My personal anthem at the moment. A little on the old side, but it makes me smile.

Hope someone asks him again about seating Rep. Grijalva!

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

All that plastic surgery when what she really needed was a brain transplant.

I think something's getting ready to break on Epstein. Eric Swalwell claims MAGA Congresspeople are going to turn turtle on Dear Leader. Michael Wolffe thinks Yam Tits is going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell this week. The survivors are holding their presser today.

Voodoo should have refused service. I would tell them to fuck all the way off.

I cannot fathom a world without Dolly. She is not allowed to leave us!

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

No. This is not allowed. Dolly is a national treasure and she is needed here!

The proxies and surrogates are making the case for Dear Leader to invoke the Insurrection Act. Junior’s hard at it, too.

Ah, so the MAGAs in the Federal government will make themselves known and get paid. Everyone else will get fucked.

“.. we’re going to take care of our people,” Trump added. “There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of. And we’ll take care of them in a different way.”

My senator is so chill most of the time. I'm glad he's giving her a hard time here.

Kate Sometimes @bestsloth.bsky.social · 23h

She so reminds me of Roy Cohn.

As a border dweller on the US side, I can refute the hell out of this. Canadians hate Trump and don't come down nearly as often as they did last year. We used to see Quebec and Ontario plates almost as often as US plates. Not anymore. In fact, maybe once a week instead of dozens of times a day.

Oh, poor Pam! So deeply offended by someone using a name other than what's on their birth certificate (LIKE I DO).

Kate Sometimes @bestsloth.bsky.social · 1d

I do too, but today's Tuesday, so I went for it!

Oh, apparently I missed that little detail. Thanks for the background!

She's SO proud of the regime's defiance of the law:

“My attorneys have done incredible work advancing the Trump agenda and protecting the executive branch from judicial overreach,” she told the senators. ”We have been sued more than 400 times since January 20.”

I rarely use this word because it's gravely offensive to me.

But Pam Bondi is a C-U-N-T.

What really should be obvious to every American is that Wisconsin has the stupidest Senator in the country.
