Love this. Good people stepping up when the system fails our kids.

Trump already fired his first FEMA chief last month. This is the upgrade.

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.

Apparently whoever is doing the vetting for MAGA purity before these nominations are made isn’t ever able to find any of this stuff out. I think this is around a dozen nominees who have lost their positions 2-3 months later. More bumbling incompetence on display to the world.

Fresh out of prison with their Trump pardons, now it’s time for the fraudsters to cash in. MAGA!

Everyone is getting pardons from Trump, including dirty cops who get caught taking bribes on video, but Joe Exotic gets passed over again.

Good thing for Putin he has such a good friend in WH to run cover for him while he continues to bomb civilians.

Russian state media mocks Trump’s post.

Has there ever been a Secretary of State with less authority to conduct foreign policy than Marco Rubio?

Florida Man

And if he really wants to tempt fate to own the libs, he could try showing up at the Martha’s Vineyard Book Fair.

The worst thing about this for Tommy is that he now has to move to Alabama. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Since I speak fluent Trump, let me explain this. Trump announced his Golden Dome thing without checking with Canada. He can’t do it without Canada’s cooperation. Now Canada is using it as leverage in trade negotiations. So dumbass Trump is clowning to find a way to make it work.

Trump is just going to keep slinging pardons to the highest bidders because the power is unlimited & Repubs in Congress won’t say a word. Despite no legal or moral justification, they will come steadily all 4 years - each more reprehensible and brazen than the one before it.

What a shocker. They don’t seem to fit the profile of Trump pardon recipients. 🙄

Wow. Just wow. Dripping with sincerity and authenticity. A contrived fake apology to Lara Trump to pander to MAGA hoping they might buy some books. Packaged in pious sanctimony, smugness, & condescension, then sprinkled with a healthy dose of elitism. Gross. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

New DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro releases a video complaining about water at the office.

Democrats are missing two members who died in office.

As I predicted April 30, Chip voted for it. These guys all make lots of noise about debt and deficits, then vote to pile it on in record amounts.

Very courageous for the Chair of the House Freedom Caucus Andy Harris to vote “present” on the budget. He took a strong and principled stand to do nothing, and refused to waiver from his firm commitment to do nothing.

In the past 18 hours, Acyn with Meidas was up all night. He posted 32 clips of Democrats opposing the budget on the floor, 24 clips of Dems in the Rules Committee, and 18 clips of interviews we did of Dems off the floor. We also spotlighted many Dems who never get media airtime.

Clyde owns gun shops in Georgia.

All day, every day. The 24 hour CNN host book sale network. Got to take the tie off when you switch seats from host to guest. bsky.app/profile/atru...

He is actually making the argument, with a straight face, that Trump’s crypto BS is all about helping out “struggling Americans working paycheck to paycheck” by making it easier for them to buy crypto. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Rep. Randy Fine on Gaza: “In WW2 we didn’t negotiate a surrender with the Nazis or Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here. There is something deeply wrong with this culture and it needs to be defeated.”

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The Facebook account Trump shared with South Africa's president as "proof" of a genocide against white South Africans belonged to a fringe account that frequently posts racist imagery and pushes flat Earth conspiracies.

This is some authoritarian shit. Noem said since Harvard won’t give her disciplinary records on students, she’s terminating their foreign exchange student program immediately, and ordered that foreign students must transfer to other schools or have visas revoked.

Worth a read: "I’ve reported on presidents’ health for 53 years. No public evidence suggests Biden’s doctors mishandled prostate cancer testing" www.statnews.com/2025/05/19/b... via @statnews.com

Gabbard’s top aide, ordering changes to an intel assessment that debunked one of Trump’s lies: “We need to do some rewriting … so this document is not used against the DNI or POTUS.” Politicizing intelligence is just another one of the many corrupt acts Trump falsely alleged and is now committing.

How much is Trump Putin’s sniveling symp? Russia now rates the French as their top rival. “La France est en "guerre informationnelle" avec la Russie” www.tf1info.fr/internationa...

Economists in a May 14-21 Reuters poll were unanimous the Trump administration's policies have hurt the economy, with over 55% saying "significantly hurt" www.reuters.com/world/china/...

A trade war + a budget busting, deficit-hiking, debt-exploding Maga tax bill has the bond market very, very nervous. Many of the assumptions built into the Republican billionaire tax cut assumed lower interest rates, and we are headed in the other direction.
