If we’re gonna keep doing this dumb time change thing, there should be a law allowing all employees to take an afternoon catnap for the week following.

I see Cory Booker is running for president again. Honestly that’s the only excuse for his latest proposal.

You know those signs at every gas station “explaining” that gas prices are high because of taxes? I wonder if there will be an addendum about moronic presidents starting wars in the Middle East. Guessing not.

This dude gave the most strident, partisan, red meat speeches on the Assembly Floor but is now apparently decrying partisanship. So yeah. lol.

LOL

As a proud Californian, even I must concede that New Mexico has the best clouds.

move slow and repair things

Not great when official government statements are less restrained and connected to reality than those from the repressive theocratic autocracy we are at war with.

Please tell me that the weird war secretary with the weird American flag pocket square did not actually call this a “Christian nation” today. Please tell me the screenshot being circulated is Bluesky rage bait. Because I really can’t with that nonsense.

I really wish I could spell.

I hope that puppy is looking down from puppy heaven and enjoying this revenge.

I gotta give him credit for one single thing - firing someone via tweet (while they are giving a speech) is a masterclass in pettiness.

Trump has left us with two terrible options:

1) Commit massive human and capital treasure to try to change Iran’s regime, with no guarantee of success: or,

2) We leave in place a further radicalized regime even more dedicated to acquiring nuclear weapons as a deterrent.

Am I missing something?

Not sure what’s going on but the traffic in Sacramento this week has been positively LAish.

This reboot has everything!! Promises of a charismatic leading man (again), shifting demographics, and a deeply flawed opponent! And don’t forget the national tailwinds. But will he finally get the girl? Invest all your national political resources to find out!

The perennial loose dentures vs cognitive decline vs TIA debate. A tale as old as time.

I’ve watched the “Texas is in play” movie too many times. Not buying another ticket.

Sorry, what now?

Why is Trump constantly doing the bidding of the most corrupt leaders on earth? Oh, never mind. Rhetorical question.

I wonder if the power and titles are worth the moral and intellectual debasement.

Can someone explain to me why he thinks he can unilaterally dictate when this war is over (e.g., 4-5 weeks)?

I’m pretty sure Iran will have a vote in this.

If you like it, you want it in budget. If you don’t, you suddenly want the thorough vetting of policy. A tale as old as time.

Maybe we should’ve let him continue playing with the tariff adjustment machine. At least it kept him busy.

I am sure Trump asked second and third order questions and thought this through with the intellectual rigor and nuance for which he is known.

So, we’re just gonna take out a foreign leader a month at this rate?

This is like 75% about improving his poll numbers before the midterms, right? Maybe 25% about advancing the pet projects of his hardline advisors. 0% about principle or actually caring about democracy. I could be wrong but that’s my intuitive sense.

Trump calling for regime change in an unhinged warmongering screed. So full scale war.

God help us all.

What in God’s name are we doing?
