*sidling up to a lady at the bar* hello would you like to join my polycule? we sleep in a Fisher-Price xylophone.

Today’s a great day to remind everyone that Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625% That’s FAR lower than private sector retirement programs, btw.

As long as we’re talking about Naomi Wolf I want to remind you once again about the time she thought Apple invented vaccines that let you travel backwards in time

Chicago friends: Abby is HILARIOUS and Kat is one of the few that understands the seriousness of this political moment. Go show them some love!

Y'all, @katmabu.bsky.social is the type of Dem I want to be fighting for. Her use of campaign money to actually serve the community she wants to represent is rad. Her ability to speak clearly against MAGA insanity is radical in every sense of the word.

I love this woman. I did not know who tf she was until I watched this video and now I love this woman

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

Trump admits (1) the company thrived during the last year of Biden’s economy and (2) will be bearing the brunt of tariffs in Trump’s economy

Straight jorkin a coup.

You hang a Dear Leader banner on a federal building and #LordLaser is gonna have something to say about it.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

This is how to honor teachers.

The pivot to blaming companies for the obvious consequence of your tariffs has begun

but seashells!

There’s no dumb right wing shit that this stupid newspaper won’t take at face value

Comey the Coup Jizzer

The Supreme Court holds that fascism is bad. Thomas and Alito dissent.

BREAKING: Moody’s has DOWNGRADED the United States’ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 — the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agency’s history. “We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.”

When a state forces a brain-dead pregnant woman to remain on life support against her family's wishes, it abandons its humanity. This is not pro-life; it's a profound violation of human rights. The trauma of continuing a pregnancy under such circumstances is unimaginable.

Meiselas: A lot of marginalized communities see fair-weather supporters—people who are with them when it seems cool, and then abandon them when the seasons change. I think that’s bullshit. I think you’ve got to stand with people and be who you are.

So, you might be wondering: does it matter if Covid shots are recommended? Yes, yes it does. 1. Insurance won't cover them if they're not recommended. That's a HUGE challenge for a lot of people. 2. If more people skip the shots, manufacturers will make fewer doses, making them harder to find.

I absolutely love this @katiephang.bsky.social

And the Qatari royal family has been unsuccessfully trying to sell it for five years.

Rep. Jason Smith: "And then you can look at Medicaid cuts -- Medicaid reforms, I should say." Oops.

How is this even a hard question? Yes, the constitution applies to everyone. Sorry if that answer didn't occur to you

So weird!

Screenwriter: In my movie I invented The Running Man as a cautionary tale Noem: At long last, we are creating The Running Man from the classic sci-fi movie The Running Man

Grok has more self-awareness than its owner. 🤡 @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/05/15/g...

pretty much every piece of news i see out of this administration is either so sadistic or completely wrongheaded that it takes me time to process it as real and not fiction

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

GOP plans to increase the tax rate by 74% by 2031 for people earning $15,000 yearly.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”
