I wonder if he tells the story about Pope Francis being so horrified by him that he died the next day.

So Trump is going to get his name affixed beside John F. Kennedy on the Center, a living memorial for our slain president? I can't wait for the tear downs and dismantling of this grotesque and criminal name, everywhere it stains our nation.

A bit too on the nose for thanksgiving

Thou Shalt Never Again Complain About Egg Prices If You Voted For The Guy Who Canceled Food.

Just doing some informal mapping. Look who occupies the nexus of depravity.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

this Village People tribute band stinks

FEMA funds are now going to fund concentration camps in the everglades instead of helping people after a natural disaster. Seems all the rightwing conspiracy theories about FEMA building camps was projection all along.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

This man is 79 years old.

Our Governor is nowhere near perfect, but he’s spot on here.

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

The geniuses at DOGE are bringing us insights like "I'm not really sure why the tax agency for a country of 330 million people has a larger staff than a midsize bank"

We should start tallying Bobby's body count now. It's going to be big.

I'm not doing the Trump-appointees-as-Bond-villains thing again, but with someone this stupidly evil with this stupidly evil look and the stupidly evil name of EMIL BOVE, it's really really really tempting.

These people are vicious psychopaths. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/h...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Until a member of Congress goes to jail for theft and/or fraud, these offenses are going to keep happening. It is time for us to publicly declare—if by no means accept—that both DOJ and the FBI have no problem whatsoever with politicians defrauding their donors or stealing money from voters. None.

The front page of today’s Wall Street Journal encapsulates 2024 perfectly.

Big update! There were 5 separate bills having to do with pediatric cancer in the original CR. All got stripped out. BUT - the provision reauthorizing NIH pediatric cancer research already passed the house earlier this year. So Senate just put it into their bill and it no will get signed!

i am convinced that these people are death worshippers who want to spread as much disease and sickness as possible (i also think this is all tied up in eugenic beliefs about the “survival of the fittest” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars. When women rage, we create. We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things. Behold rage project #1

Neither has Trump.

Ziggy couldn’t be more content. Molly is fine, really!

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Peter Gelb’s guest essay in the NY Times strikes me as being really thin on detail and heavy on self-congratulation. Still, I’m really irked by the gratuitous attack on Ligeti. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...
