It’s always good news when the boss schedules a senior leadership meeting on short notice with no agenda.

The seasons change, but I am always anti-fascist.
I am not so naive, but one did hope that “if he can’t see it, it isn’t happening” would be limited to Trump’s tiny geographic orbit in DC and what he saw through the warping windows of The Beast. But no, whether its climate, people, labor numbers, or hunger, there will be no official seeing-of-it.
It’s grift all the way down for these clowns.
Hell, a Man Show era Jimmy Kimmel who also did blackface would be in the cabinet.
What appeared to be RFK Jr’s old 2024 presidential campaign bus was parked (illegally) outside the Pierce School condominiums in northeast DC on September 16. This location is also known for hosting a crypto party aligned with Trump’s inauguration and being a place Musk and other DOGE figures early in the administration. I have no other context, but found it weird to see. I found it vaguely notable that it happened between RFK Jr’s grilling before the Senate Finance Committee last week and his fired CDC director’s testimony before the Senate HELP Committee yesterday.
I’ve been thinking about the news lately. (That’s a true statement most days of the week, most weeks of the year.) I’ve been thinking about Jerry of Ben & Jerry’s quitting, because of speech restrictions from Unilever, Ben & Jerry’s parent company. I’ve been thinking about all the backlash on people who mostly either tried to counter the hagiography of Charlie Kirk or perhaps were venting less tactfully (I’ve been known to).
I think I remember when it seemed that a president would very likely and quickly get impeached for ordering a murder… but honestly, I’m not sure anymore.
The climate crisis, slow-roll-WWIII, no better than band-aids on the social safety net between axe swings at it, and a duopoly political system oscillating between making it all happen or doing nothing people actually need to stop it, and an economy teetering on realizing it.
Imagine, in terms of the kinds of things being cut in proposed House and Senate GOP budget bills, what we could pay for already (accepting ludicrous premises) if we just weren’t flying all those KC-135s and C-17s constantly at $20k+/hour/plane re: Israel/Iran. Or you know, the fucking parade.
