I didn't not realize the Trump administration was pro-bestiality. Apparently it can always get weirder!

If you haven't been masking, give it a try. What do you have to lose? Just wear one in crowds and on planes, trains, and buses. Find a style that fits, so you don't futz with it. You don't have to get sick all the time.

I wonder if they even have to pay these workers overtime to take Trump’s name off of the Kennedy Center or if it was more of a lottery situation.

This entire administration is an exercise in discovering why you need government and then scrambling to assemble an arm while cutting off another leg.

This approach is a disaster for any non-affluent person who has health needs, because such plans have very high deductibles and the average American can’t afford an unexpected $1,000 medical expense in a country with infamously expensive health care.

One thing we know is certain. If the President of the United States is in fact so untethered from morality and reality that he undertakes a nuclear strike tonight, the genocide will not have been viewed by the U.S. Speaker of the House, who will be unable to comment further.

Appreciate former Sugreon General Jerome Adams pushing back on anti-mask sentiment on Twitter/X
Tweet from Paula Scanlan that reads, "the number of people I still see wearing face masks in the year 2026 is genuinely concerning"

Tweet from Jerome Adams that reads, "Why do you care?  Honestly asking. I thought the original mantra was “to each their own.” It sounds like you’re wanting to impose your priorities/belief systems on others while saying they shouldn’t impose theirs on you? What am I missing?

Also, beyond Covid – many people have found wearing a mask, has lowered their allergy symptoms- and pollen counts are rising this time of year. And Asian cultures have worn masks for years – are you bothered by Asians? Again honestly asking.  🤷🏽‍♂️"

He doesn't want the Washington Post to survive any more than Trump wants the Kennedy Center to thrive or Musk wanted Twitter to serve as a genuine global town square. They want to co-opt these venerable institutions, and when they can't, they destroy them. Deliberately. And that's what's happening.
