đź§µ Louisiana set to spend at least $7M to bring Saudi-owned LIV Golf to New Orleans. At taxpayer expense. Repubs putting $$ in the pockets of the Saudi royal family & enriching Taco Thug & his family.

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

The man on the left is defending his nation's capital. The man on the right plotted an attack on his.

If you commit Medicaid/Medicare fraud (even imaginary fraud), Republicans will try to punish you. Unless you do it on an HUGE scale, then they will reward you.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

All the people complaining about Pride parades, parades they don't pay a penny for, are predictably silent about the US's Most Costly Parade Celebrating Pride (Donald Trump's), which they *will* be paying for. theintercept.com/2025/05/29/t...

I'm so over this lying, puritanical pixie.

Ukraine's wildly successful drone attack on Russia was an intricate plan that probably took a year to arrange. That means when Trump berated Zelensky four months ago for not having the cards, Zelensky knew he had the cards. But, unlike Trump, he's smart enough to know when to keep quiet.

This may save millions of lives--except in the US, where ignorant kook Robert Kennedy Jr will probably ban it because of some ridiculous, totally made-up reason.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

You know who thinks guns *do* kill people? The mass murderers who try to buy them.

Taco Thug has no cards. He's begging for a deal. Remember when he said they would all come crawling to him? He's a tariff joke.

You could waste your time reading that New Yorker article, or you could listen to the Behind the Bastards episode about Yarvin that rightfully mocks him mercilessly for being an edgelord idiot that doesn’t understand history.

This is a horrifying hate crime. RIP Jonathan Joss. www.yahoo.com/news/king-hi...

This, combined with a Reuters report that Iran was about to reject Trump’s previous proposal, indicates that TACO Trump has made an appearance at the Iran nuke talks and he is caving.

Trump's Nazi Stormtroopers shackled a high school kid this weekend in Massachusetts Born in Brazil & in the US since he was 6 yrs old Refused to say why he was arrested They just stormed in, nabbed him & shackled him as he was on his way to volleyball practice Someone is tipping off these thugs

đź§µSection 70302 is what they snuck in. Courts would be blocked from enforcing injunctions unless those bringing the legal challenge pay a bond. And would apply retroactively. Injunctions handed down by the courts years ago, like instructing the govt to stop segregating schools could be undone.

Is it a coming out party for the Law of Abundance? Or another turn on the anti-environment crank? Last Thursday's Supreme Court decision on NEPA is a big f'ing deal. My latest at @TheAtlantic: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court grants review of dismissal of Illinois voter suppression lawsuit for lack of standing. Democracy Docket will have full details and analysis. www.democracydocket.com

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas and Talking Feds host Harry Litman report on how the liberal Supreme Court Justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson are slamming the Supreme Court for its behavior in issuing stays for Donald Trump. youtube.com/watch?v=2Iic...

"Mike Davis, a former Supreme Court clerk and Senate aide, shared the violent post on X on November 6, 2024." “Here’s my current mood: I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall." “(Legally, politically, and financially, of course)”

www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme... Supreme Court said Monday that it will consider whether to revive a Republican congressman's challenge to an Illinois law that allows mail-in ballots to be received and counted up to 14 days after Election Day.

www.cnn.com/2025/06/02/p... Supreme Court declined Monday to hear arguments in a pair of significant Second Amendment challenges involving certain semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines, a move that leaves both of those laws in place.

Here we find Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, never one for facts or research, casually putting in writing as a supposed fact the idea that, at the very least, 1 in 7 of the approximately 200 million Americans over 18 owns an AR-15

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Supreme Court to consider reviving case over counting ballots after Election Day President Donald Trump’s allies have brought a series of cases seeking to exclude votes received after Election Day from official results. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Trump just asked the Supreme Court to halt a judicial order blocking mass job cuts & the restructuring of agencies. What Trump is really asking is for the SC to dismiss Congress altogether as the branch of gov't that is solely responsible for restructuring US gov't agencies. That's the real story.

Spare us the fake outrage.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The Christians in Congress should be feeding the hungry, but they're cutting food stamps. They should be healing the sick, but they are cutting Medicaid. They should be standing up to the billionaire class, but instead they're cutting their taxes."

"Musk is a greedy kleptocrat whose life’s work boils down to stealing from the poor to pad his own bottom line. That’s his legacy. He could’ve changed the world for the better; he had every resource available to him to do so. Instead, he made it markedly worse."

Looks like the far-right thug who facilitates prostitution might be Poland's next president. Some news services saying it's too close to call, but others saying he won. If so, Poland will be gripped with MAGA nationalism.
