Get Your Dunkin' Friday

 The amount of shit we're going to have to clean up after this administration is out will be indefinite. Cases of  cyclosporiasis are rising in Illinois , and now both of our girls are home sick. We're hoping it's not this. We're hoping it's just a bug. We hope that as parents, our government would look for these kinds of things, but what do you know, MAHA ! If I didn't know better, I'd think our government is trying to kill us all.  Here are your highlights:   Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE . ICE has a pattern of excuses.  Meta, you in trouble. EU says Meta breaches laws with addictive apps .  One of Spain's deadliest wildfires takes the lives of 12 people . Despite what Republicans say, Climate Change is here, and boy, are we ill-prepared. Even more are missing; these types of tragedies were avoidable.  Happy Yellow Peril is back today! Marsha Blackburn makes a racist ad about China .  ICE in Washington State . They have quotas. Get ...

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

The twenty-four-hour news cycle needs only two things to keep the juices flowing: a political scandal or a missing plane. If they get stale, they'll throw in a missing white girl , likely on Spring Break or on a vacation. It was, at a time, CNN's bread and butter. Today, when I read about Nolan Wells and his unfortunate passing, I think about how often the media rarely even mention a missing black or brown person's name. It doesn't get non-stop coverage, it doesn't get 60-Minute specials or investigative NBC stories. It's local, and that's about it. And if there's a death, as in Nolan Wells' case, we never find out the truth.  Information for the family's GoFundMe can be found in the linked article.  Here are your highlights:   DHS is spending $1.5 billion on more ICE prisons  and less oversight.  Platner indignantly suspends his campaign . Bye, jerk! Epstein files back in the news. The victims claim an Epstein aide lied to Congress .  The AI re...

Welp, the Platner "situation" has become even worse. And he seems to think he can still stay in the race? The allegations are damning; the stain on Maine is damning; the podbros doubling down on Platner are embarrassing. Even St. Bernard says Platner should drop out. It's a mess; the longer it draws out, the messier it gets. Maine needs to get it together fast. I'm not hopeful they will.  Here are your highlights:  Heat waves cause economic damage .  "More pregnant teens!" seems like an odd campaign slogan, but alas, we have the Trump administration .  Gov. Beshear wants to know if McConnell is dead .  No, the American History Museum isn't woke .  What is Farage up to? Grifting .  Did China avoid a crash? Interesting thoughts on how China runs its economy . One thing I will add is that I feel China "cooking the books" is a given.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 I've been away on holiday, and then one of the kiddos got sick. I'd like to say she was sick and tired of Trump meddling in things like the World Cup, but alas, she has a bug. I'd love to wax poetic about the USMNT's lousy performance last night... for what, though? Clearly, Trump's meddling put extra pressure on the team, and the nerves got to them. That's my takeaway. It was a good run. Last night wasn't good. The women still rule. America! Here are your highlights: Platner was never that guy; he needs to drop out. Maine has some work to do .  China launches a ballistic missile, causing regional concerns .  Shooting in Tennessee by the National Guard is under investigation .  The Save Our Bacon Act is suspect.  Oil prices rise as the war that was ended with Iran continues .  Mitch McConnell is likely being Weekend at Bernie'd .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 US-AAAAAAAAAAA! The USMNT did their thing last night...until a stupid red card by a clearly stupid ref. I'm still mad about it. One of our best players was given a red on something Messi didn't even get a warning about. It was a choice. I'm super excited for our squad. It was overall a good night. And I can't wait until the next game to sing with a bunch of American hooligans. Let's go! Here are your highlights: You know who provides healthcare: Haitians . Way to go, SCOTUS.  ICE arrested a nun .  US job growth slowed . Now, if Biden were president, the headlines would read differently.  The Great American State Fair is empty . And we're laughing.  Corruption, that's the point . Trump's sons make more money off defense contracts.  How to help those in Venezuela .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 Reform the Supreme Court . Pack the court. If you're a Democrat running for office and you don't mention court reform, I'm going to be suspicious of your motives. It's been clear for a while now that SCOTUS is compromised. Fox News, hell, maybe even Infowars, brained justices are running it. The fact that Birthright Citizenship was so close is terrifying. I can't emphasize this enough: we're in deep waters if we can't reform the court. All the alarm bells should be going off.  Here are your highlights: Democratic Socialist wins in Colorado .  The winner of Trump's war in the Middle East, China .  Europe prepares for more hospital visits as the heat rises .  Mike Johnson has to be the worst Speaker in recent memory.   Private sector jobs grew by only 98,000 .  Mind you, Nick Fuentes is basically the mainstream Republican nowadays .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 It really must be something to be a Centrist. One election in New York, and you begin panicking, fanning yourself, and swearing the world is over cuz SoCIALism. It's New York. Also too, shut up. Democratic voters want change; they want to fight, and this idea that the squishy center is the answer is dead. Then you have folks with " Project 2029 " -- "kids over clicks" -- I have no words. If your first instinct is to ban social media and not prosecute this administration, you're not paying attention. Our democracy has been under attack for 18 months. What are you doing? What are you watching? Fuckin' A.  Here are your highlights: Sam Alito has Fox News brain . Tragic. Venezuelans deported by the US die in the earthquake . This administration has more blood on its hands.  Ford is recalling over 700,000 vehicles .  The Iran War still isn't over .  Fair play. The flop that is Trump's Freedom Fair, or whatever it's called .  America is turning 25...
