Trump has a gift for being wrong about everything. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/w...

Republicans confident they have the votes to uninsure 14 million Americans in committee. Would be great to shock them. act.ocasiocortez.com/call/save-me...

A really excellent outburst of late night righteous indignation from @timmiller.bsky.social, on Trump's "depraved" treatment of Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban and Venezuelans who've fled communism, compared to their unctuous welcome of white Afrikaners. www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-sic...

RFK: "Scientists still don't know if crops fail because of human sins" Scientists: "Bollocks. What is this debunked medieval bullshit?" RFK: "So, you could be arrested for committing as yet undetermined crimes if a) your crop fails, or b)..." Scientists: "Fucking idiot" RFK:...you're a scientist"

"The biggest news over the weekend was the silence of Republicans. They refused to disavow Stephen Miller’s statement that the administration is looking at suspending habeas corpus...They have stayed quiet [about] the gift of a $400m luxury Boeing 747-8 plane." open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I’ll wait…👇

🤣🤣🤣👋

Just so you know 🤣🤣🤣

There's a lie going around (also promoted now by the Starmer government) that a major global economy like the UK can function without foreign workers. It's complete nonsense. That's why adult politicians created the EU Single Market with Freedom of Movement. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

russian occupation is not peace It is the erasure of identity, the theft of childhood, and the planting of hatred where there should be dreams. RussiaIsATerroristState

This is a Russian drone with the inscription. ''There will be no truce'' This was sent to Ukraine after the ceasefire was supposed to take place. What more do we need to see. @Bricktop_NAFO

"Castle says his team hoped to find 'a moderate consensus' about cannabis’s potential as a cancer treatment, and expected the 'best case scenario' to be something like 55% of studies showing that medical cannabis improved cancer outcomes. 'It wasn’t 55-45, it was 75-25,' he said."

Jeremy Bowen: "Do you think Israel is using food aid, medical aid, humanitarian aid, as a weapon of war?" Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA: "I have absolutely no doubt..." Bowen: "That's a war crime" Yes it is.

Zelensky will not meet with any other representative of Russia in Istanbul, except for Putin , said Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the head of the Ukrainian President's Office. suspilne.media/1016363-zele...

Putin has only met Zelensky once, in the Normandie talks in Paris in December 2019. Apparently, Putin figured that Zelensky outwitted him so he has refused to see or even talk on the phone with Zeensky ever since. Putin prefers fools, such as Trump & Witkoff.

Of all the awful stuff in this reprehensible bill, the fact that your children stop being considered dependents at SEVEN may be the most horrifying detail.

Reminds me also how MAGA types will say “why are you so obsessed with talking about Trump all the time?” Because he won’t fucking leave us alone, that’s why.

Bravo to these activists for educating the public about how to handle ICE!

We already don’t have a country anymore because we have a Criminal in office who hired all his Criminal Friends to commit crimes against humanity.

Believing you can "separate" while keeping all the benefits and avoiding all the costs is EXACTLY how brexit happened.

It’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.

When you get right down to it

Huh. Maybe that whole immunity thing was a bad idea.

A republican proposal to scale back Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies will result in millions of Americans losing their health insurance

I'd like to share that I'm a huge Rachel Maddow fan. Her show on MSNBC is amazing. She is factual and digs deep into what's going on. She also takes the time to show the demonstrations happening around the US. Highly recommend.

wow, wonder who was president when no one was flying during covid?

Trump is leaving for Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates today. He wants us to believe the main reason for his trip is to get Saudi Arabia to sign agreements for a trillion dollars to help America's businesses. But that’s a lie. He going to finalize deals for his family's businesses.

Thank God!

April marks biggest travel decline yet since Trump was re-elected as president. Who wants to travel to the United States, especially over safety concerns?

President Trump's trip to the Middle East this week puts him in a position to make foreign policy decisions that could directly impact his personal business interests, posing serious conflicts of interest.
