Your tariffs wrecked the economy and broke the law. That’s anti-American.

“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening...” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

It’s easy to be depressed, discouraged, dumbfounded by the cruelty and brainlessness of Trump and the people around him. But today I want to celebrate what may be a turn in the Trump tide. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-4a6

why talk about what happened anyway? Joe is retired now - and well-deserved...

"An estimated 60 percent of emerging infectious diseases come from animals, and a major cause of viruses’ jump from wildlife to humans is habitat loss, often through deforestation."

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

I have no faith in any GOP Senator. Not a one. They will cave. And if they don’t, I will be delighted to be wrong. But I’m not.

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Good morning!

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Dear Members of the Press. P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US. Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

He nailed it!

We fought a war so we wouldn’t have a ruler who wanted majesty. It’s the people’s house, not a palace or a tacky casino.

Never forget what Mussolini did! Smeared the press, demanded loyalty, threatened opponents, cried election fraud, and spread lies through state channels… oh wait, that was Taco Donold.

We have a heroin addict running our nation's Healthcare, a Ketamine addict deciding where all of our tax dollars go, a drunk leading our militarily,a puppy killer in charge of our nation's security and a speed freak in the Oval Office. What could possibly go wrong?

Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. I cannot ignore what Trump is doing to our democracy and our country. Or more precisely, I will not. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

Sounds like he should have been cutting back on his substance use, not our federal government.

Trump gets visibly angry at "chickening out" question about tariffs. Says to the reporter, "You ask a nasty question like that" (animation from the archives)

Happy hopeful FriYay and thank you Jimmy Kimmel Live for sharing this hysterical piece. This stuff is clearly under his skin and I for one am here for it. The tiny tacos in the tiny hands is the best. Since it annoys him so, kindly share far and wide. 😉

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

The selling of the presidency is the most successful business venture of Donald Trump’s career, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.

White House MAHA Report may have garbled science by using AI, experts say.

Another worthy acronym

The cancellation of funds for Moderna to develop the bird flu vaccine is a heinous mistake. This will inevitably result in the further spread of disease, loss of life, and economic consequences. Yet another shortsighted, foolish move, puppeted by RFK Jr. to fuel his anti-vax agenda. Despicable.
