I will be having a toast of bourbon thanking the stars that the SOB is finally gone and forever residing in a very hot place.

trump has thoroughly destroyed the prestige and honor of the office of the President of the United States. By selling himself and openly accepting bribes, he is officially the Prostitute of the United States.

some personal news! www.theatlantic.com/press-releas...

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Would anyone be upset if you saw some fist fights break out on the House floor? No, it wouldn't solve the problems...but it would Goddamn sure send a clear message to the citizens of this country how pissed off our leadership is...and how tired of the bullshit run-around they're getting.

Trump looked and sounded terrible in his interview with Welker. He's old, pathologically aberrant, neurologically impaired, and when the bluster is toned down, as it was here, he seems fatigued. (I wish we had access to what goes on medically behind the scenes. They guard that with their lives.)

I just stumbed across this. It is chilling, and I have no recollection of doing it. www.podomatic.com/podcasts/aud...

🤔😳😂

Walz: You have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don't matter. People like Deanna's son or my son or those of you listening tonight. So look, this is a fight we must win.

Moran: “In our country even bad guys get due process, right?” Trump: “If people come in to our country illegally, there’s a different standard.” Moran: “But they get due process?” Trump: “Well they get ‘a’ process where we have to get them out. They get whatever my lawyers say.”

**Admitting You Were Wrong Is Never Easy** In ’65, I was wounded in Vietnam, believing we were fighting for freedom. Years of reflection taught me that truth is complex. Today, I see that same struggle in those defending Trump—change is hard, but growth starts with listening. No shame.

I'm honestly not sure if we live in a country where Pete Buttegieg could realistically become president, but I sure wish we did.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Love this

Anyone that has studied Abnormal Psychology, has had addiction or narcissism in their lives, or has read about it or even just has an intuitive sense of it, recognizes that Pete Hegseth cannot control himself or his entitlement, and must be removed as Sec'y of Def. He's a catastrophe in waiting.

The definition of delusional: U.S. veterans calling someone who skipped out on military service, using a BS diagnosis for deferments, a “Patriot.”

Which is correct? What IS your maiden name? Or what WAS your maiden name?

“I would be lying if I said I don’t worry. I do. But as I wrote last month: “Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.” — @marcelias.bsky.social (4/5/25). Me too, Marc. In solidarity, LHT

Republicans in Congress must believe there will be no election in 2026, or they would put a leash on Trump.

Bait and Switch.

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

The captain of the Trumptanic just reassured his passengers it's a great strategy to hit as many icebergs as possible.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

I live a mile from ADX Florence, home to some of the most notorious criminals in the country. They are so understaffed that some guards all federal employees work 100 hours per week. The Things administration just canceled their union contract.

Tammy is a fighter (pilot). Calling Hegseth a f**king liar. Listen to the pilot

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full. Already forgotten Typical Ready Fire Aim

“The 5 things Pete Hegseth did last week” - Shared classified attack plans on an unsecured commercial chat application. - Denied doing it. - Denied the plans were classified. - Denied the plans were plans. - Attacked the journalist who proved he was lying.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

My niece just turned 18 and voted for the first time for Susan Crawford in Wisconsin ✊🏼💙💙💙

I challenge someone, please screen record how you sneak onto a signal chat

For those who don't have enough outrage. If she had been a white man, she would be hailed a hero on the website. But because of the color of her skin and the fact that she is a woman, she will be erased from history. #USDemocracy

If you aren’t demanding impeachment from your local representatives, then you’re not doing your job as an American. We should be demanding impeachment treason, his deporting immigrants without to process it all against the constitution impeachment should be imminent.

The real trick is remembering which previous Trump scandal the current Trump scandal is meant to distract from.

Brit is apparently not willing to go along with the New Big Lie being pushed by Hegseth and Fox hosts.

When you accidentally message a journalist your plans to bomb the Houthi rebels…congrats, you just unlocked “Top Secret, Bottom Shelf” level of incompetence.

Just saying: if Lloyd Austin had done this, every GOP lawmaker would call for his resignation by close-of-business the same day, and they'd probably have it.

Canada immediately signs up for a Signal account to get details about the big invasion Hegseth is planning.
