I Love when they are confronted with the Obvious facts. They start tap dancing 💃 around 🕺 the 🕺 truth 💃!!

"Maybe you should have marched better in Dear Leader's birthday parade. Kidding! We would have deported her anyway. We don't care about you people."

Sending a trading partner a letter is to a trade negotiation deal as masturbation is to sex: Whatever you're imagining, you're not actually involving the other party, and you're not exploring gains from trade.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

REPUBLICANS: "We need to privatize government agencies like NASA so they will run better!"

Apparently, Russ Vought has been going to great lengths to keep his $30 BILLION illegal impoundment plans under wraps. He would probably hate it if you reposted this. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Our analysis found a number of videos - created using artificial intelligence - boasting of Iran's military capabilities, alongside fake clips showing the aftermath of strikes on Israeli targets. The three most viewed fake videos BBC Verify found have collectively amassed over 100 million views

"Evil says one life is worth less than another. Evil says the flow of commerce is our purpose here. Evil says concentration camps for folks deemed lesser are necessary. The handmaid of evil says the concentration camps should be more humane. Beware the centrist." Willem Van Spronsen died a hero.

Don’t forget to watch the documentary on the Ohio State sex scandal Jim Jordan tried to have blocked. It’s on HBO Max. www.max.com/movies/survi...

“.. the overlapping timeline of that decision with his meetings with Senate staff and the White House Counsel’s Office has not previously been reported.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

🚨Tron was linked to more illicit crypto activity than any other blockchain last year—58%, per a report. Donald Trump just expanded his partnership with it. My story for @forbes.com 1/

🚨New: “Trump Org Keeps Bringing In Foreign Workers To Staff Its Clubs And Winery” It’s sought to import 1,880 foreign workers since 2008, per Labor Dept. records—including 31 farm workers for its vineyard this year. me, for @forbes.com 1/

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

At the very same time Fox is criticizing Gavin Newsom for attending a fundraiser for cancer research, Donald Trump is at his country club in NJ hosting a high-dollar fundraiser for himself with fat-cat mega donors while we are on the brink of war..

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

The Supreme Court's bias toward corporate interests is persistent, pervasive, and exhaustively documented. But it is still extraordinary to hear a sitting justice bluntly call it out and castigate her colleagues for consistently twisting the rules in favor of big business. slate.com/news-and-pol...

God bless Canada!

"Wearing their Illinois National Guard uniforms, Axel and Andres Reyes arrived with their mother at the immigration office Tuesday morning. "The men, 19 and 24, watched their mother, who has been in the U.S. for more than 24 years, enter the office..." chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...

The shorter Duffy: unless you kowtow before Fearless Leader and do everything he demands of you, we're going to withhold your appropriated funds. And we don't care that doing so is illegal, either.

If Republicans stand behind their phenomenally unpopular and regressive budget bill, they should defend it on the merits. Instead they're touting legislation that doesn't exist -- a fantasy bill that somehow doesn't widen deficits, purge people from Medicaid, or give its biggest benefits to the rich

Famous communist....Fulgencio Batista

Venn diagram of 1) people ready to kill because the government told them to put a cloth mask over their mouth five years ago and 2) people who are okay with masked agents in plain clothes abducting people off the streets today without warrants or evidence

The Mad King is calling for a Special Prosecutor to investigate election fraud… Days ago Benz went on John Solomon and said FBI covered up Chinese interference. Said EIP helped conspire to “censor” it. PAY ATTENTION. The bullshit machine is kicking into gear, trying to spin lies into reality.

Once again, we are about to magically rediscover how people actually care about unemployment & jobs, after being told for several years that they only care about inflation: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

They’re cooking up bills so bad the CBO economists can’t look at them directly without hurting their eyes

JD Vance posted on Bluesky at 4:50, the National Security Council meeting began at 5, then he posted on Twitter about his Bluesky posts at 6. This is insulting.

One of many reasons the “we need to sell federal lands to improve home affordability” gambit is failing politically is that there’s already 50% tariffs on steel and the Trump admin is prepping tariffs on lumber too—it’s clear they don’t actually care about construction costs!

YOU WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY??? *This* is the NOW INFAMOUS "Footnote 12" that Jackson wrote. It basically tells Neil Gorsuch: "Fuck you as a staff, label, and motherfucking crew."

I'm a kidney transplant recipient, I require lifelong treatment. As do millions of people on various drug therapies. This argument is so thin the author MUST know it and have decided their transphobic audience would swallow it whole.

Any corporate executive who signs off on a bribe to Trump should be prepared to explain their crimes in front of Congress and to the public when Democrats retake power

‘Throwing us off a cliff': Megabill could derail hundreds of planned clean energy projects www.politico.com/news/2025/06... POLITICO analysis: 794 planned clean electricity generation facilities — 3/4 in GOP districts — that could lose subsidies under the House bill. The Senate is debating changes.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

This crisis in Iran is entirely because of Trump's shitty leadership. They stopped installing centrifuges until Trump ripped up the deal Iran made with President Obama—simply out of spite. Now he's barreling toward another poorly planned conflict in the Middle East. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

We’ve got money to bulldoze the White House Rose Garden and turn it into a Mar-a-Lago-style patio, but we can’t pay for cancer research for kids or make sure veterans aren’t living off food stamps.

Interviews with local business guys are like, "I voted for the dictator on day one but I didn't think that meant a secret police would take my best workers to a black site."

One fascinating thing lately is that some of the biggest conspiracy humpers have been put in positions where they have access to all the info to prove they were right all along and they discover, oh, shit, there is no conspiracy. Bongino and Gabbard have said as much.

🚨 ⚠️ CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS!!! ⚠️ 🚨 You've been reading about password hacks before but this one is different because it is so huge and nearly all major tech companies are involved❗ “It’s a blueprint for mass exploitation, not old recycled breaches, this is fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale!”

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

The best definition of the term that I am aware of states that "information is a measure of uncertainty reduced." By this definition there is almost zero information in news of what he says he will do. This is bad for the news, which is one reason he does it.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Not just yelling at Americans that we’re slackers for the “eCoNoMy”….. but then jetting off on our taxpayer dime to golf at his taxpayer funded golf motel….for the 10th time in 6 months…. #GreedOverPeople Party

Several Ohio State wrestlers and a referee told assistant coach Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) about the sexual assaults on wrestlers by the team doctor and he just dismissed it by saying, "That's just Doc!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSP3...

What glitter doing?🤣🤣🤣 #ICE #Glitter #FuckICE #Protests
