Don't lose track of other things that are important in all Trump's chaos Like the fact that his defense lawyer & DOJ hatchet man Emil Bove has a hearing on Wed. in the Senate for a lifetime judicial appointment on the 3rd circuit From there the next stop could be SCOTUS! Now is the time to fightšŸ‘‡

"Only 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date..." www.texastribune.org/2025/06/17/t...

Trump literally had ā€œMake Juneteenth a national holidayā€ in his PROMISE TO BLACK VOTERS that he put out in September of 2020 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rarely does one capture the bare essence of a person so succinctly. @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social

I’m old enough to remember the GOP outrage over the ā€œObamaā€ phones, but not a single one of them will care about this not-made-in-America grift

Brilliant

Is there ANY evidence - actual evidence - that the Trump 2.0 team of lazy performative nitwits have, in fact curtailed ANY Waste, Fraud, or Abuse in ANYTHING? One example? A scintilla? A mere whiff? A molecule? A quark? Anything?

NEW: I may or may not have gone on a bit of a rant on today’s @dailybeanspod.com about the DoJ’s response to Newsom’s lawsuit.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

ā€œKennedy’s move appears to violate a pledge he made to Sen. Bill Cassidy (R) during his confirmation process that he would ā€˜maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changesā€™ā€ šŸ‘šŸ¼ That’s why you don’t vote to confirm these people šŸ‘šŸ¼

I've always loved Paul Rudnick's wit.

Well, Trump threatened additional sanctions yesterday if Russia didn’t agree to an immediate cease fire. 4th time he’s done that, and this is 4th time they rejected it. Trump continues to make threats while doing nothing, making us look weak and foolish yet again.

NEW: Drug companies in the U.S. face few restraints on what to charge for their products. A bipartisan bill would penalize those companies that sell their drugs at higher prices than the average of the prices in other wealthy nations. By @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social

New from @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social: When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked even me.

The man who has never accepted responsibility, apologized, or admitted a mistake in his entire life isn’t about to start now.

This video should have the music from Benny Hill in the background.

The stock market has now lost over $9 trillion in value since Trump took office this year. $5 trillion of that loss has been in the past two days.

RAND PAUL: ā€œ.. When McKinley most famously put tariffs on in 1890, [the GOP] lost 50 percent of their seats in the next election. When [Smoot and Hawley] put on their tariff in the early 1930s, we lost the House and the Senate for 60 years.ā€ @washingtonpost.com t.co/ONtPfv9On2

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates: "Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one

I'm sitting here laughing that Republicans spent all that time trying to "save" appliances under Biden, and Whirlpool had to lay off around 650 workers because of Donald Trump. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

I wish MAGA spent as much time screeching about Donald Trump vandalizing the economy as they do about people keying Teslas.

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

Trump is heading down to Florida today for a LIV golf dinner & tournament at his Doral club (he didn’t even bother to wait until Friday this week). KSA has been good to him and he knows where his bread is buttered. Stock Market is down 1500 points and we’re heading for a global recession. Winning!

Tulsi Gabbard may have perjured herself yesterday in front of the Senate.

Not to be a wide-eyed naĆÆf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

ā€œNobody’s texting war plansā€

Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that he’s ā€œnever met, don’t know, never communicated withā€ Jeffrey Goldberg. Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy. The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.
