Y’all. We’ve had snow before. Even in the past 8 weeks. What is this behavior DC? Do you think you won’t see groceries again before April? #snowmageddon2026

This cake from Paris Baguette was a total charmer at Christmas Dinner today. We’ve saved the penguins, because they were just too cute.

I’ve waited my whole life to have a space and a justification to put up a purple Christmas tree. This was the year. I have no regrets.

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Republicans just blocked the chance for a full vote in Congress to release the Epstein files. They’re banking on people not paying attention. These cowards care more about protecting billionaire pedophiles than doing their jobs.

Forcing lawmakers you disagree with to comply with 24/7 police surveillance is a gross civil liberties violation. President Trump and his allies in Texas will stop at nothing to silence voters of color, including targeting the elected officials who represent them.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Fanone: There’s absolutely no legitimate justification for the way that many of these agents are behaving and the military-style show of force. If we ever do right this ship, this organization has lost all credibility. I would hope we would completely abolish ICE.

Crockett: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit—we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away with this. He’s been able to get away with it because Republicans are complicit and—most importantly—the Supreme Court is complicit.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
