Curious how this post omits the words “Russia” and “Putin.”

Although the recent technical issues have made it even worse, there has been something terribly wrong with it for quite a long time. It’s a toxic disaster area.

I am coming across more comic stuff than I can handle, but this is the spray of the year

This hits hard.

Meme coin 🤮 An asset with no inherent value, backed only by corruption, and once the big dinner is over, completely worthless. I wonder what they will but with the money? Maybe build a pyramid where the White House used to be.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Dingell: They are going to rip healthcare away from almost 14 million people. When I was at home, a mother had her child in a wheelchair and started crying on the elevator—she wanted me to promise her that her child would still be able to go to the doctor. Children’s Hospital in Detroit—

The president’s son.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Some good news! www.cnn.com/2025/05/18/e...

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

this is insane. kfor.com/news/local/h...

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

it's Election Day tomorrow... in Omaha. Mayor Jean Stothert, the GOP incumbent, faces John Ewing Jr., the Democratic treasurer of Douglas County. Omaha has leaned blue in federal races, but Stothert has been able to hold on to her office for now.

We should be ashamed of ourselves for not appreciating him breaking the law. ✈️ 💰 🙏

Aaaand there it is.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

The stock market is going to skyrocket today, but this is not bc Trump is a great president, an economic genius or a master deal maker. It is simply bc he’s an arsonist who almost burned the house down and is now putting out his own fire by caving on it all. Do not forget any of this…

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey mayor is arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting US attorney says.

Oops.

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record. Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.   Today, we’re seeing the results.

This is the official White House account.

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?
