If you're in medical research or delivery & being affected by the Trump funding suspension, I'd like to talk with you, for a story like this one I wrote for @washingtonpost. Just DM me.

@realDonaldTrump's second s--t show pulled just 26 million TV viewers, most of them on the fake news @FoxNews. Biden's inauguration drew 40 million.

Just another day @Fidelity declines to release funds it acknowledges having received on December 26--9 days ago.

Musk hands a sleazy politician $260 million & turns a quick $200 BILLION profit. When is #SCOTUS going to admit that its Citizens United decision was a catastrophic blow to democracy?

The Model #Republican office holder. You can see why what's his name wanted him for #AttorneyGeneral.

A tale of suddenly discovering, one day in mid-December, that the Christmas lights, the tarnished ornaments, the Mele Kalikimaka CD, & the tree skirt were all locked away, out of reach, in storage. 🌿 (Illustration by Jeff Seaver)

Because "45" & "the former guy" no longer work, may I propose we refer to him henceforth as "The Un-American," based on his beliefs and behaviors?
