I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

I saw a Super b Owl ad with the MAGA formerly known as Snoop and Giselle's ex-husband Tom somethingorother doing a college improv sketch where they were performatively clowning anti-racism messages. That's what I saw. Don't know what y'all saw.

The Republicans are going to pass a bill that requires us to show a passport to register to vote. Those of us who changed our names, we will need copies of our birth certificates and wedding licenses. Don't delay getting a hold of these documents and getting a passport.

Severance "Woe's Hollow" was so original, bizarre and satisfying. So many layers. Jungian (seals, shadows) and religious (the 7 deadly sins each on display at various times), not to mention a send up of corporate culture. Impressive art!

If Trump and Musk were trying to weaken the United States and sell it to its foreign enemies, how would they act any differently from the way they're acting now? Not at all, you say? Maybe you should wonder why that is.

@chu.house.gov My family depends on our tax refund every year. When tax day comes, we end up with a refund to cover the summer. We are public school teachers who don't get paid over summer recess If Musk steals our tax refund and you allow it, we are going to have a very big problem.

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away. It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.
To all personnel:
At the direction of Agency leadership, the USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan building in Washington, D.C. will be closed to Agency personnel on Monday, February 3, 2025. Agency personnel normally assigned to work at USAID headquarters will work remotely tomorrow, with the exception of personnel with essential on-site and building maintenance functions individually contacted by senior leadership. Further guidance will be forthcoming.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Sandoval the Cheater has no storyline on The Traitors. He's like an extra on this show. He has no woman to SCREAM AT, so he has nothing to do. His whole story arc on 11 years of Vanderpump Rules was screaming at women.

Keep a good thought for us. We've been given an evacuation order as we are less than a mile from the Eaton Canyon fire. We piled the cats and kids into the car and headed west to a friend's in Ventura.
