It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

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.”

“The #Patriots haven’t played any good teams all season!”

Patriots then beat the 11-6 #chargers in a playoff game…

“But the Chargers are a horrible 11-6 team!” is what sports talk radio will bitch about for the next 7 days.

“I didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, so I’ll invade Venezuela” isn’t the flex he thinks it is.

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment.

The next time someone says "well, you say stuff from a position of privilege, but us ordinary people have to watch what we say because they'll come after us."

Uh huh.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

had a conversation with a prominent pundit recently who did not seem to realize that the departments of the executive branch are congressional creations, so not surprised at this

Chess Stories: Bobby Fischer, Garry Kasparov, Magnus Carlsen and more | 60 Minutes Full Episodes YouTube video by 60 Minutes

Stumbled on this amazing 60 Minutes segment from 2007, about the world champion chess player and dissident, Garry Kasparov. Crazy to see how Putin was portrayed then, and even more crazy to compare 2007 Russia to 2025 USA. Segment begins around 25:00 in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTQZ...

When Laura Ingraham was a student at Dartmouth, she attended a meeting of the Gay Student Union and wrote down the names of the attendees, which she then published in the student newspaper. This was a time when it was very dangerous to be outed as gay. She is a dispicable, vile person.

MAGA World Is So Close to Getting It Gavin Newsom’s parodies are riling people up—and they don’t quite seem to understand why.

For years, MAGA partisans have employed various tactics to prevent the imminent pain of cognitive dissonance. Now Newsom is forcing them to see what Trump looks like without the distorting force field created by Trump’s showmanship:

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
