This is how it’s done.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

Friday’s New York Post. When you’ve lost the Murdochs.

US President Donald Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished Department of Homeland Security data show, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 removals and returns in the last full year of Joe Biden's administration reut.rs/3QrUQfQ

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

So much for Trump’s call not to weaponize the DOJ 🙄 It’s a blatant attempt to silence critics. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

Is this what they meant by peak government efficiency?

Drudge Report dubs the Prez Comrade Trumpski. MAGA, is that what you voted for? A coward bowing to Putin ?

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

MAGA in a nutshell: "Please only viciously hurt *other* people for giggles and kicks!!!"

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Just cancelled my Apple News subscription. It wasn’t very good and crazy to pay $12 a month when Bluesky has more variety of opinions that aren’t owned by billionaire elites.

"Canada's relationship with the U.S. can't be saved" From the former vice chief of the Canadian defense staff nationalpost.com/opinion/mark...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Who would have thought? Aside from those paying attention to the ongoing voter suppression.

Croneyism. The economy is rigged.

Felon 47 bankrupts our Farmers. China or Russia will buy the Farmland and will lease it back, turning our Farmers into sharecroppers. Am I wrong?

People you love will die as health care costs rise and your government pulls back. Ignorance will grow deeper and wider. Farms will fail and families with children will go hungry. Bridges will collapse. The rich will live well off the back of your labor. This is the Republican vision.

The new iconic photo that i predicted ultimately destroys the relationship:

On the left is a middle-age man wearing a ball-cap at work, proving he has no idea of what is appropriate. On the right is an old man wearing 3 quarts of liquid foundation, proving he has no idea of what is appropriate. A nation run by incompetent idiots.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports. It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people. Some populist, huh?

How does a man like Putin, who grew up in a rat infested apartment end up being worth $200 billion and owning a house as such. Without ever working in any business? He becomes a President and steals from the people. This is where we are at. Now imagine it’s America. How much can they steal?

Can we dispense with this “unfounded claims” shit finally? He lies, pathologically. Period.

Russell Vought, the co-author of Project 2025, has said that we live in a post-constitutional time and has proposed hundreds of billions in cuts to health care and other essential programs. Now, he’s nominated to run the Office of Management and Budget.
