The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Only a thousand a day? Let's get those tax cuts going, pronto!

Another Bro Boom. Boo. Hoo. Hoo.

@motherjones.com Big, enthusiastic turnout at the Capitol building in Salem, Oregon. And the honking from cars driving by deafening! #NoKings

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, State Senator John Hoffman and State Representative Melissa Hortman, were shot in their own homes overnight.

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats cannot stop him from using the military against American civilians, I'll have no choice but to support all of his future terms and inform on my neighbors when they criticize him.

Meaning that TACO Trump received frantic phone calls from some of his rich friends who employ migrants.

The world's largest independent bookstore is bringing back their warehouse sale after its massive popularity last year. https://www.koin.com/news/portland/massively-popular-powells-warehouse-sale-returns-second-year-06122025/?cid=bluesky_ 

Instead of “No tax on tips” how about “No more tips”? Pay a living wage and end this regressive, demeaning, uniquely American custom.

The Beavers will be going for their fourth CWS title in 20 years.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power has accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

The Founding Fathers knew political parties could destroy the country. We're proving them right.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Well, actually, anybody can land a plane. And if you don’t know how to fly it happens right away.

probably my favorite this year

What a confession — to admit we have so corrupted our existence here that our only hope for survival is an escape to Mars.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

DOJ has dismissed cases against police depts in Minneapolis & Louisville -- and closing police investigations in six other jurisdictions. Portland, which is under a DOJ settlement for police misconduct, is not mentioned (yet).

“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

US taxpayers will now pay Ashli Babbitt’s family $5 million.

Oh, another blackout? Maybe if they just fire more FAA employees…

You are supposed to REPRESENT the voters not subvert them. Despicable!

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

Dereliction of duty.

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

"I did this!"

This regime is gutting vital services relied upon by millions...all to extend even more tax cuts (and subsidies) to the super-rich. (Art work by @doodlebymeg)

Stephen Miller: "The writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at."

So what if fireman can't reach the buildings? At least the builders were able to jam a few extra square feet into the development.

Doing anything Mother’s Day night?

If this doesn't disturb you, you need a pulse check. And a civics lesson. Check out my video interview below w/ @emilyjaynef.bsky.social - and read the Q&A here for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Pam Bondi in her press release seems to think the Sinaloa cartel does a lot of good: “a significant blow against the Sinaloa Cartel that removes poison from our streets and protects American citizens from the scourge of fentanyl,”

Netanyahu is damaging Israel.
