trump just said we don't say "chief of staff" any more because "the indians complained"

The most compelling argument for this is that Sam was once a baby raised without ChatGPT, and look how he turned out.

¡Dios Mio!

love to get lectured on the virtues of spartanism from the guy with the gold toilets

DEMOCRATS HAVE FLIPPED GEORGIA'S #HD121 (Trump+12): Eric Gisler (D)- 50.9% Mack "Dutch" Guest (R)- 49.1%

That sound you hear is Jon Ossoff pouring himself a glass of scotch. #GASen

executive privilege to stop the National Archives from releasing those materials. The officers had requested the documents earlier this year as part of their effort to hold him accountable for the violence at the Capitol. So much for Trump “supporting our police.”

I am speechless. This is truly amazing news in Texas. Great job, everybody. This is step one. 🥹

MAGA gets mad at me when I criticize Trump for using the r-word. Bluesky gets mad when I criticize Crockett for calling Greg Abbott "Hot Wheels." Maybe, ableism is just bad?

The lying is seriously getting more absurd by the day. Up is down.

You're not fighting “the atheists,” and you're not winning. You're fighting the Constitution, religious freedom, and the millions of Texans of all faiths and none who know it's not government’s job to impose one religion on every public school student.

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Yesterday's walk

Holy sh*t

I know I'm ok because I cannot fathom how humans can be like Trump and his ilk. I simply can't get it no matter how much I intellectualize it. I se the evil, yet can't understand how so much evil can be displayed in public with no push-back. So I am ok. Whew.

ChatGPT cannot fathom that we are living in this timeline.

Reader, he is, in fact, making this stuff up

Tunashamed

Sadly, Trump saying that word would always going to open up the floodgates. When Trump won, FT quoted a banker saying he felt "liberated" to say "pussy and retard." When Trump said the word, Jack Posobiec said "Trump just officially gave us the word retard back." www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Any Dem trifecta that does not abolish DHS and radically replace ICE/CBP is failing at its job. Any Dem POTUS lacking a trifecta who does not use his own oversight powers to radically change ICE/CBP and investigate any not preemptively pardoned is also failing at their job.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

Did your grandparents and great-grandparents really pay less for their homes than you did, even after inflation? The Department of Data might have the answer.

Harris County saw more than 31,000 residents leave in a single year, with high flood-risk neighborhoods leading the outflow amid soaring insurance rates and housing costs.

A Brown Boobook is admitted for injuries from a window collision. He's burrito-wrapped in a towel with an expression vaguely reminiscent of a certain Studio Ghibli character... Original post by Chungnam Wild Animal Rescue Center in Korea 🇰🇷 Source: fb.com/860196862802... #owlsintowels 💛🦉

NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found that Trump once did the very thing he claimed could be a crime.

The Trump National Security Strategy document warns that certain European countries are in danger of becoming majority non-European. But European countries are by definition 100% European. Unless they mean something else that they don’t want to explicitly say. 🤔👌

Kyocera claims 5.2 Gbps underwater laser data blast in lab tests

193 years ago today, Dec. 2, 1832, is an auspicious date in Texas history because it was on that date that Sam Houston crossed the Red River at Jonesborough and entered Texas for the first time. He could never, EVER have imagined all that would ensue as a result of that decision.

I’m empathetic with this change of heart. My agrarian individualistic heart certainly resents Chicago telling me I had to use cast iron shower drains just to keep plumbers in business. But we benefit from coordination provided by civil bodies. There’s balance to be had. Extremism isn’t helpful.

New: Colin Allred is dropping out of the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate and pivoting to run instead for the Dallas-based 33rd Congressional District.

Oh, this is good news. I love waking up to good news.

Good morning - starting the week with this video from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 🙏 💚✊NYC (and America) has always been, and will always be, a home for all immigrants.

When the House and Senate marked up stablecoin legislation, we raised all of these concerns - their anonymity, their nearly perfect design for money laundering. All the barn doors were left wide open. It’s used for crime because that is its purpose. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/t...

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss. We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

Trump apparently never heard the old Texas saying: “if you can’t take their money, drink their whiskey, screw their women and then vote against them, you don’t belong in office”

sorry I'm late! I have at last broken my silence on Pantone's Color of the Year johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/cloud-danc...

Why is a crypto coin that promotes Texas secession playing ads in the #houston airport?

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

In every corner of the country, community leaders like Reverend Dr. Beth Brown are meeting the moment and protecting their immigrant neighbors and loved ones from aggressive immigration enforcement.

Money can’t buy you not looking like you had bad plastic surgery

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Harris County saw more than 31,000 residents leave in a single year, with high flood-risk neighborhoods leading the outflow amid soaring insurance rates and housing costs.

Prosecutors have a constitutional and ethical obligation to turn over evidence that would support a person’s claim of innocence to their attorney. Too often, they fail to do so even when life and death are at stake. Read our new report at aclu.org/report-wrongfulconvictions

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

I wrote that siding with Trump on this “would not be a difference of opinion, an alternative path, or even a politicized decision. It would be a decision effectively overturning a key portion of the Fourteenth Amendment, and it would need to be treated as such.”

The Schelde (Scheldt river) east of Gent (Ghent), Belgium, once meandered widely and is now a relatively narrow river, a change that likely occurred in the Late Weichselian.
