of Passover, when we mark our doorposts with the blood of the lamb so that the angel of death will pass over us. Hopefully, the folks at Mar-a-Lago will be too busy getting lip filler to remember this.

If you can’t see that he’s manipulating the market for the benefit of his billionaire friends, with no regard for the welfare of the American public, then you’re probably dumb enough to have voted for him.

Georgia just passed a “religious freedom” bill. I am really, really tired of having other people’s religious views foisted on me and the rest of the country. I don’t dispute your right to whatever faith you want to pursue, but leave the rest of us the hell alone.

Well, now that we have Gabbard and Kennedy, I guess once they confirm Patel, the Hunger Games will officially begin.

Today MOTUS takes press questions in the Oval Office for 30 minutes while the PINO looks on.

Frmr Ambassador Andrew Young just on local ATL news saying he doesn’t think anyone in the Trump administration knows what they’re doing; that it’s like an experiment; like “intellectual masturbation“!!!

I don’t even know where to look first anymore.

@abcnetwork.bsky.social, @nbcnews.com, @cbsnewsconfirmed.bsky.social don’t you DARE try to normalize that insane press conference when you report on it tonight.

Wait. So now Press Secretary Barbie is saying they DIDN’T rescind the executive order freezing federal funds? WTF is going on?

Mr. Rogers said if we’re in trouble we should look for the helpers. Who exactly would that be right now??

This time last year I felt safe without even realizing it. Now I feel like I’m in constant fight or flight mode.

He told us he was gonna do all of this stuff, but the sheer onslaught of this first day has been overwhelming. I can’t believe we have at least four more years of waking up every single morning and wondering what fresh hell awaits us.

I’m about to go to bed and all I can think is this is our last night of living under a sane government in a democratic America. See you on the flipside. Godspeed to us all!

In addition to the substacks I subscribe to, I also have the AP and Reuters news apps on my phone so I get notification of breaking news. When I get a notification from both of them at the same time, I know it’s a big story. Y’all all know what I’m hoping for every time that happens, right?

I just read all my morning daily newsletters @democracydocket.com, @joycewhitevance.bsky.social, Meidas News, Contrarian, and it really hit me that on Monday it’s all going to hell. That pit in my stomach has pretty much overtaken my body. (Also read Jay Kuo & Harry Littman). No MSM!

Raise your hand if you think the Supreme Court is going to do anything except exactly what Trump wants it to.

HS “friend” commenting on post about Trump’s batshit crazy press conference says not to judge him by what he says because it’s designed to “evoke a positive response for the US.” What in the actual hell is he talking about? These people are spinning so hard they’re dizzy!

The local Atlanta news coverage of Jimmy Carter’s procession is so moving. His life was such a contrast to the incoming!

We are in the Upside Down. How can anyone, especially journalists and political leaders think even an iota of this is normal? He is batshit crazy. We are so fucked.
