Maybe Trump should ask his brave, Trump-flag-waving, boat- and yacht-owning supporters to go open up the Strait of Hormuz. Surely they would be happy to make the sacrifice for him.

If there are any prosecutors out there likely to have the pull one day... Bondi just made herself part of an ongoing conspiracy to cover up a child sex trafficking ring. ..and I think the continuous nature of that crime along with others meets the RICO standard, no?

Voting for Democrats does not mean you support everything they do, say, or inact. It just means you’d rather complain about their centrist nature than Republican fascism. Both sides are not the same.

My dad died 2 weeks ago. From sepsis following spinal surgery. It’s been an ordeal to say the least. All things considered, I was holding it together pretty well til I got an in stock notice for something I wanted to buy him for Xmas. You never know where those flash-bangs are gonna come from.

My single person ACA plan in Georgia is going to be $1485 per month. It WAS $548 per month. 10k more per year. It will be 37% of my take home pay. They just really want people who aren’t as rich or crooked as they are to die, don’t they?

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

There are some things about modern medicine that are miraculous. There are others that become cruel choices that didn’t used to be made by an exhausted and grieving loved one, that now rest on their alternately hopeful and grieving shoulders.

My dad fell and broke his back a few weeks ago. I have been helping the folks at their house since his 7 fused vertebrae surgery and I am going to go insane listening to the garbage and lies coming from the nonstop Fox Not-News-They-Claim-In-Court.

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

Well, ONE worry vanished yesterday. My brother got a job offer. Then my boyfriend fainted out cold in the yard. He is okay. I am still not over it. Scariest damn thing I’ve ever seen as he had a heart attack last year. I hadda tell somebody so that’s all of y’all.

I’m not destitute but I feel impoverished. Not homeless but I keep thinking about surviving without one. Not going hungry but I’m obsessed with my veggie garden & pantry. Is this how my grandparents felt ALL the time? They were great depression/WW era folks & I’m starting to act just like them.

I don't care that Hegseth ordered them to install a makeup studio. I care that he's a white nationalist war criminal with neo-Nazi tattoos who keeps sharing classified information with randos in lieu of having friends. That feels somehow... bigger.

I guess it’s good to know that the next Democratic president can ship Trump and his cabinet off to a Central American prison without a trial and we won’t ever have to worry about them coming back.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*
