ā€œThe government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.ā€ — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

it's so bizarre to see basically every major institution in America, frequently including the one directly positioned opposite of him in politics, insist that he is simply too powerful of a political force to challenge head on

We don’t have to wonder how President Trump will line his pockets if the GENIUS Act passes—he's showing us now. Since Monday's GENIUS Act vote, his stablecoin’s daily trade volume has increased by over a BILLION dollars, or 1000%. The Senate can and must stop this corruption.

I've never seen it so well put before.

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

I think the real "monsters" are the people who would - without any due process - dump Asian refugees in the middle of a civil-war-torn African nation just for the sport of it. But that's just me

Oh. Donald Trump lied. Trump tasked special envoy Steve Witkoff with finding an airplane because he’s big mad that Boeing can’t finish the new Air Force One as fast as he wants it. In February, Trump toured the plane from Qatar at the airport near Mar-a-Lago.

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

Oh, ABC. You blew it when you caved the first time and cut a $16m check. Don’t give Shitler another inch or another dime, and tell him to go fuck himself. #GoHarvard #GoMaine

That’s why you’re still here.

Dear @brucespringsteen.net, think about it. I'd even break my 25-year embargo on DC to attend.

do any of these people actually know what medicaid is?

They come for asylum, insisting they face persecution for their religion, or sexuality or for supporting the wrong politicians. For generations, they had been given the chance to make their case to U.S. authorities. Not anymore. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey. Delicious. www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

3 headlines of Trump’s brazen, unprecedented corruption that would end any other presidency, all just from today. (Imagine what we don’t even know about) If you don’t see what he’s doing it’s because you don’t want to.

This exchange overnight in the U.S. House shows what lawmakers face when they try to protect vulnerable Americans. Republican elitism and sexism are off the charts.

Donald Trump wants to cut funding for the LGBTQ+ suicide hotline for kids. This is a terrible decision that would cost lives. To our LGBTQ+ community: I will never stop fighting for you.

We can read - we’re not "claiming" millions will lose health insurance. It’s in the damn bill. Thanks for the free air time anyways, Fox News.

They're cutting food assistance that disproportionately helps their own constituents... who are working but don't make enough money to feed their families... at a time when food shelf visits are at an all-time high. I'm running out of synonyms for cruel.

If there were ever a time to call your members of Congress and tell them to vote NO on a bill, now would be the time. 202-224-3121

Your School House Rock moment.....šŸ¤”

Trump and Noem opened an ICE detention center in Newark without permission and in clear violation of the city's ordinances. And when confronted by Mayor Baraska, they did what authoritarians do. They arrested and disappeared him.

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

The clip is even better than the quote. Thank you @balint.house.gov!

Worth watching and sharing

Do your job, Sean.

Breaking News: The Trump administration is planning to send a group of migrants to Libya, in a sharp escalation of its deportation program.

Left: $675,000 raised for a woman who called a child the N word—the comments on line were so racist they had to be deleted. Right: Just found not far from my home in Los Angeles—I live in one of the most diverse parts of town. We live in a deeply racist country, and it’s time to stop denying it.

If the genders were reversed every journalist would be writing articles about the extreme outlier group in this graph, not the group that's basically in line with everyone else.

President Trump plans to commemorate Flag Day, which also happens to fall on his birthday, with a ā€œbig, beautifulā€ military parade in Washington, D.C Defense officials say the estimated cost could be as high as $45 million. Trump says it would be worth it.

The sleepwalk into authoritarianism continues

The acting U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., has sent letters to several leading medical journals asking for information about their editorial practices.

$9 billion a year for NSF is absolute chump change. It's nothing. And yet, cutting it will devastate American science for decades. God, we're led by a morons, empowered by idiots.

The U.S. economy just had its worst quarter in three years, and MAGA is blaming… Joe Biden. Are you fucking kidding me?

This is a horror beyond belief. Every other sin of this administration combined pales in comparison tbh

Neutral Switzerland šŸ”„ I love this so much…
