Dear law professors everywhere: please inform your students that no one has to use their angry drill sergeant voice to make a point. I’m seriously trying to understand the idiots who believe Pirro. The bs isn’t more believable when you say it angrily.

Bud Light, Dodge Ram, Monster Energy Drink, and Morgan & Morgan, we’re waiting for ANY ONE OF YOU to denounce the fighter’s comment! Today!

Rule of thumb: If you under-promise and over-deliver, you’ll always receive positive ratings. Do the opposite, and you run the risk of horrible reviews. Supply/demand. The customer keeps you in business!

I didn’t think it was possible for me to adore Rod Stewart more, but after his comment to King Charles, here I am, crushing it. 🩷

“Operation Epic Fury” was an EPIC FAILURE.

Two things can be true at the same time. Yes, he was a cruel leader. And yes, this attack was not the constitutionally correct method of resolving a conflict.

Just reupping this image from my newsletter last week, that I hope people will feel free to save and liberally spred around the interwebs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

US hiring rates remain near a post-COVID low in December, but vary dramatically from state to state DOGE-hit DC has the lowest hiring rate at 2.7%, but is now tied for last place with Georgia & New Hampshire. Alaska (5%), Nevada (4.7%), and Montana (4.3%) have the fastest hiring

I can’t watch news media anymore this week. I can’t seem to restrain myself from throwing my glass of wine at my television, and in this economy, I can’t afford a new one (the tv or the glass of wine!)

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

The word you’re looking for is “anticlimactic”.

Congratulate me! I’ve just been informed that I am the recipient of the Understated Holiday Decoration Peace Prize. What a humbling honor.

Arguably, the most important letter HCR has written:

I don’t want MAGA tears I want MAGA silence. I want MAGA reflection. I want better grammar and spelling. Some adult education and media literacy would go a long way. I know I’m asking a lot but it truly would make them feel better to know what was real.

CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.* The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

RFK Jr. says America is terribly unhealthy. If you compare the US to, say, the UK the EU Australia, Japan, Canada, or any other developed country, he’s absolutely right. The difference is not vaccinations, though. Those countries all have vaccinations. The difference is universal healthcare.

Once again, I've grossly underestimated how many white supremacists there are out there.

What’s it going to take, America?

Congrats to Tommy Fleetwood! Today’s victory was LONG overdue!

People say I rely on humor as a defense mechanism too much but like it’s either that or spit poison at your eyes or something so you pick I don’t care

Noooooo! Not Tiny Chef! Who’s responsible for canceling this show from Nickelodeon? The show just won an Emmy Award. Are you kidding?

“I know you are, but what am I?” Does anyone seriously think that electing a woman would have resulted in such childish behavior?

People are clearly confused about the meaning of Memorial Day. It is not Veterans Day. It is not the 4th of July. There shouldn’t be any fireworks or parades to “celebrate”. Please honor the ones who died in battle with reverence and class.

Please read/share if you love your national parks! New from @pamherd.bsky.social & me: A DOGEr is now running the National Park Service. They were already short of employees to manage record crowds. DOGE has cut 13% and wants to cut 30%. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-vs-a...

What I wouldn’t give to see a revamp of “Newsroom”. I’d love to see how Will McAvoy and crew would have handled the past 9 years in our history. Mr. Sorkin, are you listening?

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Truth.

If a plea for kindness and empathy makes you furious, you might be a sociopath.
