If you had told me the bitchiest moment of Pride Month would be this...

As threats build to Medicaid, many Ohioans who stand to be affected don’t know it, advocates said Saturday, even though Republicans in Congress could end up ending health care for more than 750,000 Ohioans. buff.ly/JeF6aKC

ESSAY: Beyoncé's "reclamation of America" the.ink/p/essay-beyo...

Here's a complete list of *everything* in the GOP megabill, thanks to heroic efforts from @aliciaparlap.bsky.social @emmbadger.bsky.social and Josh Katz. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump attempted to bully purchase Greenland. Today Greenland gave Trump a big fuck you. Instead of handing their land over to the corrupt Trump, so he could steal all their resources to enrich himself, Greenland instead calmly signed a 30-year mining deal with a Danish-French company.

“Pro-life.”

Sen. Rand Paul: "Tariffs are taxes. When you put a tax on a business it's always passed through as a cost...The U.S. doesn't trade with China. You trade with Walmart...Americans go in and buy a product. It might come from China...But there's an economic fallacy here."

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid. "Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

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

There's always a tweet.

When does the winning start? Wars are still raging in Ukraine & Gaza, a new war has broken out w/India-Pakistan, we’re bombing Yemen, allies & trading partners hate us, economic growth is negative, prices are going up, Iran is close to a nuke, and now they’re talking martial law.

Trump has now elected liberals in Canada, Australia, and the Vatican

At the rate Trump is saving lives from fentanyl, death will cease to exist by August!

Texas Judge Strikes Down Trump’s Use of Alien Enemies Act to Deport Venezuelans The ruling, which is limited to the SD of Texas, prohibited the admin from using the wartime law because the president’s claims about a Venezuelan gang do not add up to an “invasion.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...

“Today marks a triumph in our fight for the right of men to cum on women’s backs and keep it there,” said Gov. Kay Ivey theonion.com/new-ala...

Here is the video Kamala Harris spoke about tonight from our beautiful San Diego Zoo Safari Park. 💙 We need to protect each other and our most vulnerable.

#ProudBlue Kamala Harris delivers first major remarks since leaving office. You chose a #convictedfelon looking for retribution over the prosecutor who was ready to work for the country. Listen and weep, America.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris late last night on Trump: “If Congress fails to do its part, or if the courts fail to do their part…or if the president defies them…that is called a constitutional crisis.”

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

I wonder what the partisan split on the trucker vote in 2024 was like. Good times. www.apolloacademy.com/wp-content/u...

This is absolutely brutal

Luckily I’ve heard that we can simply do more pushups and this won’t be a problem because logistics are for sissies and nerds

There are certain things you just don’t let JD Vance near: - football trophies - couches - democracy - popes, apparently

An important Saturday message from our co-founder: www.meidasplus.com/p/important-...

Due process may be the last thing we have to save our Democracy!!! #SCOTUS

I told you this was coming…

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

@clairecmc.bsky.social What chocolate treat is behind you this morning on Morning Joe? They look scrumptious!!!

This Republican budget fails Ohioans by recklessly underfunding children, public education, Medicaid, & property tax relief.

Never fails

To recap: the bond market crashed, Trump soiled himself, and Bessent offered him a clean diaper and a way out

Declaring victory is one of Trump's superpowers. It doesn't fool the rest of the world, but half of America it works every time. I don't see why this time would be different.

5:50 pm PST: Japan’s banking sector in free fall. Complete meltdown across all major financial institutions with 14-17% drops not seen since 2008 financial crisis.

When Republicans consider Kyle Rittenhouse a victim after killing two people, but a 12 year old rape victim seeking an abortion is considered a villain, that's how you know it's not about being pro-life. It's about controlling women! #ProudBlue #HandsOff2025 #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Who did this?

Update “📉 Wall Street in turmoil: Dow -3.7%, S&P -4.4%, Nasdaq -5.6%, Japan -3%, European markets -2-3%. Bitcoin drops to $81,466 (-6%). All amid the aftermath of Hurricane and Trump tariffs shaking the global economy. Is this the end of the golden age of America? 🌍💰 #StockMarketCrash #TrumpTariffs”

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
