It's Drakes all the way down.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

He's saying shit like "Trump wouldn't have won without me" Like, yes, we know, that's why we're mad at you... Or, "Trump didn't release the Epstein files because he's in them." And you're like, right, no shit... Tell us something we DON'T already know.

No, say it louder. It's absolute bullshit how Across the Spider-Verse made over $300 million in profit, yet neither Marvel nor Sony could be bothered to defray the hospital bills of the man who co-created Miguel O'Hara. Instead they left his wife and family scrambling to afford to live.

It’s obvious that people were tipped off about Trump’s announcement and made a killing off it. Crimes are being committed in broad daylight.

It’s very weird to me that in all the (genuinely comical) hermeneutic reading of Trump’s decision to annihilate the global trade system, no one actually quotes one of the major reasons he himself cites for it:

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

"no modern administration has insisted on this standard before, & the idea that foreigners who are here on valid visas should live under fear that their every political opinion might become grounds for sudden incarceration in Louisiana or El Salvador is inhumane and close to un-American in spirit."

You see, the Trump Administration is losing court case after court case because judges, you know, lawyers, are applying the law. Now, imagine what CORPORATE LAW FIRMS could do if they didn't voluntarily bend the knee like cowards and become complicit with Trump's agenda—a pox on all of them.

jesus christ they want her dead

Honest to God, I try not to go down this road, but this is all just so fucking frustrating.

Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost. Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

😶

I am telling you most people don't know it's happening.

@propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy with an explosive scoop. This is insanity.

Honestly, it's just a fact at this point. I believed it years ago, now I can point right at it and know that it's true.

@thechrisbarron.bsky.social Just heard about the equipment theft, man. That suuucks. I hope they find it!

This is a Facebook post by Missouri State Rep. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia). Rep. Mark Alford is one of the members of Congress who got rocked at a townhall in late February. So now they're not just refusing to hold townhalls. They're apparently demanding people keep their office number a secret.

I just don't understand why Joe and Mika haven't gone to Trump's house to sit down with him in a cozy setting and explain why this stuff is bad. Obviously he's just confused, because he's such a rational person to go visit, and *we're all* stupid, right???

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Trump has lost Dave Portnoy

Ffffuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkkk

NEW: USAID's acting asst administrator, Nick Enrich, has been placed on leave after sharing a memo detailing how political appointees have "wholly prevented" staff from continuing life saving aid.
