Looks like it's shaping up to be THE dumbest cabinet in American history. #TrumpCabinet

A bit of good news

“In 1984, after Reagan romped to victory with 59 percent of the popular vote and 525 electoral votes, Reaganism was universally declared an unstoppable juggernaut. But only two years later, in the 1986 midterms, Democrats proved the pundits wrong: they regained control of both the House and Senate for the first time since 1980. Those majorities enabled them to slam the brakes on Ronnie’s right-wing agenda, block the Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork, and investigate Iran-Contra. The lesson of the 1986 midterms is clear: the game’s far from over and there’s everything to play for. If we want to stem the tide of autocracy and kleptocracy, restore women’s rights and protect the most vulnerable, we don’t have the luxury of despair. The work starts now.” — @BorowitzReport

Before it’s too late to make history transparent and to Trump-proof the past from erasure, Jack Smith and Merrick Garland — yes, that guy — can yet perform a great public service by going fully public:

Wow. I just turned off the SNL monologue. Offensive. #snl

so according to the constitutional scholars at MAGA University, Kamala Harris can just refuse to certify the election, do I have that right

My heart is full today—full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve.

From Rebecca Solnit: “They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.  You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what, and right now good friends and good principles are worth gathering in. Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love. The Wobblies used to say don't mourn, organize, but you can do both at once and you don't have to organize right away in this moment of furious mourning.
You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward. A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary. Gather up your resources, the metaphysical ones that are heart and soul and care, as well as the practical ones.
People kept the faith in the dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s, in the East Bloc countries and the USSR, women are protesting right now in Iran and people there are writing poetry. There is no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it's sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.”

Not too sure that Republicans going from calling Puerto Ricans garbage to calling a woman garbage is the whiz-bang political chess move they think it is

Musk's version of efficiency has long-relied on safety violations and other worker exploitation. And Trump wants to put this particular immigrant in charge of gov't efficiency! rollingstone.com/politics/po…

RFK Jr., who has supported a national abortion ban, says Trump “will fight like hell” to give him the control he wants over women’s health care: “He’s assured me that I’m going to have that”

I'm Mark Hamala & I approve this SNL cold open. 👍🤣
