No cards you say You’ve been proved wrong Goliath has strength But it’s David who’s strong There’s a lesson we all Ought to take from #Ukraine Which is: don’t be in thrall To a bully’s campaign #istandwithukraine #poet

1/2 You can call it an ermine, a ferret, a stoat But a weasel is always just that #DanielWasserman claimed he had been a scapegoat Then he called #StephenMiller to chat

2/2 He stole 1000s of docs from the #Harvard Review Saying he was the best kind of witness Now he works at the WH that swampy milieu Clearly showing this weasel’s unfitness #HarvardLaw

Elon said he’d reduce The #WasteFraudAndAbuse And abundant misuse He deduced But his cosplaying Zeus Proved him cruel and obtuse And the goose was cut loose Now vamoose! #poetsofbluesky

Elon got what he came for Now he’s left DC Cause that thing with the #chainsaw Was just for TV It was data he stole Yours and mine I assume So the tool for his troll Should have been…a vacuum #politicalpoetry

They’re anti-elite Though they’re kings of that hill They think #Harvard is sweet Still, they’ve gone for the kill See, it’s free thought they hate Because those with a brain Can see through the gold plate To the rot of their reign #rhymesforthetimes

It’s a beautiful bill Up on Capitol Hill And they’re sure it’ll kill Once it goes through the mill It’s a skill to instill Such ill will in one bill All its swill makes me ill But Trump’s toadies—they’re thrilled #bigbeautifulbill

#HabeasCorpus Said #KristiNoem yesterday Lets the president send Anybody away But she’s lying of course It protects liberty See, she’s trying to make us Less brave and not free #constitutionallaw

When Trump gets news he doesn’t like His strategy is clear Ignore, dispute, completely strike Then suddenly change gears That’s why we hear about #Springsteen And also #TaylorSwift Then all the journos quote that meme And give the truth short shrift #theboss @contrariannews.org

You see this plane It’s just a gift The country’s gain And def not grift Although he’ll take it When he goes Which might make it Theft, I suppose #qatargate #emoluments @raskin.house.gov

#Alcatraz Has some pizzazz Whereas Guantanamo Is just so-so Though Both will do For Trump & crew #politicalhumor #poetrycommunity #lockhimup

It’s a concept of a trade deal It’s a concept of a plan If you want something not real Trust this concept of a man He has a concept of the news A concept of a voting booth He has a concept of his own views But no concept of the truth #ustrade #tariffs #poetrycommunity

I make the law And so you see The law’s great flaw Is that it’s me Don’t make me pick What not to do Cause then I’ll sic The law on you #judiciaryunderattack #humor

The role of king With all its bling Is a great thing For me But also pope That’s kinda dope Saint Trump’s new trope You’ll see #trumpforpope #poetryinmotion #pope

My #mailman is a super guy American as apple pie But now #ICE needs a new ally So they’ve tapped him to be a spy #usps #politicalpoetry

#100days It’s quite the ride Let’s see the ways Trump’s horrified Revenge and greed The bad guys freed And graft and fraud And threats abroad Men yanked from streets Tanked balance sheets A gross game show And years to go #poetrycommunity #first100

Its the birthday Of #earthday So lets take stock Of the care We all dare Give our blue&green rock Trump says drilling Is thrilling & boy he ❤️ coal Chopping trees Is a breeze Not a stain on the soul Killing parks Is a lark & lets gut every rule Gold beats green Greed beats clean OMG what a fool

There’s nothing the #WhiteHouse Won’t milk for a buck They’ll sell bibles, Mel Knauss Elon’s truck Then they’ll sell off the rights To the Egg Roll and bunny And then they’ll sell our rights And rake in the money #eastereggroll #poetrylovers

Methinks that Alito and Thomas should see What it means to be stripped of rights and liberty They’re both guilty of crimes against humanity And the sooner they’re jailed—well, the better we’ll be #alienenemiesact #aclu #poetry

I don’t know what your fight song is Or who those are who sing it But hats off to the crimson wave We ❤️ that you’ve said “bring it” #harvard

They told us the #lawyers would keep us all safe But the lawyers it seems are the first ones to cave So when all this is over and kings turn to knaves Get a lawyer who’s upright and moral and brave Fire Kirkland and #Latham and Simpson and Paul #Willkie #Skadden #Cadwalader #Millbank et al

They're effective they're working There’s nothing to see Bessents over there smirking Greer’s shining with glee Close your eyes and Be cool Because they stand to win Theyll play us for the fool The cheats always cash in Making markets upheave Thats the card up their sleeve #trumptariffs #tradewar

I’m consistent! I’m wise! And I know what I do Just believe in my lies And financial voodoo We’ll be great! We’ll be rich! Cratered markets? A glitch! #Tariffs ?—oh I’m a pro And you’ll reap what I sow #trumptariffs #trumprecession

Oh, let them eat cake While I golf in the sun It’s their own bellyache And—gee whiz!—look I’ve won! So go whinge and go cry Dimon, Ack, Schwarz and Zuck Did you really think I’d In the end give a…cluck #trumptariffs #trumprecession #politicalpoetry

It’s #liberationday at last Retaliation will be vast This legislation’s so half-assed Translation: the whole world’s aghast #trumpcession #trumptariffs

