This is too wholesome

Well framed

"You get two dolls and some pencils. I get a golden 747 jumbo jet. See? You get more things than I do. When was the last time you said 'Thank you, Mr. President'?"

The amount of Russian soldiers in this picture is how many are killed or wounded every three days

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

Brilliant, honest Abe ...

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff. - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

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?

Trump’s “very public and transparent transaction” on the Qatar jet grift only came to light after confidential sources told ABC about it.

Who needs a $400 million “palace in the sky” when you can have two or three dolls and a couple of pencils instead.

THIS is the most devastating constitutional crisis.

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Newsom: I’ll give you a specific example: just this morning, in anticipation of meeting with Chinese counterparts in Geneva, he decided to negotiate against himself—the great negotiator—from 145% tariffs imposed on China, now he says, “Well, maybe it should be 80%.”

Livermore, you showed up. You spoke out. And you’re ready to fight like hell to save our democracy. I’m all in with you. Let’s link arms and get to work.

I cried, so now y’all can too. Mr. Riddick graduated at 80 years old! It’s never too late, and this is important as I constantly doubt myself. 💙💙💙 congratulations to you sir!!!

WATCH: Chris Murphy gives a masterclass in how to dismantle the cosplay queen, AKA Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

gorgeous!!

this is awesome & a bit hysterical too...

I can't stop watching owls.

Sad truth that we are going to see again and again. Even for those of us who did not vote with misguided motives in mind.

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.   Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

“Every act of compassion is an act of defiance. Every moment of empathy is a refusal to surrender. Every time we choose decency over cruelty, we reclaim a piece of our shared humanity. This is the fight of our time—not for power, but for the soul of our nation.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Another message from this "deal": kids don't need more than 3 dolls, but you can never have too many Rolls-Royces, which will now enter tariff-free.

Today’s reading exercise.

🍊 💩 🐒 's nominee for Surgeon General doesn't even have the minimum required professional credentials to be Commissioned as an entry-level O-3 Medical Officer, let alone the top Officer in the USPHS Commissioned Corps. Complete disgrace and a slap in the face to my Corps!

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Let’s be honest: the policies they’re pushing? LITERALLY straight out of Project 2025. The same plan they claimed they had nothing to do with.  Now they’re writing them into law—gutting public lands, rejecting science, and handing out kickbacks to their corporate buddies.   We’re fighting back!

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Wonderful desert Jackrabbit scene – stretching tall, to reach sweet flowers from a Mesquite Tree… Seen from a window, early morning – in shady area with dappled sunlight, by a rustic wood fence. #Photography #Wildlife #Calm #WildlifePhotography #Spring #Wonder #NaturesBeauty #Nature #Peace #Desert

Love the lil flex when they realise they just became the most famous bird in the world.

Powerful

So Trump finally reaches the concepts of the framework of a trade deal with a country that we actually have a trade SURPLUS with. In Trump’s vernacular, WE have been ripping THEM off. So now we help them reverse that so we can run a deficit with them. Brilliant.
