With his gifts of intellect and rhetoric, J. D. Vance might have brought the country’s conflicting strands together. Instead, he took a path of extreme divisiveness to the peak of power. George Packer reports on the vice president’s transformation:

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

You can feel the love in the attention to detail with his bare hands.

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

Keep em stupid Keep em sick It’s in the plan.

In 9 minutes and 29 seconds, George Floyd was killed, forever changing this neighborhood

Is there another Jesus I don't know about.

Does Trump Want to Be the President Who Lost Ukraine? https://twp.ai/4imlX6

Since a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020, the number of people killed by the police each year has continued to rise — and Black Americans are still killed in disproportionate numbers. Our data reporter explains his findings. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

Russia, behind Brexit, Trump & Oct. 7th attacks and much of the current global 💩-baggery, is being fought by one country: Ukraine. Please keep your attention on them. They've been fighting heroically for over 3 years.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I’m old enough to remember what Covid was like before vaccines. Let’s tell the FDA what we think about this, shall we? www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Trump’s acceptance of the Qatari jet is yet another example of this administration’s rampant corruption… and opens up a whole host of security concerns. Another new low from an administration that can’t stop embarrassing itself.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, does not know what Habeas Corpus is. Dwell on this fact.

Ximena Arias-Cristobal, 19, was arrested in Dalton, Georgia, following a traffic stop. Her case has gained national attention as she remains in ICE custody even though she is innocent. A bond hearing was initially scheduled for Tuesday, but has now been rescheduled to Wednesday at 1 p.m.

Same Sis, same. 🥀

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Please pass on to Chris Mason. A serious journalist would recognise that what Starmer has just negotiated goes some way to undoing the damage that Brexit did to UK fishermen and the rest of us. As for your pathetic question to von der Leyen , it was just rude and ignorant.

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

We have peer reviewed studies of mifepristone and decades of successful use. It is safer than Viagra or Tylenol This study is BS 🔥 @seckennedy.govpeeps.us Kennedy is a lying useful pawn. This is about CONTROLLING WOMEN

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Unthinkable evil.

@democrats.org Constituents will be watching all of you. If you spread this nonsense abt Biden instead of standing up to the lies and discussing actual issues, like Medicaid, Medicare, and fascism, we won't forget. And when we get our country back? You'll be voted out. That's a promise.

I had cancer here. 3 tumors + 9 nodes. No risk factors. Or symptoms. I was dx’d with stage 3B invasive ductal carcinoma when Eli was 5 mos old. Clean physical a month earlier. Cancer doesn’t usually hurt or make you sick. Leave Biden alone and count your blessings if you don’t know cancer.

With the mainstream news attention that will be given to Biden's cancer diagnosis, I hope reporters also focus on the Trump Administration's aggressive cuts to our medical and health research that will inevitably lead to countless preventable deaths. It's happening right now.

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