What a shocker. They don’t seem to fit the profile of Trump pardon recipients. 🙄

A friendly reminder: I can confirm all Nazis are going to hell.

Wow. Just wow. Dripping with sincerity and authenticity. A contrived fake apology to Lara Trump to pander to MAGA hoping they might buy some books. Packaged in pious sanctimony, smugness, & condescension, then sprinkled with a healthy dose of elitism. Gross. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Can we have Harvard grads and plumbers or is this a zero-sum thing? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Melania denies the story that Trump is going after Harvard because Barron was rejected.

Bluesky isn’t dying. X is fucking dying. Shit is broken.

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

I wonder how much Trump crypto you have to buy for a pardon as a dirty cop who got 10 years after getting caught on video accepting $75K in bribes from businessmen who wanted to buy badges?

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

The president pays tribute to members of the military who sacrificed all, before heading out for another day of golf.

Targeting a private educational institute because it won’t conform its governance and curriculum to what the state wants is…communist.

Today, we honor the service members who gave their lives for this country. We’ll be posting less so our team, and all of you, can take time to reflect, remember, and spend the day with loved ones. We’ll only post if truly needed.

Floating the idea of a 3rd term is just Trump's way of winding up what MAGA folks like to call "the libtards." The real damage is what he can do in the next 3.6 years when he never has to face the electorate again. Don't expect the Repubs to stop him.

This is indeed what they are going to do if we don’t stop them.

Rep. Charlie Rangel was a phenomenal patriot, hero, statesman, leader, trailblazer, change agent & champion for justice. The Lion of Lenox Ave was a transformational force of nature. Harlem, NYC & America are better today because of his service. May he forever rest in power.

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.

This #MemorialDay, we pause to honor the brave men and women who selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice for all our freedom. Let’s commit to be worthy of the heroic actions too many have made for those freedoms we take for granted.

Trump’s Memorial Day message to America is attacking judges and calling Democrats “SCUM.” No mention of the military.

Like I said a few times before, it was NEVER about campus protests or anti-semitism. It was always about seizing control of higher education through govt blackmail and coercion.

“I will end that war in 24 hours. I’ll stop all those lives from being lost. There will be no more bombing of Ukraine and everyone will be happy. It wouldn’t even be tough because I know just what to say to each of them. It may not even take 24 hours.”

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Trump: You have to watch we’re doing on trade. I know it’s not your primary thing. We are making deals with other nations that were not even --nobody thought it would be possible. The reason is very simple. They respect us again.

A win! A federal judge has blocked a Trump administration decision to revoke Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students.

What an honor…we are truly humbled. Thank you #Nashville - Thank you #GrandOleOpry! #TajMoDay @tajmahalblues.bsky.social

The cruelty is the point.

New meme alert

Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair. Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people.

They have created an ‘AI Melania’ to read her audiobook memoir: “I am proud to be at the forefront of publishing’s new frontier. An AI-generated replica of my voice under strict supervision will establish an unforgettable connection with my personal story.”

There is no trusted ‘news media, in the USA anymore. All there is: 1. Billionaire controlled propaganda networks 2. Independent media

This is real. “Suck it.” The Secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security.

Kevin McCarthy is the Crowned Prince of The Swamp. Trump promised to drain it, then backed the ultimate swamp creature McCarthy for Speaker. Trump is the Swamp King.

Dingell: They are going to rip healthcare away from almost 14 million people. When I was at home, a mother had her child in a wheelchair and started crying on the elevator—she wanted me to promise her that her child would still be able to go to the doctor. Children’s Hospital in Detroit—

Ah yes, Habeas Corpus. Latin for, "Deport first, Google later."

If only Christian charity were as easy as accessorizing.

Target's CEO donated $1 million to Trump, cancelled DEI programs, and now? He's watching his salary collapse. CEO FAFO

Federal immigration authorities arrested at least four people on their way home from their landscaping jobs in Vermont, according to Migrant Justice. The advocacy group said it couldn’t share more details yet, but received the report of the arrests on Monday.

Scanlon: You don’t schedule a meeting for 1 a.m. unless you’re trying to hide something. This bill is terrible. Republicans have been very reluctant to defend what’s in it.

Clarke: This is a fight over what is right and what is wrong. It is wrong to use this moment to drastically cut the services that the American people need—on top of tariffs, on top of gutting the federal workforce—while people are facing challenges, and then to dismantle healthcare as we know it.

Underwood: This represents the largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history. The largest cut to food assistance in U.S. history. Literally, they are stealing food out of the mouths of hungry kids to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. It is cruel. It is anti-American. And it is just plain wrong.
