NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.
“Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.
We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.
But apparently… it is real. Donald Trump reportedly has a footwear fetish. He’s testing the loyalty of his lieutenants by whether they’ll lace up in the same black shoes he wears. And yes, it’s creepy.

"All the boys have them." Indeed. Scaredy-pants little boys who think they're big shots 'cuz the bully picked them to make fools of themselves. First the red ball caps, then the too-long red ties, now, shoes. Don't like 'em? Tough. Hobble around, show the boss you're a good little suck-up. 🤮
I don’t think it’ll take long to have a Vietnam-level public response to what America is doing in Iran. It’s barbaric, there’s no clear mission or even reason to be there, and it started out unpopular.
In the last week, the US has bombed schools, hospitals and, now, freshwater desalination plants.
The US is depriving Iran’s citizens of the basic essential of life: water.
It is not unfathomable that we will see the ICC issue arrest warrants for Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
It’s time to reveal the billionaire donors flooding American elections with potent dark money. I’m introducing the DISCLOSE Act with Senator Whitehouse and Rep. Pappas to make our money-drenched elections more transparent for all citizens.
Gross. 🤮
Idiot president
Not for nothing, but here’s the difference between men’s sports and women’s sports: There’s no fucking way female figure skaters, hockey team or any other women’s sport would be palling around with this monster.
The unfit mother? Yes, this seems to be the same child. 💔😠
It is very troubling that the insane elderly person babbling on my TV right now is in charge of this country.
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Unless there's some sort of semicolon emergency, this is my sole issue of the day.
But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said. Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.
Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”
welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up
This has to be watched to be gotten.
I don't know how a person of faith can watch the president's "speech" at the National Prayer Breakfast and come away with an ounce of respect for this nasty madman.
What an abomination to the witness of the Church. 😢
A teacher who is showing her students that when they engage with something on their own terms instead of outsourcing their thoughts to a machine, they understand it more fully AND see that they don’t even NEED AI’s help. You can tell her students are more confident and critical as a result.
Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
By all accounts, Alex Pretti was an incredible, incredibly brave man. It appears he was the very best of humanity personified.
But even if he wasn’t,
If he was the world’s most giant POS:
He didn’t deserve to be executed.
ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.
When will you and other Democratic Senators recognize that you actively enable this lethality and lawlessness by continuing to confirm Trump nominees and behaving as if Republicans care a damn bit about bipartisanship? "ICE out of Minnesota NOW?" That's your best response? Nowhere near enough!
Presumably Democratic senators previously inclined to vote to fund more of this when it hits the floor understand that nobody will accept your justification no matter how well your comms person is at writing statements?
Yes. This.
Some of us took WWJD more seriously than others.
Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress approve of what the President is doing.
