The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

The paint is PEELING. This is a reminder: everything Trump touches turns to shit.

The guy who bankrupted casinos decided to improve the Reflecting Pool with our money. Things are going about as well as I expected.

@beckyhammon.bsky.social Hey dingbat. Proven so wrong about JB. You owe the man an apology. However, as he so stated, he need not provide the naysayers a response. The expression is NOT “brass taxes.” It’s BRASS TACKS. I mean don’t use idioms if you don’t know WTF they are. You’re dismissed.

The US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined. It's about to get bigger. There have been recent reports that the Pentagon doesn't even know how to spend the funds. This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

The cruelty and inhumanity of this Administration’s policies have left another person dead—as CBP dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee living in Buffalo NY, alone on a cold winter night miles from his home. This cruelty must end.

Kamala Harris: When this guy is talking about the economy is roaring… Who’s it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid? You know what Medicaid funds? Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people

Palate cleanse. Good things: Husband finally replaced his LX570 w 288k miles (still in great shape, BUT) with a newer one. It’s purrrrty! Bonus: NO LOAN. My girl: training to lower delivery or strangers coming on our property is going WELL. I’ve learned how to lower her energy!

The daily news is so horrific, I’ve actually limited my consumption. I was busy (very) hosting fam & friends for nearly a month. Now? I’m hanging out w AudreyAnn and pretending that nothing outside my home exists. Audrey Ann (sits like a human) & me discussing the disgusting events.

Dear Non-Cult Americans, Are you tired of the daily drama, corruption, manic insanity, malignant narcissism, obnoxious and boorish behavior, and illegalities? We’ve been dealing with this for 10 years. The only hope we have is to vote as many of these bastards out as possible.

With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congress—and the country—are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time. It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!
