In Ireland at the moment, they wonder why we elected a fucking crazy person.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know witchcraft.

You’d think these people that run universities and law firms would know that!

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

To be fair, he was just as horrible in his first term. Just had better handlers. Only dregs and Fox drunks left. #americanamnesia

MAGA didn’t get their Golden Dome or their Epstein files or their trade war tariffs or their corrupt DOGE savings/cuts or their mass arrests of Biden family members and Democrats, all they got was billionaires getting more tax cuts. MAGA was played and they know it. 🤣

If we ever get our democracy, James and NO ONE ELSE, must be the next AG.

That’s why we give to you monthly!

The court’s ruling means the government may have to pay back duties it has already collected. “Anybody that has had to pay tariffs so far will be able to get them refunded,” said Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University who argued a case against the tariffs brought by small businesses.

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

This is what happens when you put internet conspiracy theorists in charge of major government departments.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

I sometimes sit up straight in the middle of the night and realize the country is being run by a lunatic… And a stupid one at that.

Beyond parody.

Meltdown on Truth Social in 3, 2, 1...

RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

Really? Congress votes on bills without even reading them? Our coalition read and broke it down. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) admitted he voted for Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill without realizing it weakened federal judges’ power to hold officials in contempt.

Narrator: They are not considering the offer.

House Republicans just tucked a provision into Trump’s budget bill to block courts from enforcing contempt orders against government officials who defy court orders.  This is unconstitutional.

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Look, it’s all fine as long as we keep the visa program for Slovenian nude models www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

In Ireland at the moment and can confirm this.

Disgusting

Stealing this! 🤣

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.

I was hesitant to write this obituary. Struggle as I might, I don’t have a grand life lesson of his life; nor I any clear meaning to make of his death. I’m just heartbroken that he’s gone. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-m...

Fantastic organization! Have worked with them on some rescues.

I know SpaceX hasn’t had much luck with Starship, but I’ve been doing some research and I have a theory. I suspect Starship will succeed if Elon Musk is onboard. I’ve run multiple simulations and a vast majority points to him being onboard being the missing critical element. 🚀

Trump has probably been sharing intelligence on Ukraine with Putin the entire time. Remember when aid to Ukraine was stopped and Russia suddenly got very precise with its strikes within the hour?

An ominous precedent: "Richard Hughes IV, who teaches vaccine law at George Washington University Law School, said he cannot recall a previous time when an HHS secretary overruled the advisory committee and the CDC." What will he change next?

Pete Buttigieg is right: Harvard’s stance is not just about student visas — it’s about defending the very idea of an open, cosmopolitan and international America. #ResistTrump

Butter chicken poutine hopefully! Ask politely.

The boycott continues!

My loyal companion Bode passed away on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, from canine lymphoma — just one month shy of his ninth birthday. I know everyone thinks their dog is the best but Bode truly was the best dog ever. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-m...

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

This is a good site. I always learn something new!

Dash’s Arts section at least does good work. Here on PBS censorship.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

Democrats need to contest for every vote, in every place there are votes. Even where they can't win, they need to play the long game and start cutting into Republican majorities. This is the way. apnews.com/article/rura...
