Jimmy Kimmel nailed it. Trump isn’t leading, he’s lashing out… AT AMERICANS! He stokes chaos, targets cities, manufactures crises… all to dodge accountability and drown out real questions (Epstein, Elon, anything real). Distraction is his strategy.👇

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov please vote no on the Republican Devastating Bill. The attacks on women is untenable. The attack on our public lands and monuments is horrifying. The cuts to Medicaid will leave people dead. Work the room! Put a stop to this insanity!

1/2 Marker of our times: Public discuss has normalized idea that whatever is churning around in Trump's mind can, w no restraint or involvement from anyone else, plunge world into recession ("my tariffs") or major war (Iran) And that he'll make "reveal" of his whim something like 'Survivor.'

To those who are familiar with the confessional prose piece by German pastor Martin Niemöller about 1930s Nazi Germany, his famous 'I did not speak out' warning is now happening in 2025 Trump America. White people are being abducted and detained by Trump's ICE Gestapo. 😳👇

the takeaway from this is that, for all practical purposes, stephen miller is the acting president of the united states. trump is just play-acting as the boss, as he did on the Apprentice. (gift link) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.

Tulsi Gabbard is now saying exactly the opposite of what she testified & the opposite of the statement in the worldwide threat assessment the entire intelligence community produced. It’s rather dangerous when the director of national intelligence cannot accurately convey a hard-and-fast reality.

Donald #TrumpPriceCheck I do not need to convince you Trump is a liar. But the easiest proof of this is when you go buy stuff. Eggs: April average price for 12 large eggs was 79 percent higher than the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported for the same month a year ago, that price $2.86 dozen.

The numbers are brutal across the board. Trump is underwater on immigration (46-53%), foreign policy (42-57%), and catastrophically bad on the economy (40-58%) and inflation (34-64%). In a Truth Social meltdown, Trump branded Fox's pollster "crooked" and claimed… www.rawstory.com/karoline-lea...

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!
