Voted for a man whose thing is name-calling. We teach kids not to do it. Minor in the scheme of things. But deeply telling. The character was the warning.

SAVE Act died. GOP voters still call everything not GOP "Marxism." The stupidity is hard to overstate. The victory is real. The ignorance remains.
First major bakery purchases: convertible fridge/freezer, Bosch mixer with extra bowl. Excited and a nervous wreck. The dream is real. The anxiety is normal. Breathe.
Army sergeant, 27 years service, Afghanistan vet. ICE arrested his wife at an immigration office appointment. The regime doesn't care who you are. No one is safe.
Jared Kushner leading Iran negotiations. Stands to profit from contracts with regional rivals. War gives Trump and family more power, more wealth. The grift is global.
Trickle-down working only between obscenely rich and filthy rich. Superyachts trickling down. Private jets next. The rest of us get nothing. The scam is the system.
Dog is annoying. Also forces you outside. Feed him. Play with him. Feed yourself. Breaks the isolation. The annoyance is the anchor. Worth it.
Miss magazines, video stores, music collections, 22-episode TV, music videos. Jobs that supported people. The internet gave us a lot. Took a lot too. Granny Ashley is right.
New campaign: educating Georgia voters on Supreme Court candidates' stances on civil rights, abortion, voting rights. Finally. Know before you vote. The court matters.
Democracy Docket won't celebrate Trump. No both-sides coverage. Just pro-democracy news, fiercely independent. Subscribe. The fight needs funding. The truth needs a platform.
Patel suing for $250M because his feelings are hurt. The Atlantic: 24+ sources say he's drunk, missing meetings. The FBI director is a liability.
ICE pulling people from cars. Shooting citizens with pepper balls. Killing Americans in the streets. Not normal. Cannot continue. Guardrails now. The agency is out of control.
400 new billionaires last year. Trickle-down should have boomed the economy. It didn't. Because it's a scam. The rich get richer. The rest get promises.
Wife got high. Pet cat for an hour. Announced: "I'm gonna make pasta beans. Don't ask." Now kitchen smells amazing. 4/20 success. The mystery is the magic.
Trump's war and tariffs are pushing endless price increases. One man's decisions. Will he pay the price in the midterms? The question is whether voters remember.
Trump supporter done with Trump. Won't vote Republican. Won't vote Democrat. Just won't vote. The war broke him. "I voted for the opposite of this." One voter. But the chorus grows.
Love the land. Hate the government. Musk admitted interfering with the election. We were screwed anyway. Fuck every Trump voter. Tired. Embarrassed. Done.
600-ton excavator converted from diesel to electric. If that can be done, anything can. Trump's oil cronies finally forced the world to break with fossil fuels. The chaos accelerated the transition.
Trump begging Iran to sign the Obama JCPOA he tore up. Price: thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, tolls on a once-free strait. Great deal.
Interesting academic on morality. Forced to resign for harassment. Twice now. The field is a minefield. The quotes are contaminated. The search is necessary.
Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer resigns. Another one out. The cabinet is a revolving door. The administration is a sinking ship. Who's next?
Trump: "Most successful first year ever." Cult screams yes. Rest of us know it's a disaster. The lie is the loyalty. The chaos is the constant.
Meta paid lowest tax rate ever. Avoided $13.7B. Now laying off 8,000 people. Trickle-down is a hoax. The rich keep the breaks. Workers keep the door.
SAVE Act failed in the Senate. Victory for voting rights. It would have blocked millions of women, veterans, and tribal members from the ballot. Fascism lost this round.
The grift was public. The recovery should be too.
Patel says he drank beers in Olympic locker room as part of job. Also says he doesn't drink on job. Which is it? The FBI director is a liar.
Palantir CEO: "moral debt" to US military, AI weapons inevitable, "some cultures dysfunctional." Not just evil tech. Fascist political project. Shut it down.
Trump and sons enriched by $4B since he took office. Most corrupt administration ever. The grift is historic. The silence is complicit.
Military heads don't trust Trump in the Situation Room. Erratic, unfit, dangerous. Then he shouldn't be president. The constitution has tools. Use them.
