Lover of tacos, raccoons, tacos for raccoons, and Strongbow. But not raccoon tacos, that'd just be wrong.

@dailykos Oh, he'll punch right through that barrel bottom and start digging.

@PpollingNumbers You could have saved some by not going to Publix. 😅

@TheRickWilson If things get bad enough that enough of the Trump lackeys and fools in the Cabinet will swing to Vance and support a 25thA move, Vance won't hesitate.

@WhiteHouse Unemployment highest since end of pandemic. Inflation going back up. No progress in peace talks in Ukraine or Israel/Palestine. Business investment down because of random changes in tariffs weekly. US dollar down.

But lots of golf played and tacky gold crap in Oval Office.

Trump's ankles have become so thick and slow he's named them Eric and Don Jr

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, my name must be Sen. Murkowski.

@gtconway3d I wasn't entirely paying attention for a minute and read that as "...from Yukon."

But with Trump, that works too.

This raises a thorny legal question: Palestine Action is proscribed, but can it be illegal to protest against the ban rather than in support of the organization? Or protesting the ban on protesting the ban?

In free-speech terms, how far can banning an organization go?

@JonahDispatch The Dingo looks remarkably calm, though. Hope all goes well.

@GOP I never thought we'd see Republicans celebrate tax increases. Reagan is spinning in his grave.

I love this image because:

It's from the 1950s—a time period racist far-right types love to idealize—but it's promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

It's *truly* inclusive, and marries those values with a sense of American patriotism that far-left types hate.

@thedispatch Pickleball, although I admit to a completely irrational hatred of the name.

@cobracommandr15 That's because he wants to be the guy people sell out to.

It’s hard for me to express what a loser and moron I think you’d have to be take this dude seriously, never mind admire him.

@RepNancyMace Shouldn't Congress be more worried about the current occupant of the White House than his predecessor?

@SkyNews Something else we can thank Tony Blair for, deciding to go with STOVL operations for the Queen Elizabeth-class carriers instead of CATOBAR and thus locking the RN into the F-35, with the RAF following. Nice work, Tony, you absolute prat. And you too, Cameron.

@BobGOYA1 This is, of course, absolutely false.

@SkyNews ...tax rise, it's likely to just be an increase on marginal income tax rates and/or a tax on transactions in listed securities. Taxing flows of money is much easier mechanically than taxing "stocks" of assets and can be done quickly.

[Craig DeBlock @cdeblock]

@SkyNews He didn't rule it out, but it's unlikely to be coming anytime soon. Setting up a "wealth tax" would require definitions of valuation (a lot of "wealth" isn't in the form of publicly-traded securities) and creation of reporting and enforcement mechanisms.
