“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

Exclusive: The Trump Adm. has decided to permit the sale of "forced reset trigger" devices that enable regular firearms to fire like machine guns, a move that one person familiar with the matter said was “by far the most dangerous thing this administration has done” on gun policy.

"Its only plagiarism if its a Black woman doing the writing, otherwise its just sparkling not-so-serious oopsies" Bill Ackman, 2024.

Costco doing a gold bar promo feels like some kind of indicator.

How long until the ICE goons meet a 2A/Castle/Stand-my-ground guy

Every now and then I just pause and think that … we could have just elected Kamala Harris, and we’d still have an economy that was the strongest in the world; we’d still have an American-led trans-Atlantic order; we’d be assured that our universities would remain the envy of the world; … (1/x)

The “pro life” party

But the Fox News crowd is soooo concerned about child trafficking so they’ll defo be outraged about this. [crickets]

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable. And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

Great work everyone

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

I almost forgot to post this, and it's the perfect day for it.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

Moms for Liberty has been ripping me off for nearly five years - my ideas, my strategy, my brand. Only thing that’s their own are the ménage à trois.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social could show real leadership by asking Schumer to move aside. Durbin too.

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

I think what is making everyone so angry isn’t just the cowardice of Senate Democrats, it’s their cowardice in comparison to the random normal person who runs for school board to oust a Moms for Liberty freak

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Any Senator who votes for the GOP partisan 'funding' bill is voting to give Elon Musk the power to gut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. This is not about funding the government: Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Rosa DeLauro have a one-month clean CR to keep the gov open."

Musk spending now up to $10.2 million. Fight back: WisDems.org/donate

WE GOT THIS! Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Octopuses are amazing. Smart, curious, playful & ultimately self-sacrificing…sentient. I could never ever eat one again. They’re like an extraterrestrial life form. Please help stop this experimentation on babies.

Many Floridians are worried about skyrocketing insurance costs, the future of Social Security and VA benefits, and countless other issues. Gay Valimont will be your voice in Congress, working for solutions to these pressing problems. Vote for Gay Valimont, Florida's 1st Congressional District.

This is petty but why is Zelensky’s English better than Melania’s?

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

Here's a question to ask: if he's a special government employee he has to file a conflict of interest OGE-450 form & have it signed by a White House lawyer. If he owned any crypto, he had to disclose, & if he did, the WH attorney would say either he has to sell it or he can't work on crypto. Did he?
