Thoughts at 3am. Do you think dogs wonder why they can’t grab a cup to drink? They see us eat food with our hands… Do they ever wonder why they can’t drink with their paws?

I want to take a moment of reflection. I don’t post a lot of threads anymore (bc really who wants to read them) but this seems like a good time to make a few points about wins & losses & surviving & fighting during the Trump administration’s siege on democracy. Especially as 2025 comes to a close.

At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln. As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.

Some of the U.K.’s richest residents are leaving for Spain, Italy, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates — places where taxes are lower or where they can pay a flat tax to shield their global income.

wapo.st

Are the super-rich leaving London? Tax changes could spur wealth exodus.

Oligarchs, exiled leaders, hedge fund managers and high net worth locals have coexisted in a city where old and new money collide. That may start to change.

A favorite story about Dolly Parton proves kindness pays. 18-year-old Parton met her future husband her first day in Nashville after leaving her childhood home in East Tennessee. “She was leaving the Wishy Washy Laundromat when 21-year old Dean waved and spoke to her,” the Tennessean reported.

from today's post, about the fuckery that went down at the secret crypto greedfest dinner that was held last night at Donny Convict's Virginia golf motel please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/3Zw1nel (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

cranking the greed dial way past eleven, Donny held a Who Can Give Me The Most Money Contest to reward ‘investors’ who bought the most memecoins.

last night, the top 220 shovelers-of-cash-into-Donny’s-pocket got to have dinner at his Virginia golf motel — and today, the top 25 shovelers will get a personal tour of the White House.

here’s what we know about what went on last night: fuck-all.

you want to know who attended Donny’s corruptionpalooza? fuck you, that’s their names.

you want to know what countries they came from? fuck you, that’s where they live.

you want to know how much Donny personally profited off of each attendee? fuck you, that’s how much.
