I have recieved 29 automated emails from linkedin in the last 5 days including 6 on Christmas Day. I am not looking for a new job, nor am I available for freelance work, so I have opened exactly none of these emails. And I never will. You could not invent a better waste of time and energy.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

So if I’m following JD Vance correctly, the democrats are making them fire massive amounts of government workers so that they can pay the troops during the democrat shutdown and unrelated all the troops are being paid using tariff revenue.

That can’t confirm their identities because they don’t know who they were. But somehow they knew they were criminals who needed to be detained. They just don’t know who they were. But they were criminals, probably!

What’s funnier? Impeaching a president with thousands of counts, or impeaching him every day for two years? We know the senate will never convict so this would be purely for the lolz.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

For those playing along at home, DJT is invading Chicago in the name of Katie Abraham, a young woman killed by a drunk driver 3.5 hours away. This would be the equivalent of invading New York for something that happened in Marthas Vineyard. Or Brighton England for something that happened in Paris.

So you’re saying Donald Trump, a serial sexual predator, who sponsored teen beauty pageants, bragged about walking in on them getting dressed, threw lavish boat parties with 14 year old girls as entertainment, and was best friends with Epstein is some kind of pedophile? I don’t buy it.

I believe we are now headed for a hot war, which is a real bummer on account of how poorly equipped I am for a hot war. I grocery shop on a cargo bike and have a very elaborate hair care routine. War stuff is supes not my vibe.

Al Overview

No, Dunkin' Cereal Milk is not gluten-free because it contains milk, which is a common allergen, and as a result, it is not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
However, coffee drinks, dairy milk, and non-dairy milks like oat, almond, and coconut milk are naturally gluten-free at Dunkin'.

I like that Gavin is having fun, but it does make me sad to think how much effort he’s putting in only to come in 6th in Iowa in 2028. (Related: would have loved to see this energy on his podcast instead of all the capitulation to transphobic fascists.)

Trump deploying National Guardsmen in DC exposes one of his big lies about January 6th. Kash Patel falsely claimed for years that the Democrats failed to take Trump up on his offer to deploy the Guard on Jan. 6. But Trump could have deployed the DC Guard himself and didn’t. Now he does.
