DOGE cuts were stupid and ill-conceived. How much time, effort and money would've been saved if all of these (and many, many other) positions were just left untouched? 🎁 wapo.st/48mGeZ1

Maybe if he had started blowing up fishing boats sooner he would've gotten the Nobel. Also, this shows you everything you need to know about FIFA.

Roads and sidewalks are fine in Kingman Park, and it's pretty. #firstsnow #snow #dc @capitalweather.bsky.social @thehillishome.com @hillragdc.bsky.social @popville.bsky.social

Pardon me?

How long have we been using email and people still don't know when NOT to use "Reply all?"

Always two weeks away from ending the war.

The 2025 version of the Capitol Christmas Tree after the ceremony ended. Always the best tree in town. #dc #christmas @popville.bsky.social @thehillishome.com @hillragdc.bsky.social

This year's Capitol Christmas Tree looks kinda small compared to other years. Kinda like the Congress itself. #dc @thehillishome.com @popville.bsky.social @hillragdc.bsky.social

LOL

When did Advent calendars become a thing outside Catholic circles?

Best thing about winter weather grilling? No mosquitoes! #dc @capitalweather.bsky.social

Trump has wasted no time milking this shooting to the fullest extent. It's almost like they were waiting for something like it to happen.

"Your Walmart turkey may be smaller and actually more expensive by the pound, but, hey, at least you HAVE a turkey!"

Irony isn't dead, Exhibit #2819904271

Waiting for someone to explain how this is bad for the Democrats.

This sounds like a lead trial balloon that exploded when it landed.

NARRATOR: But before Vance's promised boom, a giant economic bust will happen.

Is there really a truce when attacks are still happening?

Prices on everything are too high. Trump is corrupt. And Trump could be a pedophile. All can fit in one ad. Or a set of three.

He must think Megyn Kelly will save him.

If you build it, $2000 will come. In two weeks.

The old political axiom goes: "When you're explaining, you're losing."

Bitcoin was at around $97K on January 1, 2025. So now it's back to negative for 2025.

Retailers do this all the time -- prices get jacked up, then they announce a sale or discount to bring them back down, but never back to or below their original levels. And they promote it as a big money saving deal, like, say "Prime Day" or something.

Now they're seriously trying to rehabilitate Jeffrey Epstein?

Another aspect of the coming health care crisis: cheap plans that don't do shit when you have REAL health issues. The screenshot quote from an appropriately named attorney says it all. 🎁: wapo.st/4oRpNtt

If the #auroraborealis was out tonight, it was far more subtle than last night. Contrast with the previous storm from 10/11/2024 (2nd pic). #dc #aurora @capitalweather.bsky.social

#Trumpflation on every bumper sticker in the next cycle

The "peace president" is about to start a shooting war with Venezeula, a country much, much weaker than us. For what, exactly?

Trump's hair had a wind issue this morning at Arlington.

Trump's still trying to shill Vererans Day as "Victory Day." And using Russia as an example.

Only a bit more than half-full at the Veterans Day ceremony featuring Trump at Arlington. Maybe because it is pretty cold out?

Good.

Happy #VeteransDay from Arlington! Winds are really whipping up the flags, so I hope Trump's using a lot of hair product.

He's running.

$2000 *might* cover the cost of ACA health insurance for one month.

The only way I'm rationalizing the CR deal: the Dem senators who came up with it are betting that since voters already blame GOP for shutdown and healthcare cliff (and by whopping margins), there'll be enough scared GOP lawmakers to pass a standalone bill in December. Maybe.

As a symbol of corporate greed and political grift in my neighborhood, why not?

Now do Trump and family.

I thought Trump was a "peacetime" president

Wait...the Fox what?

The Sandwich Guy case is a wacky story about serious issues. The Selzer case is a serious story about serious issues.

The ham and cheese stand alone.

Denial is just a river in Egypt.

If Tuberville wants to invade Nigeria, he should lead the charge.

Big winners tonight: Democratic Party Big losers (besides MAGA/GOP and Trump): DC pundit class #Election2025
