Welp, we can throw Rocky Bleier and his stump in the back of the MAGA garbage truck. #Steelers

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

Hey! Does anyone know where I can get one of these?

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?

Yup. That’s the one.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

They want you to think boycotts and protests don’t work. 71% drop in income says otherwise. Keep going.

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

This is a suicide note for the American economy.

Great comic timing from the Danes here.

The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Remember: The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

This is so incredibly bad

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Protect schools, not swasticars.

Our veterans are the best of us. Our government has a sacred obligation to look out for them. We have a duty to care for them. Instead, the corrupt mongrels in charge are firing them in the thousands. Veterans fought for us. It's time we fight for them.

Damn. Not wrong. But damn.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Traitor Trump will spend the entire night trying to spin his disastrous Oval Office ambush stunt into a political win. Zelenskyy is a war hero. Trump is an all-time zero.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Putin is laughing his ass off — and clearly has Trump clinched by his tiny hairless balls.

My Senator is a traitor.

If a US military coup isn’t being planned now, it should strongly be considered.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

What happened in the Oval Office on Friday — the obviously planned ambush of Zelensky by Trump and Vance — was something that had never happened in the nearly 250-year history of this country! Our president sided with the aggressor, the dictator and the invader of Ukraine! PUTIN FIRST USA LAST

America, say hello to your newly appointed Deputy FBI Director.

I am loving Tesla’s latest ad campaign!

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

Captures it perfectly.
