This is a fine approach, but if I'm running, I'm no longer trying to persuade anyone. Sides were chosen long ago. My message is what it is. Either you agree with me or you don't. The game now is to generate enthusiasm, increase turnout and simply outnumber MAGA voters at the ballot box.

WATCH - @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “If that was a Democratic dogemaster who showed up with a shiner and there was a report he did so much Ketamine he couldn’t pee straight… you would be leading your show with it.”

Her stats line up with CDC data…

If the president wants to fly around in a vulnerable and security compromised g(r)fit plane who are we to stop him.

If you could show FDR and Churchill that 80 years later there was still global stability from what they seeded during the War they’d be pretty damn happy. Now some of you want to piss it away bc some YouTuber told you there was a Deep State.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

With all sympathy to Palm Springs, a fertility center bombing where the dude blows himself up and nobody else is exactly the kind of domestic terrorism I like to see

its genuinely insane to see the press on a "democrats must self flagellate over biden being old" when this shit is happening

I hate the Republican Party and I’m going to spend the rest of my days slowly and methodically dismantling the party. Bet.

An American President is going to turn a foreign luxury plane from Qatar into Air Force One. And then he’s going to keep the $400 million gift after he leaves office. It’s a disgrace to our country and a potential national security risk. Our Oversight Committee must investigate.

Strains bounds of propriety? Strains…bounds…of…proprietary? Am I having a stroke? What is happening?

🤷🏼‍♂️ ✈️

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?

A PLANE?!?! My dad turned down tickets to a BULLETS game when he was chief of staff of the senate foreign relations committee! And this guy accepts A PLANE?

Trump just axed the U.S. copyright chief—another move straight from Project 2025. This isn’t just bureaucracy, it’s about silencing creators. When you control the rights, you control the voices. Art. Journalism. Dissent. All at risk. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

This kid runs circles around the reporter

Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give into fear. Never. Ever. 🇺🇸

if you ask The Free Press, the right-wing does not exist, there’s only the left and people reacting to the left

Reporters: Here's a simple question that will generate viral stories. "How exactly is it Marxist?" The response will be a dodge, so you've got to stay with it and follow it up. "No, you said DEI was Marxist. What did you mean by that? Specifically?"

Some great advice on protesting

Look at these good dogs celebrating Therapy Animal Day at the Capitol!

Viktoriia Roshchyna, 27, was a Ukrainian journalist who was detained by Russia, tortured, and had her organs removed. Russia is a terrorist state.

Macron shook one hand.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Good lord what a bunch of liars and incompetents. Also, as an aside. who sets their disappearing messages to 4 weeks if they want to avoid accountability? Also, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social is a badass.

Calling something that definitely isn’t a hoax a hoax is helpful because it shows none of the other stuff they called a hoax was a hoax either

The moral depravity of the moment is inseparable from attacks on the rule of law and the deep constitutional rot in the United States.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

For American readers, this is from one of the UK's leading right-wing newspapers today. The game is up. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2...

Fox News today

Canada has an economist as Prime Minister and Mexico has an environmental scientist and Dr of Philosophy for president. Meanwhile the USA has a rapist con artist and Soviet sleeper agent as their president.

We are going to be destroyed by the stupidest people on Earth.

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

BRAVO! SENATOR RON WYDEN PUSHED FRANK BISIGNANO ON DOGE & PRIVATE INFO: WYDEN: I would like it in writing that you'll lock DOGE out of the Social Security databases. BISIGNANO: I don't know what lock DOGE out means. WYDEN: Stop them. It's a simple concept. When you lock someone out you stop them.
