So true. Even the T-shirts sucked in the 80s.
Face it, you don't have nostalgia for Decade X, you have nostalgia for the fashions and music of Decade X. And nobody stopping you from listening to that music or cosplaying in vintage Decade X clothes. Cripes, I do that myself, and I still carry an iPhone in my pocket
Solid WaPo editorial: "In the long run, tariffs don’t hurt American consumers because they cause inflation or tank the stock market; they hurt because they make it harder for people to get the things they want." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
12 hours ago, the Justice Dept was supposed to be prepping to prosecute Obama and his natsec team for treason—presumably one of the biggest endeavors in DOJ history. What happened to that? x.com/DAGToddBlanche…
Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.
It’s genuinely hilarious, and sort of perfectly fitting, that MAHA neuroticism about food chemicals combined with Trumpist love of trash food is cashing out in dietary wins like “now your 3,000 calorie Bloomin Onion is made with beef tallow!” and “Apple Jacks still have enough…
Froot Loops is finally following its nose — toward common sense. Thanks to the many parents who spoke out and pressured @KelloggsUS to remove harmful food dyes from its products. I urge more companies to step up and join the movement to Make America Healthy Again.

Trump has signed legislation cumulatively adding $13 trillion in debt in his 4.5 years as president - dwarfing every other president in our lifetime. Give me a break.
This guy has already made nearly $30k on his fundraiser and will probably be offered a book deal, speaking tour, and podcast deal with some far-right media company. I don't feel bad for him, and don't care about him. These grifts always end up the same.
“See you don’t get it. I follow Carl Schmitt. There’s this thing called the friend-enemy distinction. Maybe you’ve heard of it? Wait my enemies just fired me? Come on guys! Whatever happened to free speech and all those liberal values we hold dear? What’s the world coming to?”
Toyota is up +8% on the news of a 15% tariff. Why? It's simple. Ford, GM, Tesla, and all the other American manufacturers are going to be paying 50% more for their steel, 50% more for their copper, 25% more for their Canadian production, 25% more for their Mexican production,…
Gal Abdush was murdered by Hamas on October 7th. Gal was beaten, tortured, raped, shot, and burned alive before she was executed in front of her husband, and then Hamas brutally murdered him as well. She left behind two young sons. Don't you dare forget why Israel is at war.
And this: "Tariffs quietly chip away at the economic freedoms that American consumers have, for so long, taken for granted: to choose what they want to buy and to get good value for their money, unencumbered by state favoritism about where their goods come from." 🔥
Looking forward to Republicans cheering this massive corporate tax hike. 🙄

MAGA loudmouth Matt Walsh says Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) should "go back to Cuba. Salazar was born in Miami. mediamatters.org/daily-wire/dai…
South Park has flamed Trump over the years and Paramount is giving the show’s creators $1.5 BILLION because they’re actually funny.
Paramount has struck a 5-year deal worth $1.5B with 'South Park' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone 💰 They’ll produce 10 new episodes per year (via @latimes)
This sort of thing is apparently how we make America great again.
"Daddy, police!"—ICE shatter window to arrest father outside child’s school. "Yeah, that’s police," he comforted his child before pleading with agents. "There is a baby in the car. Is it hard to wait for three minutes?" Agent breaks car window at 1:16 into video to drag man…
While we're on the subject of transparency, why hasn't Trump released the proof that Obama was born in Kenya? (Hint: same reason he hasn't released the "Epstein client list.")
Wow. This is insane. How did we let these wack-job cultists take over our professional organizations?
Nurses in Canada now have to denounce “white, European-centric” medicine as part of their professional ethics obligations. The Canadian Nurses Association 2025 Code of Ethics is a far-left loyalty oath, not a guide for healthcare professionals! junonews.com/p/new-ethics-c…
