How I miss the steady hand and soul of Joe Biden—a statesman, a gentleman, and a great American president. On the anniversary of D-Day, he honored the heroes of June 6, 1944: “They answered duty’s call on the beachheads of Normandy.“

This is so, so hard to watch 🥺🥹💔 and what better way to start Pride Month than to thank her for her service. Please repost. So much grace, dignity & courage 🫡🇺🇸🏳️‍⚧️

Department of Homeland Security barged Congressman Jerry Nadler’s office Accused staff members of “harboring rioters” And handcuffed one of his staffers “‘The Trump administration is trying to intimidate members of Congress..They’re behaving like fascists,” Nadler said youtu.be/2d2GCrqIgXA

We wanted to understand the theory that Joe Biden was executed and replaced by clones in 2020. So we talked with three involuntarily celibate crypto investors at a Whataburger in Buford.

Imagine being handed the ultimate weapon to win a future war and throwing that weapon away. That's what RFK Jr. just did this week. Read the latest report in The Breakdown from @citizencohn.bsky.social

HBO’s “The Rehearsal” is one of the most talked about shows of 2025, and a familiar Memphian — Congressman Steve Cohen — had a key role in the series.

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Why did this make my eyes water? 🥹

#ProudBlue This was a beautiful moment. Now the evil GOP wants to take healthcare away from millions. The two parties are NOT the same.

"Of 184 countries, the U.S. is the only one that's seeing an absolute decline in international visitor spending," Simpson said. "The U.S. is definitely losing its crown in this area."

TOURISM TO THE USA DOWN International travel spending in the United States is projected to fall by $12.5 billion, or seven per cent, in 2025, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). #MOG8 www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

💥 NEWS: McDonald's shareholders voted Tues. to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. McDonald's Board said the proposal "unduly interferes" with the company's "flexibility and judgment." MCD: "Our success in the future builds on our history of embracing diversity as a competitive advantage."

This Backs up my previous post. It is Self Explanatory. These cuts are brought to Americans by those Uneducated American who voted for Trump or a Republican. Trump lied Again about never Touching these healthcare Programs to pay for Tax Cuts to the Rich. Sickening 🤢🤢🤢🤮

Just leaving this here in case there’s still confusion about the definition of habeas corpus. As a law firm, we’re pretty familiar with it. #Legal101 #KnowYourRights

Remember yesterday when @sjdemas.bsky.social accidentally typed "Medicare cuts" instead of "Medicaid cuts" when posting about her interview with me, and I said "don't worry, I'm sure Republicans will get around to gutting Medicare as well sooner or later?" Guess what?

🚩 Oh hey, the Republicans big bullshit bill will also trigger $500 billion in automatic cuts to MEDICARE democrats-budget.house.gov/news/press-r...

BREAKING: This Big “Beautiful” Bill will force $500 billion in Medicare cuts. Yes. I said Medicare — not just pushing millions of hard working Americans off Medicaid www.youtube.com/live/cXziyZZ...

On top of the cuts to Medicaid and the ACA, this bill proposes $500 BILLION in Medicare cuts. Republicans don't care who they hurt as long as they get their tax cuts. Beyond egregious! youtu.be/WKKZjLwk3sc?...

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Well, hell. RIP to perhaps the greatest one-liner delivery machine in TV history.

"Springsteen didn’t pull any punches — no references to 'our national divide' or 'both sides' or 'polarization.' He was direct, angry and precise in his language." - @guitarwatson.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/no-n...

NEW: Bruce Springsteen is one of the latest targets of Trump's ire due to a recent statement Springsteen made at his concert. It's good that The Boss showed no surrender in calling out the abuses of the administration, @guitarwatson.bsky.social writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/no-n...

Not a lot going on up there 🪱

Absolutely nobody except other journalists gives a shit about the definitions of “editorial” content or “newsroom approval.” Regular people see content under a masthead and assume that’s who’s responsible for it.

Attorneys filed an emergency motion to block the Trump admin from sending two immigrants to South Sudan. They're from Vietnam and Burma. Motion here. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

The GOP's budget would make brutal cuts to food assistance and our colleagues won't shield veterans from their cruelty. Veterans are not waste. They're not fraud. And they're not abuse.

"The report in question was neither peer-reviewed nor published in a medical journal..." www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

Imagine how people will be diagnosed with late-stage cancer in the ER after Trump throws 14,000,000 Americans off Medicaid. They will lose access to their primary care doctors and preventative screenings. Maybe journalists can report this with the same energy they are using to pile on Joe Biden.

Axios’ editorial comms director who is relentlessly pushing the Axios/Tapper book about Biden was a literal Republican operative who did comms for Ron Johnson, Kevin Cramer, the RNC, the ND Republican Party, and worked on Rand Paul’s 2016 campaign.

Bound to happen. You can’t tariff Heard and McDonald islands and expect the penguins to just sit there and take it.

💔😢 Please know this President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill, Canada has always appreciated and embraced your warmth, kindness, and empathy. You are a North Star to us all, and we will keep you and your family close to our hearts in strength and healing. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸

Just absolutely fuck Tapper. Keep Joe Biden’s name out of your opportunistic mouth.

Musk’s AI bot Grok blames ‘programming error’ for its Holocaust denial: Grok doubted 6 million death toll, days after peddling conspiracy theory of ‘white genocide’ in South Africa www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

In 1974, one job paid for a home, kids, car, and vacation. The minimum wage in '74 was $2/hr. Today in most parts of this country you’d need $60-75/hr to live the same life. Wages are flat. Everything else has skyrocketed. It’s a rigged system funneling money upward while the rest of us drown.
