Make the same economic comparison between pretty much any Democratic president and Republican president and the result is always about the same. We are always better off under a Democrat.

Can you imagine the situations we would’ve been in in the past without these people and the job they do? Given the last 24 hours, can you imagine where we might be in the next 24?

Save the Fourth Estate.

A Craigslist listing in the Boston area offered free tickets and $50 per seat to attend screenings of the Melania documentary on its opening weekend. The offer requires attendees to remain in their seats for the entire film. Nothing could embody the Trump ethos more, and it's goddamned nauseating.

Simply calling someone “law enforcement” doesn’t make it so.

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

I mean, sure, if there was a war and they snuck up on some soldiers by adopting the trappings of civil aviation, you might call it a war crime. But since there wasn’t one and they snuck up on some civilians who were probably fishermen and at worst drug dealers, it’s just fuckin murder.

“Kennedy Center Goon” was never a part of the English lexicon…until now.

Trump said there were no murders over the last 6, 7 months in DC. Of course he lied. There have been 59 homicides in the last 7 months per DC Crime Cards.

🔥WATCH — @debunktionjunction : “So let me get this straight… @joerogan is staring at a chart where the data ends before Trump is even elected, but is somehow trying to tie the reduction in drug overdose deaths (under BIDEN) to the Venezuelan boat strikes??”

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Wow I miss Picasa. It was better than any AI crap will ever be and better than any Picasa wannabe that has been chasing it since Google abandoned it. Google Photos doesn’t hold a candle to it.

Leave it to “Christians™️” to commit acts of war on Christmas Day. Peace on earth and blah blah blah…

Trump-class battleship.

You know you f’d-up when a prime-time movie (The Insider) is made about your corporate f-up and being forced to be the news organization your entire business was built upon. Why not double down and take out the entire network doing it all over again. History repeats.

Media should start doing all news stories with Trump’s name and face redacted. Stop providing oxygen to the plague.

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

I find the AI tsunami that is hitting our culture, government, businesses and lives pretty ominous and worrisome. Merriam-Webster has made "slop" it's word of the year, descriptive of the quality of results being meted out by AI.

Feverishly working on this

Article 122! Thank you EU!

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

For the first time, the Kennedy Center Awards were presented in the tiny Oval Office instead of the Kennedy Center For Performing Arts. Donald used his now-vulgar Oval Office for the ceremony to avoid the embarrassment of TV audiences seeing an almost empty theater.

When are we going to disabuse ourselves of the belief that repeatedly reporting the “kill everybody” order will be received negatively by any of the “thou shalt not kill” religious spouters among the MAGA adherents? They’re cheering from the sidelines and playing grand theft auto video games.

I never cease to be amazed by how many column inches of advertising space automobile manufacturers spend extolling the attributes, design elements, virtues and plethora of their vehicles’ cup holders.

It’s Election Day in Tennessee, and we know: The power is with the people. If you live in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, head to IWillVote.com to make sure you know when and where to vote today.

The Pentagon reporters who have been kicked out of the building continue to break huge stories every day while the right-wing New Media continue to post selfies of themselves hanging out in the Pentagon.

There’s a whole lot of dog wagging going on.

It’s almost as if we should have some law that forbids deploying U.S. military forces on U.S. soil for police actions. How could anyone have ever have foreseen the down side to that? /s

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!! 👏👏👏 Dems on the Oversight Committee launched a tracking system “to hold the Trump Administration accountable” for ICE/DHS fed abuses and misconduct. View what’s been documented so far or submit a new report: bit.ly/tellonice #TellOnICE #StopICE #ICEwatch #ICEraid #50501Movement

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend. Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

Its the season to make these evergreen considerations to be on the water safely. open.substack.com/pub/triangle...

Instant karma for the first person who does a ballistic gel test with a Subway sandwich.

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

Just a FYI, President Biden secured the release of 140 hostages in Gaza. Trump? 28 That means Biden was responsible for 84% of all hostages freed. But you'd never know it the way the media talks. Biden is the real "Peace President "

When is someone going to enforce the Hatch Act?

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin. 4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short 4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China 5:20 PM: $19.3 B in liquidations hit the market The whale’s profit: $192 million

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

“His extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. The above is clearly the reason why Trump will never win this prize…

What’s old is new. Bless these people. www.committeeforthefirstamendment.com

“ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence,” a Reagan-appointed judge wrote. The extraordinary ruling blended both unapologetic evisceration of President Trump and admiration for the rights Trump has trampled on.

Thank you Democrats for standing firm!

Please everyone in #WarRavagedPortland post your best photographs of the devastation there so that you will not suffer alone!!

The Golden Age of Trump

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Bagram Air Base was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. What an idiot.

Are you kidding me? Facebook has removed the option to search for/filter “Posts”. Could Zuckerberg be any more in goose step with Trump in deleting history?

fuck you, ABC. fuck all the way off. start fucking off over here, & then fuck yourself all the way there, and and then keep going, until you’ve fucked yourself right to the edge of the universe. When you get there, eat the bowl of fuck that’s waiting for you. www.jefftiedrich.com/p/abc-can-pr...
