Marjorie Taylor Green has been in Congress since 2020 and is resigning as of Jan 5, 2026. And I just want to point out one thing.

She spent 5 years in Congress attacking the left—and never feared for her life or safety to any level that would make her resign.

She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing the MAGA right and the backlash was so severe she is resigning.

5 years of antagonizing the left resulted in no action. 5 weeks of criticizing the right resulted in resignation.

That says it all.

it rocks that Clive Palmer has reportedly spent $250 million over the past three elections to elect a single senator who has been 100% ineffectual in parliament and just spends his time posting stuff like this lmao.

Trump is shutting out European movies from the US market by putting a 100 percent tariff on them.

Put a 100 percent tariff on US streaming services, and let us see if Trump still has the support of Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon Prime.

Some instant classics here from @JB: https://aliensideboob.substack.com/p/this-is-why-we-can-have-nice-things

“you can’t win those seats if you campaign as a fascist nut job who wants to take a long hot bath in nuclear waste and racism.”

“like the Godzilla vs King Kong match-up of this election, but only if the lizard and the big ape were tiny figurines carved from rancid tins of spam, fighting it out in a burning toilet.”

“I might have been wrong about the importance of policy. Peter Dutton certainly was.

You can’t just get elected on vibes. Then again Bill Shorten may disagree.”

This is why we can have nice things.

Paul Krugman:
“Did I see this coming? No, not really. Unlike the sanewashers, I knew that Trump’s policies would be irresponsible & destructive. However, even I didn’t expect him to destroy credibility accumulated over 80 years in less than three months. But he has. And even if Trump were to backtrack on everything he’s done, we wouldn’t get the lost credibility back. The whole world…now knows that America is run by a mad king, surrounded by enablers, who can’t be trusted to behave rationally.”
Donold thinks he’s just like shirtless Putin on a horse when really he’s the horse.
Seems like a great time to bulldoze Pine Gap.
