These fascist dipshits keep claiming there is all kinds of violence in Los Angeles right now. At this very moment, even! Weirdly, every single local channel is running regular programming, instead of this BREAKING NEWS EVENT. It's like ... it's like the dipshits are lying, or something. Weird.

You can’t trust a news agency that doesn’t have its reporters’ backs. You have to assume they’re meddling with coverage of the admin in other ways. ABC is toast.

The two universal pundit truths are that (1) you have a civic obligation to let random freaks hurl racism and abuse at you for the sake of "discourse" and (2) you must never be rude to pundits themselves because they are more important than you and don't have to put up with that.

Almost verbatim, unbelievable

President Trump stumbles while attempting to board Air Force One

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Given the news—both what we're seeing in the streets and Stephen Miller saying the anti-ICE protesters are engaging in an "insurrection"—let me re-up this article from last year about why the Insurrection Act is even more dangerous than you might think. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-insu...

If confirmed, this would represent a version of Charlottesville, but where government officials are the ones driving into protestors

This stuff really pisses off vets.

Probably his best post ever. Concise, good visuals.

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

So... according to Greenblatt, Elon doing the Nazi salute wasn't so bad. But students protesting... What a fucking disaster the ADL is. What a joke.

The MAGA civil war just hit the Alex Jones vs. Catturd phase. 🍿

In Brands news, Smithfield Foods welcomed their summer interns with a song called "Fuck Me Baby"

This is not a denial

This is the best day ever to be in a group chat with people who aren’t online. They react to every piece of breaking news about the beef like you’re Paul Revere.

What a great, _great_ day to be someone who doesn't own any Tesla stock. Possibly a great week or month.

Important questions are being asked.

This is a good point, and I need to think about the fallout from these two pissy babies tantruming at each other. It's funny, certainly, but the ramifications could be very serious for a lot of reasons. Those faces are getting eaten by leopards pretty voraciously right now.

I never, ever want to hear again that women are too emotional to be leaders.

If you had told me the bitchiest moment of Pride Month would be this...

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Elon Musk, amid a quickly escalating feud with President Trump, announces SpaceX will immediately begin decommissioning Dragon spacecraft, imperiling the administration's ability to shuttle astronauts and cargo back between the ISS and Earth.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

Trump keeps using Mafia-like threats to get firms "not to publicly attribute price hikes to tariffs." When Mattel's CEO talked of this, he responded: “We’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States... I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.”

Hegseth has kicked off Pride Month by stripping an LGBTQ activist’s name from a U.S. Navy ship.

When a sitting Senator can call for the bombing of a peaceful activist and NOTHING happens but a shrug... you know that the numbing effect of Trumpism has taken hold! Watch and Subscribe: www.youtube.com/live/M2AlZoP...

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

Social-media death threats directed last month to Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. were taken seriously, and they led to an "overseas" gambler who claims he was "frustrated and inebriated." www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

On camera assaulting a woman , but he's a cop so we'll make it a misdemeanor

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

Another Putin lover having a bad day.

When you don’t understand how anything works then everything is a conspiracy

Takes a lot of chutzpah to make a $290 million political donation, assume a powerful position in government, use that power to fire tens of thousands of people and do immeasurable harm to American state capacity, and expect not to have to answer for it afterwards.

Ah, but Sen. Ernst, we don’t want people to die before they’re supposed to. Or perhaps you do?

Lightning in Oklahoma

Trump melts down over recent court losses, attacking the Federalist Society, pushing junk legal theories on tariffs, and demanding millions from CBS for “emotional distress.” Legal AF breaks down this and more at 8p ET/5p PT!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

❗️OKLAHOMA STATE SENATORS slam Governor Stitt's comments ahead of their vote to oust Mental Health Commissioner Allie Friesen. "If you can't win your argument on principle... and you have to start cutting down members... accusing members' family members, you've lost the argument." #oklahoma
