I think it was Tom Wolfe who said that the House is, by and large, a herd of small-town lawyers and used car salesmen, all hoping for the chance to become news personalities and corporate lobbyists. It's hardly an environment conducive to thought or welcoming to genius.

Mike Johnson tried to blur the truth to save criminals—and it backfired. Excellent.

I'm going on a little rant. I see so many of these upper class influencers act like the reason that everyone doesn't have it all is because they just aren't working hard enough. Most people work ridiculously hard just to survive, and they just don't have time to work on their dreams or whatever side hustle they are supposed to be doing too, because Capitalism doesn't see the value in rest. Most of these Influencers are coming from a place of privilege anyway, they aren't doing their own laundry, cleaning their house, doing their bills, fixing their food, caring full time for their children or parents, or the other hundreds of little chores and annoyances that make up every day life. That's a full time job by itself that most people are doing on top of a full or part time job. If most people had that taken off their plate then sure they'd have time to "hustle" and "grind" on some kind of project that was just about their dreams. And it makes us feel guilty that we aren't doing enough, because our house wasn't clean enough, or you didn't get a workout in, or dinner was frozen, or you didn't get to take the kids to wherever. Listen friend, it's ok, you're allowed to order a pizza and veg out in front of a couple of reruns of Castle, or take a couple hours to read and have a cuppa, or scroll Mastodon in the bath. It's good enough to just make it through the day sometimes and you deserve rest and relaxation. Don't let someone who got incredibly lucky tell you otherwise.

Donald Trump just doesn't know how to let sleeping dogs lie. As he continues to expound on his 2024 campaign promises (that nobody asked for), one adversary keeps coming up: Barack Obama. He can't seem to stop mentioning him at every turn, including mixing up Biden and Obama's names when discussing the current sitting President. Is he just confused, or does this point to something more sinister? That's what we're discussing today at The Big Picture. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

Good morning. Folks ask me why I’m so passionate and angry about politics and our shaky future.

My answer: My daughter, my grandchildren and my wife.

This is how Al Azhar University of #Gaza looked before and after #Israel's genocidal attack on the #GazaStrip


Israel claiming that the war is against Hamas. But they keep attacking schools, civilians, hospitals, reporters and universities.

This is a war to make Gaza uninhabitable. To force people to ml d out of Gaza to other countries.

This is ethnic cleansing.

This is genocide.

Silence is compliance.

Urgent #WarOnChristmas news bulletin.

A galling sneak attack! Enemy forces violated the armistice agreement and snuck in through gaps in the defensive line.

In a shameful act of appeasement, the aggressor was convinced to give up territory gains in exchange for treats.

The gaps in the Maginohoho Line have been completely sealed and is now believed to be impregnable... or is it? Only time will tell. May Santa have mercy on our souls and to all a good night.

Kyrsten Sinema voted with Senate Republicans to kill President Joe Biden's student debt forgiveness proposal.

Soon after that vote she raked in thousands of💲from donors connected to student loan servicers, for-profit colleges, banks and debt collectors after her vote.

Time and time again, Kyrsten Sinema put her own interests ahead of getting things done for the people.

Sinema - is pro-Sinema. She doesn’t give a damn about the people she is supposed to represent.

So Trump is now inciting violence against poll workers and voters.

He knows his more fanatical followers will hear his comments as a call to arms and in open carry states that will be very literal.

It’s so fucking dangerous. And he fucking knows it.
