Very good question.

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

what a battle of the People Who Will Never Shut The Fuck Up this is going to be

Kudos to the bird that managed to shit an image of itself onto this bloke's car.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

If you had told me the bitchiest moment of Pride Month would be this...

This goes out to those who are standing as allies with Trans people. In the comments are a few supportive comments I pulled from the petition for those who thought we should drop the “T” for votes!

It's been overtaken by the Musk-Trump feud, but this session with Merz continues Trump's streak of the most embarrassing/appalling Oval Office meetings with foreign leaders in modern U.S. history.

IDGAF about space advances IDGAF about AI IDGAF about human achievements as a whole Until we have every person housed and fed at bare minimum we have FAILED as a species... Period.

once again I must tap my own sign

In a single afternoon, Musk called for President Trump's impeachment and accused him of being "in the Epstein files." In turn, Trump threatened to cancel billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies.

Fake Agency DOGE is actually going to cost us money. youtu.be/-8YREs4vmUA?...

1/ New in the Abrego Garcia case, the Judge has just granted his lawyers' request for permission to file sanctions against the government, which is very unusual.

Democratic candidate Keishan Scott has won the special election for South Carolina's 50th State House District, defeating MAGA lunatic William Oden by over 41 points in the same district that VP Kamala Harris won by only 5 points. More of this please. 💙👏

hahaha our shitty legislators passed a law barring the display of any non-official flags on state property (including schools) in an effort to limit rainbow flags, so my city just voted to adopt the pride flag as one of our official flags. happy pride y'all!

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

Ban congressional stock and crypto trading now. The American people overwhelmingly support it. Time to get it done.

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

We've got the perfect birthday gift for Donald Trump: A nationwide day of defiance. Trump is planning a military parade in DC, so we're taking to the streets everywhere else on June 14 to say #NoKings. Extra credit: paste ❌👑 into your Display Name! social.fieldteam6.org/s/5SIH2nod

The genius of right-wing propaganda is that it convinces even the people it doesn't indoctrinate that its fringe goals are extremely popular.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

MUST WATCH: This is the sound of truth cracking through a propaganda fortress: “Millions of people who DESERVE Medicaid will be kicked off.” – Marie Harf, ON FOX. If that doesn’t piss you off, you’re either rich or sedated. The rest of us? We’re being left to die.

George W. Bush could do this with PEPFAR but stopping Elon and Marco from giving 1400 babies a day HIV isn't worth the hassle to a man with the best security on earth.

Definitely looks like the Resistance is rising across the US for the #NoKings action--there are events scheduled in EVERY Congressional District in the US. Check out the Map here:

Goofy Bobby may be the most dangerous man in the world.

HowTF do they consistently find people this fucking stupid?

Trump Tyranny Tracker: Day 131-133 weekend roundup is out! The daily tracker documenting the latest in corruption, power consolidation, civil & human rights abuses, and weaponization of government news.

The largest cathedral on earth just went full PRIDE!! New York City’s St. John the Divine is now lit up from floor to ceiling, in the colors of the pride flag!! 🏳️‍🌈 For the first time ever the trans flag colors are included too!! 🏳️‍⚧️ This isn’t just beautiful! This is historic!! 💗

Even though America’s infrastructure is crumbling beneath our feet, Trump paused funding for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on Day One of his administration. Now, incredibly, he’s slapping his name on signs for jobs funded before his freeze and taking credit for progress... 1/2

This is how Republicans will rig elections.

It’s incredible that he does this as Mike Johnson is out there accusing recipients of widespread fraud.

Trump thinks these trans soldiers aren’t fit to serve, but they put @jordanklepper.bsky.social's skills to shame

The con is so enormous and comprehensive that there is not enough airspace to keep track of it. Which is the purpose.
