🔥 Senator @ossoff.bsky.social: “Who out there is sitting at home demanding we shut down cancer & Alzheimer’s research? We’re going to pay for this for a century. Irreversible damage has been done. It’s an outrage.” On Trump, DOGE, & the GOP’s budget cuts (to make way for tax cuts for the rich)

Jrue Holiday has been named the 2024-25 NBA Social Justice Champion, per the NBA. Well deserved.

When A President Isn’t A Criminal Propped Up By A Corrupt Supreme Court…

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

I don't care that they went to space, but still....it's tone deaf.

Space tourism is, at best, folly—silly, spectacularly wasteful, pointless by definition. And Katy Perry was the perfect celebrity to do it, @elcush.bsky.social writes: https://theatln.tc/CVNBxdTg

East Liberty. Target. Caller says a dozens of kids are fighting each other with sticks in the parking lot. One PD said that he stopped them already and they're harmlessly playing Star Wars.

☘️ Look, it's golf. I get it. ☘️ But Rory McIlroy's Masters victory was one for the truly good guys. He didn't take the Saudi's gruesome blood money to play on an odious tour endorsed by the world's most notorious, orange cheater. ☘️ He stayed loyal and true to who he is, and tonight he's the champ.

“He’s not a monster. He just plays one in the White House.” Whether it’s Bill Maher’s obsequious attempt to normalize Trump, or Tucker Carlson’s fawning over Putin, weak men have been capitulating to power since the beginning of time.

Let’s send food safety inspectors to the coal mines’

If you are a law student or associate who joined one of the Big Law firms that is now collaborating with Trump to do pro bono, ignore the bullshit management is telling you. Here is what Trump has in mind for you. Your spineless leaders will never say no to him.

If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

I still can't get over how rapey the vibe of this tweet is from the White House, shocked it's still up. It sounds like trump wrote it.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

I am proud to be part of the organizing committee for this important event! Join us on June 6th in Washington D.C. Go to the website and sign up for updates. Veterans and supporters are welcome. Let's show them we won't let them quietly dismantle our earned benefits.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

SCOTUS ruled Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants but must give notice and court access. Dissenting justices warned of due process violations. Lower courts are now blocking some deportations. While legal battles continue. Popok explains below. 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNn2...

What we are witnessing is not just Trump collapsing the economy and global markets, but also massive theft and fraud at a colossal scale.

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Dear millionaires, You’re not billionaires. You’re not in the fuckin’ club. ~ The 99%

Downtown. 1000 Penn Ave - The Westin. Caller said that a wedding crasher came into an event and started drinking and playing his own music.

I’m no socialist but this speaks to me

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Privatizing Social Security means people will die. Privatizing the Post Office means people will lose the right to vote by mail. Rural America will be unreachable because no private carrier will go there. Privatizing the VA means vets do not get the specialized care they need & have earned.

Democratic House Rep. Gil Cisneros on Pete Hegseth: "He's actually talking about polygraphing people there at the Pentagon to find out where the leaks are. Well, problem solved. Starts right there with the Secretary of Defense. He's the one creating the problems...Loose lips sink ships." 🔥

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Circling back on this…
