The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

To hate another human being for their gender identity or sexual orientation is the marker of someone whose humanity is fundamentally broken.

Trump released his proposed budget-and it’s as draconian as you’d expect He’s cutting SNAP by almost 2/3 Reducing cancer research by nearly 40% Taking $33 billion from the HUD And $12 billion from the Department of Education Once again-the cruelty is the point www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

When do we start winning?

The State Department halting the scheduling of new student visa appointments is the latest escalation in Trump's attack on higher ed. To him, the only useful non-Americans are those who invest in his crypto schemes and global resorts or gift him a “palace in the sky” aircraft.

Under Biden, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) finalized a rule barring medical debt from credit reports. Under Trump, this policy has been reversed and the CFPB has even joined forces with corporate plaintiffs who have filed suit trying to block the rule. www.npr.org/2025/05/26/n...

Watching this morally bankrupt buffoon addressing West Point graduates with unintelligible word salads and rambling rhetoric on Memorial Day Weekend, was enough to make any actually Patriotic American sick to their stomachs. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

A reminder that as Trump advances a bill to give himself a huge tax cut and f--k over working people, he's probably pocketed a billion dollars this week from illegally exploiting the Presidency. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth - Trump is a walking embodiment of the 7 deadly sins.

The Most Transparent Administration in History™️

The House just passed a massive attack on trans people and literally NO MEDIA OUTLET is covering it Transition care literally saves lives. This is an effective ban on transition care. It will literally kill people.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to SNAP, the federal program that provides food assistance to millions of low-income Americans.

I am certain that we will not hear about deficits and debt ever again from Republicans who are about to vote for a bill that adds more debt to a country’s balance sheet than any piece of legislation in the history of the human race.

Ah, but you see, covering Biden means you can play act at being a hard nosed journalist without taking any risks or having to reflect on the morality of your own profession!

Thanks to Trump's disastrous USDA cuts, DMV food banks have lost 1.4 MILLION meals and food banks nationally are struggling to meet growing demand. There's nothing "efficient" about taking food from people in need. It's just more cruelty from Trump and his cabinet of billionaires.

I didn't think it was possible for so many people to get so dumb so fast.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I wast just nearly killed by hurricane NOAA didn't monitor because of DOGE cuts. But at least I now have a president how has the guts to say that Taylor Swift isn't hot anymore.

The most lawless administration in US history is already giving away billions of dollars to the family of convicted felon Donald Trump, so what's another $5 million to the family of a criminal insurrectionist? Their contempt for the rule of law is unbelievable. www.yahoo.com/news/ashli-b...

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

“Faced with a president who seemingly has no concern for constitutional limitations, the carefully crafted restrictions of the Constitution appear to be unenforceable; the courts are ineffective, and Congress doesn’t seem to care,” @rosenzweigp.bsky.social writes:

Trump's plan to gut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the rich could not be more politically toxic. www.messageboxnews.com/p/trump-want...

Medicaid covers... -40% of births nationwide -50% of kids with special needs -72 million people in total Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.  "Party of family values."

Republicans aren't throwing out their principles to support Trump, those principles were never real. They were cudgels. The core of Right Wing ideology is that there is a natural hierarchy of power. There are those who deserve everything and those who need to be penned in by laws and oppression.

Federal agents' seemingly universal adoption of neck gaiters worn just below the eyes like they're robbing the railroad is emblematic of this time in the US

just over the last 5 weeks, Trump has helped swing elections (against him) in Wisconsin, Canada, Australia, and the Vatican.

It takes a special kind of stupid to take a growing economy and throw it into reverse.

Washington playoff sports teams are a constant disappointment, if it weren’t for the goal posts it would’ve been 4-1 in regulation

He’s ruining literally everything.

When you’re the most fragile and pitiful cuck to ever breathe, even Elmo and Big Bird threaten your existence.

You can’t make this shit up! The mental gymnastics from the head Chud-in-Chief are truly incredible to witness😂

Are we great again yet?

Virtually every number or statistic Trump throws out on any subject - polls, election results, casualty figures, immigration, taxes, spending, economic, gas or food prices, - 95% of the time he uses a number for anything it is patently false and wildly exaggerated in his favor.

President Trump on Thursday said he was allowing commercial fishing in one of the world’s largest ocean reserves, introducing industrial operations for the first time in more than a decade to a vast area of the Pacific dotted with coral atolls and populated by endangered sea turtles and whales.

Some things are worth repeating: Social Security is an EARNED benefit that WE, the American people, pay into. It should not be a political punching bag. Hands all the way off.

No matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their tax cuts for the rich without gutting healthcare and food assistance for the poor — along with other programs that millions of people rely on. Don't believe their lies for a second.

Trump has been racking up some procedural "wins" at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward. He's like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job. My latest in @thenation.com

77 million Americans said they wanted more Trump. Now we all get to pay the price of this delusional thinking by all those who were convinced he was better for the economy and wouldn’t be so bad.

It can’t be said enough how right Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were. About everything.

A reminder that MAGA, like other authoritarian movements, is a death cult that has given up actual hope of things getting relatively better and traded that faith for catharsis and the brutal glee of knowing perceived enemies are receiving the brunt of the violence and humiliation.

Donald Trump is holding a $1 million dollar-a-person candlelight dinner tonight at Mar-a-Lago. How incredibly tone-deaf as he's crashing the economy and the stock market.

Trust was America’s superpower in the business world as in international affairs. There are huge costs to us and to the world that will come from our loss of that trust. And make no mistake, it is gone and will take many years, perhaps decades, to recover…if that’s even possible.

I for one am amazed that allowing the world's stupidest man to bellow like an idiot while swinging a sledgehammer into every surface encountered has not fixed all of our problems but has instead made all problems worse and caused new ones. It makes no sense; he had the longest tie, the goldest hair.
