Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Trump admits that tariffs will increase prices for American consumers: "Sometimes the country will eat it. Sometimes Walmart will be eat. And sometimes there will be something to pay. Something extra ... they have to take out some of their profits."

Oh sorry, I can’t spare the spine the party actually needs.

I think TikTok and Instagram are actively making people dumber.

COOL just one more news outlet to ignore and distrust completely

democrat who spent all of 2024 saying trump was a threat to democracy then voted to confirm 98% of his nominees: people don't trust us, we need to say someone is old

this is incredibly embarrassing

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

Pretty much admitting it now

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

we need to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that the number one qualification for getting a top job in the Trump administration is defending Trump on Fox

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

He can’t remember the word “stroller.”

I listened to President Trump call Rep. Jasmine Crockett a "low IQ individual" and I realized I had heard that before, so put the question to ChatGPT.

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Dear god let this man cook.

On his 100th day in office in 2017 Trump headed to a PA wheelbarrow factory to launch his trade policy and put the US on the path to today’s tariffs. Eight years on that factory is closed. The wheelbarrows are now made in China. My latest for @bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

At the core of White/Christian Nationalism is the inability to accept that people are different from you, and that they deserve equal status to you.

If you start by sanctioning lawyers simply because they represent clients with whom you disagree Then progress to defying Supreme Court orders-while absurdly claiming those decisions SUPPORT your position It's only a matter of time before you begin arresting judges This is fascism-pure and simple

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Thank you, @jamellebouie.net and Brett_Land on YouTube. youtube.com/shorts/dNhtl...

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.

the only way kidnapping and illegally detaining lawful permanent residents (or citizens!) in foreign concentration camps "plays out" is we all live our lives under fascism or the fascists are jailed and many of them executed. that's it. read a fuckin book.

"The 2024 election wasn’t a restaurant where you could order cheaper eggs but politely ask for the server to hold the fascism. You’re still getting the fascism, and your eggs aren’t just overpriced now, they’re broken and rotten." -- @playtyperguy.com

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

New in PN: How to steal a state supreme court seat with one weird trick "Republicans succeeded in changing the rules not midgame but literally after they lost. Nothing will stop them from doing this again and again, making a mockery of elections and injecting confusion into results."
