The White House's new McDonald's™ Epstein™ Ballroom™ appears to have been designed on free software.

Explains a lot why he’s willing to pay for Anytime Access to This administration. Follow the thread for sources.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

As the Trump administration prepares to issue reports about the integrity of state election systems, the public should be on the lookout for familiar tactics used by election deniers to spread false or misleading narratives.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

So important

"A liar always knows he is lying, and that is why liars travel in packs” - James Baldwin op: @markwarner.bsky.social (via IG)

wow, which common vaccine was it?

In all the dust up over the East Wing, I don’t hear anyone asking “What about the Office of the First Lady?” Watching history bulldozed for a ballroom while SNAP benefits are ending is bad enough, but nothing shows how pathetic the work of this first lady is like the complete lack of consideration.

Best Political Commentary All Year

Beware the atmospheric river heading for the Bay Area, looks like 🧊 in the forecast

Serious question: who has standing to sue for this? Did my taxes not pay for the wooden paneling and marble and tile being wantonly destroyed rather than salvaged? Who agreed this was the best use of $200 million or so right now? Can someone bring a class action on behalf of US citizens?

AND provide universal free lunch for kids in school. Universal free lunch for every kid in the US would be 17-23 billion, and we just sent $40 billion to Argentina.

Happy Holidays

Passive voice strikes again

If there were nothing to see, it wouldn’t be a problem to release the files, would it? He wouldn’t be tearing down the East Wing to change the subject would he?

The waste of money is just staggering

What is ICE planning to do with guided missile warheads?

Tired: English chore coat Wired: Donkey jacket full of Italian baby lambs

If they are dying, at least they won’t bankrupt their families, BECAUSE THEY HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. Which apparently the GOP is fine paying for, as long as it’s for Argentinian farmers, not US farmers.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

But can we talk about why he’s wearing the oxygen mask on his chin, when his plane would reek of 💩? The intern didn’t catch that?

$40 billion could modernize water systems in every lead-poisoned town in the US and bring high-speed internet to rural America, but instead it's going towards bailing out Argentina

Clearly this is escalating. Somebody play a couple’s skate! Calm this situation down!

His party just approved an absolutely massive new budget for ICE and HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY’RE DOING? Definitely not earning his 71 days of pay and gold plated healthcare for 12 days of work.

They mad at us for participating in the most American thing that one can do! Peaceful protesting! Like the meme says, we just venting, its not storming the Capitol. No Kings

ultimately, zohran mamdani is a reminder that politicians can be younger than 80 years old

Sure would be nice to receive full pay and luxury health benefits for working 12 days in three months.

“Kids”

BUT DID HE STORE THEM IN THE BATHROOM OF HIS BALLROOM?

Sounds about right

I love this!

This is the energy we need from Dem leadership right now. Jeffries and Schumer should be taking notes. NYC will be lucky to have Mamdani.

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent. I love kids but I can barely afford my pets. Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

If only investigative journalists like @jaketapper.bsky.social were interested in talking about the cognitive decline of the leader of the free world, if they aren’t named Biden. 🤨

His strategy is to enjoy his free gold plated healthcare.

The time for this was last week, but the second best time is now. Do it already.

Fact check: Grandpappy has no idea which way groceries are going 🥴

So that’s a Yes for pepper balling a priest.

Let that sink in.
