Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

If Whiskey Pete had to admit, "yeah, I fucked up. I should never have included advance information on airstrikes on a signal thread, regardless of who is on it," he'd be admitting that @duckworth.senate.gov was right about him, which would be a fatal blow to his masculinity.

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work.
"Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP.
So much government efficiency going on.
What a joke.

Canceling the measurement of economic impacts from climate change doesn’t make those costs — estimated to be nearly $2 trillion for the U.S. economy this decade — go away. Instead, it will likely have the effect of pushing them onto citizens.

Trump Order Shifts the Financial Burden of Climate Change Onto Individuals
The change would effectively transfer financial responsibility from oil drillers, auto manufacturers and others and leave Americans to face greater direct costs as warming continues.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.
