This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

Eddie Vedder wasn't having any of Trump's shit

Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

Amazing moment:

I interpreted the results by the positioning, not by color.

Make it make sense. What the fuck are we doing?

I'm sure Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson will be reporting on this clear case of presidential cognitive decline, right? Right?

Am I the last to know? The Qatar jet offered to Trump turns out to be an item unsuccessfully for sale since 2020. The "gift" is not only a Trump grift, but also an attempted scam on the US taxpayer, who will assume costs the owners no longer wish to pay. onemileatatime.com/qatari-royal...

Congress? Are you there?

On this 80th Anniversary of VE Day, we remember all those who won the war against Nazis and remember the countless sacrifices they made to deliver it. The Greatest Generation stood up to evil to protect peace and freedom for generations. Now it’s our turn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pNl...

Donald Trump never meant to keep his promises. His voters are starting to notice, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes.⁠ https://theatln.tc/TCOe2HBt

Does everyone hate JD Vance? Well does the pope shit in the woods? We might have that second question wrong. But thanks to twitter, we know the answer to the first one. And while we doubt the new pope really hates Vance, it’s nice to know he at least disagrees with the ass-kissing couch-fuck.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Excellent show. Thank you. @msnbc.com

HeyJeff. This is my call. I want to know added cost of tariffs, just like I know my sales tax.

I want to see every President of the United States be an example of love for all life.

Trump’s push to gut civil service protections under "Schedule F" would make government a loyalty test — not a meritocracy. Veterans who continue serving as public servants would be forced to swear fealty to Trump — or lose their jobs. That's not democracy. That's dictatorship.

Latest from my 39 y/o grandson.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Thank you! Someone has to speak truth to those who do not know what the truth is. I wish those who need to hear the truth would listen to you and your wonderful guests. @msnbc.com

The El Salvador story is less about Abrego Garcia himself than about the right to due process. The assault on Harvard is less about the school itself (there are and will be others) but attempted federal control of private universities. 1/

Trump claimed that a gang is committing crimes in US at the direction of Venezuela’s government- which is why he invoked wartime law to deport people whom officials suspected of belonging to that group. But our intelligence agencies find otherwise. Trump lied www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/kQAZFJJw

Allison Riggs, a justice on the North Carolina Supreme Court, is currently at the center of the nation’s sole uncalled 2024 election. She tells @dgraham.bsky.social that what is happening to her “is a real attack at the fundamentals of democracy”:

Heads must roll for SIGNALGATE! Better your wimpy, incompetent Cabinet lose their heads than our precious service people. WE WILL NOT FORGET!

Where are unredacted Epstein files?

Leaking war plans in a Signal chat with a reporter gets you a pat on the back in Trump’s America—but 51% of voters say someone should be fired. Another 24% want disciplinary action. Check out more from our exclusive @civiqs.bsky.social poll below 👇 www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Dwight Eisenhower, ( once a Columbia president) “The true purpose of education is to prepare young men and women for effective citizenship in a free form of government.”

Oh good! Two boys! Thanks for showing us their crotches. 🙄

It is possible that he and others in this administration would then qualify for that required institutionalization. Autism ranges across a broad, diverse continuum.

So will Judge have Trump et al arrested and held until trial?

Good morning. ☕️ Today, lawyers who practice in DC will vote to decide if Pam Bondi's brother, Brad Bondi, should be the president of the DC Bar. The DC Bar could become a venue for resolving complaints about the conduct of Trump allies.

Talk of disappearing anyone into gulags in El Salvador is an affront to our Constitution. We need a few Republicans members to find the spine to join House Democrats in impeachment proceedings against the Fascist-in-Chief.

I want to see every President of the United States be an example of love for all life.

Where are unredacted Epstein files?

They still think they’re gonna get the Epstein client list even though they can’t get any new files from Pam Bondi. 🙄

Have we noticed that sneaky is tiptoeing back tariffs on things the wealthy like to have like computers but not on the items the working folks need like sneakers.

Agreed!

Rattner’s Border Collie is best dog for rounding up sheep, but Trump is best old man for rounding up sheep.

Could Tariff stuff be distraction from plan to invoke Insurrection Act, suspend Constitution and our rights, and impose Martial Law? On Jan 20, “day one,” 47 signed Executive Order that set up this plan for dictatorship in 30 days.

I will never forget the indifference shown to the security of our precious service people by a cult of incompetents.

SIGNALGATE TARIFFGOOF

One rule to be a good Trumper is to hate women, unless they are barefoot, pregnant, and silent. Once upon a time, I would have been in favor (6 kids in 7 years🤪), but never barefoot. And I didn’t have time to talk! Crazy? Yes!

He acts like he really wanted to be a stand-up comic. I think he might have been good at that in his hometown.

This political crap is taking a great toll on the elderly, most if whom have nervous systems under duress already from aging issues.
