CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE FUCKING SO CALLED AMERICANS LIVING HERE VOTING FOR THIS MONSTROSITY

Real Presidential Leadership focuses on the majority.......not the financial elite.......

Hey North Carolina you aren’t warranted FEMA? Isn’t this the same man and MAGA cult that went after Joe for getting them an immediate $700 and didn’t understand that was an initial “ emergency get by” money. Not rebuild money? Now what??

I'M SURE THE STORM RAVAGED MAGAS OF MISSOURI are happy that kleptocrat Trump has chosen to pocked FEMA money for he & Mar a Lago ELITES, rather than fund FEMA for disaster relief? Who needs it? And who needs health care, Medicaid/Medicare/ACA when Trump, Musk & cronies can get such huge tax-breaks?

The Pete Hegseth “Warfighter” Era.

So not only did we pay for it , pay for extra secret service, his air transportation with all of those employees but I’m sure in some way we paid for all those dinners and charged for him making a 25 min speech. After all he is president and he did speak correct? But cha Ching for him

If it was a “personal” and not a “presidential” meeting, why the presidential seal?

Wonder how many people Trump is negotiating foreign policy and tariffs with, that have children and other relatives going to Harvard and other Ivy League schools ?

The cruelty is the point.

Ed Sec Linda McMahon testifying to the House on her budget this morning. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) asks why 74 employees were fired -- and then rehired: "The dumbest thing I could possibly do is fire someone just to rehire them them, right?" he says with a smile. "It's like, beyond stupid, right?"

Walgreens ceased operations in January, and CVS will follow suit this month. This rapid succession of closures means two easily accessible pharmacies will vanish, critically reducing the availability of necessary medications for residents.

The Downtown Denver Partnership just spent $100,000 to rebrand the troubled 16th Street Mall as “16th Street.” Alright.

A sitting, surprisingly taller than husband, Melania signs her first ever executive order (wtaf?) … and no one comments on the unprecedented illegality of this. 🤷‍♀️

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

We finally have a manager's amendment amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/R....

My #SistersInLaw Barb McQuade’s book ATTACK FROM WITHIN: HOW DISINFORMATION IS SABOTAGING AMERICA, is coming out in paperback. Please join her and former AG Loretta Lynch in conversation at @NYU June 3 at 7 PM. Thanks to our host, @RGoodlaw. Details available here.

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

The incompetence is off the charts.

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

Luigi Mangione named Time: Person of the Year and GQ’s Sexiest Man Alive!!! Trump is going to be BIGLY mad

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Something overlooked is how the voucher scam, erasure of the Dept. Of Education, will affect the children in foster care. Already displaced, and rely on SNAP and MDCD. Children who, through no fault of their own, will be thrown to the wolves. They need mental health care, resources. I can’t…

What’s supposed to happen? If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do? Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run? 1.

Trump picked a new Surgeon General who got vaccinated, and MAGA went ballistic. A true cult purity test.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

Can we just fix the airports and work on planes crashing?

On his way home from the Middle East

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

the President of the United States, everyone

Donald Trump’s conflicts of interest in the Middle East are staggering www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

He embarrassed himself—and all of us—and got _nothing_ in return. And we’re _still_ going to experience shortages and price increases this summer. To which CNN has now responded by... ...praising this asshole and his whole political team. I would say “unbelievable,” but it’s all too believable.

Art of the Deal!!

Jeffries: China punked the administration and the administration backed down. That’s no surprise because we’ve seen that happen over and over and over again.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, shared photos of himself and his grandchildren frolicking in waters filled with sewer overflow. Swimming in sewage. Spewing garbage. Sowing cynicism. That’s RFK Jr. alright.

www.economist.com/finance-and-.... because he is weak, ignorant and an easy mark

Paul: They started out at 145% got down to 80% now 30%. It is 30% more than we have on currently. It will be a 30% rise in goods coming from China, and somebody will pay that, it will be the consumer.

By exactly whom John? www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Aaaand there it is.

Constitution? What constitution? It seems this administration and the GOP never heard of it
