These thirty seconds show a scandal of unbelievable proportion and it might as well never have happened. Just sucked into the vacuum of history immediately. I can't dwell on it or I'll go crazy.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

And these are all unforced errors in manufactured issues. Just wait until a real crisis or disaster strikes and watch the incompetence magnify.

When we reorganized our pantry a few years back, we bought a combination of round Cambro and Rubbermaid Commercial (yellow lid) containers for dry storage. Highly recommend both.

Absolutely. I don't care much one way or the other about the Epstein scandal (there are much deeper problems with Trump and MAGA than revealing that the richest people in the country are shitty pedos), but it's a great wedge issue to break off the conspiracy caucus.

Fascists are desperate for violent disruption they can use an excuse for state violence and power grabs.

They have trouble with mockery, goofiness, and fun.

That holds across just about every type of authoritarianism. They like being feared for cruelty. They hate being laughed at and humiliated.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

The illegal USAID cuts are the thing that broke me

A complete dismantling of constitutional governance in order to facilitate crimes against humanity

What Trump, Musk, the Supreme Court, etc have done to these families is beyond cruel, beyond heartbreaking, beyond unforgivable

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Again, I just want to reiterate: we are in a golden age for people that want to crime. Go plan the most elaborate heist you can imagine. You'll get away with it, all the feds are otherwise occupied.

Picture of text on top and image meme on bottom.

Top: "Hey man, you wanna eat 6 boiled eggs in a row?"

"Nah, I'm good."

"We'll mix the yolks with mayo and mustard and put them back into the boiled egg whites and then cover it with paprika."

Bottom: Image of animated cartoon character in yellow shirt. He's saying, "You son of a bitch. I'm in."
