Tonight’s first #FridayLimericks of 2026 see the growing chasm between MAGA rhetoric and reality. As Trump’s stories grow long in the tooth, He’s more fully divorced from the truth. Any story he gins, Like his hair, quickly thins And unravels—no need for a sleuth.

I recently found another way that this poverty penalty affects people w/out healthcare insurance. I went in for 2 vaccines. 1st was no cost to me. The 2nd was going to cost me $40. With my current insurance card, the cost dropped to zero. The poor “fees” never end, even when trying to stay healthy

The Felon lost this just today, for use of the song Somewhere I Belong.

Here is the database that TheresasDaughter refers to in the clip below. As of 9:45pm Jan 2, 2026 there are 2119 actions they have recorded. This will be so important to have this all recorded. Thanks @sammiestsam.sheshed.rocks for sharing this! www.trumpactiontracker.info?

Dem policies can, and do, work. Republicans know this. That’s why they’ll spend Mamdani’s entire term trying to block/sabotage, everything he tries to do for the people. The answer is simple — if their constituents ever wise up…it’s a wrap. So they rely on sabotage, then blame the other side…

Just canceled my Trump Kennedy Center appearance.

Cats ♥️ NY @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social because they know who cares, who is trustworthy and who will keep them safe. Purrfection. 🐾💙💜🩷🧡💛💚🤎🖤🤍 #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue #Pinks

Jack Smith's deposition must be bigger news "There is no historical analog for what..Trump did..[H]e was free to say he thought he won..He was even free to say falsely that he won..But..he was not free to..violate federal law and use knowingly false statements..to target lawful government function"

A confession.

This is the democratic platform for 2026 & 2028.

WATCH — @milestaylor.bsky.social : “Trump is spending taxpayer dollars to honor himself by building monuments to himself. There is no better or more on the nose measure of someone's authoritarian tendencies than their desire to build monuments to themselves.”

ON DEM POLLSTERS: “Their collective diagnosis is blunt: The Democratic Party has too often resisted the economic populism that—as its own data has shown for years—wins elections… repeatedly retreated into an outdated vision of centrism...” open.substack.com/pub/libertya...

CBS has lost its way I used to admire their reporting especially 60 minutes No more They have lost my trust and my viewership open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Psaki: Trump's bruising "seems to have been caused by the conditions we already know Trump definitely does suffer from: stubbornness, a refusal to listen to experts, and a third-grader’s understanding of human anatomy."

people offended by $600 shoes are going to be in for a surprise when trump eventually reshores US manufacturing

All these doctors going on TV and posting on social media their comments that Trump’s self-medicating regimen and diet are unhealthy just need to mind their own business and let the man do his own research.

Bad news: he’s still here. Good news: so is gravity, aging, and the internet.

"His physical signs of aging are becoming more evident to some of his closest advisers. His skin is so delicate that Pam Bondi caused his hand to bleed when she nicked him with her ring while giving him a high-five at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee..." www.wsj.com/us-news/as-s...?

So I guess Trump woke up planning to invade Iran today but his handlers were able to distract him by bringing him to an interior design warehouse, then he just decided to play golf after instead.

With inequality at Gilded Age levels and more billionaires than ever, the Republican message is poor people have it too good

Idahoans United for Women and Families' petition has received more than 50,000 of the 71,000 signatures needed to put abortion access on the November 3, 2026, ballot. If I'm not mistaken, their website is iduwf.org which leads to a petition at www.backtoidaho.com/sign #USDemocracy #MomSky

Arc de Trump or Arch de Narcissism? This isn’t about history or patriotism. It’s a psychological tell. A president so insecure and obsessed with himself that he needs monuments, and gold trim in order to feel like a king. And we’re forced to watch him spiral in real time.

I mean given that he is constitutionally barred from re-election what exactly can you call this other than legalized bribery?

Baltimore Mayor: “Gun violence is a public health issue — we’re showing how to reduce violence the right way.”

DOJ is appealing the dismissals of the cases against Comey and James doe to Halligan being illegally appointed as prosecutor. Bondi’s appeal wrongly states she has the authority to appoint the prosecutor til one is approved by Congress. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

I would wager that the actual reason why no prior sitting president has apparently ever taken the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test, is that no prior president or VP since the test's creation in 1996 has ever engaged in behavior that is as suggestive of cognitive impairment as Trump has.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

I knew it! It felt like we were trapped in a demented Groundhog day. Nothing but cold temps, grey skies, and falling snow. We received 425% more snow in December than normal. Unfortunately, we still have 4 months of this shit to get through. edmonton.citynews.ca/2026/01/02/e...

"A team led by Scott Williams, an associate professor of anthropology at the Center for the Study of Human Origins at New York University, has spotted a detail in the femur bone... that strongly suggests this ape was a biped." This ancient ape probably had better reasoning skills than MAGA 😅🫠

"A panel of the... ninth US circuit court of appeals sided 2-1 with a gun owner in ruling that the state’s prohibition against open carry in counties with more than 200,000 people violated the US constitution’s second amendment right..." After all the death, they still side with the guns. #Pinks

CBS News laid off 100 people to fund Bari Weiss’s armed-guard, private-jet tour of American cities. I was once moderately optimistic that I could keep finding valuable CBS content, but no more. John Dickerson is gone; Margaret Brennan should go. Removing CBS from the dial, sadly.

TIMES OF ISRAEL: “Culture Minister Miki Zohar, of the ruling Likud party, says Gaza belongs to Israel, and that Palestinians in the territory are “guests” whom Israel is merely allowing to live there for now.” www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

💯💯💯👏🏽‼️

My lapel pin for the evening 😎

Great idea!

www.mediaite.com/media/feels-... #ProudBlue. CBS staffers are realizing Bari Weiss‘s job is not to rescue or drastically change CBS News. Her job is to totally destroy the reputation of CBS and CBS News. In doing so Bari Weiss is driving a stake into the heart of network news. CBS is already dead.

The photo seems most realistic.🙃

Well…. I guess this illegal bit off more than she can chew. Trump will give her one of them gold cards or wave his hand and make her a citizen. Then again she is a woman. And black. So…🤷‍♂️ #uspoli #cdnpoli www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

In the meantime WHERE ARE THE #EpsteinFiles ?? #FlashbackFriday WE KNOW THERE MUST BE MORE NOW. 👇👇

For those lacking context, it is probably this:
