I wasn't overreacting.
Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

Daddy's home! Guess that makes Putin MAGA's grandpop.
Standing and waiting like a pet poodle for a murderous foreign dictator who kills America’s friends and allies, trying to suck up to him by rolling out a show of the armed forces that mostly exist to fight that very dictator.
get a load of how excited Trump is to see Putin

I’ve been looking for a Colbert quote to post that did suitable justice to my reference for him. I think this might be it.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

Am I understanding this correctly...we are going to round people up and put them into camps, and then send them out on work release to do the jobs they were already doing when rounded up...without pay? Isn't there a word for that?

I know of two families receiving special education services that got a text message from a Washington DC phone number. The text included their child's first name and asked them to complete a survey asking if their child has a medical diagnosis of Autism. Has anyone else heard of this?

Anyone else struggling to do their daily, normal living tasks today? My grandpa was a pilot in WW2 and I think of all the sacrifices that generation made, only to see that utter shitshow in the White House yesterday ... I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Need a walk on the beach with my pup.

I propose that from here on out we pronounce "DOGE" like "dodgy." Makes just as much sense since we don't pronounce government as "jovernment" and it is much more descriptive.
