Irritable Brit living in Appalachia. Tell me a good joke. No, a GOOD joke. The last election has been rough on my spirit. PS Not interested in your OnlyFans or BitCoin Opportunity. Sorry. You’re humping a dead dog.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Each White House has its traditions. For JFK, it was Camelot-themed cultural gatherings. For Trump, it's holiday-themed rants against Democrats, judges, and political undesirables. Each is part of the festive cornucopia that make the American presidency so delightfully idiosyncratic.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.
