America is dying, murdered at the hands of the Republican Party.

AOC, talking Medicaid cuts — after Rep. Weber chides her for addressing the camera: “.. There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. .. They deserve. To see. What is happening. Here.” @aoc.bsky.social

Someone is thinking clearly.

Trump appointee for "performing the duties of FEMA administrator,” David Richardson, wrote a book loosely based on his time fighting in Iraq. It suggests we have a pompous, self-aggrandizing womanizer heading emergency management.

“I think it is shameful that you won’t even request to see if this young man is alive. His family has no idea, has no access to lawyers. I would hope that we would have that humanity. The humanity to just check if this young man is okay.” - @robertgarcia.bsky.social

Whom do I loathe the most? 3) Trump 2) Elected Republicans who support Trump 1) Americans who support Trump and elected Republicans who support Trump.

The White House’s talk of suspending habeas corpus goes against a century and a half of legal precedent; the Supreme Court has made clear only Congress has that authority. But this is emblematic of how President Trump has operated: take the powers you want, and see if anybody stops you.

Duffy on the air traffic control system: "The lights are blinking, the sirens are turning ... what you see in Newark is gonna happen in other places across the country." Good luck, air travelers!

Important story: Trump fires top US copyright official. It's "no coincidence [Trump] acted less than a day after [Perlmutter] refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

It took the wee bird a while to muster the gumption to take the dive into the water, but once he did I think he liked it. I think he was even singing in the bathtub. Common Yellowthroat, Alexandria, Virginia, 05.08.2025 #birds

That time in 1988 Sesame Street ripped on Donald Trump

It's far past time to remove Trump from office

Turns out that this Miller character who walks like a fascist, talks like a fascist and sounds like a fascist, is in fact, a fascist.

A disappointingly large section of the American population is actually supporting Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s fascist agenda. To me, that is the most terrifying aspect of this entire nightmare.

This day keeps getting better.

America needs to be rescued from this monster soon, or we will never again have free and open elections.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis says he has informed the White House he will oppose Ed Martin’s nomination to be the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, a likely fatal blow to his already improbable chances of confirmation. Not only has Ed Martin been a staunch advocate for January 6 attackers,…

Oh SNAP... If Senator Tillis is blocking your nomination, it says a lot about your character and lack of qualifications. When even your own party sees a problem, that's a major red flag. The American people should decidedly reject insurrectionists and support leaders who put integrity first.

BREAKING: A federal judge in New York becomes the SECOND to find Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation unlawful — there's no “war,” “invasion” or “predatory incursion." Here's how it begins. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Background www.allrisenews.com/p/unlawful-h...

If true, this guy is the lowest of the low.

I don’t know, man, maybe it’s all the amplifying of Nazis on you platform, the stiff-arm salutes, the joking about Nazis, the cozying up to Germany’s far-right, your family’s history of supporting apartheid, the support for eugenics, the Nazi font hats, and, you know, the whole movement you’re in.

Dammit, US military! US Supreme Court! US Congress! Get rid of this nightmare! Nobody cares how you do it, just do it! The man is insulting and offensive. He’s a criminal and a traitor.

Some hideous porcine fascist is threatening a member of Congress. This isn't normal. This is terrifying.

What a pathetic, sniveling, insecure loser to throw an extravaganza like this in honor of…himself.

Sounds like a dictator to me.
