It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.
“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Apologies, customer. #Downballot is experiencing technical difficulties tonight and has been rescheduled for our old school time slot of 7:30pm PT this Friday. More updates to come. Stay golden! #AllDerpIsLocal
The great thing about middle age, for me, is that I have a lot more time to be creative, solo & with others, about how to help those who may need help and how to mess with terrible people. I got the time, baybee! Never underestimate middle aged people with zero fucks left to give.
A few things about MN:
George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis PD.
Renée Good and Alex Pretti were murdered by ICE on the streets of Minneapolis.
All three murders were captured on video – clear as day.
There is no difference. Cowboys will be cowboys.
And our freedom is not free.
Also kittens for all children. But only the white ones. The children, I mean.
The Good Wife and I are feeling this. Hard. #DadVibes
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)
Back to the grind grind grind. Is Mayor ED-209 running for Governor? Is Mayor ED-210 coming for your mentally ill neighbors? Tune in LIVE at 7:30 PT and find out! #Downballot #AllDerpIsLocal #SanJose #SanFrancisco #Oakland #BayArea #California www.echoplexmedia.com/calendar/202...
Welcome to 2026, where the derp just keeps getting derpier. We about to be live on #Downballot. Come see 'bout dat: www.echoplexmedia.com/calendar/202... #AllDerpIsLocal #SanJose #SanFrancisco #Oakland #BayArea
I don't think a lot of people read the administration's national security strategy document but it was essentially an effort to shoehorn Trump's contradictory and unfocused desires into a cohesive worldview.

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufallo’s career is the political stuff.
okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."
In every Trump action there’s always a tell—a clear sign the entire scheme is a lie—and journalists are *supposed* to be looking for it. The mausoleum strike, if confirmed, is that tell: the proof this strike was just about an angry sociopath abusing our troops for personal gain.
The editorial adverb
If you come for the Bad Baby's preschool, The Good Wife and I will end you. Period. #zerotolerance
Right now the US position is literally that Trump cannot be held to account in our own courts but can be unilaterally surrendered by his powerless domestic opposition to be held to account in any other nation that wants to do it, and I say we take him up on it
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, to learn Trump is a hypocrite and Republicans in Congress have no ganas. If only there had been an election to give us another option... Oh, but Kamala Harris has a funny laugh.
Our democracy isn't broken. We are.