25’5 it’s a record for sure And if only your courage could serve as a cure We need leaders like you who show how to be brave Not the snowflakes who think that their job is to cave Carry on @booker.senate.gov we’re rooting for you Cause with heroes like you maybe we’ll all pull through #corybooker

They say 'trust in Trump’ But I think he’s a chump And I don’t trust a plan That comes from a con man And I don’t trust you guys Who just parrot his lies And I yearn for a time When truth won’t be a crime #peternavarro #tariffs

Hey #Greenland we think you should partner with us We’re the world’s bestest partner It’s us you should trust Look at how we treat Canada Europe Ukraine We’re the best ally ever And also…not Danes #greenlandnotforsale #poetry

#Greenland is great And it’s so very fine And the message of late Is I wish it were mine But a wish is a dream And some dreams are best stowed Making this week’s best meme *Dream team* Vance being no-ed #greenlandnotforsale

The #Signal was sound And the war plan a chat And that journo, we’ve found Well he wasn’t all that So don’t worry, we’ve got The press under assault And if pilots get shot Eh, it won’t be our fault #nationalsecurity #signalgate @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Noone was texting war plans And that’s all I have to say Besides we aren’t big fans Of that #JeffreyGoldberg anyway Who cares what app we use Or what mistakes we do not make We are in charge—now that’s the news And we can choose what laws we break #hegseth #signalgate #theatlantic

Your hysteria, really, is over the top Said the Rep from #Wyoming, a total milksop You’re obsessed with DC, and it really should stop Now excuse me, it’s time for Team Trump’s photo op (*Cue mic drop) #harriethageman #politicalpoetry

They’re picking up people And packing them off When the judge says “not legal” All they do is scoff But beware, it won’t stop with a person or two And the next one they pick up—well, it might be you #dueprocess #judgeboasberg #deportation

Like Midas whatever he touches turns gold Every tourney, each trophy, each stroke But this winning, it’s starting to get very old When each win he invokes is a joke Look, I too could become a top-tier #golf athlete If all I had to do was to cheat #westpalmbeach #trumpinternationalgolfclub

Chablis and sancerre and bordeaux and #champagne Oh the loss is too much for my sweet little brain In this world what I don’t want to do is abstain You call this tariff strength? It’s a stupid campaign (And if you don’t agree, let #JackDaniels explain) #tarriffs #tradewars

Shred and burn It sounds like fun Until you learn What harm’s been done No traces left No stones unturned It looks like theft Is State concerned? #USAid #ericaycarr #politicalpoetry

To be #trans is a human trait It’s something we should celebrate Not — like #repKeithSelf and #RepMaryMiller — abnegate Cause when you’ve run folks out the door And your #dearleader still wants more Who do you think he’s coming for? #sarahmcbride #houseforeignaffairs

Unbought, unbossed and unafraid #AlGreen won’t sit while we’re all played He’s just the sort of renegade To make from lemons, lemonade What instead has me most dismayed Is those 10 #Dems whose vote betrayed Their colleague and his brave crusade For which, I hope, they’ll be repaid #censure

“ #Tradewar s are good And they’re easy to win” One or two petty falsehoods And watch the tailspin See our prices increase See our exports decline As our partnerships cease All this winning’s divine! #canadaustradewar #deficit #poetry #wallstreet

#Ukraine 's Options wane While the reds Drink champagne It’s insane Inhumane #Kyiv 's campaign All in vain? #Istandwithukraine #poetry

Don’t tell me you’re shocked or surprised or chagrined It was you who decided to vote this man in You thought—what?—he’d be swell? He’d reform? Wouldn’t lie? Now the damage accrues, and we’re stuck with this guy #stockmarket #tariffs #socialsecurity

Trump says wear a tie While Z’s citizens die It’s the new apple pie The US—the bad guy #Istandwithukraine #zelenskyy

You’re looking for waste Fraud, abuse Well make haste Cause the race To find waste Is a little misplaced $40M for the detail That covers the prez Which he pockets Whenever he stays on his Rez $84 for our reps But it pales when compared To the 38 billion That #Musk has ensnared #politicalhumor

Oh they think Russia’s grand Oh they think Russia’s fine Where the media’s banned And the truth is a crime Where kleptocracy’s tops And invasion is right And the grift never stops Now this, too, is our plight #slavaukraini #russiaukrainewar #zelensky

We’ve sided with brutes Cause Trump thinks Putin’s cute And our friends now are foes Cause now anything goes #standwithukraine #belarus #ukraine #UnitedNations

Napoleon He wasn’t tall In fact I’ve heard He was quite small He thought that he Could win it all But all we speak of, now’s His fall #dictatortrump #Napoleon #presidentialpower

#LongLiveTheKing Well it has a nice ring And it’s something I sing In the shower Like with Moscow, Beijing The entire right wing A few words and—cha-ching Now that’s power #MTA #congestionpricing #poetry

New York City is rich In traditions Of grift Which To those of ambition’s A gift Still the sitch With today’s politician’s A shift Oh to hell with the rhyme #EricAdams, resign @govkathyhochul.bsky.social #adamsresign #daniellesassoon #haganscotten

The #KennedyCenter has witnessed a coup #UshaVance #SusieWiles and—yup—you-know-who What to do? Copy smart #IssaRae who we ❤️ Take a stand, find a voice, grab your art and depart You’ll be speaking for us which is what the arts do And on our part we’ll always be grateful to you
