They must live in a different reality than I do

Trump’s exact quote to Fox today on this: “We’re doing coal. I don’t want windmills destroying our place. I don’t want these solar things where they go for miles and they cover up half a mountain and are ugly as hell.”

Aren’t we lucky, nothing but bull-shit policies & bad bills from this president & administration… The U.S. trade gap increased in May by about 11 percent as exports decreased & imports remained relatively unchanged, Commerce Department's Census Bureau reported. www.newsweek.com/us-trade-def...

Traitor Trump is promoting a book by Insurrectionist ringleader and Russian agent, Mike Flynn. HE is the reason Trump is in power now. No Justice

We were wrong. The Senate revision of the bloated budget bill raises the national debt $4.2 trillion, not 3.4 trillion. 12 million people will be thrown off insurance, not 11 million. Some Senators are demanding even more. We are going in the wrong direction! Stop this madness. @lwvus.bsky.social

A Trump supporter murdered a Democratic official, her husband, & her dog & tried to murder another Democratic official & his wife, & the media just let it go, even though he had a kill list with dozens of people on it.

mike johnson doesn't give a shit

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

No surprise. There are no moderates in the GOP Senate and House -- just proud MAGA and scared MAGA.

“Alaskans call me Lisa” “Kill the bill, Lisa! Kill the bill!” @climatedefiance.bsky.social disrupted @lisamurkowski’s book launch party👇🏽 Now she holds the fate of many in her hands. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Trump is running the government like one of his old casinos in Atlantic City.

Protesters in Venice projected ‘No Kings No Bezos’ onto St. Mark’s Campanile during his wedding and floated a bald-headed mannequin down the Grand Canal atop an Amazon delivery box, its hands clutching cash.

Marc Elias: Trump has destroyed the Justice Department’s independence…

I'M SAYING IT OUT LOUD! LISTEN UP, PEOPLE!

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️

I will never understand why SCOTUS is helping Trump to build a totalitarian fascist state. From Justice Jackson’s dissent: “In a constitutional Republic such as ours, a federal court has the power to order the Executive to follow the law—and it must.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

True story ~ crazy! #Pinks

“Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent." -Justice Sotomayor #SCOTUS

People freaking out about having a socialist in the NYC mayoral residence but OK with having a fascist in the White House.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Arbeit Macht Frei

Contrary to popular opinion, not every insane, corrupt, maniacal thing they do is calculated to distract us from a thing you think is more important. They aren’t usually playing 4-D chess here. The majority of time it is just because they’re insane, corrupt and maniacal.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

Well that was quick

Emil Bove was Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and at the Department of Justice, he has served as Trump’s chief enforcer. Most importantly to Trump, Bove is also a true believer in the Big Lie, which is exactly why Trump wants him on the 3rd Circuit. Paige and I discuss. youtube.com/watch?v=kCb9...

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

While vaccine policy is being unraveled at ACIP, let’s not lose sight of what vaccines have already done. ✨Millions of lives saved. ✨Diseases wiped out. ✨Generations protected. We made an infographic to show just how much the world owes to vaccines. #VaccinesSaveLives
