It’s Official: Trump Is Putin’s Mouthpiece
“Bloomberg used a Large Language Model to scan more than 300 of Trump’s public comments between August 2024 and mid-March as well as more than 3,000 social media posts from the president and members of his administration since the start of 2025. The technique allows for comparing meaning across large volumes of text, even if the specific wording differs. … The results showed a correlation between Trump administration contacts with Putin and subsequent comments that echoed the Russian leader’s own positions.”
Counting the Days
We’ve just reached the end of Trump’s first hundred days.
His chaos has infected the world in horrifying ways.
Gutting government, alarming allies, starting trade wars,
Is just the launch of Project 2025 — it will get worse.
So we’ve started counting down to Donald Trump’s LAST hundred days.
Trump’s Disapproval Rating Soars

Susan Rice: Hegseth Is ‘Dumb as a Rock’
“Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as secretary of Defense. That’s apparently what we’ve learned from this episode.”

Trump’s Chump Seats
It’s the Pope’s funeral, so Trump’s gotta go.
It wouldn’t be like him to miss such a show.

Because of arcane Vatican protocol
Trump might find himself seated in the back row.
Trump Meme Coin Brings in $100 Million for the Grifter-in-Chief
$100 million
“Buyers have poured tens of millions of dollars into President Donald Trump’s meme coin since his team advertised Wednesday that top purchasers could join Trump for an ‘intimate private dinner’ next month,” the Washington Post reports. “Nearly two dozen crypto wallets acquired more than 100,000 $TRUMP meme coins, worth roughly $100 million.”
It’s the Stupid, Stupid
“Yes, Trump and his accomplices are malicious. Yes, they’re corrupt. Yes, they’re dangerous. But they’re also profoundly stupid, and their stupidity is hurting or worrying a lot of people who voted for Trump. … So here’s my pitch: To break Trump’s coalition and reclaim our government, we need to talk not just about the administration’s corruption and its abuse of power, but about its pervasive incompetence.”

No Town in Town Hall
Representative Nancy Mace is nothing if not a clown.
She’s dumb and mean but good at fifth-grade put-downs.
To ensure her constituent immunity
She held a town hall in a gated community.
Can it really be called a “town hall” without the town?
