I’m not loving the permanent daylight savings legislation. As a morning person living in the Pacific Northwest I’m not thrilled at the prospect of it being dark and dreary till 9 AM all winter, every winter from here on out. Sigh.

Trump goes to MSNBC to talk Melania and Epstein? That’s a choice. 🧐 Guess Fox & Friends isn't allowed to say "Epstein" on air, or maybe they just don't want their viewers asking questions?

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”. ICE shot him 3 times and killed him. Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”. Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?” These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors. Abolish ICE

Former Prince Andrew’s arrest will only intensify calls for accountability. Maybe that’s why this administration is shielding evidence, because once the first domino tips, they all start falling. And when they do, everyone tied to Epstein’s orbit goes down. It won’t stop with just one name.

Just when you think this horror show has exhausted its capacity for depravity, it descends even further, more deplorable, more horrifying than you could imagine.

Swing and a miss for Judge Jeanine. Prosecutor Steven Vandervelden failed to persuade even one grand juror to pursue charges against the “Democrats for the video. I wonder why?

All those late-night and awards-show jokes that treated Leonardo DiCaprio’s preference for dating much younger women as a punchline are going to hit very differently from here on out. Just sayin’.

One would think that Trump, who has taken much ridicule for his supposedly mushroom shaped equipment would’ve wanted to redact the email referencing Bill Clinton being “hung like a horse“ in the latest Epstein file drop.

I’ve loved Molly Ringwald since her John Hughes days, and in the ’90s when I waited tables, when she popped in for a bite the chef messed up her order, and she still left a 100% tip, smiling and telling me my day would get better. Still an absolute class act. thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

thehill.comMolly Ringwald: ‘ICE is brutalizing people’Actor Molly Ringwald condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for “brutalizing people” after the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. “There’s something horrible, horrible going on in…

I can’t believe I’m quoting Charlie Kirk to make a point in 2026. But here we are. “The second amendment is not for hunting, it is not for self protection, it is there to ensure that free people can defend themselves if god forbid government became tyrannical and turned against its citizens”

Kristi Noem debuted a new face on Fox last night. I can’t wait until she inflates her lips to the point where a straw becomes her only viable eating utensil.

This seems relevant…

Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)@portlandken.bsky.social

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

It’s probably just an editorial mistake with the identification caption but I’m pretty sure the two ladies on the right have been mistakenly labeled as Merry and Christmas, when in fact they are also Ho’s.

Brigitte Bardot? I can respect her animal advocacy without excusing the fact that she spent decades demonstrating cruelty, bigotry, and contempt for other people. Being right about animals doesn’t redeem a lifetime of being wrong about humanity.

When you factor in Barr’s behind-the-scenes role, the missing video, Trump’s persistent obfuscation, the leverage we now know Epstein possessed, Bondi’s lack of credibility, and the striking absence of transparency in the file release, it might be time to seriously revisit the “suicide” narrative.

People online; Leavitt, 28 who is described as the Trump administration's "mouthpiece" by Vanity Fair, was photographed upclose for a portrait in which apparent lip filler injection sites were clearly visible. The image sparked near-immediate disbelief online, with one commenter writing, "jumpscare"

Trump has lost Alex Jones. This is quite something. "Yeah, why does Trump think the drug addict son that they've had major problems with did this because Rob Reiner said,,,It's like, talk about narcissism. It's literally, it's literally Trump saying, 'Oh, you talk bad about me, you die.'"

The implications of the DOJ trying Tyler Robinson on charges of anti Christianity bias are vast. Equating Christian views with anti trans views are appalling and should be concerning to all because if they get away with this, who’s next? It will be anyone who disagrees with their beliefs. Anyone.

As a gay teenager in the 80s, I witnessed firsthand how right-wing politicians and evangelical leaders used disinformation to demonize people during the AIDS crisis. What we’re seeing today feels like those same tactics revived like muscle memory relying on the same familiar smears for anyone other.

It would be nice if the media would push back a bit when Trump’s surrogates continually repeat misinformation regarding the misnomer “no tax on tips” or “no tax on SSI,” they are trying to convince us of while tying themselves in knots defending the largest upward transfer of wealth since Reagan.

Well gosh, tourism was extremely profitable and fun while it lasted. My condolences to Hawaii, Orlando, Miami, New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles for Trumps unbelievably Orwellian fuckery.

As Trump keeps slipping off his game, don’t be lulled into thinking that’s a good thing, it’s not. An eager and sidelined JD is waiting in the wings with a Trump sized chip on his shoulder ready to pick our pockets and Thiel everything he can from us. The Trump grift is now a roadmap to riches.

Good news, everyone! Secretary of State Mark Rubio has heroically crushed the threat of the “woke” Calibri font. And to think this is the same guy in charge of elections, diplomacy, and international relations. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never felt safer. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

theguardian.comFont of ‘wasteful’ diversity: Trump’s state department orders return to Times New RomanA cable from Marco Rubio reportedly said cutting Calibri from official communication would ‘abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program’

This sums up not only our current government but also much of the media ecosystem covering our government right now. We are broken.
